Has anyone noticed that in society these days, it's funny when people get hurt? I laugh at it too. With movies, when someong trips or walks into a pole or blows their chance with the one they really like - it's funny. And sometimes, when you feel bad for the person, you don't laugh when bad things occur to them. How does that work? I think it may be psychological, and maybe all subconciously mental as well. It could just be that we were raised in a generation where swearing and idiocy and violence and humorous pain are acceptable. Where did that come from? What makes it funny? When did poverty and homelessness and idiocy and bad luck and things like that become amusing? I don't know, and I guess it depends on who you're talking to - I shouldn't stereotype the whole populace - but what are your views? Did what I said open any thoughts in your mind? I'm rammbling, but I'd love to hear your views, too. ^_^

I've realized that too. In 8th grade in my Language Arts class. My friend Ryan backed up into the lamp post and it was shaking back and forth nearly fell on him. Guess what? Everyone laughed. My teached Mrs. Childs asked Why was it sooo funny? I didn't know why. She was asking Why was it funny when her backed up and ran into the post? I don't know, but it fuuny!

At Tom's Food Market I was paying no attention to what was ahead of me. But I was watching cars drive by when I was walking with my mo and two sisters. I ran into the pole, face firts. Then I started walking and watched another pole, again for the second time I ran into the pole. There were four poles, but I ran onto two! What luck!

Theres one story for me!

Yeah, see? I'm hearing the backed-into-a-pole story, and I'm feeling bad for the guy, not laughing. I don't know him, don't know anything except what happend to him, and that just seems like a bad, dangerous peice of terribly bad luck. I don't always understand our society these days, full of alot of IM-chatting idoit school-flunkers, with a bunch of people wiht future's mixed, and then again you can't really judge by the begining years, because some people never change while others have huge transitions to completely different lifestyles, but I just don't know what's going on sometimes.

With movies like knocked-up and Superbad, which are hilariously stupid, with humor of people getting hurt and sex and all of that, and then all of the sick-minded horror films like Saw and Hannibal and Silence of the Lambs and ugh, *shudders* where some people are getting sexually excited by watching a half-naked girl get tortured. (Sorry if that's too inappropriate, I'll delete it if you tell me to) But I just don't understand where all the sickness and stupidity and funny-pain stuff came from. I have my share of stories, laughing at that girl on the "get a car you won't ignore" commercials where the jogger runs smack-dab into a car, falls down, and looks around like what the heck? and it's funny! And when friends trip over chairs and get up and are fine, sometimes laughing themselves, it's funny! I'll probably never understand it all, but it's healthy to ask.

Our society these days is just weird - (exaggerating slightly) everyone likes inappropriate rap, girls are getting sluttier younger, girls are really getting mean to eachother (not that they really stopped doing that) and people are doing bad things more often and the US is losing all of its jobs and Global Warming is upon us and all that, and it kind of makes you wonder what happend.

You wonder what would happen if Ben Franklin or George Washington came back to see how we were running the country, what would they think? I don't think they'd be happy with us, especially our government leaders. I mean, does our government gives us the rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"? To everyone? That's what the declaration of independence gives all human beings, and I don't think we all have it. If the government doesn't have it, the Declaration of Independance says the people "have the right to throw off such government" and basically get a new one that DOES meet the rights of every human being. I wonder what would happen if we got knew government sometimes.

I'm rammbling again, and I lost my train of thought, but that's what I could think of now. ^_^
