Can you think of one thing that you consider to be too serious to be joked about? Do people sometimes joke about it, nevertheless?
Someone's handicap would be off-limits in my opinion. I will joke about a lot of serious stuff but I'm basically harmless and usually not mean-spirited.
Well, Ken, it can just depend on how serious-minded the person is, or, how they handle a joke. Black and Hispanic stand-up comedians are always saying jokes about their race. George Lopez does/did on his tv show. But, there are certain serious things that a person should think about before joking about...........but, most of us don't "think before we speak". Just ask me! LOL
To me, late stage abortions. I understand abortions causing a lot of emotional stress. But to wait past 4 months is unnecessary procrastination, not to be taken lightly. The thought of killing a baby mid birth disgusts me. Like satanic ritual rumors.
In a nuclear war, they say the only thing to survive will be cockroaches. Which means most countries will still have functioning governments.
I know that I asked the question, but I can't think of anything. There are, of course, things that I wouldn't joke about with particular people, and there are jokes that I wouldn't tell. But then, when our teacher announced that President Kennedy had been assassinated and school was being let out early, I said, "Good, I hope they shoot him again tomorrow." Seemingly, I was the only one who thought that was funny, although I suspect there were at least a few who were too cowardly to laugh. Spoiler: Secret I still think it was funny but I would know better than to actually say it now.
As others have stated, it depends on the person's tolerance for having something they care about being poked fun at. Personally, I have learned not to joke about: 1. A person's wrinkles (my mom) 2. A person going bald (my dad) 3. A person's belief in the bible/religious views (my sister) Unfortunately, I'm starting to understand #1 and #2 all too well. Luckily they all forgave me, but I still can't accept the 2x2 going on the ark thing. Sorry, sis.
I was about to say God. It is one of the commandments not to use Gods name in vain. Have you studied or investigated the subject? It was only the local animal's and he had years to gather them, https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=793d...YmxlLmNvbS93aGVyZS13YXMtbm9haHMtZmxvb2Q&ntb=1 The Hebrew word “‘erets”, translated as “earth” in this verse is far more often translated as “land”. 700 times more often to be exact, and remember God called the dry land earth. Obviously, Noah’s Ark was not above the “earth”, it was simply floating on the Floodwaters that covered the “land”, (Genesis 7:18).
A Rabbi, a Priest and a Preacher walked into a bar. uh..okay. A blind Rabbi, a black Priest and a stuttering Preacher walk into a gay bar and uh… A blind autistic Rabbi, a trans black Priest with herpes and a stuttering sociopathic sadistic satanist Preacher walk into a LGBTQrstuvw bar to have drinks and interview a Russian botched abortion survivor about celebrating the anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown. Dunno. I guess it all depends on who is telling the joke and who the listener is.
On the breast cancer forum, there are sections for the different stages of the disease. For Stage IV, which is the end-game and ultimately fatal stage, there is a thread called Stage IV Gallows Humor. Some of those sweet women have such a great sense of humor, but it is a closed group (as it should be). Kind of like "I can make fun of my family but YOU had best not consider it." Here's a typical entry... "Friday was my Faslodex shot day. I got in the car to go up there and got my phone plugged in to listen to my Playlist. I swear. "Staying Alive" started playing....I literally put my head back and cackled at the irony. "
