Ok, now there's a video on the internet called America's Funniest Homeland Security, it's basically the intro to America's Funniest Home Videos™ with footage from the World Trade Center attacks, and a lot of people find it offensive. To be honest, it IS offensive, but that's beside my point, a more important point, which states that if people don't like the video, they don't have to watch it. Now if they were forced to watch it, it would still be ok for others to find the video, itself funny, the only thing that wouldn't be ok would be the fact that people were being forced to watch it.
My point, the most important point is that it's morally ok for anyone to find anything funny and not be judged by it. Now people should only tell jokes that are acceptable in the social situation that they're in, and only laugh at things that are acceptable to laugh at in the social situation that they're currently in (if you're in an office, it wouldn't be ok to laugh at a joke about a tragedy, but it would be ok to laugh at a joke that was a play on words,) otherwise, it's ok for anyone to laugh at anything and make jokes about anything.
Some of you are reading this and asking to yourselves, "Is Xaxton Revolution actually saying that it's ok to joke and laugh about terrorism in certain situations?" And the answer to that is a big YES. And also I find that video hilarious and DON'T think I should be judged for that view. I don't endorse terrorism and/or violence, but when I see it on the news, I find it funny, and if anyone has a problem with that, then there's something wrong with them, not me.
And if you don't like my views and therefore don't want to read this, then I'm perfectly ok with that. If someone forces you to read anything that you don't want to (aside from a book report of a book you choose that's appropriate for the class that you're taking or a book that's not inappropriate at all) then that person's actions are highly immoral. Have a wonderful day.
