That's like saying not to look into the casket of your dead grandmother because you're not going to like what you see. It's not that people can't stomach it, they just don't find it funny because it's culturally repulsive.

Re: WARNING: Sick jokes. Do not read if you can't handle!

as i was taught, we need to look because we need closure and usually the corpse is very prettily done so as to attempt to preserve their image as they were in life.

though I don't see how these situations are comparable. It's like if you heard these outloud - if you had a friend who constantly told sick jokes, you wouldn't hang out with them because you wouldn't want to hear it; and they wouldn't want to hang out with you because you won't laugh. In either situation, one of the parties cease.

It's a similar situation except not nearly as complicated in "real life" human social behavior/interaction. On this thread, all you guys have to do is not click on the thread and read this stuff. It's your choice. Because it's your choice, you guys can also continue coming onto this thread and getting repulsed.

Though, that really makes no sense as to why someone'd willing do that. It would be a similar situation as to burning your hand on the stove. To avoid it, all you had to do is not put your hand on the stove while it's hot. Why would you repeatedly put your hand on the stove if you do not enjoy the feeling?

You truly are trying to live up to your Inquisitive Chatterbox title aren't you?

I chose the name because it quite clearly demonstrates my personality now doesn't it?

i am completely baffled by this scenario, which is why i'm trying to get some sort of understanding on it. To me and most everyone I know, it is "common sense" to avoid such a thread if it's repulsive. Yet, here, this is definitely not the case. So, I'm asking questions.

I apologize if I have come across as annoying to you. I appreciate you having taken the time and patience to throw in your ideas.

People aren't science experiments, if you want to learn about human nature get out in the real world... well, anywhere but America

That could be debated, actually

There's the human guinea pigs. Anthropology, sociology, psychology, and even some others (physiology, biology, etc) have used humans as specimens in an experiment and/or analyze a given situation like it is an experiment... which is almost what I'm doing, but I'm not going that far.

You see, you could almost take my mere presence here like a researcher and all my interactions with this forum are like different variables in an experiment (which is not why I'm here, but a sociologist would argue I'm doing this unconsciously). I'm doing "participant observation," as one of my methods. I have joined this forum, I have been active in it by chatting on the threads and holding various PM discussions, and I have been learning about the various interactions. For instance, i believe it was you, KanadaHye, who had to explain to me (then I believe it was Mos who reinforced your point with his own observance) that it is very common for Armenian males to be very argumentative when they're "discussing."

So, even virtually I am 'studying' human nature; which by the way, in sociology, is becoming its own type of "socialization group". It used to be primary vs secondary (intimate vs distant) but thanks to the internet, online communities and so forth, there's the emergence of the "tertiary" group -- which, as you may have guessed, is no face-to-face interation (most of the users here do not have a profile picture of themselves, and I don't see any avatars that involves their own face especially).

...and all that just made me realize how disturbing sociology can be.

Voted Best Joke in Ireland

John O'Reilly hoisted his beer and said, "Here's to spending the rest of me life,
between the legs of me wife!"

That won him the top prize at the pub for the best toast of the night!

He went home and told his wife, Mary, "I won the prize for the Best toast of the night."
She said, "Aye, did ye now. And what was your toast?" John said, "Here's to spending
the rest of me life, sitting in church beside me wife."

"Oh, that is very nice indeed, John!" Mary said.

The next day, Mary ran into one of John's drinking buddies on the street corner.

The man chuckled leeringly and said, "John won the prize the other night at the pub
with a toast about you, Mary."

She said, "Aye, he told me, and I was a bit surprised myself. You know, he's only
been in there twice in the last four years. Once he fell asleep, and the other time
I had to pull him by the ears to make him come."
