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

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?

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!

I wasn't saying they don't have the right to. I'm not saying they can't comment on it either.

All I'm asking is why would you willingly read material that you find offensive, repeatedly?

For instance, I know plenty of sick jokes. I don't find most of them funny, but I have a "strong stomach" and can handle them. I don't find them offensive, but rather I'm completely jaded to them.

On the other hand, especially in earlier posts, there were a lot of messages regarding how such a thread shouldn't exist, how gross/disgusting the people participating are, and so forth. Now, they quite clearly have made it known they do not like this material. They have the choice (thanks to freedom as you said) to either: continue subjecting themselves to this just once or multiuple times, or not seeing it at all by simply not clicking on the thread.

I do not understand why people choose to view something they find offensive.. especially multiple times. Yes, they have the right to. Anyone has the "right" to do something that harms themselves: suicide, cutting, burning, "self-insulting," etc.

Avoiding this thread is simple. All you have to do is not click. But why click if you know you are not going to like what you see?

No, it's a universal thing. People have the right to review the material posted and state their opinion. It's the reason why so many people died for freedom.

There isn't anything that Armenians haven't been subject to. We've lived through the darkest days, gone through hell and back and survived. We've learned a thing or two.

1) is to never trust anyone because everyone has a personal agenda
2) even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble has a way of finding you so when it shows up at your front door, shoot first and ask questions later.

I can understand that.
What i meant was, like this thread. You have a choice whether or not you want to subject yourselves to sick jokes. but you guys are choosing to subject yourselves. it's not being thrust upon you. no one's PMing you to go check this out.

Is that an Armenian thing?

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

I guess it's another armenian thing? to subject yourselves to material you really don't want to see?

You guys, I admire each of you and I hope you know that.

Out of respect for you, I am trying to warn you: this thread is entitled "Sick Jokes." It is full of jokes that are sick.

Though none of the people who have posted such jokes would ever participate in such inhumane acts, we find them funny for whatever reason. If you do not want to subject yourself to such ill humor, please do not enter this thread

You do your thing, we'll do ours. You're free to post whatever you might find funny or think that others might find funny. For whatever reasons someone might find a joke about insinuating the rape of a child funny, these things do happen in real life because there are some really sick people out there in the "free" world. However, if this ever were to happen to any children I knew, the law wouldn't have a chance to make judgment on the perpetrator.
