Yes, what idiots indeed these democrats, pro-euthanasia, and homosexual sodomizing people are, no? An aspect of humor that linguistic analysis in discourse fails to convincingly explain, is how ambiguity/jokes can lower inhibitions to the extent that people think anything goes (is funny, weird, ambiguous etc). A joke necessitates somehow the idiot to follow who, after the statement is made, then takes the carefully crafted sense of liberation/permission that a well-contextualized utterance produces, and takes things too far by projecting their own biases to have similar relational impact. The sad thing is that truth makes the idiot correct, and the original joker becomes the idiot's idiot. Like the person with the class to pay for free cocktails at some party/wedding must invite the fools unwittingly who will not be able to hold their liquor, even though they seem civilized on most days at the office. And yes, in principle anything can be made funny, if there weren't the detail of circumstance of the rest of multiverse(s) which bars most from say... laughing with apparent psychopaths who take pleasure in suffering of others, for example when we witness them torturing/hurting others who have not harmed others themselves, right? Therefore this humor is often perceived by snobs to be "not that funny". I also disagree with the statement somewhere that explanations or analysis of humor can't be funny themselves. The question is less "anything goes?" and closer to "how much humor and foolishness that follows can people in some context stomach before the party is spoiled by the fact that not only will those same people feel liberated by a good joke/fun... but the Nazi will be emboldened by humor as well?" I'm never sure, which is why I never joke. PGC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
