Im in an assload of trouble

Good point. I don't really get it either. Honestly, I think people need to just deal with any of the shit they get, unless is is completely harmful, i.e. you are denied a job because of your race. It's only words. If someone is going to say something idiotic that offends you just ignore it, because the chances are they didn't know it was going to offend you, or they are a douchebag who won't get anywhere in life. Just my opinion.
 
yo yo, just explain this to her:

"The common denominator of all jokes is a path of expectation that is

diverted by an unexpected twist necessitating a complete

reinterpretation of all the previous facts -- the

punch-line...Reinterpretation alone is insufficient. The new model

must be inconsequential. For example, a portly gentleman walking

toward his car slips on a banana peel and falls. If he breaks his head

and blood spills out, obviously you are not going to laugh. You are

going to rush to the telephone and call an ambulance. But if he simply

wipes off the goo from his face, looks around him, and then gets up,

you start laughing. The reason is, I suggest, because now you know

it's inconsequential, no real harm has been done. I would argue that

laughter is nature's way of signaling that "it's a false alarm." Why

is this useful from an evolutionary standpoint? I suggest that the

rhythmic staccato sound of laughter evolved to inform our kin who share

our genes; don't waste your precious resources on this situation; it's

a false alarm. Laughter is nature's OK signal."

VS Ramachandran wrote this. he is one of the most highly respected psychiatrists/neurologists in the medical world. In essence, we laugh as a reaction to a twist. Something unexpected happens, but we see it as harmless, so we laugh. you didnt expect to see all those words. it surprised you. you realized it was inconsequential. therefore you laughed.

give it a try. good luck
 
If we continue to desensitize America we're gonna be fucked. Political correctness is wearing a whole in society and it's shitty. I'm not saying to drop N-bombs whenever you feel like it or ever for that matter. I just think that people shouldn't have to worry about being politically correct when they state a point.
 
Word. i should be able to swear when i'm making a point. It's just words, and fuck is a useful word that i'm going to use in everyday conversation anyways. if i can't swear during a speech, everyone who knows me knows it's not true to my nature.
 
yea well i wanna say your an asshole and all that but i know u know that already.

heres what i have to say.

i guess it would be a funny prank to think about it. but now when you look back you feel like an asshole because of so many ppl you hurt. so really i think you should say sorry to them. and well ur saying it tell them why ur laughing about it cuz ur nervous.

and i think u really did learn u lesson on it. so + vibes
 
haha, one time in drivers ed class in one of the videos there was a semi truck being t boned by a train, and my friend and I couldnt stop laughing....absolutely hilarious....no one else found it funny
 
show them your NS post, im sure they'll know your serious then.
maybe she'll get hooked on NS and become your new best friend
 
this is kind of like in my senior year of high school when we had this first period class that our whole senior class was in, and its in an auditorium and senior year i would always show up really late, so i walked in late and my teacher starts her speech by saying something like "I know some of you think smoking pot is not a serious thing, but it is marijuana is a gateway drug and its very bad" I was extremely high this day so i busted out laughing, suprisingly noone else did though, and it was really loud and my teacher definitely heard me, after the talk i realized why noone else had laughed, it was because the teachers brother had drowned somehow after smoking PCP laced marijuana, needless to say I felt like an asshole
 
my friend is the same way. she has never said it.

on an unrelated note, her great uncle is Kofi Annan.
 
hahaha I do that but not when im nervous, sometimes in my head il be like " oh fuck this would be such a bad time to laugh" one time my dad was bitching at me super hard for some reason I forgot, and he was super pissed.... at one point the thought came into my head and I burst out into laughter, after that I couldnt stop laughing, every word he said I laughed harder. this got him madder which made me laugh even harder because of how funny the whole situation was, which made him more pissed.... he wasnt very happy that day
 
that would be true if racism was just words but its not. racism gets physical in a terrible way as well. things escalate so the best way to not let it escalate is to call it out at the verbal level.
nobody is separating the world into the group of "people" and "anti-racism" and saying people have to reach "their" level of anti-racism. smart people and those being affected are just calling out the terrible attitudes some have towards other races. they're actually bringing others down from a level in the wrong direction.
 
Yeah man don't stress it if it really is a laughing problem. My ex-girlfriend had that problem. She laughed at her grandpas funeral. Dont sweat it dude.
 
like a "nicker" or a "cragger?" (jokes, jokes- i just like wordpuns, these were too good to pass up.)

and wasn't this on south park, the lemmiwinks epsiode (the death camp of tolerance is the real name i think) where they had to go to the tolerance center or whatever and they rode the tunnel of racist phrases?

they all learned new words to call cartman, who just laughed and asked to ride the tunnel again? then they got sent to a tolerance concentration camp where they were forced to fingerpaint diversity and tolerance?

show this episode to your principal, it should clear it all up.
