I'm sorry but this is funny. A humor question.

Do you ever find yourself almost apologizing for something you find funny these days because of censorship and the fact that we have lost our ability to really laugh at ourselves.
For me not too much. I'm getting used to the fact that we're not supposed to laugh at certain things anymore and that is just someone else's loss. I'd never laugh at disabled people but everything else I can pretty much see the humor. :giggle:

How about you Do you laugh less? Why? Let's share our reasons.

Don't drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill some. (Not amusing to the mother of a victim of a drunk driver.}
 
Warner Bros. "Looney Tunes"back in the 40's/50's had people laughing at characters like Elmer Fudd with his speech impediment, Porky Pig who stuttered badly and Sylvester the Cat who lisped uncontrollably.

I enjoyed those cartoons very much. Mel Blanc who did the voices was a genius. I never felt I was laughing at the WAY they spoke but rather at the funny things they did in the cartoons.
 
Any comedian will tell you that comedy has to be true. So, as long as there's truth in the joke, there nothing you can't make fun of. Ah, dead baby jokes:unsure: As if you never told a Helen Keller joke.
During a holiday dinner I argued against the law that requires car-seats for infants.

When I said "I mean, it's not like you saw thousands of dead babies all over the roads until someone said 'There ought to be a law'," everyone chuckled except my oldest son's wife. She went into the bathroom to cry.

I went in and apologized, and we hugged and all that, and I haven't used sarcasm around her since.
