Got more political than I intended, not what I'm here for.

And hey, that's not most of us, right, so it's perfectly safe to laugh at them.


I don't think it's ok to laugh at any "them" in an intentionally mean or oppressive way. But I do think it's ok to sometimes laugh at every "them", including me and any group/category I may be considered part of, when it's not hateful in nature. I think context matters... only, in today's world, context doesn't matter. Everything is taken to it's most extreme, angry, offensive, oppressive level and then hammered even if the original context was nowhere near that in nature. Why have we decided the ability to reason and view context is no longer necessary? That it's fine to just take everything at it's worst and be angry and offended over it?
