I have no soul

i'm not antri christian and even then it's still funny. Although I feel very guilty finding it funny.[/quote]

You only feel guilty because some people got hurt. If the guy attacked wielding a non-lethal object, say, an ice cream cone, nobody would have been hurt and it would have been a lot funnier.

This reminds me of a 1995 article about the lethal buses in New Delhi, India. Here it is:

I had to go to considerable effort to retrieve that article!

The only way that I tend to find humour in real-life violence and tragedy, is if there is a strong visual aspect to it, as well as a fair dose of plain old-fashioned stupidity. I usually tend to over-feel other people's pain, but I will crack up laughing at those books on the Darwin awards...

LOL

I don't think there's something wrong with you. You aren't laughing about the fact that people got murdered, you're laughing because you think it's ridiculous that somebody would use a sword instead of a knife or a machete. It's not something I hear about everyday, but I guess as long as it's sharp and can either be chopped or thrusted, then it's a weapon. A weapon is a weapon.

@Oddity: HAHAHAHA, that story of the man throwing his penis at the police was hilarious .

Oh this is SO terrible, but I cannot stop laughing about it.

I was reading jammie's message in the following thread about how you would escape from a burning building...

And I remembered that jammie has a stuffed toy lion that he keeps for comfort (hence his avatar picture).

I could not stop myself from imagining jammie escaping the fire by soaking his beloved stuffed lion in water and then throwing it at the fire, dampening the fire just long enough for him to quickly run through and out of the building, leaving wet lion inside to fight the fire by himself !

You have a soul why would you believe a tv ad or something like that? All of those ad or shows are just fiction. One has a soul because if you didn't have a soul you wouldn't be in that body your in now.

I think I'm likely to kick in with a black sense of humour when stressed by something. But its all about social appropriateness. So when a great world tragedy happens I'm the person who rapidly cycles through shock, distress, fear etc and then cracks a joke that brings on the group anger of those around me. Some jokes I have made about world events have really landed me in hot water. Two weeks later everyone is making inappropriate jokes about it. I guess I just feel the need to emotionally disconnect from a 'wrong' situation more quickly than others, that's a case of having too much soul not less. The mechanism is normal, the timing is out.

Work out what the safe response time is for black humour and stick to it. All people have inappropriate group responses they just don't act on them as much (they can react and predict). It really upsets people when you don't give them the adjustment time to deal with their own emotions about something...whatever the body language is that people communicate they're ready for some lightening up is I can't read it - so best not to share it. They don't remember the joke, they just remember you were a bit scarey and not quite right about something. Oh well, maybe close friends...but they'll remember it as the time you were odd.

Try to think about how others will feel/think/act in reaction to this and fake it until you make it. If you have to share it, share it one on one - no matter how inappropriate the comment most people respond to one to one confidences as a positive thing. If they don't then they actually don't like you and it wouldn't matter what you said.

laughing when someone gets killed, i do that all the time i don't know why i do that no empathy or something i guess. doesn't bother me but it bothers my parents.
