have too many living people actually forgotten, lost or flat out killed their senses of humor?

Question

i recently asked a question regarding "butterflies" and received some disheartening responses. a majority felt superior-which you are NOT-and there were 2-3 that actually understood my line of questioning. have we really lost the ability to smile for a change? these "snobs" who take their lives too seriously are the ones who are screwing up the world i believe and live in! they need to stay home or move to PLUTO!

Answer 1

yes i know what you mean

some people definately need a sense of humour transplant

lol

Answer 2

I believe that the idea of "politically correct" killed the world's sense of humor because if you tell a joke, I gaurentee it, if you really think hard enough, you can find something offensive in even of the most G-rated jokes on the plantet that somebody will be offended by.
Word of advice though... I wouldn't move to pluto. It's to far from the sun, so you'd freeze, and there's no water, so you'd get dehydrated. Try mars, supposedly there's water, and it's close enough to the sun so you can stay warm. Oh, and don't move to Jupiter either. That planet's covered in toxic gases, plus there's the risk of falling into that big red spot thing. But if you do decide to move to space, tell us what ice skating on the rings of saturn is like!

Not just on here its in real life too, walk down any street or through any shopping centre and everybody has a miserable face. I think thats why people drink so much these days, the only time they can relax and raise a smile is once intoxicated. But you are right people on here seem particularly miserable and paranoid. Lighten up man!!

Answer 4

Well there are some dour folks go through life misey guts, But my rule is If I can make at least 1 person smile or even lol then my day ain't been wasted!! Mirth is a gift use it well and you will always smile. I was always told laughter is the best medicine.

Answer 5

Answer 6

With all due respect, sir, I find your particular viewpoint on the purpose of this website to be distorted and juvenile. I also wish to inform you that the human race is, in fact, incapable of travelling to pluto, as is demonstrated by the theory of...... no just kidding dude!!! Chill out everyone!!!! Hav sum fun!!!

Answer 7

Be carefull what you say my friend.
I asked a similar question a wile back and some one took offence and i ended up loosing 10 points.
As to your question. yes i do believe some of our fellow homosapians have lost the ability to have a good chuckle.

Answer 8

You're right, too many people have forgotten what humour is. It would kill them to smile or laugh. Sad times we live in when it has come to that.

Answer 9

A sense of humour is against the rules on Yahoo Q&A.

Answer 10

I agree! Too many take life far too seriously. Life is for living but you will never get out of it alive, so just enjoy it while your here.

Answer 11

Not everyone enjoys the same kind of humor but most of the answers seemed tongue-in-cheek to me.


P.S. I really liked the expression "Drunken pieces of paper". Good turn of phrase.
