And this helps the situation? I am not justfying anything, it's you who are assuming what I found funny. Three people have now acknowledged and understand what I meant, yet you seem to be on some crusade about what you think is right and wrong, how appalling it is and how people should apologize if they were you. All good and well I guess, but the problem is you horribly misinterpreted the comment to begin with then made and assumption based on what you thought I meant. Like I said, I won't apologize if someone has trouble understanding me, especially if they take a wrong assumption and run with it. What I can do is post once or twice to clarify what I meant (which I have done) but after that it's out of my hands, if people refuse to let go of their judgements I can't do anything more.

Understand also, that if it was a case of a "warped sense of humor" I wouldn't try justify that to anyone anyways... now that's just me personally, but I would also have the wisdom to not expect that it be entertained by others. It isn't the case here though of course, but I am simply clarifying for you if it were like you suggested.

I think Bung put it very eloquently, let's chill a minute and get some perspective eh?

Did you even post this knowing you shouldn't?
If you know you shouldn't do something, you know why it's screwy to do it and so simply shouldn't do it. Your own words are what condemn you, not mine.

Again, you've made up your own mind. It couldn't be the fact that I chuckled initially then sobered quickly after reading the consequences suffered by those people? That because of this I felt a sense of remorse after discovering the fact that people were injured/hurt, and saw it for what it was, going as far as taking responsibility by admitting to it in that post?

That's all I can do to help you understand that which you seem unable, which is more than I do for most. If you can't accept that then it's only you who is doing the condemning.

Then why not say so earlier? Would've made all the diff.
I prefer straight talk that doesn't need any line reading.
If that's how it is, so be it, but a few pages earlier would have saved us both some time wasted.

Cheers

But I thought I did here.

Well I can't speak for anyone else but I didn't know anyone was hurt until I read further into it and saw that seizures were a result. I initially chuckled at the concept which was used, thinking to myself "my god what will they think of next?" and then I read further. Despite popular belief, I wasn't cackling maniacally as I read on. Nothing else was mentioned to indicate laughing at anyones expense, but for some odd reason it seems that we have decided there was.
Like I said, a few people accepted that, but you didn't. In fact, you didn't seem to notice my comment until I posted that because you ignored it and went straight to Lav's comment. Thus my bewilderment as to you getting bent out of shape later rather than sooner, despite the fact that I had further clarified.

Nope.

Sorry, I just got this image in my head of a balloon letting our air and flying around.

Oh, and for a short period in my life, I had to ride around in a wheelchair and hit a patch of ice on a ramp once, I pissed myself afterwards, but woo, it was fun stuff

Now that I may rank among the condemned, this is taking it a bit far guys. Yes, people have warped senses of humor, human beings laugh at things they shouldn't. My mother's side of the family got a quirk from my grandmother, we all find physical pain funny (not intentionally of course).

People shouldn't laugh at other people's misfortune, but it happens. We misread people's explanations, we've gone on rants, let's just settle for the fact that the people that didn't chuckle can feel good that they didn't and the people that did feel bad for the fact that they did.

Are these all funny? What kind of sick person finds using a disabled persons illness to harm them? It's monstrously sick.
I find these pretty funny just thinking about them. I mean if I saw a comedy movie that had those things, I would definitely laugh. But obviously in reality those acts are extremely dangerous. But still I can't help but chuckle at the last one about the blind mans guide dog.

Hmmm... so if I ever have the pleasure of meeting some of you who find this funny and you happen to require crutches or a wheelchair for mobility at that time remind me to knock you off of them then run off with them while laughing maniacally.
