Is society getting more and more sensitive?

[Tetris]

I feel as if its vice versa. The older generation is overly sensitive to jokes and such.

For example, I did a performance in front of my entire school and I pelvic thrusted to a beat, and the vice principle had to pull me aside and talk to me.

1. when you joke about something you are obviously not taking it seriously. that's common knowledge and you should know that by now

And? It's obvious it didn't affect them, so they don't take it seriously. 12 years is a long time to many people. Besides how old were you at the time this happened? 3? I'm not sure that can count to you actually being affected, because 3 is too young for you to care about anything or be realizing of the world around you. Maybe it affected your parents, but you personally no, because when you finally fully realized what had happened, you were probably several years late.

oh come on the joke is in plane sight

i'm here all night

you used the wrong "plain."

[Night Fox]

not only that, but it was cowardly. it's also cowardly to make fun of those attacks behind a computer screen anonymously. i say night fox tells his jokes about 9/11 to his school? or if he wants it more hilarious he should tell it to m---n gilby, or mrs gilby, whose father and husband died in the attack. i used to go to school with m---n, until he moved because they didn't have any money because he lost his father.

jfc when did I tell any jokes about what happened dude? huh??????? bc I sure as forget don't remember

3 is old enough to remember and have emotions dummy

It's not called sensitive when someone gets pissed when you're making fun of death

Making a joke about a tragedy doesn't mean they're insulting everyone involved or saying it wasn't a tragedy, nor does it always mean they're making fun of death.

Those who take all dark humor personally and pick a fight are creating conflict for the sole purpose of creating conflict. On that note, dark humor can still be tasteless or offensive. It all relies on intent and execution.

Although it's unfair to say you can't joke about anything bad that happened just because it MIGHT make somebody offended. There's always going to be somebody that's offended by a joke. That doesn't make a joke offensive.

Not in most people.

I know how terrible the date was, but I don't gloom over it.

stuff happens. people move on. as is the world.

I'm in Manhattan, and I could see the plane going down the street before it hit. I was only 3 at the time, and my dad was taking me and my twin brother to our first day of pre-school. I remember a lot of things vividly. My dad really did suffer a lot from 9/11, and because he had to go outside a lot for regular provisions and essential things even though for 2 weeks there was a power outage, he got cancer in 2011 and recovered thankfully. The poor air quality destroyed many people. My next door neighbors lost a son from cancer. To even compare the Holocaust to something like Benghazi or 9/11 is just unthinkable.
