I don't know how you guys can joke about this sort of thing really, if they were your kids surely you wouldn't be joking about it?

Tragedy is when I cut my finger, comedy is when you fall down an open sewer and die.

But it hasn't happened to our kids, so we are joking about it.

It's almost as if the fact that it's not your kids gives you some sort of emotional distance from the situation

It's still wrong and sick to joke about it.

How about, if we didn't laugh we'd cry.

Suit you?

I never said anything about crying, it just shouldn't be joked about.

Congratulations on completely missing the point of a wonderful quote

can you come up with a single reason why not? why does making a joke about a current situation change the world for the worse?

does it desensitise us, probably, to a certain extent you need that in life or you'd be upset about everything all the time.

does making a joke change what happened, or changed what will happen to her? no.

About the only reason we shouldnt' joke about it is chaos theory, theres a chance the exhaling fast during laughter could cause a hurricane on the other side of the world, but i'm willing to take the risk.

Nooo..EVERYTHING should be joked about, with the small caveat that you don't cause direct/deliberate offense to somebody (know your audience in other words).
