[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You all don't see the difference in ragging on religions and making fun of religions in general, and the f-ing Holocaust?? There's a difference. "Jew jokes" and "Jesus jokes" can still be funny, but there is absolutely nothing funny about the Holocaust. There just isn't. OK, yes, I'm a Debbie downer, but this is insane that it has to be said at all. [/quote]

You cannot control others’ sense of humor. If they think it’s funny, scolding them is not going to stop them from finding it amusing.[/quote]

My mom always says “you either laugh or you cry”. I choose to laugh.

Someone with relatives who survived the Holocaust. [/quote]

Uh, you get that some people have relatives who DIDN’T survive, who may feel differently?[/quote]

So because of that no one can tell the jokes?  Even if some find them funny?  [/quote]

There are different kinds of humor. Jokes about the Holocaust or some other very serious event aren't haha funny jokes, they are usually examples of very dry, dark wit. You have to be a dry wit person with a twisted sense of humor to get them. They definitely are not for everyone. People who work in prisons or psych wards also often have similar very dark, dry wit jokes that [b]you only tell to other people who will get it.[/b] [/quote]

So who "gets" Holocaust jokes? Just curious. [/quote]

The Ricky Gervais of the world. Other people with dark, witty, dry senses of humor. It is the same with jokes about 9/11 or anything that is horrific. It isn't the event that is funny, it is the wittiness of the joke and the ability of the joke teller to make it comedic.[/quote]
