Often conservatives trying to make light of death turn them off.
Who said I was a conservative?
Rather, I'd argue that Libtards never had a sense of humor to start with. Humor is in short supply on the left, I know because I spent many years there.
As one of those whom you think is a "libtard"... I have an excuse for a lack of humor. I have Asperger's syndrome, and I don't get much that is humorous unless it is really good. It almost has to be slapstick or screwball comedy for me to like it.
Death isn't funny unless someone does something creatively stupid to get himself killed.
I nominated this for a Darwin Award: A 58-year-old man in Detroit, Michigan (OK, he is old enough to know better than what he is about to do) was driving on the Fisher Freeway and onto an interchange when he lost control of his car and was thrown out of the car through the open sunroof and killed on impact. He was watching something on a hand-held device while trying to steer the car. Obviously he didn't have a seat belt on.
Stop there. If he were watching a Billy Graham crusade it would simply be tragic. If he were watching a presentation for a meeting with a customer, then likewise. If it were a family video it would be touching as well as tragic.
No... it was pornography, probably the most distracting material possible. But I would bet that he had his hand on a stick-shift even if his car had an automatic transmission (not mentioned in the news report was whether the car had an automatic transmission.
...as for people on the Left lacking a sense of humor, that is how it is with Stalinists, Maoists, and Trotskyites. Extremists are often so unrighteous that they just don't get humor, which also applies to fascists, Nazis, and Ku Kluxists. It is not that one is offended with something nasty such as handicap jokes or derogatory jokes about ethnic groups.
It is possible to make a clean joke about religion. For example, why does the Red Cross have so many blood drives in Catholic churches but not in Jewish temples?
Because it is much easier to give blood when you see Jesus on a cross while you give blood!
Oh, it is amazing -- the sum of the cubes of the three numbers associated with the most primitive Pythagorean triad (3/4/5) themselves add to a perfect cube, that is the cube of 6...? Amazing, but not very useful.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
