This here is an educational post about one of my favorite things: schadenfreude.

It's German, it means 'pleasure taken from someone else's misfortune'. Particularly people I don't like. So yeah, maybe it makes me mean and a bad person - do I really look like I care?

Hell, there's even a song.So if I laugh at you when something bad happens, now

So, is there a limit to your laughter, or do you pretty much chortle even when guts are streaming all over the floor?

[more_bendy]

I stop laughing when it starts getting gross.

[italk2walls]

S'cool then. All comedy is pretty much someone else's tragedy. Laughing at someone when their guts are hanging out, though, that wouldn't be righteous.

[more_bendy]

That would also be really gross and drippy. I'd probably even feel kind of bad for them, unless they deserved it.

They made a song about a word? ...That's kinda stupid.

[more_bendy]

It's a good song.

What would you make a song about?

[areyouscaredyet]

I dunno. Something cool like monster trucks, maybe.

[more_bendy]

Monster trucks, seriously? And here I thought you were kind of cool.

That is really mean! ... But... kind of funny, too.

[more_bendy]

Hey, everyone does it. So what if it's a little mean?

[fck_thrmodynmcs]

...I get the nagging feeling that the argument is somehow flawed. OH WELL, I can't think of how, so I guess it's okay!

[more_bendy]

That's right! It's totally okay.
