Yes GeorgeW.Bush was almost killed by a pretzel, I wish I had that picture.
Is death something to joke about? The Commander in Chief of your country may have died. Not a joke.
The death of GeorgeW.Bush is obviously something RandomNess feels like joking about. Particularyly, RandomNess seems likely to prefer GeorgeW.Bush dead rather then alive, and perhaps suffering quite a bit before finally dieing. Why are you surprised? The HumanAnimal is not a nice thing. And an open forum like this will certainly have people that drop by and post just how much they want to see death, destruction, and harm inflicted on other HumanAnimals from time to time. Heck, from time to time, we will want to inflict or at least see such inflicted on others. Such is life. ---StarPilot
So? We all have our dark, sadistic sides. But some may complain about the War, some may not like any of his actions as president, but it isn't correct to joke about things like that.
It isn't correct for you, but it is correct for others. Remember, its consensus that determines correctness or not in any society. So far, that's a one versus one on the matter.
Second, I don't think he is joking.
Third, I'm going to point out that many people do joke about it. From professional entertainers, to the president and his family. ---StarPilot
Would you joke if your mother, or close relative was choking on a pretzel? I think not. Yes, we do have the choice of what is correct. That is what makes us WE.
WE are WE because we are humans, participating in the HumanCollective.
And I would not joke about my mother choking on a pretzel while she was choking. But I'd darn well joke about it later, so long as she survived it.
Are you sure your disagreement with the joke is about the joke, or about RandomNess's dislike of the president?

No, the joke would be funny in a blunt sort of way if you look at it Neutrally. I figure it's more probably the dislike of the president, yeah. While he is entitled to his opinion,.... Well, I can't add on to that.
If one person deing is funny, killing an entire culture must be hellarias, (see Star Trek joke in ColdWorld)
What is funny? something very terrible that turns out okay is usually funny, it is only tragic if it turns out badly.
Like I said, if you look at it from a neutral point of view, yes some may consider it funny. And it would be if RandomNess's hatred of the President of the United States was not so apparent. --KenSchry
