I've been thinking about this ever since I heard that Jaysay bought the farm ... he liked that; thought it was funny, although I thought "popped his clogs" was more expressive. Our way of life, and the world we were born into, is on the way out, death by death. In that world we knew what was right, and what was wrong ... and that we had THE choice, free will ... maybe not God's best idea, given that sinning is so often so goddam attractive.
I often express opinions which may be taken as "Islamaphobic". But it isn't that. Certain things I recognize as wrong: public beheadings, shooting young girls in the head 'cause they wanna go to school, slaughtering innocents who don't conform to their "brand" of Islam, etc. ... I think you get it. This gut feeling for what is the right thing is being replaced by pc'ism and the nanny state.
Anyway, to get back on topic, finding someone's disorder, whatever it is, "funny", is just plain wrong.
