Ever wonder why many people feel the need or just like to make fun of other people? Like what is their reason for doing it. Life is tough so why would we make it tougher for some by making fun of them. And yes, it even happens on here in many of the blogs written.
We have a choice in life. We can either be nice to people, indifferent to people or mean to people. If you choose to make fun of people that is mean(unless of course it is done as a joke and in good fun and the person being made fun of also laughs at it). My guess is that being mean to people by making fun of them accompolishes several tasks for that person who is being mean. One, the person making fun feels like they are better then the person they are making fun of. Two, they want to make the person feel bad by making fun of them. And another reason would be that the one making fun wants everyone else to have a bad perspective of that person as well.
It is so sad that when we have a choice of being nice or mean to people many of us choose to be mean. Gaining joy at anothers expense. Comedians are pros at this, however I wonder if they ever think about how the person they are making fun of is feeling when hearing that? Or do they even care how that person feels? Is it funny to hear other people get put down or made fun of? Not to me it isn't. Just think how much nicer the world would be if people were just nice to one another. I do know this, when I see someone making fun of someone else, I feel sorry for both of them. Just think, if a person has to make fun of others to make themself feel good, imagine what that says about that person. Being mean is never the answer and I am sure that people who make fun of others would hate it if they were they one being made fun of. The saying goes, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Cookie - I have to admit I got a good laugh at your comment. First off, I have never made fun of Barack Obama. Yes, I have written blogs about him where I point out my disagreements with him. I have also written blogs as to why I don't think he would be a good president. But I bet you can't find me making fun of him in my blogs.
So I am not sure what lesson I am suppose to learn here. I am also not sure what mistakes that you have claimed that I have made. Are you trying to tell me that saying why I am not for Barack Obama as president is the same as making fun of him? I am sorry but I don't understand your logic at all. I do notice that your last blog is about making fun of John McCain and the fact that he blinks a lot. So isn't it ironic that you are the first one to comment on my blog about making fun of other people. Then you accuse me of the samething you are doing. That is too bad.

Reading this blog, I can see why you don't participate in the forums. The behavior of your Republican compatriots must be very disappointing.

Hey the politicians made fun of each other last night at the dinner and it was so funny and they looked like they had a good time. It was all in jest with some truth behind it. Sometimes it's good to break the seriousness of all the stress. I espceially liked the part where Obama said he'd been hanging around with some downright bad characters and went on to list who they were and said it was when he joined the Senate lol. tc Lost

kjac - I am not a republican but your point is well taken. Joseph Lieberman was my choice for president and I am an independent. Infact my dream ticket would be Lieberman/Palin. A non partisan senator and a governor who isn't so Washington influenced. I know what goes on in the forums and I wish it didn't. That is one of the reasons I don't go in there. It is better to get your point across being nice rather then being mean.
I have noticed that this has turned into a politcal thing, but my intentions were not political. I guess I am to blame for that since I write so many political blogs. I was trying to blog about all reasons why people make fun of others. If people want to bring up the political aspects of this that is fine too. Debate is good.

Disagreeing with someone as to their factualness if you respond with facts that are provable is not making fun of them unless after you present facts that are provable you add a comment that should have not been added.

some do not look at the facts, their minds are already made up and so they do not even grasp the point presented...take for instance this blog...there is nothing political about it although the comments by some have went right for the controversy of the election solely based on previous writings, and in that they got it wrong, again...seems being educated depends on where the education comes from...and on the dinner "Roast", it was the first time I saw an enjoyably funny evening thus far

Wow this really hit home. I read it twice to be sure I got the point. I am usually the one getting picked on. I am the the most graceful person, I can trip over air. I fall up steps, always have, and where I have very bad shoulder problems sometimes my posture is not the greatest, then there is my weight. My sister always has to point out my short commings(sp) She is a real bitch, but if I turn it around on her she then goes on the attack and really gets nasty about it, but I can't fight back, I simply cannot make someone feel that badly about themselves. I know that she only does this because she knows I am insecure, and this makes her feel so superior.
