05/14/2008 |  I learned a lesson the hard way when I was a small child. Back in the fifties and sixties there was a small yellow Schoolbus run by the Harvey Company. They would go by and pick up all the Special Education kids at home and drop them off at school and then at the end of the day they would drop them off at home. Well, like every other kid I made fun of the special kids. We called them Harveys or retardos, or any other name we could think of. Kidscould be cruel.
In the middle of second grade it turned out I had a hearing problem. It runs in the family. Since the school had no deaf or hearing impaired program, I was pulled out of my school and bused to another district. Guess which bus I had to ride in? Yup, the yellow Harvey bus. I had to endure the same taunting and teasing that I once did. On top of that I had to wear a large hearing aid box about the size of a shoebox, with various dials on it and large earphones about the same size as ear protectors. It was humbling experience. This went on for three years. I learned the hard way to never laugh at another persons misfortune. As the saying goes, there but for the grace of God go I. Truer words were never said.

05/14/2008 | 95 percent of the time I would never laugh at someone when they are going through a hard time. I know it could be me. Maybe only the other 5 percent the ones who have always made it their pleasure to laugh and make fun of others when they are down, the bullies who made other people's life miserable. I would feel just a little but of glimmer of Ha!what goes around comes around how do YOU feel now? you should not kick someone when they are down.

01/21/2008 | There is something seriously wrong with people who actually get a kick out of others' misfortunes. A rich person, for example, may scorn a person who is poor and has very little to show in life. That rich person, before he knows it, might find himself to be poor one day, and definitely wouldn't think the situation was so funny. I'm not one who wishes anything bad on anyone -- but hey, right is right and wrong is wrong!

04/10/2005 | What you are doing is gloating when your enemy falls, which Jesus commands us not to do. Some people feel so bad about themselves that they laugh at the fact that someone elses plans didn't work out. This is the oppositie of what we should be doing. It is also stupid if people laugh at someone getting hurt or someone tripping over or smacking into a wall. There is nothing funny about this. People who laugh at that type of stuff are people who don't think about the consequences of particular actions. They don't think that maybe someone could have been hurt.

11/09/2004 | Its interesting that this should be brought up, because this is what America's Funniest Home Videos is based around. A lot of the videos on there are funny, but some where serious injury could occur aren't funny at all.

06/24/2004 | I remember when someone fell in the lunchroom. I must have been the only one who didn't laugh.
