*Someone makes Ebola joke* *Everybody laughs* *Someone makes AIDS joke* *Everybody laughs* *Someone makes Cancer joke* *Come on man, people die of Cancer* - Our Stupid Society
Sorry I don't mean to offend anyone by making this post or directly point it towards someone but the above post reminded me of this but this is what is happening in our societies nowadays.
It truly sickens me when the students at my school make jokes about Ebola and AIDS. Don't they understand just what Ebola is and that both can kill you and both are horrible. Then they joke about some other disease, such as cancer, like you mentioned and don't even laugh because cancer can kill you. I don't think people really give AIDS or Ebola, especially, the respect and caution - maybe even fear - these diseases deserve. Just because Ebola hasn't reached Australia yet (I don't think) doesn't give people a right to crack jokes about people dying from it.
In this way, society sickens me... (Not meant to offend people)
