Maybe we're just blind; too blind to see the tragedy behind it. ^_^ Maybe we're ignorant. Maybe we're sadistic, mean, could be masochistic although only silly-billies are, maybe we're cruel.
I love that excerpt. xD Which book is it from?
Edit: Stranger In A Strange Land?

A person I know came up to me and said "omg my dog caught on fire and started burning and died!!" And I know that's terrible, absolutely terrible, but I nearly burst out in laughter. I managed to hide it quite well, I believe. I think about poor children in Africa in situations like that. "There's children dying in Africa every minute, poor poor children. don't laugh. think of the children."
Don't you guys watch Star Trek Voyager? It's all about defusing tension. There's also nervous laughter.
What I find more amusing is that I'm pretty sure people are more likely to laugh while saying "That's just not funny!" than when saying "Funny, that."
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

People laugh at things that are unexpected. The more unexpected, the funnier it is .

It's called Gallow's laughter. it's a psychological barrier from deppression. (Something like that anyway....)
Psychopathic tendencies, zero guilt.
Natural disasters are the height of comedy.
There is humour to be found in most situations, however tragic they are.
there was a picture here
If you laugh people laugh with you. If you cry people laugh at you.
And if someone is sad i geuss its nice to see happy faces around you
usually the minor stuff involving embarressment and stuff can be hillarious.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Because we're idiots.
Laughing at others misfortunes make us forget abou8t our own.
Owen made this sig. R.I.P.
It's better than having a total breakdown. Human's as a whole are just a bit self-obsessed and we tend to eventually forget the bad stuff anyway, unless it directly affects us.
Therefore, it's easier for us to laugh.
