Why and what pleasure is gained in mocking others?

[andrejuan]

Sad people who are secretly insecure about themselves who feel that this elevates them?

 

Accurate, concise, and true.

 

I know people who do it all the time, they match that description perfectly.

I agree with the above post, sometimes they do it to make others laugh - bit weak really, take no notice as they havn't much strength of character

Sometimes it backfires!

Remember the audience,and one particular girl when Susan Boyle came on stage.

Not just the audience and one particular girl, but ALSO a certain "Simon Cowell" AND Piers Morgan too.....plus probably a million or two television muppets watching the show April 2009 as well. SHAME on the lot of them.

 

Those two words "Susan Boyle" are perhaps well remembered in relation to why we should "never" mock others out of fear and plain ignorance.

Didn't Piers Morgan say it was the Biggest surprise EVER, afterwards? and Amanda Holden say, The Biggest wake up call, EVER!...or words to that effect.?

 

Having a laugh, mock and banter with your mates and/or family is one thing. Picking on and mocking others...is clearly abuse and disrespectful....and the courageous and brave, such as well, "Susan Boyle", now have the smile on their faces....if she didn't have, all the time anyway. £11 million worth in her case.

 

Grow up, the lot of you'z.

It's good to pick on people isn't it? Our current government is encouraging such actions.

 

Anyone got any idea as to why certain people on the Forum think it's necessary to turn everything into a left-wing rant? What pleasure is gained from this?
