What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?

America. We stand true to our country. Enough of the racism and that. I don't agree with foreigners taking office

Joke should be in right place and situation. You cannot joke in a serious matter like life and death.

Death or harming someone are my responses.

A lot of things should not be made jokes about but people are also too sensitive and snowflakes these days.  I would have to say a specific incident but people make jokes about death in general a lot and it is not a huge deal.

Death is not a joke.

Death is not a joke but there have been jokes made at work about co-workers getting hurt or killed and it is a joke. No one is serious.  If you are talking about a joke being made where someone has actually gotten hurt then that is different.

I don't take things so seriously.  If it offends you, remember words don't hurt. so why be offended.

The tongue as well as the heart can be very treacherous.

Actually words do hurt. Kids have killed themselves over bullying.

For race things I get worked up on it like crazy same thing if things are said about my family joke or not you dont say it.

A person with a learning disability. Especially in school. Kids can be so mean..

There are so many topics that shouldn't be joked about.  I guess it comes down to your audience, the person you are telling the joke too.  If you know what would set them off then you just don't use those as a topic.  If you look at stand up comics they tend to joke about themselves or their family.  They also tend to objectify their jokes rather than single any one thing out in particular.

Suicide, death, harming someone or animals, any kind of abuse, religion.....the list could get really big.
Jokes are supposed to be funny, but often people say mean things and then justify their "joke" by saying, "I was just kidding!"   however, the hurt has already been done.

Of course there are, many.......'

But then, we have social morons that will joke about anything.

Pranks, being pregnant and you're not.

Jokes about disabilities, rape, or religion goes too far for me.
