There is a great
difference between comedy and stupidity! Comedy is funny while stupidity
isn’t. Do you laugh at stupidity as you do with comedy?
Many
producers of shows seemed to have overlooked this fundament. Probably,
they lack ideas and have little inspiration after a couple of rounds. Do
you laugh just because everybody else is laughing? I know laughter like
yawning can be contagious but do you? Even dubbed prerecorded laughter
as well?
In certain countries too, there is a gross lack of
creativity and producers often induce “transvestites” characters to make
its audience laugh. Adorning feminine attire and acting “sissy” is
altogether mocking and belittling them. Strangely, this often works in
certain countries – so that gives us a glimpse of people’s minds.
Therefore,
should we laugh at transvestites or should we sympathize with them? I
for that matter, don’t laugh at them but in fact sympathize with them.
There
is nothing wrong with them in my opinion as they are created that way.
Do remember that there are exceptions to rules and even gravity has been
defied. Humanity do nott consist of only men and women. God does
manifest it creations imperfectly as if to remind us that we exist in an
imperfect world.
At least most of us are confident with our
sexuality. They mostly find difficulty in being accepted except in
“exceptional” circumstances.
Gays make their own sexual choices
and often it takes a lot of guts doing so. That’s their business! For
that they should not be discriminated. This world is full of
“exceptions” and also other forms of imperfections. Do you make fun of
those who are born handicap – as perhaps blind – all because they are
different from you? Or laugh at a fat man just because he is obese?
After all you aren’t! Then again, do you laugh at a “black” man just
because he is darker than you? And do you laugh at midgets and dwarfs?
The squint-eyed? Buck-tooth?
We ought to accept people as they
are, understand their weaknesses and personal setbacks and not laugh at
others simply because we feel ourselves to be superior. How can you be
superior if you can’t look beyond these things and other trivialities?
As
a matter of fact, God seems to most of the time compensate gays and
transvestites with immense talent and creativity. I guess I don’t have
to name any as they are effortlessly identifiable.
Gays want to
marry but society won’t let them. Politicians politicize on this issue.
Why bother? My suggestion is that they could draw up special contracts
to embody issues such as finances, property etc. Family (with kids) may
be elusive though but again why bother? I am sure there are a lot of
organizations involved with childcare that requires assistance from
volunteers.
Will you be arrested if you hold a gay wedding
ceremony? Well, maybe not – since it could be deemed or exhorted as a
private “party”. It’s the legal issues that become contentious! Mind you
we are living in 2005 where Armstrong walked on the moon some 35 years
ago! But a broad spectrum of humanity is still downright rudimentary and
immature!
But it’s OK to have a purple hairdo and adorn ludicrous
clothes rendering even circus clowns as underdressed! It’s OK to tattoo
your entire face if you want to. You can even pierce your entire face
and bodies – genitals included. It’s OK to get stone drunk on cheap
alcohol but they would throw you in jail for “toking”. You may get
jailed for 2 years for shoplifting 2 bars of chocolates but perhaps only
4 years for embezzling millions or even billions of dollars. So what
does all these tell you? Well, if it’s ok for “them” then it’s ok!
