Philosophy of mockery?

[McMock]

If you mock, you can't be mocked.

What the hell is wrong about taking things seriously? I'm okay with a bit ok mocking when the topic is stupid or unimportant, but to mock a topic that is interesting to talk about, that is a complete waste.

I don't understand it. Well, I do understand it. Like I said above, if you mock, you're on the right side. But I don't do it.

You can tell that people are actively looking for things to make fun of in other peoples posts. How is that fair, and most importantly, how the hell does that make for good conversation?

I know what I prefer to read. It's not yet another dumb joke. It's a serious post. And that doesn't mean the subject is serious, but that the person tries hard to make himself understood.

Basically, I like it when people aren't afraid to say something.

As for what the world would be like without mocking, I really couldn't say. I think mocking will always exist.
