I'll add to what I said above that y'all seem to be more sensitive and reactive to the ridiculous than I am, because I consider most human behavior - including my own - ridiculous and comedic.
I don't disagree with what you're saying here. I definitely find human behavior ridiculous. I'll just add that I'm generally not amused by it. Perhaps that's the sensitivity you're referring to.
I'd say I'm amused by human behavior, until the ridiculousness of it impacts my life or the lives of the people I care about. Though, there is a tiny part of me that is morbidly curious to see how bad it can get.
Like a few years back, when the Browns came into the final weeks of the season and still hadn't won. A part of me definitely wanted to see them go winless, just because. Now, several bad decisions later, I don't care about them at all. I suspect that's where I'm heading with America, which is why I don't generally engage in political discussions anymore.
I don't think I'd consider that sensitive, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
