I have been told by many that I have a dark sense of humor at times :-)
I have rarely been voted down; but, I have been voted down in a humorous discussion which is both sad and amusing in a dark way "-)
I enjoyed the satire of Jonathan Swift and National Lampoon while I was growing up. In the military in the 1970's and 1980's dark humor was common in the Combat Engineer and Infantry units I served with. I realize not everybody likes dark humor.
The Humor topic seems to be focused on light humor. I think that dark humor is appropriate to politics, current events, ancient calamity, etc. Dark humor should not be a place to insult RallyPoint members or political figures.
Do you think the Humor - Dark topic group should be established?

Don't we already have a group devoted to dark humor? It's called "politics" isn't it?

LTC Stephen F.
I was critiqued by RallyPoint for tagging Humor in some serious political discussions I started SGT Neil Chandler. That is why I think having a dark humor group would allow us to post what used to be called Black humor without offending those who are more thin skinned. :-)

I think the dark humor group should be established. We could tag that group for political, tragic events, world news and other groups that conventional humor would not seem appropriate for many :-)
I remember the Black Death nurse rhymes like "Ring-a-round the rosie, A pocket full of posies, Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down" which children repeat while being clueless about what they mean.
