• I find it incredibly boring when people are mean about some individuals, especially if the individual has no power.

• People do need a social license to go, "Ha ha ha," and have a good time. It's a strange thing. There's a lot of social ritual around comedy and laughter.

Sometimes people just need to be in a group and be laughing together, just like they need to be in a group in watching some really terrifying film.
