loss of sense of humour or loss of privacy rights?

[661-Pete]

The question of how a joke is taken, interests me personally. Humour is a very strange thing! It can be perilously close to distress or upset. I can fully understand how someone is unable to see what, to everyone else, is obviously funny. All I would say to anyone in such an embarrassment, is - back off for a while. Let time start off a sort of healing process. Then re-consider the matter.

I don't know what happened off-screen, in this case.

CCTV has been shown time and time again not to reduce crime, but to move it to areas where there is less CCTV.

My girlfriends street has CCTV on it and this week she saw some dealing - not of cards - on her way home. It was easy to give a description to the police or where to get one, as he was stood under the camera!

Yes, as can I! I am frequently on the 'unable to see' side whilst others are laughing away. I can do no other than accept that I have no sense of humour! Seriously, I wince rather than laugh if it involves someone maybe being hurt or embarrassed. (In truth, it's probably just a different side of the same reaction).
