Als ik mij verveel bekijk ik soms eens wat grappige filmpjes op youtube. Enkele vrienden stuurden me filmpjes door van bekende stand-up comedians. Zo kwam ik terecht bij enkele sketches waar de stand-up comedians grappen maakten over mindervaliden en over mensen met een ernstige ziekte. Als je een mop of twee vertelt over mindervaliden of over mensen met een ernstige ziekte kunnen we er nog wel eens om lachen, maar een ganse show? Elke stand-up comedian heeft wel een show waarin hij mensen met een beperking uitlacht. Ze gaan echt te ver, dit noem ik geen humor meer!
Ik zag bijvoorbeeld het filmpje van Hans Teeuwen over de Jostiband. Dit is een voorbeeld van humor dat echt te ver gaat. Deze mindervaliden hebben er helemaal niet voor gekozen om een beperking te hebben. Het is al hard genoeg voor deze mindervaliden om met hun beperkingen te leren leven. Moeten we ze daarom nog eens gaan uitlachen ook?
Waarom zouden we grappen maken over mindervaliden of mensen met ernstige ziektes? Zij maken toch ook geen grappen over ons? Men zegt altijd dat iedereen respect moet hebben voor de medemens, maar dat respect moet van twee kanten komen. Iedereen behoort tot de maatschappij, als iedereen over iedereen moppen maakt waarin ze elkaar uitlachen, ontstaat er vroeg of laat een ernstig conflict in onze maatschappij. Men moet zijn grenzen leren kennen. Er zijn genoeg dingen waarover men moppen kan maken, laten we ons daarop concentreren.
Het leven is veel mooier als men lacht, daar ben ik het volledig mee eens. Men mag van mij over alles moppen maken en vertellen, maar niet over de problemen of de beperkingen van een ander. Dat is respectloos, men moet zijn grenzen kennen. Niet alles is namelijk humor.

Writing exercice : Friend Story
My neighbor in the class is Emma Uittenhove.
I have interviewed Emma and I asked her what her most thrilling thing was that she has ever done.
She told me about her rafting story that suposed to be thrilling but it wasn't at all.
When she was eleven years old, she went rafting with her family in Italy. She was sitting in the boat with her parents and her brother and a monitor. They were peddeling on the river, but the river was quite boring she said. There were just a few rocks in the river. Sometimes there was a little waterfall.
One moment, the monitor said you can jump off the boat and swim into the stream. That was really difficult and tiring said Emma. You had also a rock of 4 meter high where you could jump off into the river. Emma may not spring because she was too young, but her brother did jump. He said that it was really amazing to do that, it gaves him a kick he said.
When they did arrived, they had forgotten to take the boat out the river so the boat has floaing a 100 meters further. The monitors had to go get the boat and bring him back.
When they were leaving, they have paid the monitor for the rafting.
When they were home they have said to each other that they would never go back to that rafting but they would go to a wild river where you can go rafting.
So that was the thrilling story (that wasn't thrilling at all) off Emma Uittenhove.
