Schadenfreude

RE: Schadenfreude
I'm surprised any part of 'schadenfreude' means 'joy'. Are there any happy sounding German words?

I don't think it's always immoral; it depends on the format, the severity of the misfortune, and where the fault lands . When watching a show like Tosh.0 or AFV, there's an understanding that you aren't going to witness death, and since its in the past there's the assumption that there has been recovery. So we laugh. Or I do, anyway. It's the same with telling a story. You could be describing some horrible luck that happened to you in the past, but because you are standing there now, you must be ok, so it's ok to laugh. You could witness some extremely terrible things and react appropriately, and have a good laugh later on recalling.

Of course, getting joy from watching a person die is immoral, at least according to my morals.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
