Well I don't think anything really bad is going on with me. I mean I remember when I was in middle school that was when I began to start laughing at a lot of random stuff. For some odd reason I would laugh when somebody would just say "the" or "hi." Very simple and normal things made me laugh for some reason. And normal comedy would make me laugh out loud for like 20 minutes straight. I always had after school classes and the kids there would always come up with new jokes or bring up old ones. Pretty much I remember we spend most of those days laughing at all kinds of things. I noticed my laughter seemed to have dwindled by the time I started high school. From there I don't remember how it started but violence became a source of fuel for my laughs then on. I mean I think my life is above average level of decency. I don't think anything makes me all sad or etc. Everyone in my classes seem to find this part of me normal and don't really mind it at all. Actually to say, I think I influenced some of them. Many students now seem to laugh at violent incidents before me.

Maybe you just laugh as a default if you have nothing to say.

I can't comment too much as far as what is or isn't right to laugh at seeing as I find it hilarious when people get hurt or die because of their own stupidity. For instance this 10 year old kid wanted his friends to bury him in the sand so that he could get Gaara's power over sand... Needless to say, the kid died.
Is this something to laugh at? For me, yes. For most others? Probably not considering a kid died, but if you're 10 years old and don't know the difference between a cartoon and real life? No fucking comment.

Laughing at the thought of babies being thrown in the air and shot may be fucked up, but it doesn't immediately suggest a problem with the person. Laughing when a person gets hit by a car and killed, and nothing more, that suggests a problem.Edit: Fuck that, I didn't pay attention to the word "thought"
The rest of the stuff I pretty much agree with. Because it's fake and no one is at a real risk, then there is no problem with a person finding comedy in it. Shit like video games. In real life it's always an OH SNAP! moment for me.(In a bad way)

i agreed to this

and seriously, violence maybe funny sometimes but only on some level
if it's just beating some guy's ass, i'm fine with it but if it involved something like guro, i seriously not find it funny anymore

Depends on the context.
If it's intended for comedic purpose,for instance:
Or Manzai, or violences that is, well, intended for the cheap laugh, like those usually shown in a cheap comedy film then it's okay. Laugh as much as you want.
But if it's serious violence in a serious context like war and such, Or in real-life situations like your examples, that is unacceptable.
At least in my opinion. But i have no right to change your view of things.
But imagine if the starving African kid is your brother. Or if the homeless guy that's hit by a car is your father. Could you still be laughing then? I wonder.

Theres a law that states if you see something that could be considered violent to close you would think that it was a horrible thing to do or happen but if you distance yourself from that you would think it was funny. in a scenario say you saw a person beat the shit out of another guy for no reason if you were next to that guy getting beat up you would think it was bad you might even be compelled to jump in and help the guy out, nut if you were a few feet away it would look so bad and if you were even further away you would think it could be funny because your you see the thing happen but you don't see all the violence ad the things happening as you would if you were closer up. for some people when they see a guy get hurt intentionally or not they dont have to be to far away to think its funny for others you would have to be further away but all that proves if you have a violent mentality or not
