Laughter is a release for pain- sure...Its invaluable , and in that capcity you have kept me entertained and in good spirits generally.
Am I a goody goody all the time? Good question. I don't know what you mean by "goody,goody" exactly , but I have some idea.
I would venture to say that I am good and consistent to all people who are affected by my actions at all times. A mistake,(will come along) now and then which I will readily admit.

In a word, NO.

We are NOT "allowed to make fun of each other".
Some people take sullying, defaming, and otherwise "making fun" of others as their God-given right, but they are quite wrong. It's rude, crude,and unacceptable behavior, and civilized people don't do it. Period.

We have the right to make fun of someone if they do it to us. Not that we have to exercise this right.

no you should be aware that there is a distinction between making fun with someone through some light hearted banter and getting personal with someone, until you understand the subtlety you should refrain! Many have not the comprehension to make the distinction, and thus it gets ugly and personal!
