Schadenfreude
N/A

Posted on 03/03/2005 10:23:50 AM PST by Right Wing It

I was unaware up until this point that there was a German word meaning "happiness at the misfortune of others" The Word is "SCHADENFREUDE". What makes it ironic is that it is the only national language in the world to have a word for such a subject. Who else thinks there should be an American word for this?

Just things that DO look like penises. Which, for some odd reason, seem to appear directly under posts by ... why... actually.... YOU.

That word is used here on FR in one post or another probably a dozen times a day, my friend. No news here.

I don't know what they are, really. They were called "Sea Penises from Korea". I know someone in the fishing business and we'll see if we can find out exactly what they are.

It's an appropriate word for how the Germans viewed the US in Iraq.

They had/have lots of Schadenfreude. They tried to justify their position with this concept. Every bomb that goes off is seen as a reason to justify inaction for not helping, for why this war is "wrong" in their eyes.

In case you haven't since learned (which you might have) we use<> to indicate a how we're speaking. In html you use, for example, </b> to end bold. Just like you're an evil troll </petty accusations>. BTW- As you can tell I think you're not a troll but just a relative newbie like me.
