Which one is more morbid.

Reading obits of people you don't know and watching some dude read poetry about his father's death(and you don't like poetry).

Or

Watching documentaries about wars and watching war movies when you are a history buff?

neither seem that morbid to me, but i would say the first one. but then again, the way you say it makes it seem this is like an argument between you and someone else and you want us to agree with the second option, so maybe im only saying the first one since you presented it the way you did.

honestly, I don't find either particularly morbid...

you can find the last words of recipients of the death sentence online... I do it all the time and don't even think THATS morbid, theres a certain beauty in the words of those who are about to be free....

i can't say that i find either of those activities to be 'morbid'
...although doing them may be somewhat boring to some people, including me.

Not an arguement persay just an observation amongst family.

My mom likes to read obits of people she doesn't know, but in addition to that she also is constantly talking about death. As a kid when we would go on trips she would make us clean the house up from to to bottom. Not so we would have a nice clean house to come home to but because "If something bad were to happen people wouldn't have to clean up our house." Like people would care if the house was dirty if we all died horriblely. Or she will often tell me of somebody I don't even know dying out of the blue. "Oh Jenny's uncle's cousin died." Ok... I noticed the poetry thing(and after the poems about death were done she immediately changed the channel) and told her she was morbid. She then noticed later on that I was watching a war documentary and concluded that I was the morbid one.

There is little about death that is morbid, in my opinion. It makes sense that one would be interested in the ultimate end, and inquisitive about things such as obituaries and wars. If I had to choose, I'd say the former though, because my focus, at least, on war was on the action and the large phallic objects strewn throughout rather than the death part of it. The adrenaline, strategy, and technology.

Your mom's disposition might qualify as morbid to me though, since it seems she's got a bit of a preoccupation with death.

Im going to have to go with the first being more Morbid

I too am a History buff and watch war movies and documentaries, but I wouldnt call that morbid. Now, if you were watching those things to see the death and dying, THAT would be morbid. You're mother's activities seem far more morbid, as does her outlook on life.

Uh, neither. I visit rotten.com and ogrish.com a lot, so those 2 things are rather tame.
