You must be an idiot

How is sarcasm recognized in common speech? When spoken, it is expressed with a falsetto tone. NOT. If written, the font must differ in color or boldness. NOT. Sarcasm is recognized by its context. However, there are some individuals who fail to interpret sarcasm correctly, especially in those insta...

Re: The Capitol building is breached by the Retrumplicans NOW!

Now that everyone has their version of the recent past, along with its causes, firmly and securely lodged into place, moving forward. Impeachment. Good idea or bad? It’s being done for retribution, for punishment, and to discourage any future rise of Trump as a political focal point for the will of...

Why?
Just a language thing.

Re: The Capitol building is breached by the Retrumplicans NOW!

Which will more effectively help to reunify America, punishment or forgiveness for T**** and his followers?

Re: There is a change therefore there is a mind

I have to prove two things: A) Any change requires a mind, and B) The title. Proof for A: Consider a change in a system, X to Y. X has to vanishes to leave room for Y if there is a change. There is however nothing when X vanishes and nothing cannot cause Y. Therefore, there is a mind that experienc...

Re: American election.

If you stop distinguishing between different opinions, such as "liberal-biased organizations" and "the Leftist press", all that remains are the violent extremes. So you don't see it simply as left vs right. You see it simply as extremists vs non-extremists (centrists?). Doesn’t ...

Try substituting Right for Left and Left for Right. Maybe then you can grasp the intention.

Re: The Capitol building is breached by the Retrumplicans NOW!

Negative confirmation. All I wrote was the truth. Keep trying if you want me to understand what you're writing. If not, don't sweat it. I'm not feeling much need to know, so maybe take your time and think of something interesting to say. BOTH SIDES ARE IN THE WRONG. The Lefts need to stop calling o...

Re: The Capitol building is breached by the Retrumplicans NOW!

I see your point: if BLM does something, then it should be acceptable when pro-Trumpers do it. That sounds fair. Or maybe it’s if leftists do it without criticism from leftists, then leftists should not be critical of anyone else doing it, least of all the right wing. Neither should be acceptable, ...

Re: The Capitol building is breached by the Retrumplicans NOW!

The link is the crowd at the White House chanting to Trump, We Love You! .../... People do crazy things for love. Yes, they do. And people love the wrong people for the wrong reasons. You really can't say. You've never had that many people love you all at once. Have you? It's like judging the behav...

I see your point: if BLM does something, then it should be OK for pro-Trumpers to do it, too. That sounds fair. Not!
