I'm confused.

Are you being sarcastic or are you paying me a complement?

I don't understand.

sarcasm, but in a non-aggressive way

[Schme]

I see. I suppose I just don't get it.

[Surly]

It's the British sense of humour...

[Schme]

Ah. I used to have one of those, but my brother stole it. I never forgave him.

[formerly known as hf]

it's a scientific fact

Only those brought up in the UK can get tell when a Brit is being sarcastic. The level of subtleness (subtlety, subtleification, subtleism?) is unique...

[Schme]

Are you being sarcastic again?

[Surly]

What a fun little discussion...

[formerly known as hf]

No I'm not, it's been studied, British sarcasm is undecipherable unless you've been brought up in a situation where you're accustomed to it...

All I can say is:
1) all media is corupted by the bias of the owner, governement and/or journalists
2) the american media is pretty poor for international issues. (According to my american friends)
3) I've also noticed the americans are very bad at picking up brittish sarcasm. [using americans as an example as they are english speaking and I comunicate with a lot)

On the subject of media - I recoommend www.indymedia.org
- it's an in dependent media site - not unbiased, but with a kind of bias that doesn't usually find its way into mainstream media. It's interesting to see how much news goes ignored...

*he sighs and waits for the uprising to schemes smart aleky and very very provoking comment*

And so the rich commie waited, and he waited, but none came. "I really hope they'll come soon, otherwise my point won't be proven. And I wish that they'd hurry up with that revolution, too."



I see what you mean. Look at ALL those people who came to prove you right. Well, you sure showed me.

I think people are just bored of you being an idiot... and i'm also suprised your not tired of being told you an idiot yet... maybe your brother stole your sense of when to stop being a bastard aswell as your sense of humor... Oh and just so you know, I'm a Libetarian, not a communist, i come from a middle class background, just like most people in post - Thatcher England, so i'm not exactly rich, and i'd hate for there to be a revolution... i think Parliments cute... anyways in return, FUNK OFF, and stop Bashing... Attaking leads to bashing, bashing leads to flaming and flaming leads to the Dark Side... and before you reply saying i'm a star wars geek, i'd just like you to know that i really dislike those films...

[Schme]

Nobody came to your defence or backed you up. Deal with it.


Yeah, call me an idiot because nobody came to prove you right. Well, NOW you've showed me. I've learned my lesson.

[formerly known as hf]

Stop now.

Whatever you two want to say about each other, don't drag the forum along. If you have things to say - keep it private. If this continues, I'll just lock the thread.

[Schme]

Understood.
