Im afraid your authoritive spiritual dictating has failed here Travis. A comedian cant make an ironically detached comment without being sarcastic. Sarcasm is irony, wether the comedian is a attached or detached has nothing to do with a joke meant to (at whatever level) insult someone or something in order to make others laugh. The word sarcasm is not impenetrable to defintion as are some of the other words you feel obligated to argue over.As for sarcasm 'only' being a way for neurotic minds to avoid pain, that is both true and false. Often, it is true, I know several people who are hilarious because they are constantly making fun of others, while they themselves suffer from insecurity and a restless heart. But that is not always the case, and the kind of jokes a person makes should in no way automatically define who they are. A sarcastic joke is a sarcastic joke, wether the intention is to teach or to simply insult. There is no big difference as you say, between detached irony and sarcasm, there is only a difference between detached irony and attached irony.
Semantics. Nothing you've said here detracts from my point in the slightest. Let me know if you want to have real conversation sometime, Relayer. Travis
It would have been funnier if he said it like this.. Let me know if you want to have a real conversation sometime, "Relayer".
LoL! Because the opposite of love is fear, and I dont love you? Or have you performed yet another online analysis?
Is this another belief of yours, Relayer? Kind of like the belief that enlightenment is "faith-based" and the only way the approach transcendence of the senses is through thought? Because if it is, I see where you've gone astray. Oh but you do love me. You just don't know it. If by "online analysis" you mean seeing past your ego games, then yes. Travis
radareyes, do you have a delusional sense of self-importance which serves to temporarily negate the gnawing fear that you may never get laid in your lifetime ?
I have a delusional sense of self-importance, but it didn't originate with a gnawing fear that I may never get laid in this lifetime. Travis
Sarcasm interspersed with a contradictory underlying awareness. What a bizarre combination you've discovered. Travis
