[ Closed ] If Bush ran against Jesus (Page 1 of 3)

Politics aren't funny. Nor are people who make jokes of them.

That doesn't exclude you, either.

I disagree. Politics, like everything else, can be humorous. How many elections have been won using humorous satires in past newspapers? Forgive me, I'll give you the definition for satire:

sat·ire    ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (str)
n.

1. A literary work in which human vice or folly is attacked through irony, derision, or wit.
2. The branch of literature constituting such works. See Synonyms at caricature.
3. Irony, sarcasm, or caustic wit used to attack or expose folly, vice, or stupidity.

If you have any further questions as to the meaning of satire, just tell me. I'll see if I can dumb it down a bit.

No my past statement was merely in response to your opinion that Politics are not funny. By simply saying that I am immature because I oppose your viewpoint is quite narrow minded. But carry on.

EDIT: I did not post the definition of Satire because I was making fun of you for being of less-average intellect. Cause I have no way of knowing. I put that there just in case you did not. However the bottom statement was put in a humourous way against your intellect.

Notice how I said I have no way of knowing how smart or unintelligent you are. I fail to see how you can derive from my previous statements that I am saying I am more intellegent than you. I have made humorous remarks against your intellect, but I never once commented what you really are since I don't know.

I also do not see you debating against what I said against your political views on how they are not humorous. That was the whole reason I posted it. All I see is you constantly defending yourself from a little humour and jokes.

You must read only what you want to. That comment was in no way indicating I was smarter than you, or even intentionally meant to insult you. When I stated that I didn't post the definition because I thought of you as being less than intellegent I did not mean anything by it. I was just letting you know that I'd have posted that definition for anybody who I was currently talking to. Last time I checked Satire was not a widely used word. It may escape even the smartest of people.

Some honest criticism though is you take things way to serious. I actually think that I hurt you during our conversation's by the way you are reacting.

Are you saying you are below the average amount of intelligence then? Because you stated that I was below the average intelligence and now you are saying that you never said you were smarter than me.

Just because I am smarter than you doesn't mean you have to be a total idiot. Control yourself, Gothic.

Side note: Isn't the qualification of being of less-average intelligence to have less intelligence than the average person? I guess I do not qualify, eh?

This is a joke right? I mean I have explained myself about 4 times how I never once considered myself smarter than you, not that you are of below average intellect. I even went through my past statements and cleared it up so you could understand that I meant nothing by it. I even said I do not know whether or not you are smarter or of less intellect than me. You keep bringing up the same arguement. I am sorry if I wounded your ego.

You have called me naive, and unintellegent, so do tell: how you are different from what you are calling me, prepubescent? Actually its gone far enough to call you a hypocrit. I have gone over my past statements in which you thought I was insulting you and clearly said I DID NOT MEAN WHAT YOU THOUGHT. You apparently thought I was insulting you, and I may have, but as I have said countless times before it was not meant in that way. I have made one joke about your intellegence. But that was it...a joke. Again you are taking things to seriously buddy.

Wow...I hurt your ego bad. I am sorry if you were insulted by my non-insulting terms. I am not saying that what I said didn't insult you. I am saying you are perceiving it in a way that I did not intend, and you have no proof that I did intend to hurt you. Cause I really did not. But seeing as how you felt that it was needed for you to comment on my grammar and spelling errors as a way to insult me clearly shows you're ego is damaged and you are trying to recover. Please accept my heart felt apology for damaging your ego, and insulting you. I assure you I did not intend it.

Because you draw this conversation on relentlessly, bringing up the same issues of how you feel I called you unintellegent. Clearly if I had not damaged your self esteem or ego, then you wouldn't have given a second thought about it. If I am looking for an escape point then tell me how and why I am still here pressuring my arguments. I need no escape from this debate(if you can call it that).
