What is incorrect with those humans who comment sarcastically?

[sovietchild]

Let me ask you a question. Simply, why are you upset?

Maybe because of my family past. They all were soldiers or at list most of them.

Is English your first language?

Is English your first language?

Honestly? I don't know if I have a first language. I came to America when I was 12.

I misspelled, good catch.

Okay, was just curious.

Just because you are funny and sarcastic does not automatically make you depressed by default. Look at me! I am hilarious and I am quite happy.

Sarcasm is a sign of serious trouble in a relationship.

Now you are just making stuff up.

What is wrong with those people who look for everything possible to criticize in others instead of addressing their own personal failings?

This format is getting old, sovietchild. It was kind of funny at first but it's now just sad. Work on yourself instead of looking for a bunch of little things in other people.

The answer is the same in this thread as it is in the other ones you made, nothing.

This is a religious forum. Don’t you think as a religious person I have a right to ask what is wrong with those people who….?

Which you have, without any limitations.

The

cure of ignorance is to question, prophet Muhammad once said.

Also, the cure of ignorance is to listen to the answers. You don't cure ignorance by just asking questions, but actually paying attention to what kind of responses you get and what they contain.

I believe some peoples world is upside down. What’s good is bad and what’s bad is good, and so lying becomes smart. What is wrong with those people who make up lies just to make people laugh? Is it not a form of a bully? To deceive others in order to gain some.

Perhaps. Or maybe the answers to the questions are so simple and obvious and the mockery is to wake you up and realize the answer was all along in front of you.

Are they confident in themselves, or do they lack self-confidence? Is it a peaceful criticism, or is it an angry criticism?

Not sure they're the opposites. The opposite to peaceful would be violent. The opposite to angry would be happy.

"Woe to the one who tells lies to make people laugh, woe to him" prophet Muhammad once said.

Yeah. Woe to them ten thousand times.

By the way, intelligent people tend to be very sarcastic. It just goes with the nature if being smart. Hence, I'm not being as much sarcastic with age as I used to be...

 

[sovietchild]

Yeah. Woe to them ten thousand times.

Really?

That might be true. Intelligent people tend to be depressed.

 

[Ouroboros]

Really?

Ok. 5000 times then.

There's nothing wrong with using a little irony to mock or convey contempt for someone's ideas. It's a lot better than employing the use of ad hominems.

I think freedom of crticism is part of freedom of speech.
Does hatefull speech should consider as freedom of speech?

You are entirely wrong. Anyone can say anything to you whether it makes you feel good or not. They can criticize what you believe, they can tell you that you're wrong, and in a debate setting like this, it is absolutely required that this be so. That's how debates operate. You have to be able to back up your claims with evidence and people have to be able to question your claims.

Otherwise it's just an echo chamber.

 

[YmirGF]

Maybe it isn't what you thought it was.

Sarcasm is also a way of asking for what you want when you are scared to ask for it directly.

On which planet?

A right? I wouldn't put it in the category of a 'right'. But sure, ask away. People are allowed to find your approach questionable. Personally, I have no issue with it. I hate to dare correct Muhammad, but questioning only really helps alleviate ignorance if you use the answers to challenge your own pre-existing beliefs. The question itself does nothing, and the process CAN be counter-productive.

Would you mind defining what a 'lie' is to your mind? If I said, for example, that a rainbow is made up of seven colours, am I lying? What if I suggested the sea was as wild as a hellcat? Lie? Neither are actually true. What if I pretend to be a camel and let my children ride around on me? Also not true, right? Sarcasm, assuming that is what you mean, relies heavily on the ability of the audience to recognize intent. Trust me on this, using sarcastic wit on a three year old is wasted effort. Their brains think far too literally to understand the humour.

Are they confident in themselves, or do they lack self-confidence? Is it a peaceful criticism, or is it an angry criticism?

Yes to all of these. They can be both confident or lack self-confidence. It can be peaceful, jovial, or in comradeship, but it can also be rude, aggressive or cutting.

"Woe to the one who tells lies to make people laugh, woe to him" prophet Muhammad once said.

*shrugs*
I'd need an example of what you consider a lie, I guess. Or, more to the point, what Muhammad considers a lie.

Absolutely nothing. Next?
