who's that?

Ganondorf is a cunt

Vote me, 1570 or something like that and some other I can't remember. I absolutely hate those 2. The other probably too if I remember him/her. It's not only that they're deffen blink to death, they're also the most stupid posters I've seen in a long time...

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]Hello gaylords.[/QUOTE]

What? Who the **** is this?

felch182?

that 157208 (whatever) is an absolute f'ucking nob. No grammer, common sense, and only likes one band

I think that felch makes some good posts sometimes but after seeing his last reasoning about pop-punk I'm starting to think it could be him the last one.

Some of the pop-punkers don't like the 'attitude' of the punk forum but I'd rather have copious amounts of cynicism and sarcasm than copious amounts of retarded fanboyism.

That statement was so good it needed to be said twice.

Whenever anyone makes a dodgy comment about any of the big pop-rock band (e.g. blink, GC, green day) they always firstly try to have a go at you and then they try to make comments about the punk forum.

That pattern comes to the surface so often it's ridiculous

God I love sarcasm.

Sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit but it is also the highest form of intelligence and complex brain functions.

They use to tell me I use too much sarcasm but it feels good when no one understands me except the ones I want.

[b]Highest functions of brain produce lowest form of wit[/b]

The highest functions of our brains handle the lowest form of wit, new research suggests.

An investigation by Simone Shamay-Tsoory and colleagues shows that the ability to understand sarcasm depends on a carefully orchestrated sequence of complex cognitive skills in specific parts of the brain.

Dr Shamay-Tsoory, a psychologist at the Rambam Medical Centre in Haifa and the University of Haifa, said: "Sarcasm is related to our ability to understand other people's mental state. It's not just a linguistic form, it's also related to social cognition."

The research revealed that areas of the brain that decipher sarcasm and irony also process language, recognise emotions and help us understand social cues.

"Understanding other people's state of mind and emotions is related to our ability to understand sarcasm," she said.

The team recruited 41 people who had suffered mild brain damage following accidents or illness. Together with 17 healthy volunteers, the scientists checked how they understood neutral and sarcastic statements read by actors.

One sarcastic example was: "Joe came to work and instead of beginning to work he sat down to rest. His boss noticed his behaviour and said 'Joe don't work too hard'."

In the neutral version, Joe begins to work as soon as he arrives and his boss's reaction is the same.

The study showed that people with damage in the prefrontal lobe struggled to pick out sarcasm. The others, including people with similar damage to other parts of the brain, were able to correctly place the sharp-tongued words into context.

The prefrontal lobe is known to be involved in pragmatic language processes and complex social cognition. The ventromedial section is linked to personality and social behaviour.

Dr Shamay-Tsoory said the loss of the volunteers' ability to understand irony was a subtle consequence of their brain damage, which produced behaviour similar to that seen in people with autism

"They are still able to hold and understand a conversation. Their problem is to understand when people talk in indirect speech and use irony, idioms and metaphors because they take each sentence literally. They just understand the sentence as it is and can't see if your true meaning is the opposite of your literal meaning."

Writing in the May issue of the journal Neuropsychology, her team proposes a three-stage neural pathway in our brains that enables us to understand irony.

First the language centre in the brain's left hemisphere interprets the literal meaning of words. Next, the frontal lobes and right hemisphere process the speaker's intention and check for contradictions between the literal meaning and the social and emotional context. Finally, the right ventromedial prefrontal cortex - our sarcasm meter - makes a decision based on our social and emotional knowledge of the situation.

Experience of past situations is also important - perhaps explaining the difference in the grasp of irony on either side of the Atlantic.

"Maybe it's a cultural difference. I think the English have a more complicated and subtle sarcasm that the Americans are not used to," Dr Shamay-Tsoory said.

Haha that's cool. Also kind of explains the so-called English sense of humor...



Besides the ones that say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit are those who are owned by it.

I rule at rhymes.

On the subject of sarcasm:

"If someone offend you, do not seek vengence immediately. Just wait for an opportune moment and hit them in the head with a brick." -Mark Twain.


I'm paraphrasing from memory of course, but I think that's pretty close to the actual quote.

I don't get what has that quote to do with sarcasm.

1) Spell correctly, please
2) You can set your default skin in your User CP

Maybe it's just an error

try turning your cpu off and turning it on and hitting it, it may correct it or it might make it worse. I don't know, im no computer expert.

My computer has been on for 2 weeks straight. Longest its ever been on.

If my computer was on for that long I'd probably get a fever

I just can't be arsed to turn the thing off. Probably needs a restart. Plus I like my downloads to finish before I restart and s'hit.

You better make the time to actually type and spell like you are a functioning member of society and that you don't belong in a retard home, or I will make you an example of my no retard spelling rule.
