        Nice try at turning it around but can't work for the reasons that a) what you believe passed as sarcastic humor didn't come close (writing a sentence in the style of a child doesn't count) and b) you didn't get any of it!!! Sad to say, the only stupid around here, right now, is you. Why, there is even another thread taking the piss out of you but I don't suppose that's registered with you.

        No, I was being truly sarcastic, not attempting to use some sort of, sarcastic humor. The funny part, is that you don't get it. (The joke was literally at your expense.) (See, you guys made a lame joke, and thought it was hilarious, only it wasn't, so, I made an equally stupid joke to mock you, ie, the sarcasm...) I think I'll go edit the original post, to include. /sarcasm Maybe that will help, but, I really doubt it.

                No, I'm short tempered, and homicidal, there's a difference. It comes across a bit better in the real world. (Basically, picture Charles Manson on the other end of the computer, and you'll have a fairly accurate picture of me, seriously, I look just like Manson.) While I haven't actually had to kill anyone, because, they generally know better than to push me that far, I would without a doubt do so if I felt I was being disrespected, and they of course, refused to back off when warned. I don't bother making threats on the internet all that much, because, everyone goes, ah, scary internet man gonna beat me up, lol. But, truth be told, I'm telling the truth, and as in reality, I don't care who believes me, though, in reality, it's always a TON of fun MAKING believers out of people. :) (I enjoy fighting, what?) (See, now we're getting to know each other, isn't this fun?)

                  Right, and that's fine, sometimes. This is the problem, your childish nature, I love that stuff too, but, you REALLY need to know when, and how, and with whom it's okay. Btw, I've made a few lounge post, and had perfectly serious conversations with none of this nonsense, we even GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER, and THEN, made a few jokes, etc,. (That's the lounge I thought I was posting in, not this 12 year old troll factory.) I might have been okay with a few jokes, had the topic actually gotten more serious responses, but, right off the bat, you were sh*ting on me, and my topic. (Frankly, it p*ssed me off, and I went into troll mode myself.) I think you guys are misjudging me, and I can't possibly misjudge you, because you've presented nothing but false faces, I don't even know the real you. (Who was trolling, who was serious, I don't know, I don't you ppl well enough to tell the difference.)

                  You must be thinking of someone else. I didn't lock horns with you until you got nasty with folks having a little fun. There was, as far as I could tell, no ill will from anyone until you created it with your belligerent responses. Heck, if it weren't for that, I might not have become involved in the conversation at all, though Mick's joke about Americans might have drawn me in anyway. But I certainly wouldn't have engaged with you! Getting p*ssed off because your rant didn't bring fellow ranters is quite childish (funny how all these things you accuse me of represent your own behavior, rather than mine). And it's no way to get to know people. As to knowing the "real me", I use my real name and I've tried today to talk you down from the acts of pure jackassery that you've been performing, without any appreciation for my efforts. Ah well, too much to expect from a troll, I guess.

                      I was just explaining my nature, it was brought up, and I clarified. I've long held, that people need not fear me to get their a** kicked by me. And I've also long held another belief, even if you manage to win, I'm coming back with a bat, and if that isn't enough, I'm coming back with a knife, etc, etc,. You've seen how relentless I am, that holds true in life as well, you'd have to kill me to stop me, or cripple me so bad I can't possibly get you. (Or do what everyone else does, and don't be dumb enough to make me that mad.) These are just a simple fact about myself, nothing more. --- Look, FWIW, I grew up poor, lived on the streets, we was homeless, I had nothing, etc,. (And worse, things I can't even speak of.) Life was rough, but, it made me something not to be trifled with. I'm a decent guy, I try to be intelligent, and civil, but, just as much as that's true, so is everything else that I've said.

                            It doesn't work, my intelligence level hides the true danger lurking beneath the surface. (I begged them for help, and told them my fears, but they thought I was just trying to score free dope, the fools.) These days, I just smoke pot, it chills me out, legalize it, for you own sakes. You see, I'm not alone, there are a LOT of ppl just like me, and pot brought us together, and it made me see that I wasn't alone, or all that different. (Relatively speaking, of course.) I'm not sure what the real issue is, but no doctors will help, and when they try, they misdiagnose it, and give us crap that does nothing, or makes it worse. (I'm hoping to get medical marijuana, once it comes to my state, if it comes to my state.)

                              How sad: you don't understand what sarcasm is. Still, one day, when you're a big boy it'll become clearer. In the meantime, keep practicing with those silly little things you do. One day someone might laugh. You just have to hope that it's with you, not at you...

                                    I believe he passes himself of as Hungarian, unless he's swapped his passport very recently.

                                      Yes, I did. He's abrasive, he fails to read\understand topics, and makes ridiculous suggestions that generally have nothing to do with any sort of actual solution. But, he had little to do with this topic, he's a minor fraction of the problem.

                                      First of all, this has absolutely nothing to do with language. English-speaking people could be jerks as well, and the opinion I'm about to express here isn't specific to any group. This is directed at no individual, but a lot of *experts* have appeared out of nowhere who have presumed to have expertise on everything, and will answer queries on any topic with some vague text and a couple of links to other sites. They'll keep doing it until their name is listed as a "top expert", and they accumulate the online points they've been aiming to get. I suggest that you don't get into an argument with any of them. It won't be fruitful, and it will frankly be a complete waste of your time.

                                        That's simply awesome! A movie on this story line could be better than many of the latest Hollywood flicks. :)

                                          I got really, really pissed off once with a non English speaker who accused me of using the wrong word in something irreverent. Even after others said the word I had used was correct, if a little obscure in the way I had used it, he still insisted I had used the wrong word just because he had never used it like that.

                                          For the benefit of others reading this forum I'm that "non-English speaker". After that discussion with Chris, I did some looking up, and learnt that he was indeed correct in the usage of his language (albeit a little obscure as he said). :)
