Wow, now you're, like, thinking in two levels man!
I was just pondering how much I get laid and then BAM! You lay down the law! Please, please, I'm a glutton for punishment, but you are too much.!

Edit: added exclamation mark to emphasize how deeply your comments pained me.

Whose time is being wasted, exactly?

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Like you, since you obviously took the time to read at least one of my replies.
GRRR! Let out that angst!
And while you're letting it out, maybe you can learn to capitalize!!!

A sophism is taken as a specious argument used for deceiving someone. It might be crafted to seem logical while actually being wrong, or it might use difficult words and complicated sentences to intimidate the audience into agreeing, or it might appeal to the audience's prejudices and emotions rather than logic, i.e. raising doubts towards the one asserting, rather than his assertion. The goal of a sophism is often to make the audience believe the writer or speaker to be smarter than he or she actually is, e.g., accusing another of sophistry for using persuasion techniques. An argument Ad Hominem is an example of Sophistry.

A sophist is a user of sophisms, i.e., an insincere person trying to confuse or deceive people. Sophists will try to persuade the audience while paying little attention to whether their argument is logical and factual.

I find it fitting you used the word yourself.

The term sophism originated from Greek sophistes, meaning "wise-ist".
Also from Wikipedia.
In short, give me your own ideas if you really want to challenge me. Regurgitating something from the cesspool of internet knowledge isn't going to convince me. (BUT JANVIER TAHT WASN'T SHORTER THAN THE WIKIPEDIA QUOTE, LOL - yeah, shut up. I knew that.)

Joey Ramone.
I've never really listened to punk out of fear of becoming a smelly ill-dressed vegan with a mutilated body and shit for brains.

Wow, that's too bad.  I listen to punk, and I am a well-groomed omnivore with a tattoo and graduated with a 3.7 GPA.

Too bad about that fear you got.


How about some intellectually challenging music?

Thanks.  I'll take a listen to that when I get home.

Well, I listened to it.  I'm wondering where you got the idea that it was intellectually challenging.

Kinda clever?  Yeah, I suppose.  It's a mock country western song about Marshall McLuhan ("Marshall," get it?), but it really doesn't offer any challenge.  Even if you can't grasp the meaning of the quotes they lift off him, you don't have to.  The joke is the juxtaposition of borderline post-modern gibberish against a "Rawhide"-esque melody.

I thought for sure you were gonna lay something like this snazzy little number on me.  I mean, if we're talking about challenging most of the traditions of the musical canon, that is.


But all in all, you really missed what I was saying about Joey Ramone, and how it actually answered your question perfectly.


I know, I know; you're just a troll trying to get a rise out of a bunch of Discordians.  And you did manage to piss some off.  But that's not hard.  Around here, Discordians get pissed off at a bunch of things.  It's much, much harder to get them to respect you.  More rewarding, too.

At least we've learned you drop the Joycean bullshit when you get angry.  I think you should do that more; it clarifies your writing.

Dunno if I was supposed to, but I enjoyed that rather a lot.
