Post by elazar »

that jarkko should maybe consider making another forum called,CYNIQIUPS,OXYMORONICS,AND CATCH-22`S .in all seriousness,to even the scales.there is a poetry playpen,why shouldnt there be something for everyone?

Why not find some strong wood and sharp nails and crucify alive anybody who is disturbing : the rebellious, the not nice guy, the one who is too nice, the control freak, the one who is challenging our ego too much, the different, the strange, etc. etc.

The winner, of course, is the one who nailed all the others, the brave that stands alone at the end, being submitted by his own fears of differences.

But just take all the responsibility for this.

According to Partisan and September Cohen regarding the number of my posts for today, I should come back around 2010, and see what appended. :wink:

i think there is a great creativity to be tapped here.those who dont write poetry can express creativity in a setting that might work.

I don't think so :roll: I think cyniscism is not like sarcasm, wich mean "to rip open the flesh" which, I think, is closer to the hate. :D

the sarcasm v.s. cynicism .
i find sarcasm as tool which can be used as harmless(and very funny) humor or as a scathing spear to the heart.
in websters dictionary you find both definitions.irony and taunt
cynicism is by far the more "hurtful" when one distrusts peoples motives and attributes all actions to selfish motives.this misanthropy can be quite comical when one might have a "sense of humor". :roll: it can also be a mode of expressing angst,creatively ,like leonard does. :D just my opinion
