sarcastic pros and cons
|
|
PRO
-You can separate the strongminded from the weakminded with but a well placed sarcastic remark.
CON
-You can also wind up with a black eye if not handled correctly, you've not assessed the situation as well as you initially thought. i.e Weak mind, strong fist.
PRO
-You know what you're talking about even if your adversary/victim does not. The use of irony introduces an element of humour which may make the criticism seem more polite and less aggressive.
CON
-However, understanding the subtlety of this usage requires second-order interpretation of the speaker's intentions. Which idiots lack, and if you're alone and no one with the same caliber mind is around, it detracts from the hilarity of the moment. Recounting the moment to someone isn't as good as having the person there to share it.
PRO
-You can sound sincere, even if you're not. "Oh joy."
CON
-The recipient of the remark takes the remark at face value as enthusiasm, or worse, a compliment.
PRO
-Sarcasm is synonymous with wit.
CON
-It's also been referred to as the lowest form of wit.
(Albeit by imbeciles whose feelings -what is that?- are hurt or something equally gay.)
PRO
-It is awesome in every non-sarcastic sense of the word.
CON
-Not everyone thinks so, but they don't matter do they?
(Just kidding, you do, you matter a great deal. -classic example of sarcasm-)
