    Lol

    A 'veil' of sarcasm is a little different than a 'sprinkling' of sarcasm here and there.

    And hey... you don't have time to be researching psychology stuff. You haven't completed your picture yet.
    I'm sensing a lot of inadequacy and denial around here. Also linked to bullying type of behavior. Do you enjoy bullying people?

    I fail to see your point other than an I'll attempt at projecting.
    The sarcasm is thick with irony today with a chance of brilliance tomorrow. The long range forecast calls for more of the same.

    If you are having trouble detecting sarcasm, you may be interested in this excerpt from the same article posted above.
    "Some highly intelligent people who have autism or Asperger's syndrome, for example, may fail to understand jokes and sarcasm. But her research has shown that people who are particularly good at detecting sarcasm also tend to be better at identifying emotional facial expressions. They seem to understand social situations better overall, she says."

    So it seems to me the that the over usage of sarcasm implies inadequacies, and the inability to detect sarcasm relates to other mental problems.
    So? Do I have mental problems or am I inadequate? Or maybe I just can't read?
    I'm not sure, I don't know you very well. Don't shoot the messenger...
    I wouldn't shoot anyone.

    I feel that you are only attempting to post sarcastic remarks now as if something has been "triggered". Are you attacking me for pointing out some of the psychology behind sarcasm?

    If you're going to use psychological terms, you may want to understand the difference between "thoughts" and "feelings". Hint - that one was a thought.

    There seemed to be an abundance of sarcasm, which actually only contributes to derailing any kind of serious argument. When you belittle people, they are less likely to be respectful or take you seriously and more likely to just send it back. It helps further no conversation. Unless, of course, the only reason for being here is to bitch and moan.

    Well, folks could debate based on facts and/or reality but typically when confronted with both, revert to sarcasm. Now about that fella Donald Trump, please tell me why, again, he's good for the US and the world as POTUS?

    On the other hand, this is a new low even for the country that put Dubya in charge. I mean, how do we go from Obama to Trump?

    Never underestimate the stupidity or ignorance of the average American. Some of it is on full display here in the forums.
    And cognitive dissonance as well that leads them to believe it's no big deal for their privilege kind to crap on the constitution but how dare a liberal especially a black and female one do it! 2+2=5 is the new e=mc squared in Trumpamerica.

    There's a lot of defensiveness in your recent posts. Would you like me to post some stuff regarding the psychology of defensiveness?

    In short, defensiveness reveals insecurity and the need to self-protect.

    In the instance of Trump supporter being defensive... I get it it. I really do. I mean... how embarrassing for such a person.

    So, I guess what I'm saying is: 'isn't psychology fun'?

    If you are having trouble detecting sarcasm, you may be interested in this excerpt from the same article posted above.
    "Some highly intelligent people who have autism or Asperger's syndrome, for example, may fail to understand jokes and sarcasm. But her research has shown that people who are particularly good at detecting sarcasm also tend to be better at identifying emotional facial expressions. They seem to understand social situations better overall, she says."

    So it seems to me the that the over usage of sarcasm implies inadequacies, and the inability to detect sarcasm relates to other mental problems.
    I pride myself on my ability to identify facial expressions over the Internet.
    I feel that you are only attempting to post sarcastic remarks now as if something has been "triggered". Are you attacking me for pointing out some of the psychology behind sarcasm?
    Why would you do this in a Donald Trump thread? Pointing out the psychology behind sarcasm?
    There seemed to be an abundance of sarcasm, which actually only contributes to derailing any kind of serious argument. When you belittle people, they are less likely to be respectful or take you seriously and more likely to just send it back. It helps further no conversation. Unless, of course, the only reason for being here is to bitch and moan.
    There's a lot of defensiveness in your recent posts. Would you like me to post some stuff regarding the psychology of defensiveness?

    In short, defensiveness reveals insecurity and the need to self-protect.

    In the instance of Trump supporter being defensive... I get it it. I really do. I mean... how embarrassing for such a person.

    So, I guess what I'm saying is: 'isn't psychology fun'?
    If I were a Trump supporter that would make sense...Coming to the defense of others that are being attacked is a completely different form of "defensiveness" though. Yes, psychology is fun...now please stop bullying people through immature passive aggressive sarcasm. It does not help to further discussions. I try to take a break once I realize I'm getting cynical and sarcastic...maybe a thought?

    You're calling it 'bullying'? And the attempts at humour 'attacks'? That's being a little melodramatic, but call it as you please. My little jabs (and other's as well) have elements of truth to them whether you care to admit it or not (and without expressing it... your 'defensiveness' suggests you recognize this).

    And by the way... what furthers the discussion?

    Facts? No. Those seem to have very little impact on Trumpsters. There not interested in those.

    Acts? No. Those have very little effect as well- they've even been supported in many cases no matter what the ramifications might have been or will be.

    Compromise on the part of my understanding of the issue? No. At least not right now when my understanding of the situation has not been tested well at all.

    I posted my response and noted you edited yours.

    Thanks for the tip, but I'm okay. A break wouldn't put me in any different place regarding this issue.

    All that stuff means what now?
    I live in a world where President Trump is the leader of the free world, as they say.
    Dems aren't quite accepting of this world yet.

    There are only so many code posts you can use for "Trump is magically a saint because he ain't that black liberal but he has white republican privilege." Congrats on jail. Serves you right. Trump could burn the US flag and you'd still kiss his ass because of his privilege.
    Are you banned again or something on Facebook? Is that why you are back spewing stuff like this?
    Your incoherent racially undertoned statement is incorrect. Stop mixing race in with your hate all the time.
    You are a very, very hateful and angry guy.
    Start being accepting of the fact that you have a white Republican male as your President. You are going into a tailspin with your anger.
    Save your anger for facebook once your ban is lifted - if ever.
    Don't bring it here.

    Annnnnnnnd thanks for proving my point on how easy it is to keep you trump trolls occupied. The world ain't gonna end if you post 3 simple words: "I am wrong." Facts are cool things. You should try them sometime.

    Where did March 20th come from? You mean the date the House intelligence committee started hearings? Before the White House obstructed justice with Nunes' evening stroll on the White House grounds? It's just getting started as is the GAO's investigation of trump's inaugural spending. Give it time professor. These Trumpian tangled webs take time to unravel. And unraveled they will be.

    Well, well, well, Trump's and the conservative tree house should really come down from their fantasy of how brilliant trump's negotiating skills are. The Chinese announced two months ago that they were suspending coal shipments to NK and overall Chinese trade with NK is up 37.4% in the 1st quarter of 2017 over 2016. In addition, the suspension of flights by china air had been in the works for quite some time due to underuse and frequently cancelled flights. NK's Air Koryo continues to fly to Beijing and other Chinese cities. Add the missile test today, albeit failed, and Trump's dancing granddaughter is 0-4. And the Syrian strike all the talking heads have boners over? What again exactly did that accomplish? You really do need better sources, professor.
