I think it would be fine to start a thread on it. And see also more examples from Scripture too.Kurieuo wrote: ↑Thu May 24, 2018 7:33 pmDo I detect some sarcasm there?

She needs to know that I listen to her, and care about her feelings.
Are you trying to be mean to Hana? No, I don't think so. So maybe it is satire.
Then again, what about your wife? hmm. Seems you're not being respectful there either.
Maybe it's not sarcasm. Oh hang on! You're being mean to yourself, if you mean the opposite then you're like some kind of male chauvinistic monster!
For those who don't know the difference between sarcasm and satire, please read.
Maybe that article would be a good discussion piece.

I guess I sound like an annoying jerk when I rant.
But I have had a lot of crap and lies etc so it's partly venting and partly genuine concern over injustice.

Re: Marriage - It's an Institution
Don't let Rick fool you - he is actually a very sensitive, touchy feely, emotional sort - but he uses sarcasm because he's not comfortable with expressing himself emotionally. His wife says that sarcasm IS his "love language" - well, that and food.
