Complex thinking required to understand sarcasm
"Sarcasm is lost on many people, in some cases more than others, because they may be missing part of a complex set of cognitive skills based in specific parts of the brain."

I don't know what you're talking about.
I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)

This is a MAJOR problem, 'round these parts.
There is few, if *ANY* people that understand the _>TRUE<_ meanings of Sarcasm, here at IWETHEY.org.
Come on, really whom have we seen that is any good a sarcasm?
Maybe, just maybe Dan Reck (danreck or screamer) might have an idea of sarcasm.

Right.
I'm sure I don't know a single thing about sarcasm. Or irony, come to that. Captain Literal, that's me.

it's much easier to pick up vocal sarcasm
Text doesn't transmit all the nuances, even with emoticons.
