re: #111 Obdicut

Logical things can also be ironic. And when saying what someone else would assume, you’re kind of punking yourself.

It’s ironic because there’s a common meme that to know and understand a lot about another culture is to be more forgiving and friendly towards it. It’s often said that ignorance breeds hate— but, while ignorance is a fertile breeding ground for fear and hate, intimate association can lead to plenty of it too.

Try not to play at being psychic over the interwebs. It generally winds up looking silly.

Still in good form I see. You assume what people mean all the time, which is why you are so entertaining.

There is nothing ironic about your common meme theory, unless you assume that all cultures are really nice to everyone, if one would just understand their form of niceness; but then in the rest of the sentence you explain that intimacy can lead to fear and hate without claiming that this is always wrong. Would you like to clarify what you really mean, or are you practicing being a politician?

I don’t need to be psychic to understand you. It would be silly to assume that.
