Re: Sarcasm is an evolutionary survival skill
I get the sarcasm....Some people are better at it than others...but to me it has gotten to the point where that is the only way people can and do communicate. I think Seinfeld pretty much taught people how it was supposed to be done.

Re: Sarcasm is an evolutionary survival skill
"People with dementia, or head injuries in that area, often lose the ability to pick up on sarcasm, and so they don't respond in a socially appropriate ways."
So it was those people who invented smilies? |

Re: Sarcasm is an evolutionary survival skill
Smilies were invented so Krono could have something to say when he just has to post something and can't think of what to say.
