    Sarcasm is the rhetorical device of using a characterization of something or someone in order to express contempt.[1] It is closely connected with irony, in that the two are often combined in the same statement.
    your OP was sarcasm? wasn't that kind of heavy?

    No.

    I was indicating that I could reply to your post with some sarcastic remark in zeeblebotese. But obviously I failed.

    Wikiquote: half measures
    we could see global peace, but not without breaking a lot of eggs first.

    not saying the continuance of a low state of global warfare is the liberals/euroweenies/humanitarians' intents, but that is what they are achieving.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_(word)

    No is an English/Old English word indicating rejection, disagreement, refusal or making a negative response or exclamation. In most cases, it is the opposite of yes.

    No stands by itself as a grammatically sufficient and well-formed response to questions that can be answered yes or no.

    Stupidity is a quality or state of being stupid, or an act or idea that exhibits properties of being stupid.[1] The root word stupid,[2] which can serve as an adjective or noun itself, comes from the Latin verb stupere, for being numb or astonished, and is related to stupor.[3]

    20th century democides causing more than one million deaths.

    From Death by Government, Rummel, 1987. Several estimates have been revised after this date.

    Location ↓ Dates ↓ Est. Deaths ↓
    Cambodia 1975–1979 2,035,000
    China ...[text shortened]... 1945–1987 1,670,000
    Yugoslavia (Tito) 1944–1987 1,072,000
    U.S.S.R. 1917–1987 61,911,000
    I don't think Rummel is a reliable source.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusion

    "Although non-specific concepts of madness have been around for several thousand years, the psychiatrist and philosopher Karl Jaspers was the first to define the three main criteria for a belief to be considered delusional in his 1917 book General Psychopathology. These criteria are:

    certainty (held with absolute conviction)
    incorrigibility (not changeable by compelling counterargument or proof to the contrary)
    impossibility or falsity of content (implausible, bizarre or patently untrue)"


    I feel really sorry for you.
