That white line's addicting, always addicting.
To be honest, if I could bring my haiku gimmick into non-spam, I would. So there's that.

Haiku... You sir know how to make me blush.
And to Gelgarin, the problem you're encountering is that nothing in that song is actually ironic, unforunate, but not ironic.
That song made my English teacher angry for poisoning our views on Irony.
Good. Now, spread 'em

You aren't vindictive, few are on here other than your lifetime achievement award candidate stormtrooper are. For the most part we not so surprisingly have the attention span of a wrestling fan. I thought he might be back for sentence structure, or poking the beast. Although it appears you have reached a compromise where you get to poke him back.
I went through a phase once where I liked to say faux pas, because that word was just fun to say. Really, it is. And I'd use incorrectly, hoping people would realize that my calling things situations a faux pas was, in fact, a faux pas.
No one caught on. Probably because I said it with such conviction. More likely because I fucked up faux pas

Gelgarin, How many days did you spend on the difference between literally and figuratively with your class?
I touched on it for the first time last week during an IELTS one to one when my student wrote in an essay that the business community was literally eating money - they tell me that in a couple of weeks he'll be able to pick up a pen again.
Other than that one... incident, it hasn't come up. There are much more annoying aspects of the English language to deal with.

Tell your English teacher that he's wrong, the situations in the song are perfect examples of cosmic irony.
The irony of the situation isn't the song's lack of irony, it's people thinking it's clever to point that out, when in fact it is ironic.
You should probably read this.

Rain on your wedding day isn't ironic, it's just unfortunate.
Roger Horberry said:
Cosmic Irony is the idea that "the gods are against you", which is pretty much the epitome of that song. It's obviously semantics, but the point is people act all holier than thou attacking Alanis Morrissette, when the fact is, you can interpret what she said into an ironic picture.
I would never dream of attacking Alanis Morrissette. Not only is she a fantastic artist, but I saw her in a movie once where she was God. I don't wanna fuck with that shit and get smited.

What is a comma splice again? I was too busy have sex to ever learn that one. Considering it was with myself I probably should have multitasked.
This is untrue and represents a misunderstanding of cosmic irony. Cosmic irony has historically been the idea that fate or some similar higher power is conspiring against one with deliberate ironic intent. There still has to be a reversal of expectations. The semantic debates over the ins and outs of irony are almost endless, but the single base constant is that there has to be an element of contrariness. Coincidence and misfortune can be cosmically ironic, but the ideas are not synonymous.
Oedipus is cosmic irony. Gift of the Magi is cosmic irony. Ironic is not. ('no smoking sign on your cigarette break' might be; 'the good advice that you just didn't take' really, really isn't.)
Fortunately I wasn't having sex when it came up; or at the very least I was thinking about punctuation whilst doing so (not unlikely, it helps with the timing).
Short Answer: A comma splice is when you can't use commas, you put them where a semi-colon should go.
Ever since the modernists came marching over the hill, the question of comma splicing has become increasingly redundant.
Boy, it's been a while, innit?

Wow, have we found the king of all shitlords. I get that the best way to handle a mong like this is to ignore him. And if I really believed he was trolling, I probably would ignore him. But god. damn. Does this fucker seem like a cock mongerer. And I think it's pretty legit, so here we go.
You might all remember this started with one shitlord who took a national tragedy and further his persecution complex with the rest of the forum. It's pretty much an accepted truth that tragedies are always going to have at least one cunt nugget, who has to give a view that the people had it coming. I'm prett sure that someone has said the explosion of Pompeii was coming to them, because they didn't please the gods, or some shit.
Well, congrats, sidney, you are that cunt nugget. So allow me to show you, in no uncertain ways, why you are a cunt nugget.
Ok, first flaw; the city of Boston funded the IRA. I mean, it wasn't like the actual city funded it, it was some rogues who came from Ireland, but fine, that's your stance. It's ******ed, but fine.
Tell me, how many of the victims of yesterday do you think gave any money to the IRA? How many of them do you think are actually aware of what even happened? Because, I tell you what, unless you can present some checks from the victims, including the fucking 8 year old who was killed, directed to the IRA, you should probably shut the fuck up.
Interesting, because plenty of members of the forum, British and Irish alike, have expressed sadness over this.
Why? Because they are perfectly capable of separating the victims from something a good amount probably don't know about. And they aren't austistic fucks.
I'm not preaching, I'm just saying you're a mong.
Again, show me checks from the victims, then you may have a semblance of a point. You can't, and you don't
Of course, now we must bomb the infidels!
That would be like me saying that an article that reads "Jets slaughter Patriots" means that New York is up for grabs to bomb.
No, Boston didn't; rogues funded the IRA. Learn to separate the two.
I'm sorry, did the city of Boston release a statement saying "The IRA has bombed Britain, sweet"?
Right, glad we got that cleared up.

Now, usually, I think anyone that defends the Westboro Baptist Church is pretty much a bitchbag. But, I can see you don't necessarily agree with what they're saying. At least, I would hope not, that would make you a bitchbag indeed. So, in that case, you're defending that the Church has a "God given right" to assemble.
So, I'm not ripping on you for your stance. I am ripping you, because your defense of said stance is absolutely shit.
No, it is no one's God given right to assemble. If that were the case, everyone in the world would be allowed to assemble. As we all know, that's far from the case. Tell the people of North Korea it's their God given right to assemble, and I'm pretty sure you'll just get some really perplexed looks.
If anything, I would assume that God is going to give you a right, that it would actually involve more along the lines of being able to bury and commemorate the dead without some twat waffles attention ****ing for no purpose, and being general asses. If your uncle were to come to funeral drunk and belligerent, you would ask that he remove himself, right?
So, what's the difference here? There isn't. You're defending a group by giving them the pass of the first amendment, which is actually a right given by the government and the Bill of Rights, but you're ignoring that their presence, by itself, is interfering with the right of others to peacefully assemble.
So yeah, shitty logic, that is. If you're going to defend a hate group, at least have a decent reason behind it

The government does not give us rights. Our creator does. The bill of rights are inherent God given rights. The constitution is for the government to protect those rights and limit their(government) powers. Which they don't do.
