"O ye who believe! Let not some men among you laugh at others: It may be that the (latter) are better than the (former): Nor let some women laugh at others: It may be that the (latter are better than the (former): Nor defame nor be SARCASTIC to each other, nor call each other by (offensive) nicknames: Ill-seeming is a name connoting wickedness, (to be used of one) after he has believed: And those who do not desist are (indeed) doing wrong. (The Noble Quran, 49:11)"
I HATE it when people say something really rude and insulting, and then when you show you're annoyed they say, "oh come on, I was just being sarcastic!"
If you're gonna be mean, be mean...don't give a stupid excuse afterwards...especially one that really does absolutely nothing for your case!
First - most people don't ever use the word 'sarcasm' in the proper context...
if you say something that is ironic and you're just trying to be funny...that's NOT sarcasm...that's just IRONY...loser.
if you are just saying something mean...and there is not any irony involved..that's just being mean...
if you are being ironic and intentionally mean...that is sarcasm....if you don't know how the person will take it...well then..is it worth possibly pissing someone off? If you don't care, go ahead.

Main Entry:
sar·casm Pronunciation: \ˈsär-ˌka-zəm\ Function:noun Etymology:French or Late Latin; French sarcasme, from Late Latin sarcasmos, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein to tear flesh, bite the lips in rage, sneer, from sark-, sarx flesh; probably akin to Avestan thwarəs- to cutDate:1550 1: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
2 a: a mode of satirical wit depending for its effect on bitter, caustic, and often ironic language that is usually directed against an individual b: the use or language of sarcasm
...did everyone catch that part about tearing flesh and biting the lips in rage!?
You are insulting me, and I don't think it is ok, and I don't think it's funny. I guess it really is my ego that get's the most of it...because it pisses me off to
think someone would think they're clever enough to say something like that to me...and think I'm too dumb to understand I'm being insulted.....and when they realize I'm not, think that I should be ok with it....? nein...das ist nicht gut.
"...aww shucks, I didn't know you were being sarcastic! ...how foolish of me! Never you mind!..you go right ahead (and insult me)..."
I love satire and ironic statements...
and I'm not even saying for people to not be sarcastic...I do think that would be best, but I would be a complete hypocrite if I told people to stop...I think it's hilarious when aimed at inanimate objects, political figures I don't like, people who are sarcastic towards me...
I'm just saying,
1. Use it in the right context - if you say you're being sarcastic but you're not actually being mean...then stop calling it sarcasm.
2. If you are fully aware of the meaning, and you know you are using it properly, don't say, "i was just kidding" or,
"I'm sorry...I was being sarcastic" ...that's just stupid. (see, that's not sarcasm, because im actually saying you're stupid, and it's also not ironic because it really is stupid)
I'll probably give an annoyed look and say nothing (for some reason the person who acts defensively, is the one who is looked at strangely...wth?)
...and in my mind I will think...my God, how this person bothers me...
I might say "that's not funny." with a straight face (it intimidates)...
or I might just look confused and say "hmm?"...it annoys the crap out of the person because they really do want people to get their sarcasm, and it's not like they can clarify...I mean God forbid they actually express what they're thinking...cowards...
There is of course wanting genuine forgiveness for something you feel remorseful for...
this won't take back what you said...or what you were thinking :ahem:...
but when a person is absolutely guilt ridden about how bad they made a person feel...and they go to that person for forgiveness...
it like makes you think... "aww, what did they ever do to me again?" and then that thing just disappears...hmm...maybe only with me? ok.
Peace izzle dizzles...fo' shizzle
loser-person - you just take everything too seriously...
