There might be a few who likes sarcasim but most see it as just being nasty or a bully that is not brave enough to say it straight out. Most scarcastic humor is bitter about something.

Hmm, not always. The scholars believe some sarcasm is extremely intelligent, and is best enjoyed by gifted academics.

I think like everything else in the world that is presented for debate, sarcasm should be ensconced with knowledge rather than ignorance.

This is rather neutral argument regarding sarcasm but it contains a brief analysis of anthropology and the evolution of survival via sarcasm.


Humans are fundamentally social animals. Our social nature means that we interact with each other in positive, friendly ways, and it also means we know how to manipulate others in a very negative way.

Neurophysiologist Katherine Rankin at the University of California, San Francisco, has also recently discovered that sarcasm, which is both positively funny and negatively nasty, plays an important part in human social interaction.

So what?

I mean really, who cares? Oh for God's sake. Don't you have anything better to do that read this column?

According to Dr. Rankin, if you didn't get the sarcastic tone of the previous sentences you must have some damage to your parahippocampal gyrus which is located in the right brain. 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.

Presumably, this is a pathology, which in turn suggests that sarcasm is part of human nature and probably an evolutionarily good thing.

How might something so, well, sarcastic as sarcasm, be part of the human social toolbox?

Evolutionary biologists claim that sociality is what has made humans such a successful species. We are masters at what anthropologists and others call "social intelligence." We recognize and keep track of hundreds of relationships, and we easily distinguish between enemies and friends.

More important, we run our lives by social calculation. A favor is mentally recorded and paid back, sometimes many years later. Likewise, insults are marked down on the mental score card in indelible ink. And we are constantly bickering and making up, even with people we love.

Sarcasm, then, is a verbal hammer that connects people in both a negative and positive way. We know that sense of humor is important to relationships; if someone doesn't get your jokes, they aren't likely to be your friend (or at least that's my bottom line about friendship). Sarcasm is simply humor's dark side, and it would be just as disconcerting if a friend didn't get your snide remarks.

It's also easy to imagine how sarcasm might be selected over time as evolutionarily crucial. Imagine two ancient humans running across the savannah with a hungry lion in pursuit. One guy says to the other, "Are we having fun yet?" and the other just looks blank and stops to figure out what in the world his pal meant by that remark. End of friendship, end of one guy's contribution to the future of the human gene pool.

Fast forward a few million years and the network of human relationships is wider and more complex, and just as important to survival. The corporate chairman throws out a sarcastic remark and those who "get" it laugh, smile, and gain favor. In the same way, if the chair never makes a remark, sarcastic people are making them behind his or her back, forming a clique by their mutually negative, but funny, comments. Either way, sarcasm plays a role in making and breaking alliances and friendship.

i have had 4 dates from this site....and iam still on here...hmmmm enough said

Didn't you all have to sign a confidentiality policy when you created your profile???

OMG! glad those people arent around my local walmart

They're everywhere, it's just wrong.

I haven't dated anyone from this site, but one does have to be careful.... seems there are a few want to be scammers.

spoken like a genius with profound insight into the human psyche.

O.K. I won't be sarcastic this time, it's called a dry twisted sense of humor, and if you can't get it it's because you don't have the ability to to transcend beyond the English you were taught in grade school. Some could do a lot worst at bullying you to the point of tears, but remember, I am a nice guy, even when I push back from being bulllyed.Read my info, I'm a neo-hippie-punk. While I didn't want to highlight the faulty reasoning in thier place, due to my hippie roots, the ever-expanding self-proclaimed psychologist make me wanna riot on the threads and set then straighten out thier path to enligtenment and expand thier little mind! If you just happen to be one of the neo-conservatives i was refferring to, don't worry, was just being sarcastic for sfts and giggiez-s are grear fun,
