Be careful how you choose to try and insult people you don’t know anything about. TH Stickman is definitely not an black and white guy. In some posts he has written negatively about Farang P4P in LOS and on the other hand he gives frequent updates about the bar scene and he earns money by adverts about P4P, but obviously hasn't left his consciousness back home, when moved to LOS... Acutally I like this kind of conflicted position, because it shows different sides of the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldFun Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 TH, "any definition of ironyâ€â€though hundreds might be given, and very few of them would be acceptedâ€â€must include this, that the surface meaning and the underlying meaning of what is said are not the same." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 WF, I prefer the definition the LP found and is discussed in the Board Bar: "Irony" is a substance commonly found in elephant tusks.In most cultures irony is a literary or rhetorical device, Irony from the Greek εἴÃÂÉν (fuck you), in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is generally understood. This form of irony was invented by smart people to distinguish themselves from stupid people and to give themselves time to run away before the American realises he has just been insulted.
