Did I seriously need to put a /s at the end of my comment?
In this day in age ... Yes, it's almost required.
I felt like you were being sarcastic but I've encountered more than enough people in my life to know that there are people out there who fully believe in what you sarcastically said.
I can't tell any more who is being sarcastic, who is ignorant, who is willfully antagonistic or who is sarcastic anymore. There are far too many people out there who state unrealistic ideas who find like minded people to reinforce one another.
Whenever I write a sarcastic comment on a forum like this, no matter how clearly it is for me or even others .... I always note (sometimes very clearly) that I'm being sarcastic.
There are people out there who will understand your sarcasm.
And there are people out there who will turn your sarcasm into prophesy or gospel.
