ellauri029.html on line 918: The passage sounds sarcastic. It says one thing while meaning another in a way that makes the hearers look foolish. But Paul’s method was not meant as a personal insult. The goal was to grab the readers’ attention and correct a false way of thinking. In other words, Paul’s words are satirical, but not sarcastic. They are spoken in love to “beloved children.”
ellauri029.html on line 920: Other passages in the Bible that use satire include Isaiah’s ridicule of idol-makers (Isaiah 40:19-20), God’s taunting of Egypt (Jeremiah 46:11), and Elijah’s gibes directed at the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:27). Jesus Himself used satire in the form of hyperbole when He told His hearers to “take the plank out of your own eye” (Matthew 7:5).
ellauri029.html on line 924: Sarcasm, on the other hand, is not appropriate. Sarcasm has at its core the intent to insult or to be hurtful with no corresponding love or wish for well-being. Instead, the goal of sarcasm is to belittle the victim and elevate the speaker. Jesus warned against such harsh, unloving words in Matthew 5:22. Our words should be helpful and edifying, even if they are uncomfortable to the hearer.
ellauri029.html on line 926: We should speak the truth with loving intent (Ephesians 4:15), avoiding “foolish talk or coarse joking” (Ephesians 5:4). We should speak in such a way that the hearer will understand our motivation. And we should never be malicious or cruel. Carefully worded irony may be fitting, but malicious sarcasm is not.
ellauri052.html on line 597: He was a man who convinced and hypnotized not only others but himself. He seemed to possess a number of characters which he changed like masks as the need arose, now he was a benevolent pastor … now a magician holding sway over human souls … His sole purpose and aspiration was to obtain possession of all things from below, by his own titanic devices, and to break through by a passionate effort to the realm of the spirit… He may have possessed oratorical gifts, but he lacked the true gift and feeling for words. His speech was a kind of magical act, aimed at obtaining control over his hearers by means of gestures, by raising and lowering his voice, and by changes in the expression of his face. He hypnotized his disciples, some of whom even fell asleep.

ellauri077.html on line 808: It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different. Statements like Marshal Petain was a true patriot, The Soviet press is the freest in the world, The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution, are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: class, totalitarian, science, progressive, reactionary, bourgeois, equality.

ellauri367.html on line 143: Charles Montgomery Plantagenet Schicklgruber "Monty" Burns, jota yleensä kutsutaan Mr. Burnsiksi tai C. Montgomery Burnsiksi, on toistuva hahmo animaatiotelevisiosarjassa Simpsonit, jonka ääninä on alun perin Christopher Collins ja tällä hetkellä Harry Shearer. Hän on enimmäkseen ilkeä, kiero, ahne ja varakas Springfieldin ydinvoimalan omistaja ja siten Homer Simpsonin pomo. Häntä avustaa lähes kaikkina aikoina Smithers, hänen uskollinen ja hurskas avustaja, neuvonantaja, uskottu henkilö ja salainen katamiitti. Hän on 81-120-vuotias, vaikka joskus vihjataan, että hän on paljon vanhempi.
ellauri367.html on line 180: Nimet Plantagenet ja Schickelgruber näyttävät viittaavan Plantagenetin huoneeseen ja Alois Schickelgruberiin, Adolf Hitlerin isään. Näyttelijä Christopher Collins äänesti herra Burnsia, mutta hänet korvattiin pian Harry Shearerillä, koska Sam Simonin mielestä Collinsin kanssa "on vaikea työskennellä".
xxx/ellauri103.html on line 107: Viime aikoina on keskusteltu kiihkein äänenpainoin siitä, kuka saa esittää ja ketä. Äskettäin Simpsonit-sarjassa vuosikymmeniä työskennellyt ääninäyttelijä Harry Shearer siirtyi sivuun (siirtyi toiseen palveluun) tohtori Hibbertin roolista, koska tämä on musta. Piirrossarjassa valkoihoinen ei voi enää toimia värillisen hahmon äänenä. Kirjassaan Krohn kysyy, kuuluuko nykyvaatimuksiin se, että esimerkiksi pedofiilia esittävän näyttelijän pitää olla itsekin pedofiili. Monet neekerithän on esimerkixi pedofiilejä, esim. se takavuosien kiltti setähahmo sitcomista (Bill Cosby). Aika samannäköinen kuin Bing Crosby, mutta ruskeampi.
