Welcome to the internet, where sarcasm does not apply :\

@Doorman, it's the people who make their jokes too convincing that cause those situations. One of my teachers has a way of making his jokes nearly undetectable. He yells at people to stop doing this or doing that, when it wasn't really that bad, only to reveal it was a joke after the person gives a look of utter offense. This might be easy to see through after a few times, but he does it seriously every so often as well, so it's not always easy to gauge if he's joking or not. It's kind of annoying.

God dangit America...
I never heard about the Mexican-American war, until today, and from i saw, were pretty greedy, though, i can understand that some part of Texas was owned by rebels, they weren't part of USA, but by the time USA got into all of it, we took Mexican land, one by one, California,and others, but if we didn't we wouldn't have as much prosperity, but still, was the cost of the war worth it? I don't really believe it was worth to go through it all

This I can understand. If he sounds serious, then it's okay to be offended if you feel you are just, but for an argument to start over something as trivial as a misplaced insult or wellplaced for that matter, it's just too stupid to go ignored.
