I got a few..
People complaining about things they can change.
People who are addicts that blame the drugs and not themselves.
People who cry with the intent of gaining sympathy/pity.
Those TV religous shows where he 'heals' people.
Obese people who cry and complain because they're fat.
Black people who tell the muslims to go back home.
(It happened to them, and now they are dishing it out, which makes them no better than the whites who did it to them.)
People who act differently from who they are to be socially accepted.

Is there anything more annoying...

When someone proceeds to tell a story i have NO interest in and it takes every ounce of energy to act like i'm interested... Especially when someone says "Have you seen (such and such movie or tv show)?"  I say "No"  Then they proceed to tell a story about that movie or tv show i have not heard of and again it takes every ounce of energy to try and give a fuck...

You asked "Is there anything more annoying..."; if you think there might be something more annoying than the laughter of small children, then this means you think that their laughter is at least a little bit annoying. It's kinda like if someone says "You're gay.", and you respond with "Not nearly as gay as you.", you're saying that you're at least a little bit gay.

If you don't think child laughter is annoying, then it would be nonsensical for you to ask whether or not there is anything more annoying than it; this would be like you asking "Is there anything more black than white?" because, in your view, neither child laughter or whiteness are either annoying or black respectively to any degree.


If babies aren't annoying, then they can't be more annoying than anything else, just like how whiteness can't be more black than anything else because it isn't black; that you're asking a question about whether or not there is anything more annoying than child laughter means that you believe it is at least somewhat annoying.

You asked "is there anything more annoying than", not "is there anything that has a higher annoyance level than"; the former question implies that child laughter is at least somewhat annoying, while the latter does not.

For example, if you asked "Is there anything heavier than this rock?", you would be implying that this rock has at least some weight because you are asking if there are any other objects that, when their weight is compared to the weight of this rock, are shown to be heavier; this rock has to have at least some degree of heaviness in order for anything to be heavier than it. In order to determine whether or not one thing is heavier than something else, the weight of both things must be compared; it doesn't make sense to say, for example, that 1 gram is heavier than 0 grams, because you can't compare the weight of something that is 1 gram with the "weight" something that has no weight to be compared with, it's non-existent.


Asking "Is there anything that has a higher weight level than this rock?" would not be implying that the rock has at least some weight because a weight level can be zero.

I'm not really sure what you mean by 'negative annoyance'; I don't think there is something that can have an annoyance level that is a negative number, if that's what you mean.

You asked "is there anything more annoying than", not "is there anything that has a higher annoyance level than"; the former question implies that child laughter is at least somewhat annoying, while the latter does not.

For example, if you asked "Is there anything heavier than this rock?", you would be implying that this rock has at least some weight because you are asking if there are any other objects that, when their weight is compared to the weight of this rock, are shown to be heavier; this rock has to have some at least degree of heaviness in order for anything to be heavier than it. In order to determine whether or not one thing is heavier than something else, the weight of both things must be compared; it doesn't make sense to say, for example, that 1 gram is heavier than 0 grams, because you can't compare the weight of something that is 1 gram with the "weight" something that has no weight to be compared with, it's non-existent.


Asking "Is there anything that has a higher weight level than this rock?" would not be implying that the rock has at least some weight because a weight level can be zero.

It's not spoon-feeding to explain the error's in another person's argument, if that were true then debating would be nothing but back-and-forth spoon-feeding.

1. Everyone who posted in the thread knew exactly what OC meant by "more annoying than" except you, who for some reason found it extremely important to point out a possible ambiguity (which could be argued to be nonexistent in the first place).

2. More than and Higher than are synonymous. I fail to see how they are not synonymous.

3, Poid, your argument only makes sense in terms of "objective" facts and since whether something is annoying is subjective, your argument is irrelevant.

zappaisgod and I seemed to have interpreted what he meant by "more annoying than" similarly.

I never said they weren't, I said that "more annoying than" does not imply the same thing as "has a higher level of annoyance than".

If you were at a restaurant, do you think it would make sense to ask the waiter "Can you fill this cup with some more water?" if the cup was empty, and you haven't had any water yet?

I'm not sure what you mean here; my argument is that "more annoying than child laughter" implies that small children are at least somewhat annoying in the same manner that "heavier than this rock" implies that this rock has at least some weight.

The suffix '-er' turns a word into a comparative when added to an adjective; a comparative denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, which means that 'heavier' denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing or other entity has a property of weight that is greater or less in extent than that of another. Similarly, "more annoying than" denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing or other entity's property of annoyance is greater or lesser in extent than that of another ("more annoying than" is a comparative form of 'annoying', 'annoyinger' isn't a word).

All I want is evidence for your claims that I can work with, I don't want to be spoon-fed. Debates go well when each person explains their positions and disagreements clearly, and I like participating in debates that go well, regardless of whether or not my position turns out to be wrong.

yeah, but once you have been proved you wrong it's time for

things so you can continue to argue.

"once you have been proved you wrong"? :lol:


Obviously, if I have some rebuttals to express, then I don't agree that I've been proven wrong; debate is a back-and-forth process, and sometimes it can be tedious. If you don't like this, then you probably shouldn't debate, or if you just don't like when debate becomes tedious, then maybe you should just cop-out when that happens and stop participating. :shrug:

I don't give new definitions to things, period, and I definitely don't do that so I can continue to argue; I'd be curious to see what evidence you have for this accusation.

I enjoy debate, but you don't debate. You just question every detail
of a statement making a simple statement a fuckin battle, and you
take the idea projected by the statement and twist it for the
sake of arguing.

Instead of playing stupid all of the time, why don't you work with
the statement trying to interpret it's meaninig in a progressive
fashion, instead of causing stagnant debate over meanings of words
where everyone but you knows the intention. This isn't a gramatical
puzzle, it is a place to share ideas.

Stop asking for evidence for every single sentence. In many cases,
the evidence has already been posted, and in others the evidence is
not important.

You make trying to express an idea an impossible task, and your
style of "debate" just slows the progression of debate. It is
only tedious when you are involved

People's statements are often unclear and/or ambiguous, it's sometimes necessary to question certain details in order to clearly understand what is being said; I don't do this for the sake of arguing.

This is not just a place to simply share ideas, this is a debate forum; people often make statements that are unclear and/or ambiguous during debates, and it's not uncommon for them to be asked to clarify certain details.

I don't ask for evidence for literally every single sentence, and I don't recall asking for evidence that has already been posted; I'd like you to provide an example of me doing this. The evidence for a person's claim during a debate is always important, debate is a back-and-forth process of positing, defending, and challenging claims.

Why does the progression of a debate have to be fast, are you in a hurry or something? :lol:

I don't see why this is a bad thing, I guess most people skip over lots of details and/or make lots of assumptions about the meanings other people's statements without feeling the need to confirm those assumptions by asking questions about certain aspects of those statements. :shrug:

According 2 my newfound understanding, OC is totally wrong and Poid now has a valid point. I didn't reealize before that OC stated he never actually claimed children were annoying.

This thread was not about annoying things nor children, but a test to see who would jump to a false conclusion.

Any false conclusion, or a particular one?

Me, zappaisgod, and learningtofly all agree that you implied in the OP that you believe child laughter is annoying; is this the false conclusion you're talking about?

...my argument is that "more annoying than child laughter" implies that small children are at least somewhat annoying in the same manner that "heavier than this rock" implies that this rock has at least some weight.

The suffix '-er' turns a word into a comparative when added to an adjective; a comparative denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another, which means that 'heavier' denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing or other entity has a property of weight that is greater or less in extent than that of another. Similarly, "more annoying than" denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing or other entity's property of annoyance is greater or lesser in extent than that of another ("more annoying than" is a comparative form of 'annoying', 'annoyinger' isn't a word).

Being what?

You asked if there is anything more annoying than children laughing, and by saying "more annoying than" you are implying that children are annoying to some degree. Can you please elaborate on how "more annoying than" does not imply that children are annoying to some degree? And even if you can, the fact that everyone disagrees with you shows that your question is extremely ambiguous to the point where it is your duty to clarify what you mean.

EDIT: So let us assume that you were right and we jumped to a false conclusion? What is the point of showing that when given an extremely ambiguous question, people may misunderstand it?

This is less ambiguous. You cannot deny that it could be easily assumed you don't like children  :oldman:

It can be taken to mean that

A) Children are annoying
B) Children are not annoying.

You never clarified which one you meant.

This question makes no sense, photons have no mass, and nothing can be heavier than them.

I already described that 'heavier' is the comparative form of the word 'heavy', and how a comparative denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing, or other entity has a property or quality greater or less in extent than that of another; this means that 'heavier' denotes the degree or grade by which a person, thing or other entity has a property of weight that is greater or less in extent than that of another.

By this logic, if photons have no property of weight that is greater or less in extent than the property of weight of another object, then no object can be heavier than them.
