Ever said anything controversial for the sakes of it?

When someone Boo's a person it about displeasure with that person. So when Pepper posted that he outwitted the trainee & was far superior to the person that tried to antagonize him it was a inverted way of congratulating pepper for being smarter than his antagonist. To be clear the antagonist wasn't intelligent enough to debate pepper.

It's a take off of an old joke

In Rome during the days of gladiators a slave was buried up to his neck. A lion was let loose, came racing across the field, leaped and narrowly missed the slaves head. The slave tilted his head back and tried to bite the lion's gonads. When that happened the crowd cried boo boo fight fair

I never intentionally say anything to stir people up, but at the same time feel that everything I say is controversial. It depends on who's listening and how they interpret what I've said. I always get a reaction, for better or for worse.

I'm not a he. Antagonist is a good word as I was just sitting minding my own business when the aide to the consulate sat down at my table and proceeded to engage me in a debate. I was a young girl, a student; he was close to 10 years my senior and a working person with an up and coming job. Thank you for congratulating me, a she, as being smarter than my antagonist. I think the antagonist was intelligent, but lacked the facts to indulge himself against me, a mere girl. It surprised him to be defeated. Maybe he learned something, like be prepared when you open your yap and start up with a kid. You might end up surprised. He did.

I never had a room burst into spontaneous applause for me before or since, a standing ovation. I was very proud of this and still am. It was a beautiful moment in my life. Like winning an Academy Award or somesuch.

Okay, so you added to your post without an ETA.

I always enjoy a good anecdote about ancient Rome (no kidding). Thanks.
 
The thread looks as though it needs a boost, so instead of posting a highly controversial thread, likely to rock the boat of quite a few forum members, I'll stick it in here where I may get away with it more easily, (here goes 🤬 ):

"There must be many wimmin out there gettin desprit after all this time!"

A friend of mine has said as much very often, (or so called friend, as I'd pity any woman foolish enough to entertain him!), but it is a fact, not just for women of course, but due to lockdown and social distancing, many people have their love lives, or potential love lives, on hold.

We cant go off to a "tea dance", disco, nightclub, etc. where many a relationship might start, singles party too, all these things closed down, and even the supermarket where many couples re supposed to meet, you're maybe wearing a mask, and not many folks allowed in, or miserable when we're there, due to having to queue up outside and avoid one another inside, or get nagged for not following ll the rules!

There you are, I'm expecting there to be someone out there "desprit" enough to give me a glance, what do you think of my chances hey(?) (y)(n):unsure::rolleyes: !
 
Me desperate? Far from it @grahamg. I'm having the time of my life! Instead of getting pursued, I choose to subvert the dominate/dominant paradigm. Haha This time, I'm going to choose the perfectly imperfect (in my eyes) regardless of other's standards. I'm after character and personality, not so much on the packaging. He's nowhere in the horizon yet but I know he's out there.

ETA: I'm channeling my bad girl persona...LOL

Was it the lyrics to John Lennon's song "Imagine", you feel you may be thinking are harmful, (and thus this is controversial?)?
I will have to look at them to refresh my mind, but there is the exhortation to " imagine there's no heaven" of course. :unsure: .

You have to either run the words "subvert the dominate paradigm" past me again, or allow me to try to check the meaning of the phrase(?).
I get this message though, "cross you off the desprit" list! .:)
 
What I meant was changing the common set of beliefs or norms set by society where men pursue women. If women can turn the tables and make the choosing instead of waiting to be chosen, that makes men and women equal.

"I knew that", (well had an inkling!).
Would you be brave enough to go up to someone and ask them out though?

That's close to " thinking outside the box", or "subverting dominant paradigms"! :unsure:.

That's a good question. I haven't found one interesting enough to ask him out directly. However, since I have the gift of gab, I can give subtle hints. 🤭 If he can't get the hint, I lose interest quickly.🤔😐
 
I think that it happens a lot on sites like this, that some people say something just to provoke strong reactions.
Yes, I have posted things which I know will cause extreme responses, but mainly to show how narrow-minded and unreasonable some people are.

I think the answer therefore might be " no", if you don't mind my saying, or I'm not putting words into your mouth too much(?)
Try it on one of those thicker guys unable to take a hint perhaps(?).:unsure: .
