Poetry is stupid (2 Viewers)

[m0ofin]

Of course, you're totally allowed to say what you think about Eliot but okay, we get the point that you (and all your alter ego's) don't like him and/or his poetry. Case closed. Get. Over. It.

Sorry, I realise how mean that sounds.

dw, we're not offended...

Live.fast, ignor4mus and I just love an argument, lol, its feels good to argue wif other people, especially when u rip them .....lol

 

[Tulipa]

my one and only point:
even if you think Eliot sucks, which in my opinion he doesn't, don't associate him with all poetry.

poetry does not suck, in fact it is the sophisticated and more refined version of prose.

the end.

yeh, live.fast, u should have named this thread Eliot sucks, or something along those lines, bu do not make the mistake into thinking that all poetry sucks.

It's just that Eliot becomes ambiguous in the "Hollow Men" at times, thru his overuse of allusions, and hence, meaning can be lost...if u have analysed the poem in detail, u would noe how amny texts, and authors he has references to

But yeh, poetry is alright in my opinion, i don't have a problem with it, its just that Eliot could be calssified as over ambitious in his use of techniques, especially allusion

 

[Tulipa]

i didn't do Eliot in high school, just read him recreationally.

i personally enjoy ambiguous poetry, there's something in the way a poet draws these obscurely beautiful parallels and allusions to create an image or make a point that really makes poetry stand out.

 

[SoulSearcher]

nice ignor4mus, couldn't have said it better myself.

Finally someone agrees wif me, that Elito's overuse of allusions is a credit to his stupidity.

Anhyway, like i said soulsearcher, we would think of a way to destroy ur post...feel free to fight back

let the argunment continue

GO THE AUSSIES

And by the way, Hollow Men is an infringement of copyright laws

Nah, we know that you guys hate T.S. Eliot, can't change your viewpoint, can't be fucked to change it.

quoted for it's truth

 

[live.fast]

So in conclusion, at the end of it all, considering all the evidence and arguments put forward, only one real conclusion can be drawn from all of this.

Eliot was a gay man =)

 

[ign0r4mus]

quoted for it's truth

opinion and truth are completely different things

Eliot was a gay man =)

He was married to 3 different women. Explain that

 

[ign0r4mus]

Straight men turn gay...what do you think happened with live.fast??

 

[SoulSearcher]

He was never straight in the first place

But all I'm asking is that you guys back up claims like that with actual proof.

 

[the pospinator]

Ok, here it is. This will finally end the argument, and prove Eliot's stupidity. This is something live.fast and I came up with. Live.fast proposed that we could prove that Eliot is gay, mathematically and algebraiclly...so here it is.

T.S Eliot =
limit as x approaches g
as z approaches y

(root 2) x (2x ²) x a x (d ( z²)
( x ) ( root 8) (dz ( 2 )


Where a is a constant

(the x in italics is a pronumeral, the normal x just means multiplied)

sorry for the cheapiness, couldn't upload a file, stupid browser

Do the working out, do the math, and u wll get the final answer....full stop, end of discussion, but feel free to flame, i'll just flame back...lol

 

[the pospinator]

let me explain the sum....

it is supposed to be.....

root 2/x multiplied by 2x squared/root 8 multiplied by a(constant) multiplied by the derivative of a half z squared

simplify....

u get (2x squared root 2)/ 2x root 2 multied by a, multiplied by z

simplify again..... it all cancels out

ur left with x multiplied by a multiplied by z

= xaz

now, sub in ur limiting factors, i.e: g for x and y for z

xaz= gay

therefroe, Eliot = gay

again, sorry for the cheapiness

Maths does not belong in a english thread!

 

[the pospinator]

But all I'm asking is that you guys back up claims like that with actual proof.

if u look thru the thread soulsearcher, u will see that we have made very valid statements, and not all the statements that are made can be backed up with proff as they are subjective....that means modified by individual bias... therefore, i am not surpirsed we haven't used proof, otherwise, i'd probably have a clone if he though the exact same way as me

besides, we don't need proof, anybody in their right mind noes that Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men" is ambiguous, and he overambitiously uses techniques such as allusions to make him sound smart...kinda like tautology, in a poetic way

maths rulz man

and by the way, they didn't listen to our comments, so they may as well listen to this, they forced me

Back up claims with actual proof? It was just sarcasm, again. It thought it was clearly evident. Jokes dont require proof as back up. Thats why they're jokes.

 

[SoulSearcher]

You can believe that your views are correct, but you cannot force your views upon anyone else. That is your problem.

On a forum, jokes that may seem obvious to you, may not be so obvious to someone else not in on the joke.
