the fact that you can't is itself an indicator as to what has happened in American culture, in general.

Not to pile on the commenter, but I agree. If you have to ask if this is satire you either lack experience (most likely) and will later in life understand; or you lack self-awareness and will never understand.

I can't tell if you are commenting on him being part of a clueless American culture, in general, or that his quandary is because the aforementioned culture problem.

yes

That statement adds literally nothing to the conversation. Very much like your parent statement.

If you're going to comment, can you at least try to inform or challenge me/others?

comment I responded to asked a question in the form of "A or B". I evaluated their question logically.

what do you think I owe you in terms of "informing or challenging" you? at some point you'll have to actually interpret my comments yourself and figure out what I meant. how explicit do I need to be?

we're talking about indicators that point to what has happened to American culture and society. A comment expressing confusion as to whether or not "behave like reasonable adults" is a satirical statement is quite revealing, don't you think?

An answer of "yes" to an A or B question is non-sensical and unproductive.

so what? a little non-sense is fun.
