"I could care less..." This phrase will go down in future history books as an international joke, a saying in worldwide folklore, when our grandchildren's grandchildren are studying the 21st Century's Great Downfall of the United States. History teachers in the future will explain to students that the Great Downfall was triggered by the American people's impressive aptitude for speaking without thinking about what they're saying. |

I think the downfall of the western world isn't going to be triggered by any phrase at all. It will be from people who care too much about things they really shouldn't be bothering themselves with at all. |

It's sarcastic/question intonation. All this USA bashing makes you look like somebody's Jeremy Clarkson-apeing dad. |

"Those CRAZ-EE Americans! Thery're gonna blow up the WORLD! Not as mad as the japs though." It's all a bit Alan Partridge isn't it? |

BALDERDASH!!! Bill Burroughs- A hypocritical cunt. Move 2 spaces. "impressive aptitude for speaking without thinking about what they're saying." all of us are made of the same shit, everything we put our hands to is of the same shit. what makes you so different? |

oh, I forgot. language is always used literally without exeption. |

I'm totally with Willy here. Major pet peeve. |

"I could care less?" + little shrug. Makes total sense. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In a literalist's world this level of illiteracy can be tolerated. |
||||||||
|
|

n't? |

'swears': "It's sarcastic/question intonation. All this USA bashing makes you look like somebody's Jeremy Clarkson-apeing dad. 'swears': ""I could care less?" + little shrug. Makes total sense." no it doesn't you illiterate cunt. think about the meaning of the words. you stupid stupid stupid fucking idiot. if you want to imply that you don't give a fuck about something, then you should say "i couldn't care less" i.e. you care so little that you couldn't possibly care any less. do you get it now? fucking fucking fuck fuck fuck fuck fucking stupid fuck fucks, a whole nation of stupid fucks. the world is fucked. we're all doomed by these stupid fucking idiots. |

this is why i troll here... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Of course I understand that "I couldn't care less." is the intended meaning. That's what sarcasm is: the opposite of what you mean. You seem to be the one having trouble understanding, there's no need to throw a flid about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're trying to tell me that all the americans who say 'i could care less' are doing it to be sarcastic. that is quite definitely bullshit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It always seems to be said with a little question intonation like they're slighty incredulous about the idea of taking something less seriously. It sounds cool anyway. |

Your screen name is an American writer. Any attack you could make against american popular culture could be just as easily made against any western country. Particularly Britain, as since Thatcher, we have become increasingly Americanised. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is my real name, thatcher was a cunt, and finally, no the same attacks could not be made against any other country because even Jimmy Bungooloogonga in the deepest jungle of Borneo can speak better English than most Americans. |

as much as I'd like to believe swears theory is correct, sadly it is not. I live in 'merica and that's how we do it here. |

i like to have sex with goats |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and do you understand how it is grammatically incorrect? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, yes, I certainly do. please judge my character more accurately |
||||||||
|
|

Minor peeve, but a peeve to be sure. I'm more peeved at people who write "definately". I suppose I should be glad that they're writing at all instead of grunting and scratching their asses with the keyboard like Chuck Klosterman. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's not grammatically incorrect. symantically, maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's a weird peeve. elaborate please |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you are right it's stupid anyway "I could care less" is like someone saying it who thinks they're really clever for saying "yes, that's right, i could care less more than i do!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe you just don't get sarcasm like we do |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I could care less about this thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, so it's not 'definately', nor is it 'rediculous', nor is it 'i could care less', nor is it 'i could give two shits', nor is it 'symantically'. in fact, i now firmly believe that America's schools must be the worst in the western world. |
