We're Done Here

[Fiairflair]

If a reasonable person were to read your discussion and see the falsity of the other debaters' argument, you've succeeded.
If they were to read your discussion and see the truth of your argument, you've succeeded.
If, through having a discussion, you see the falsity of your own argument (and you admit it), you can abandon the discussion with your dignity intact.

How convinced or otherwise an irrational debater is by your argument is irrelevant. However, there is no time when saying 'we're done here' casts you in a good light.

Ha, love the last panel

I never would have guessed. >.>

On a completely unrelated note, I love your avatar. Where's it from?

I'm equally interested, it looks vaguely familiar.

Hmm.

Damn, I hate my memory >_<

*sigh*

It's true. As much of a badass I wish I felt like for saying that, I know I'm just pussing out.

It's okay, that guy is a hipster, he probably deserved it.

I was about to say the same thing. Is it wrong of me to want to punch that guy? He's got such a punchable face.

See, I was going to say "Yes, it is wrong" because he has a fantastic moustache, but now that you've pointed it out, I kinda want to punch it too.

OT: Also it makes me laugh whenever I see some version of "We're done here" whether it be here or on other places. For the most part, you've just admitted you were too stupid to continue discussing the topic, and were idiotic for arguing in the first place.

In all fairness, there are times when you are having a conversation, either electronically or in person and the other person says something so incomprehensibly stupid, that you just recognize that there is no longer any point in continuing. I mean what are you going to do in that case? Carefully explain why they are dumb as rocks? No, you are going to say "We're done here." and walk away, it is more respectful than verbally tearing the other guy a new one.

Phrases like like this (alongside "discussion over", "I'm done with you", etc.) always amused me
I always considered that they mean "I'm too stupid/ignorant to continue this discussion and too proud to admit it"

Some may say that they can also mean "I don't have time for this", but I disagree
"I don't have time for this" usually is the phrase that means "I don't have time for this"

Then what's the phrase that means "I am very disturbed by what you are saying, but I don't want to tell you to your face that you're a creepy ass mo-fo for saying what you're saying, and I need to be slghtly forceful here otherwise you'll keep bugging me."?

...Cause that's kinda what I use the phrase "We're done here" for.

Other then that, I don't really have anything else to say yet so... I'll just go sit in this corner and cry.

(Not that Forums have Corners which can be sat in)

1.Please don't cry. There are more mentally healthier alternatives to crying. Drinking for example. Or killing a-holes who wrecked your life in childhood. OR killing a-holes who wrecked your life in childhood AFTER getting drunk. [sub]Because that's usually goes well...[/sub]
2.There are corners in this forum [sub]but they are few and usually occupied[/sub] [sub][sub][sub]sometimes by me [/sub][/sub][/sub]

So punchable.


With his hipster glasses and his hipster facial hair.

So very, very punchable.

Is it really worth punching someone over because he/she liked things before they got popular?

Besides, he looks like a young version of the Pringles logo.

OT: That punchline is cheating. Most people sound like this when they say something "snarky" on the Internet!

Oh well, it still made me laugh.

Yes.


So very, very, very, yes.

All the yes.

Did anyone else mentally add "Cave Johnson" to the beginning of this thread's title? Because I was somewhat disappointed that there was no actual Cave Johnson.

 

[Meatspinner]

Is there like a condescension quota you guys have to meet or is this just a theme month?

Love the last panel btw

Did you seriously did an expectation vs reality joke? I expect more of you than retarded 9gag worthy jokes. You can do better than that.

We did seriously did.

Haha, guess I should pay more attention. But seriously, jokes about Canadians being nice and other memes are rarely funny.
The cake is a lie, amiright?

I'm not going to lie - I use the "I'm done with you" card every once in a while. However, I think people are mistaken when they say that it's primarily used when one no longer has a legitimate argument. As an example, I typically use it when the other person absolutely refuses to actually attack the argument rather than just insult me or argue a different point entirely and / or when they blatantly are ignoring everything I'm actually saying. It can get really old to argue with someone who can't actually keep on topic, so leaving with a simple "if you're not going to actually counter the points I'm making, then I'm done here" seems reasonable imho.

Captcha: "make a bee-line". Should I start running now?

I disagree on one count.

The MAJORITY of the time, "We're done here" or equivalent is used in an infantile fashion, though there are rare occasions where it isn't. I can think of maybe one instance where it was used justifiably, but a great many instances where it was used by an idiot.
