You have no life!

[Dragunai]

Your right!
I'm a ghost and I am here to haunt you!
WoOoOoOoOOoO

I'm sure this kind of thread has probably be done before. Anyone who spends a great deal of their time playing video games has probably heard this more than once. But, I discovered a great counter argument.

If someone tells you that you have no life, simply turn around and say that they are the one that doesn't have a life. If you don't spend your time doing exactly what I am doing it means you have no life.

Allow me to explain. Look at the "life" of a person whom says you have no life. By their definition what they spend their time doing constitutes what a "life" must consist of. So therefore if you don't spend your time doing exactly what they are doing it means you have no life. Turn that around on them, tell them that if you don't spend your time doing exactly what I'm doing, it means YOU have no life.

I hope that made sense somewhat.

When they say you have no life they mean you have no social life, so none of what you said made sense

simply turn around and say that they are the one that doesn't have a life. .

The best example of this, when I went with my friends to a WOW midnight launch, and the whole town was full of people going to clubs this girl went past in a car and shouted "Sad, get a life"
Then this guy in the line shouted, "your the sad one, get an online life"

The irony was funny but he didn't seem to think he said anything weird.

Similar situation at an arcade/lan all-nighter. (Very rare occurance and understandably wildly popular with local gamers in those days of dial-up) Every 5 minutes someone would unsteadily lurch down the street from one of the pubs and yell incoherently at the closed door about how we were wasting our lives, were pathetic losers, and should get a real hobby... I won $20 in a running bet that the next one would puke all over himself whilst delivering his diatribe...

Moral is, don't bother defending yourself against someone who probably looks even stupider than you.

i think you stop having a life when you stop doing what you love.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

I myself always use this comeback: *You have no life!* - "...And?"

'nuff sed?

Seconded, it confuses them because they thing you'll get worked up about it.

 

[Simeon Ivanov]

I'm a gamer, I have many lives.

You win.

Exactly, then the moment they finish saying something else you just say 'and' again, then they get pissed off. XD

I'm a gamer, I have many lives.

You win.

And I thought mine was good! I second, the motion is moved, he/she wins.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

I just agree with them.

"Yup! I have no life!"

This usually makes them shut up because they either think they have won, or they can't think of a way to mess with you past that point.

this just about, honestly if you live up any kind of insult and destroy it back in their face they wont know what to do about it

 

[RanD00M]

I'm a gamer, I have many lives.

Exactly what I was gonna write. And I have actually used this in an argument against someone to which they replied "It's not the same." where I responded "Not the same to what exactly? That is completely out of context." and they had nothing to say to it.

 

[Zeema]

i usally say

'I may not have a life, But at least im taller.'

[then they go into a ALL CAPS RAGE]

then i say 'U MAD BRO'

 

[Rabish Bini]

I'm a gamer, I have many lives.

...marry me?

 

[The Unworthy Gentleman]

Trolls don't work by logic, so this doesn't work. Try it, you'll just get laughed at for trying to use logic on them, you actually have to accept their abuse and say you're comfortable with it. If you do that, then they lose.

 

[drbarno]

I'm a gamer, I have many lives.

I may not have any lives, but I have continues!

 

[gbemery]

I just say,"I am alive, so I must therefore have some kind of aforementioned life of which you speak."

 

[Ace of Spades]

I take the comment 'you have no life' as a compliment because the kind of person who tells me I have no life wrongly defines the concept of having a life, and is making a desperate jab at me with an uncreative insult.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

Wait, that's an insult...?
MY ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN A LIIIE! D:

Seriously, though, the best response is to either ignore them, or agree. If you agree, they'll pretty much stop. :3

 

[Dark_Fuzion14]

I just turn around and punch em'.

If that doesnt shut them up, then just knock em' out.

...Of course you cant do this if your male and it was a female who said it.

 

[monkey_man]

Problem with this logic is that people who shout 'no life loser' and 'u gots no life' are trolls. And upon being responded to they will either laugh in your face, or go like 'i hav girlfriend and job blablablahahaha'. (and for the same reason as above, replying that you also are in possession of a girlfriend or job will result in again being laughed at)

Best counter argument: Remain quiet.

Basically, a stupid shout towards you not based in fact or logic should not be responded to by a logical answer. It should be ignored. 8|

But I HAVE a girlfiend and a job! And I game as long as I can! What do???

Anyway, the people who say you have no life, probably use twitter or something. Try telling them to stop using that, see how well they fare. They won't like that.

 

[OldNewNewOld]

"I'm living my life as I wish, unlike you. I'm living my life more than you are. It's you who has no "life"." *gives the 'I won' look*

 

[Kris015]

I've been told that a lot of times, and I don't even play that much

It's pretty annoying actually..
