Joel Osteen is so rich. His faith must be strong. Maybe if I buy his books I can be rich, too.

In my Moby-Dick class, we're discussing the scene where Ahab throws his pipe into the ocean.

A guy literally raises his hand and says
>I THINK IT WAS SOMETHIN OTHER THAN TOBACCO IN THAT PIPE!!11 KEKEKEK :PPPPP

The instructor had no idea what to do. She just paused for a second and then called on someone else.

That thread got derailed rather quickly.

>But user, they made the NYT bestsellers list. They must be a great author.

>Asian American female author
>Book is called "The Rice Farmer's Daughter" or some shit like that.

>I read poetry

Pretentious as an argument against art

>I think prose is better than poetry

>It was too weird

its better if it rhymes though

>>I can't into poetry

it was so creepy/its not big enough

Anyone who is voting for Trump and thinks anyone who criticizes Trump must be voting for Clinton. This entire demographic is honestly cancer from the ground up.

>its so long

I bet you support Clinton

I bet you support Trump :O

Ad hominem fallacy

Strawman

jesus fuck. Clinton shill spotted.

This is the first day on Veeky Forums where I've seen someone calling the alt-right annoying and cancerous a clinton voter. It's a new one, I want you to keep using it.

Could you rewrite that so it's readable?

Today, the twenty third of september in the year of our lord twenty sixteen, I have found that it is the first day I saw an user claim

>"anyone who agrees the alt right is very cancerous (consensus) must be voting for clinton because they don't agree with the alt right."

It is a new line of trickery and I suggest you employ it more often.

He was right, Ahab smoked powdered whale bone.

I'm merely making a little joke friend. Go to sleep Zack

>>It's not poetry, it doesn't even rhyme

is it not 100x more pleasing to read poetry with a consistent rhyme scheme?
exceptions can be made for works such as paradise lost however 90% of contempary poetry is meaningless garbage

True, but some people think that poetry isn't poetry if it doesn't rhyme.

>90% of contemporary poetry is meaningless garbage
This is a true statement regardless of rhyme, and so doesn't really bear on the topic at hand. Probably no fewer poets are writing unrhymed verse than poets did 50 yrs ago.

Also, just shilling here, but pretty much any Wallace Stevens poem is a counterargument to pleasure-->rhyme

you faggot, rhyme is only one way to form a consistent frame for your poem. Meter is much more important.

>meter is much more important
i'm going to say that they're just as important as each other desu

>read? hah naw I dont have time to do that [proceeds to talk about watching a 5 hour football game]

Why can't people spend time the way they want to, you pseud. If football is more important than reading then they do not have time to read. I know on sundays I'm not reading when redzone is on

He's joking, if you couldn't pick that up

>assuming prose isn't better than poetry?
>having to suffer through those forced rhymns in poetry rather than just listening to the story of a prose
>being this much of a rhyming cuck

>i've got so many books, i wonder if i'll ever read them haha

>short books are better than long ones since there is more good concentrated on less pages

pleb tier statement central

Are you voting for the dominatrix? Fuck off back to lebbit.

rhyme is nice

but the Aeneid doesn't rhyme

so poetry doesn't need to rhyme

I even made this point by giving paradise lost as an example

>I don't get it? He just whined the whole time. Why is this book so hyped?

If I hear this, instantly dropped

I just read philosophy, grew out of the whole fiction thing. I mean it's all just lies and make-believe

the joke is that philosophy is also fiction

>take class on MD

>girl raises hand in class
>teacher doesn't notice
>she says excuse me
>teacher looks up
>she says"
>I looked it up after reading, and apparently the coffee chain Starbucks is named after the character Starbuck from Moby-Dick!
I've never seen a more disappointed look on a teacher's face

>Anyone who is voting for Trump and thinks anyone who criticizes Trump must be voting for Clinton

Also, Trump is the www.reddit.com r/thedonald IRC raid faux non-profit shill candidate just as much as Hillary.

You're a fucking idiot and I implore you to graduate high school, and take a break from posting for a long time. Take a vacation.

poertry that doesnt rhyme is garbage and requires the most minuscule amount of thought to make.

>in my moby dick class
>moby dick class

>inb4 johnson supporter

Thabks for giving me loads of money jesus as a good christian I deserve earthly rewards

Pleb.

This is truly what Jameson meant when he said
>let's face it: comedy is a dead artform
>now tragedy on the other hand -- *chuckles* -- that's funny!

I graduated high school a decade ago, and I'm not even from America you roody poo.

Yeah Shakepseare is a shit no-talent hack.

I love this strawman.

Not the same poster, but I'm pretty sure his image is meant to reinforce his post. Unless there's some post-avant ironycore posting going on.

>>If you don't want to vote for an orange moron or an unethical witch, you're just being pretentious.

Alright bud.

Do you want to build a strawman...

> i post on Veeky Forums

What book are you referring to?

>all women in literature aren't readable, I will not read a book with women in it

I second this.

Probably Catcher in the Rye?

...

It's like poetry, it rhymes

>its style over substance

>zenos paradox was solved with calculus

>aristotle is better than plato

playdoh "the forms" man is eh hack

How to spot a real loser on Veeky Forums is this statement here

yeah, your right. youre probably smarter than plato! cheers for your 2000 year contribution to philosophy

Those NYC jesuit schools just don't make literature students like they used to

Why are you criticizing people who don't support one of two candidates. If you like Hillary Clinton and think she would make a good president, vote for her. If you like Donald Trump and think he will make America great again, vote for him. But don't shit one people who don't support either, they're not being pretentious pseuds, they just don't want either of them to be their President.

tl:dr Why would I vote for someone I don't support?

Why are you criticizing people who don't support one of two candidates?*

False dichotomy

Next.

tfw you are literally a spectrum of the character in OP's greentext,

Why are you getting offended?

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING THOUGH?

This is such an enigma! I am intruiged user, please give me at least a hint as to how to interpret your musings!

Why are you asking a question based on an incorrect premise?
