Will SARCASM save the 21st century?

I think sarcasm can be great during appropriate times, like when you are with friends and family. But in some situations like at work or school sarcasm can just be counter productive. I understand what you mean by some arcastic people saying very wise and helpful things, but most people are not smart enough to say wise things, they just say smart alec things that instead of helping, just annoy. I don't think sarcasm will save the twenty first century, but if it is done right, maybe it will help make it more bearable.

I really do not see where sarcasm can be of any help to save the 21st century. To me sarcasm is negative and why would negativity help to save a century? I see nothing postitive about making sarcastic remarks. It merely shows egotistical thinking and a down fall of ettiquette and respect for tradition.
