thanks jacknuts but the words in the first paragraph are the words of an anonymous reporter.
see those marks on the screen that you’ve always thought were indicators of motion ? well, when they’re used with words, we call them “quotation marks”. you should pay attention here; they can sometimes play an important role in a “trial”.
it’s work i know, i know. dammit it’s work. but trust me, it’ll be worth it. you see, this way you’ll develop a true appreciation of what you’re paying for. you know what they say: “the ignorant are the only consumer group who want the least for their money” or whatever.

jacknuts? Oh, my. Well, granted, I’m not as clever as you are with the fifth grade repartee (seeing as how I actually graduated that period some time ago, I’m a tad out of practice), but I think I can whip up a proper response:
First, you should have two ‘Shift’ keys on your keyboard. Before tossing out lessons I learned in second grade, make sure you’ve mastered the basics of first. It gives you a hell of a lot more credibility if your writing doesn’t resemble the tripe I can find scrawled in shit on cave walls.
Second, I’m not paying for anything. I’m not paying for your advice on how to interpret what I read, and I am definitely not paying (in any sense of the word) for posting my response to your knuckle-dragging attempt at coming off as astute.
McCracken, the principal, SAID IN A DEPOSITION that he was afraid the woman might get sexually assaulted.
Well, who said anything about rape? We can argue semantics. I can even point out that rape is a form of sexual assault. But that would be a waste of my time because you have yet to post anything that I would a) give a shit about, or b) give someone else’s shit about.
How about this: we brought up rape because the article mentioned rape. Regardless of what you may think (which, experience tells me you shouldn’t be doing anyhow), reporters don’t run around making shit up. There is an incredibly thorough process involved that ensures they don’t spread misinformation. If we have reason to believe the article is making shit up, it’s useless to even bother discussing it.
Here’s the plan: next time you feel like posting ANYTHING along the lines of your alternative scenario, just stick your head in a metal bucket and hit it with a hammer a few times. Then, you will see what we go through every time we stumble across the useless, mindfuck drivel you call your posts and opinions. Maybe it’ll change your perspective.
