Is not what you said. Nor was it your intent.
uhmm...actually that would be why I said:
I take the above back, THIS part (with a slight tweak) would be one of the greatest ironic posts I've seen in a while, here it is with the tweak
I then posted the same quote with the changes I made:
When you're regularly being screamed at, threatened, harassed, attacked, even murdered, by police, there is no other reasonable reaction but to become more wary and suspicious of the police.
being careful to post the changes I made in red, so as to show I changed some words from the original post.
You employed the tired and juvenile tactic of stealing someone else's words, changing one or two, and then attempting to pass the result off as an original thought.
No, because I pointed out any time I changed something from the original post. I'm sorry you didn't understand what I was doing, but it's actually pretty standard way of pointing out something that may have escaped the attention of the original poster.
If your intent was to ask "maybe that's a two way street in this situation" then that is what you could have and should have said.
uhmmm...if you re-read my post that's what I did. Sorry you misunderstood what happened.
It truly would not have been that hard.
Don't worry, apparently it was only hard for one person in the thread to understand. And I think that's been explained now.
But then you wouldn't have been able to employ the Johnny Bravo defense.
I'm sorry, I've been through this thread now a couple of times and I can't seem to find any poster named "Johnny Bravo" in it. Did you post that in the wrong thread? I know that can happen when people are posting in multiple threads.
Also: The post did make a point. NerdGirl123 made a point in the post she created.
Agreed, I merely pointed out that her point was actually a two way street, not one way.
Because you truly struggle to come up with your own.
Well, not in this case, it was pretty obvious her point could just as easily be applied to the other side of the argument.
