are you?


You post a story on a message board, then get irritated at the possibility of an opinion different than yours?

Life must be really hard for you.

You are posting "news" from blogs. Anyone can post anything on a blog. Doesn't make it true or unbiased.

If you're "just posting the news" then why say that these teachers are typical liberals? And this isn't news, it's a blog post on some website. This didn't make news anywhere.

You're really backpedaling right now.
Its been posted on 2 news sites that I saw...probably more if I looked harder.I am not back pedaling just don't see how ANYONE can take the side of the teachers in this case...you are.

See, now I KNOW that you are desperate because you're making stuff up. I never took the side of the teachers and you know that. If you're gonna respond by calling me a liar, quote me where I said the teachers were right.

I said the kid was lying and this probably didn't happen. Then I said IF this did actually happen, there should be consequences. If that's taking the teachers' side, then the sides are pretty messed up.

Right, high school kids would never lie.

So that's taking the side of the teachers? Really, you thought no one would question a blog post on a random website? Are you BS'ing me here? You thought it unfathomable that someone would be a little suspicious of an online post that could be by anyone who claims he was consistently pulled aside by his teacher and told how wrong he was? And that this same student decided to come online rather than go to the proper authorities? Is that what you're saying?

No, taking the teachers' side would be believing the kid and supporting the teachers.

If saying the kid is a liar is taking the teachers' side, I guess calling out the boy who cried wolf is defending wolves. I guess saying someone who claims their car was stolen to collect insurance on it a liar is defending thieves. I guess calling BS on someone who said they saw a UFO is defending aliens. Need I go on?

Complete deflection. The fact that adults lie has nothing to do with whether this kid is lying. Try again.

Putting aside your hyperpartisanship, who's word holds more weight? A college educated adult or a pubescent high school freshman?

Take all the time you need.
