Sarcasm can be hard to detect in a written medium like this, even without the language and cultural barriers. So it's not at all surprising that we sometimes get meanings misconstrued in discussions with mindful. |

I gotta say I am really disappointed in the insensitivity and rudeness displayed towards mindfulcoug by many of you. It really is shameful.

And I still don't see your point on Fox News either. Quite clearly, they took what he said out of context, then used his quote with the infamous ... preceding it to fit within their newly defined context. |

WaPo: "But of late there have been signs that the commander of U.S. forces might be preparing something more generally positive. Clyburn said that would be 'a real big problem for us.'" Fox: "Democratic House Whip James Clyburn says a positive report from Iraq forces commander General David Petraeus to Congress in September would be — 'a real problem for us.'" Quite clearly, Fox accurately reported the gist of the article. Your nitpicking skills have failed you, once again.

I make no claim as to that being the grandest model to operate on. Perhaps the French model is the better one. Let others run you over and then have someone who operates on the other model come in and save your butt. |
