You're taking offence to an imaginary slight and expect me to feel bad over it. I don't. Deal with it.
No, you don't understand my point.
Imagine this. I kidnap you. Then I rape you repeatedly over the next 2 days. After you've escaped, you report to the authority of what I've done. How would you feel if everyone you report to says "what's the big deal? It was a personal dispute. Go settle it with him."
Yeah, technically speaking, rape is a personal dispute just like technically speaking leading a gang of boys in your senior year to assault another boy is "something". But by describing it as something, you continue to try to make it sound like it was the same thing as taking a walk in the park.
Anyway, I'm done talking with you. It is obvious you refuse to see things specifically for what they are. To you, leading a gang of boys to assault a suspected homosexual is "something" and gang rape is "personal dispute". I'm wasting my time talking to you.
Once again, you provide no evidence to support your case, so you resort to acting like a child.
Huh? You mean the evidence that the 5 boys Romney lead all remember independently down to the detail of what happened? You mean the several eye witnesses that the reporters tracked down all described the same thing?
Or are you talking about Romney's memory?
I've already pointed it out. Leading a gang of boys to assault another boy is not a regular everyday thing, like putting on your pants in the morning. 40 years later, and everyone involved minus the dead victim still remembers right down to the detail, everyone but the leader of the gang.
You try to argue that it is entirely possible that Romney indeed doesn't remember SOMETHING from 40 years ago. And you keep repeating this SOMETHING from 40 years ago, refusing to acknowledge that this something happens to be Romney leading a gang of boys to assault another boy during SENIOR YEAR in high school.
Forget for a moment that I'm not a kid. Actually, you have my permission to assume I'm 15. I don't care. You seem to think leading a gang of boys to assault another boy has the same level of effect on people as any other "something".
If you have a daughter and she gets raped, would you ever describe what happened to her as a "personal dispute"? Why on god's green earth would you describe a gang of boys assaulting another boy with a lethal weapon "something"?

Weren't we discussing Mitt Romney?
You kidding? With all the Obama haters out there, romney could very well be the next president.
Hm... I recently looked into the mirror and noticed there's a big-ass scar on my face. My parents told me when I was 7 I fell from the roof, injuring my face. But that was over 20 years ago and since all events no matter how dramatic were the same, I can't remember it happening.

I know, I saw.
This is exactly the reason why I don't believe in democracy. Too many dumbasses out there.

Ok... so calling leading a gang of boys to assault another boy leading a gang of boys to assault another boy rather than "something" is dishonest? What about calling gang rape gang rape instead of "personal dispute"?
Anyway, I'm done here. I agree to disagree. In my world, leading a gang of boys to assault another boy is leading a gang of boys to assault another boy just like gang rape is gang rape.
In Evlreala's world, leading a gang of boys to assault another boy is "something" and gang rape is "personal dispute".
Have a nice day to you.

Saying that this is my stance is dishonest, are you having trouble following along? QUOTE WHERE I SAID THIS WAS MY STANCE. Was that clear? Do you need me to explain it further to you?
Would you like me to go back and quote you every time you referred to Romney leading a gang of boys to assault another boy as "something from 40 years ago"? Even now, you refuse to acknowledge it for what it was. You continue to insist on referring to it as "something from 40 years ago", which gives the impression that it was just an every day thing like taking a walk in the park or drinking out of the drinking fountain. It was something from 40 years ago. How many of us remember just any regular ole something from 40 years ago?
Yeah yeah yeah, I said I was done. This will be my last post. You win. I can't be as hard headed as you are.
