98. HER condescension?

Fri Nov 25, 2016, 01:07 PM

Nov 2016

Your responses to this post have been completely and unnecessarily presumptuous and pretentious.

So let me get this straight. You think that yuiyoshida posted a false story about someone behaving shamefully, but then neglected to make him/herself act in the story the way you thought they should have acted in order to make him/herself look like the hero.

You presume that someone who lives in a house can't be poor.

You presume that the elderly man was chosen at random.

You presume that, when confronted with someone behaving shamefully, anyone and everyone would march right over and confront that person about his/her actions.

And you presume that a story CAN'T be true if it does not conform to YOUR expectations.

Wow. You sure you're on the right forum? Because I think you misspelled the url you were looking for. It's spelled d-r-u-d-g-e-r-e-p-o-r-t-.-c-o-m .

Have a nice day.
