As part of my daily routine, I'm reading a conservative online newspaper. I click the headline about "citigroup", and right away I repost the "facts" on a social network. Only to further reasearch it, (right here on good ole free republic) and find out, not so fast..it isn't as it seems. In fact, Citigroup makes a statement contrary to the entire article. So I take personal responsibility for taking it at face value, but shouldn't those kind of headlines be relegated to somewhere besides the front page?
So here's a bunny with toilet paper on it's head.
That rabbit looks wiped out.
Your not seriou’s, do you?
I have heard that ship Brangelina is on the rocks!
Stop making fun of the poor womens writing's.
Hit the abuse button to make your request... they pay more attention to you there... hope that helps.
How does it help to ridicule someone who isn’t as educated as yourself? I don’t get it. I’ve been a member since 2006, I’m a conservative who was very upset I was duped into repeating that citigroup was going to make people wait 7 days to make a withdrawal. I came here to vent but in hindsite that was even a bigger mistake.
“Ive been a member since 2006”
Uhhh....

Are you drunk?
I just made some texas sheet cake and its rocking and that is no rumor.
I think you need to give them a break. The problem was that you knew perfectly well what you were saying. However nobody else had a clue what you were talking about. You needed to fill in some details. Not everyone has been following your every move and so your post became a prime target for WHAT???
You are only as uneducated as you choose to be:

Thank-You.
Hmmmm...I always understood the pancake, but the toilet paper is ridiculous. /sarc
Agreed.
No way you get to make this go away now. it’s one of the more entertaining threads of the week.
If only we had some idea what it was about. Although that might spoil it.
S’hhhhh!
You were just one of MANY people who were duped into believing some earth-shaking change was being made by citigroup.
If you want to avoid that in the future, you might want to avoid things that are sourced to names like “Market ticker” or “Market Oracle”.
Now, the people who read those swear by them, and as far as I can tell, they did predict 10 of the last 2 major market corrections.
But don’t feel too bad — people tend not to read anything but the excerpts, and almost nobody goes and does their own research to learn the facts behind the stories.
Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see.
OH YUM.... the kind with cocoa powder and sweetened condensed milk in a jelly roll pan? MY FAVORITE. Nuts or no nuts?
