There you go again. Enabling those who should learn to read and think for themselves by telling them what to think.
The only way a person learns to think about what they read is to suffer the consequences of misreading it.
If we do it your way everyone gets a trophy and their noses wiped.
But you feel good doing that so I guess that’s all that matters.
There are other reasons for the site policy, as I've said before. I have yet to be convinced that unmarked satire is somehow "educational" or that this site should be part of that alleged mission.
I guess you haven't received a ton of e-mail over the years from well-intentioned friends and family passing on various news stories that were suspect or clearly bogus. Meanwhile, the dopey thing had been countlessly forwarded to a large number of people, as evidenced by the many addresses in the previous 'To' fields. Obviously, to forward it to friends and family members like this they must have actually believed the stupid story themselves.
Anybody who needs to have satire explicitly identified to them...especially as obvious as this one....probably shouldn’t be here.
And yet, sure enough, the article has been tagged as satire.
Geezis....
