Thread Name: BS: Is this how you treat kids in New York?
Subject: RE: BS: Is this how you treat kids in New York?
"There are no alleged facts that differ materially from those reported by the BBC. "
PROBLEM #1 - it appears they were not in an "orphanage" as the beloved BBC reported.
PROBLEM #2 - When were they in Harlem?

"The reportage makes it plain that two girls were taken from their mother when she was defenceless against preventing that from happening."
PROBLEM #3 - "defenceless". The mother gave consent. The question (unasked by the beloved BBC) was about what that consent entailed. Were the rights explained? We don't know because the beloved BBC failed to ask.

"They were then treated in an oppressive fashion." By their definition. You weren't there, neither was I. Was it really oppressive?

"But there is an attempt to hide behind a fanciful idea that there might be some other truth."
You wish to deny that there might be some other truth so you simply ignore the questions.

This is become as fruitful as argueing with a brick wall. You have made up your minds and wish to see the world through blinders. Enjoy it.
