I can't decide whether this is gibberish or just pretentious. You should give up writing until you have learnt to express yourself clearly (and have ideas worth sharing).

Or it could be that this is impartial reporting of a situation where little is known and nothing has been proved, which is how things should be done in a free press. But feel free to stick to your paranoid interpretation.

Off topic, but explain to me the gratuitous use of a French word in the headline. Is this some kind of slur on the French, e.g. the NSA are being so duplicitous they are almost French?

All of your contributions seem to denote someone who doesn't really have anything worthwhile to convey in writing. Try to communicate "Hire me, I'm experienced." in a photo. Share that on Facebook.

You simply didn't read the article did you? Just used the post title (which isn't the article title) as an excuse for going off on your tedious rant about how ineffective bike helmets are.

Stereotypes exist for a reason, they are convenient (and sometimes, highly accurate) generalizations. You are a prime example of another type of stereotype. In my experience (and I am somewhat older than you claim to be) people who declare
