Which part of George Allen's birth certificate led you to believe he is one of "today's kids" ???

Perhaps you would like to withdraw your earlier accusation.

... Or make up your mind what you're accusing me of.
It is the same thing, so no, I will not recount my accusation.

Can't tell the difference eh?

I'm not surprised. However, being a nice person that I am, I've prepared the followng to make you better understand:

Out of context = "to remove a passage from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its meaning."
http://www.fallacyfiles.org/quotcont.html


No context = the absence of "the set of circumstances or facts that surround a particular event."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/context


"Distorting its meaning" DOES NOT equals to "absence of facts."

Let me guess, you've never taken a logic or journalism class in college?
