Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day
Thats the first verse of a nice old song we sing like its some kind of poem or nursery rhyme, sometimes to children.
What if you quote the first line only?
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Then tell someone "Look at this song. Its telling you to live with buffaloes"..
It could be that the person quoting this line took it from a website. This website maybe on a mission and they love cherry picking lines like that and listing the cherry picked lines for shock effect. But does not the one who cuts and pastes this line from a website have some responsibility to do some analysis? This is an everyday occurrence.
Why do you think people do this? I mean not the owner of the website, but the cut and paste guy. Why? What do they honestly gain by doing that?
