This is a new twist on a predatory practice. This guy needs to be keel hauled.

Slowly or quickly though?

Actually this guy was a legit driver who was assigned to pick kids up at the stop.. he had documentation. he thought the kids waiting were the ones he was supposed to pick up.. was on the 6pm news.

Okay, this phrase kinda threw me:

$1:

Police said four children, between six and 10 years old, were standing at the corner of Lincoln Heights Rd. and Regina St. just before 8 a.m. when an older, yellow school bus pulled up.

Older than what? The children? Wtf?

This confused you? I can see why.

Older then what? The children? Wtf?

I think you're over analyzing this. Usually when people refer to an older vehicle, they mean compared to a newer vehicle. What else do you compare vehicles too? There's an older truck, well not as old as my grandma.

Who the hell says that? A 2006 school bus looks just as shitty as a 1972 school bus...

I just find it kinda funny that the sentence seems to acknowledge the school bus as almost alive by appearing to relate it to people.



I'm normally not all about grammar, since I make a lot of errors... Run-on sentences, for example. Or the one Shep pointed out.

But this really just confused me...

WTF are you talking about? It said "an older, yellow school bus". Since when is calling something older relating it to people? All things have age, in fact cars are identified by their age. Did you slip and hit your head today? Guess what? Houses are often described as older and newer as well. I know, I just blew your mind.

Mr_Canada Mr_Canada:

I don't really see the need to be a fucking assclown here.

I don't really hear people describe a vehicle such as a school bus as "Older" and "Yellow", since both are neither needed information, nor really something anyone would ask.

Obviously math is not your forte as well. Your reading comprehension, spelling skills, grammar and math all sadly lacking. Yet, you seem to think your education is being limited when the government allows parents to remove their children from classes discussing religion and sexual orientation. Fuck our future is bleak, when priorities are this skewed.
