        To show someone else has said it? Rather than the the person writing the article.

        The man was arrested and charged, you don’t use quotes when that’s the case.

        Like I said to Tracy, I was considering why the writer used quotations. The fact the writer of the article isn't saying it. I think the focus should be the story personally. But there again what do I know.

        Dear LORD, the vast majority of women don't report sexual assault. The true number must be staggering! Send this to the Republican Congressmen and see if they care.

        In respect of rape matter, South Africa’s attitude is much more appropriate than Japan’s. Quite recently, a male Japanese raper wasn’t punished at all and, a female victim has been accused.

        This is genrally due to global moral degradation. Some countries are going down faster than others.
