15. Why compliment someone for what he didn't do? That's not a compliment.

Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 11:15 AM by Sarah Ibarruri

To say someone has never been a pedophile, for example, does not make him a good potential worker for a job position because he may be utterly unacceptable in all other ways. Say what he's done, not what he hasn't done.
