I'm mainly talking about interviews in the print media here....
I ask this question because I was recently interviewed for my local paper, and when said 'interview' was finally published it was complete bollocks!! I couldn't recognise myself in it anywhere!
That got me thinking.....do we read too much into interviews with various celebs/politicians/etc??
So often you hear people say they've been misquoted and that their words have been taken out of context etc. etc.....
After my recent experience I believe a lot gets lost in translation, even if you are quoted correctly......what are your thoughts on this? I'd be interested to know!

I have been doing great on the vegan diet. I don't take B12 because we don't need it. I think B12 was just a lie that murderers came up with to scare people into eating meat.

Hey I just turned 25 and I'm going on a cruise to the Bahamas and would really like to go scuba diving.

I've been swimming before both with and without ear plugs (I know bad me), but when scuba diving you are not allowed to wear ear plugs since the pressure has to equalize.

So I was wondering what might would or could happen if I went anyway without putting plugs in.

Thanks for the info and I would really appreciate it if you could put a reference link with your answer if possible since its a health question.

thanks again,
Cerberus

I live in SA, and recently heard that the government decided to demolish a public school to extend a national road. This is shocking to me since there is 55-60 children recently in public schools...

What if god really is the devil? and they battled at some point in time but the devil won and is now just trying to confuse everyone with the bible. and thats why he makes everyone follow strict rules and left so many contradictions and illogic like that in the bible.

i hope you guys can step back for a second and answer this one hypothetically.

I see a lot of Christians complaining how their particular god is being bashed more than other gods.

I've never seen it, but if they feel it like that, I'd like to know what "bashing" is. Many religious people disagree with my atheism, but I've never felt "bashed". I simply understand they disagree, and I'm not that easily offended.

I also see many people disagree with Christianity. If I question the horrible concept of hell, people tell me to stop bashing. But I fail to see what "bashing" is. Is it anything more than disagreeing?

Or is it just that if people whine enough times about being 'bashed', that some people actually start to believe it to be true? Is a person that's easily offended more bashed than a laid back person, who doesn't take it all so seriously?
