I'm talking print media here, specifically media interviews. It often seems that the 'subject' being interviewed is selectively quoted/ misquoted to suit the particular agenda the (allegedly impartial) journo is running. I speak from personal experience here - I was interviewed for my local newspaper recently and the article that came out was complete crap! For example, it said that I had 'started playing piano to escape her sad childhood'....what I actually said was, 'I didn't have a great time when I was younger, but I think everyone has those sorts of periods in their life' and this was in a response to a question posed by the journo herself!
I may be going on to much about this, but people need to relise that what you read in a media interview is only one-sided - so much gets lost in translation, and words are often taken out of context just like mine were. Thoughts anyone?

I told my mom that the movie The Golden Compass looks like a good movie and she freaked out on me. She started going on about how only "devil worshipers" would go see that and how its VERY Anti-Christ. So I asked her what about it was Anti-Christ and she was just like Uh Well its not important (She just goes along with what everyone tells her; she lets people shove their beliefs down her throat; I dont think she has the ability to think for herself; all she does is follow the crowd and when I was to be my own individual person she freaks out, but thats beside the point.

I want someone to explain to me what about this move is Anti-Christ

I have a 1977 mobile home in a park. When I went to vacuum out the dust of ducts before turning on heat, I discovered 2 inches water in bathroom duct. I checked and bedroom has some and living room as well,,but the kitchen duct is just moist, no actual standing water. I figure I could shop vac out, but where on earth could it come from? My bathroom had tub replaced 2 years ago, and then last august toilet had to be replaced along with floor due to water damage from toilet leaking. Could it be toilet leaking gets into that duct that runs along bottom of mobile? I have no money to have repair man come out again, any ideas?

I want the book, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, but it seems like there are different versions (i.e. abridged, unabridged, alexander text ???). I just all the works in one book and in their original form. No abridging! But if the book comes with some sidenotes, definitions, introductions, pictures (etc), thats cool. but ultimatley i just want the original Shakespeare works! So what version would be best?

A Sunday School teacher of preschoolers was
concerned that his students might be a little
confused about Jesus Christ because of the
Christmas season emphasis on His birth. He
wanted to make sure they understood that
the birth of Jesus occurred a long time ago,
that He grew up, etc. So he asked his class,
"Where is Jesus today?"

Steven raised his hand and said, "He's in
heaven."
Mary was called on and answered, "He's in
my heart."
Little Johnny, waving his hand furiously,
blurted out, "I know! I know!
He's in our bathroom!!!"

The whole class got very quiet, looked at
the teacher, and waited for a response. The
teacher was completely at a loss for a few
very long seconds, Finally, he gathered his
wits and asked Little Johnny how he knew this.

Little Johnny said, "Well...every morning,
my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom
door, and yells, "Jesus Christ, are you still
in there?!"
