Misinformation Machine

[Du5t1n 57]

Talk about things that you were lied to about in your earlier years, or even currently... whether direct lies, misinformation, or deception.

Some things that may apply to you...

Santa Clause

Marijuana or other drug issues

Religion related things

Old Wives Tales

Government propoganda

etc...

[Hedawn Omni 1]

Well there is one thing i was told i would be happy.

BULL

[Padraig! 103]

Government propoganda

Well, I haven't myself, but apprarentally, in one country, people believe in this thing, and this thing, is like where you're country is the best, and everyone believes it, so companies can sell their ALL AMERICAN products.

I mean, who would fall for that?

[Arcane 12]

The bellybutton-lint fairy. IT NEVER EXISTED!! >

[Teto 2609]

That there would be cake.

It was a lie.

[Aethix 129]

They always told me circles have zero sides. Now I know better.

[Teto 2609]

They told me Pi is endless.

How can this be true? If they haven't found the end yet, they can't prove it's not there.

Nonsense.

[Arcane 12]

Hehe. That made me laugh, Rain.

When I was young, I was told that there is an invisible man in the sky who looks over everything I do to see if I don't do these ten specific things written by a dude on a stone tablet because a burning bush told him to. I was told that if I avoided doing those things, I would go up to live with that invisible man in the clouds, but if I failed, I would go to burn in eternal fire under the earth with this red guy with horns, where I was told I would be tortured for eons and beyond, with whips and chains and fire in this cavernous hole called hell forever, with millions of other "sinners" just for shoplifting. I was also told that this invisible man loves me.

[Teto 2609]

Yeah, I love that George Carlin sketch

[Max 10]

That is most likely my favorite George Carlin routine. It's a shame about his death... =<

[Teto 2609]

Indeed. He was a great comedian.

I was told that good people die young.

Carlin was faily old, so this was wrong.

[Max 10]

Have you ever seen Jim Gaffigan? Not nearly as funny, but still hilarious. "Moses was given the commandments by a burning bush. Sounds like you've been burning some bush, Moses." "I'm catholic. Well, catholic in the sense that a cow born in a tree is a bird." He's got great jokes and a fantastic delivery.

I was told that Diet Pepsi tasted exactly like regular Pepsi. LIES.

Hey now, keep the nasty comments about religion to a minimum. If you must take them somewhere, take them to the religion topic.

Anyway, when I was younger, I was probably going to have problems in the written arts, as I wasn't terribly creative. Look at me now, loving to write and doing so quite often.

[Ganny 285]

I was told I'd be beat up as soon as I got to high school.

AHAHAHA.
