While I do look down on celebrity gossip reading, I'm aware that that makes me a snob. However, that's not the issue I have here.

My issue is with the way papers like this, and indeed Fox News, report real news, important news. Reading celebrity gossip may be something that I don't understand, but it's not something than affects me, whereas the actual news, that has a very real impact on people's views on politics, society, the world and so on. That is something we should all care about.



Once again though, you're trying to impose your views on others.

If people want to read the bible, and believe it as factual "news", they should be able to.

As I say, if people want to live in blissful ignorance, they should be allowed to do that.


And when they read the bible and decide that being gay is a crime, or one of the many other terrible things in that book, you're OK with that?


yes. I believe that people should have the freedom to believe what they like, as long as it doesn't encroach on others rights.
