Comment preview: Sorry for not responding in the other thread friend. I would say the biggest misconception the U.S. has of Afghanistan is that they are all suffering 24/7 and that its a terrible place to live when in actuality the people are generally happy and doing the ....


Comment preview: That's not true at all. Advertisers deal with the review filter the same way non-advertisers do. It was the biggest misconception I had to deal with when I worked there cold calling businesses to advertise. No, I never extorted anyone (nor would I if the ....


Comment preview: I was in a lesbian relationship for 10 years, and have now been with a man for the past 3 years (and we have a baby together). Also dated both genders before and between. Honestly, I think that the biggest misconception is that there are huge differences. ....


Comment preview: Ravenclaw's mascot is an eagle, not a raven. This is less a misconception and more a "oh, wait really?" kind of situation. Actually, the biggest misconception in my eyes: that Snape is a perfect hero and human being who everyone should love. Snape was an ....


Comment preview: About the hotline, I think the biggest misconception is that you'll be talking people down off ledges or that people will call and say "Give me a reason to live". That never happens. About suicidal thoughts or depression, I think the biggest myth is still ....


Comment preview: I am from Pakistan and there is nothing but misinformation about my country. Yes, we have problems who doesn't but one of the biggest misconception people in world have about Pakistan is that its similar to Arab countries as in dry and arid deserts. It can ....


Comment preview: As a physics student, this is one of the biggest misconceptions. It troubles me more that this has 80 upvotes, meaning a net of 80 people also have this misconception. Location can only be defined relative to something else. There is no such thing as an ab ....


Comment preview: I work for the FDA. Everything you read in the media is completely wrong. It is all 'the biggest misconception'. We are dedicated public health professionals who genuinely try to protect the nation from unsafe and ineffective products. We do a remarkabl ....


Comment preview: Most interesting patient was a young girl with borderline personality disorder. She was abused at home, lots of self-harm and suicide attempts. These patients carry a huge stigma with them, they are seen as needy, attention seeking and downright destructiv ....


Comment preview: One of the biggest misconceptions about mental health is that people who aren't seeking help don't want help. I have a few issues, major depression is one of them. Someone with major depression isn't going to be doing the boatloads of paperwork it takes t ....


Comment preview: I'm somewhat of a LaVey satanist, but I usually don't identify as any religion simply because I'm too lazy to keep up with any rituals/traditions. I'd say the biggest misconception about satanism is that it involves worshipping a deity. It is (for the most ....


Comment preview: Ellen Ripley in Aliens was a character written as a man. Then they cast her, changed the pronouns, and went with it. Then, waa laa \*, one of the best characters in history who was a woman. When you see women as people just like men, that might change the ....


Comment preview: The biggest misconception I get from my friends wanting to build is "I should get this 120mm CLC as it will outperform an air cooler" and I just facepalm and show them benchmarks comparing 120mm and 240mm CLC's to a high end air cooler (which is typically ....


Comment preview: The biggest misconception about ebola is that it is highly contagious. It is not. There will be no story of a healthy person walking through an airport shaking hands and spreading ebola. That is not what happens. Here's how you should think of it: ebola is ....


Comment preview: > First off, one of the biggest misconceptions is that in melee, fox has a better recovery. And yes, at low levels of play, that is true. But at the level of play we're at, almost all the top players agree falco's recovery is better because it's faster ....


Comment preview: I think your memory is a bit off. Montreal, and Larry Robinson in particular were actually nastier than what the Flyers brought to the party in that series. However two of the biggest misconception about that era of hockey is that the Flyers were just braw ....


Comment preview: Biggest misconception that everyone seems to have is that 'Ovi has finally bought in'. Ovi has always had the Stanley Cup and team success at the front of his mind and to say that he was selfish, I think, is not warranted. Trotz hasn't changed Ovi to the d ....


Comment preview: Cost per wear is probably the most accurate measure of worth for a piece of clothing. One of the biggest misconceptions out there is the idea that cheap clothes are actually cheaper. A nice pair of well made khakis is an essential part of any wardrobe with ....


Comment preview: This seems to be the biggest misconception that I also had and recently [educated myself on.](http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-is-usb-3-1-when-will-it-be-released-and-what-will-it-do-for-pcs/) I'm *still* confused. Here's the gist: USB has stand ....

Comment preview: No problems. I think the biggest misconception about asexuality (after thinking that asexuality equals impotence, which it doesn't) is that it leaves a huge void in peoples lives. You are not missing anything, because there is nothing to miss - sex is not ....


Comment preview: My biggest misconception was that Sansa did not deserve a redemption arc. After the first read, I hated her. She ratted out Ned's plan to flee King's Landing. To me, this was the spark that set off the war of five kings. She was a naive little girl that wa ....

Comment preview: I think the biggest misconception is that Sherman would just be your average Joe if you took away Thomas and Chancellor. Watch the Dallas game last year; once Maxwell went out, Sherman followed Dez around the whole game. The result? 50 something yards and ....
