I am saying this ref. to Eminem is ridiculous. You list it among "commonly reported methods include:" and this is not common. That is why I am saying you are pushing your ignorance on people who may not know better. That is hard to describe as anything but propaganda, not just conservative bias. Do you see the difference? What if someone else included "reading the bible" as a common method of torture? Or, say, "playing Billy Graham real loud on a television set night and day?" All youe example does is push your personal agenda on the mistaken belief that it represents a common method of torture. [[User:Flippin|Flippin]] 13:14, 24 April 2007 (EDT)
