Would you translate (or spread) a TED talk if you didn't agree with it's topic or the speaker's point of view?

I think, I've said it all in the title.

Would you translate a TED talk even if you did not agree with it? Do you think that people will feel you agree if they see your name written next to it?

Would you be willing to spread ideas, even if you did not agree with them?

    Apr 21 2012: Agreement and reality are the same thing. E.g. If someone disagrees with something that thing is not real to them. No matter how much the alcoholic tries to warn others about the dangers of the pink pachyderm, others are going to say what? and they are certainly not going to spread the word about the potentially dangerous pink pachyderm as it is not real to them.

    Would you translate the psychotic series of assumptions the Greek government made about Greece's future?

    I think this is how the media biases what they report on as this is their reality, it is not that they are purposely lying.
