Not the way I do it!    

Perhaps you should produce a video.

Which, of course, would be pirated in seconds.

I&#39;ll entertain any idea that will inflate the bottom line&#33;

Boy, those idjits who burn and sell-GREAT example of the ignorance I spoke of earlier-you told &#39;em; I wish we could be sure you provoked some thought, but probably not, huh?

No, I&#39;m pretty sure I stumped &#39;em with "re".

Celebs take advantage of their freedom and speak out against the very government that protects them.

They should try living in Iraq for one year without any of ther money and try working like a regular middle class person .Just to see how helpless they really are, I wonder how Sean Penn would try to sleep with one eye open.

Pathetic these people are trying tomake a differance ,Saddam is a dictator.
Do you really think the USA needs Iraqs oil ..........please

HYPOCRACY&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;


I can&#39;t watch TV for an hour without seeing a celebrity telling us to support our troop. I don&#39;t see any anti-war people black listing them. People have the right to voice there opionions EVEN IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE DISAGREE. That is what America is about, the minority can voice there opinion with out being criticized. There are hundreds up celebs who agreed with the war and voice there opionions, so why can&#39;t the ones who disagree do the same?&#33;?&#33;?&#33;? It doesn&#39;t make any sense.

Those who refuse to buy a dixie chicks album (why would they want to anyways), or won&#39;t watch any movie with Tim Robbins have the right to do that, but I think that it is childish, and VERY VERY immature.

Now I&#39;m confused, Renfield-did you read the thread or not?

[dwightfry]

Yeah

Celebrities seem to think (my opinion) their inherent "superiority" obligates them to grace us with opinions ranging from A to Z. The public has a commensurate obligation to pay heed to their enlightenments. On occasion, public opinion is gauged as being negative in response to their intellectual frothings; the celebrities counter that their rights are being battered if their proclamations meet with any response other than swooning acceptance.

I&#39;m saying there rights aren&#39;t being violated if people disagree, but I think that it is completely inappropriate to put these boycotts on there music, movies, etc. because of there opionions.

This is a good example. He is only complaining about the ones who speak out against the gov&#39;t, and not the ones who speak out for the gov&#39;t. It isn&#39;t the idea of celebs voicing there opinions that make him mad, it is when celeb&#39;s voice opionions which disagree with his own, and his gov&#39;t.


If no celebrities voiced there opisition to the gov&#39;t, would have this thread still been posted? I think not. The problem is that some do oppose our gov&#39;t, and that&#39;s hypacriticle.

It still seems you&#39;ve missed MY point; these people are pandered to by the media.

Though free speech is a constitutional right; nowhere in the constitution does it say "This right includes a microphone and full media access, but only if you are sufficiently celebrated".

My objection is the relative volume of their speech-GET IT?
