Freedom from accepting responsibility for your publicy stated position, or at least living with the consquences? Hope it never happens.

Sheens comments weren't aimed at influencing anyone to change their political position. He was only showing his contempt of the people that made him wealthy and gave him the liberty to speak his mind so publicly.

But hey, it is his right. Just as it is mine to fart in his exact direction.

So it's OK for Vorticon to express his opinion about our statements, but NOT OK for us to express our opinion about ole Marty's statements. I understand now.

Why not? Why should you buy, as in give your money to, a movie or song by an artist you dislike?

AKIron · « **Reply #36 on:** September 22, 2003, 02:27:17 PM »

Sounds like Sheen was pretty condemning towards me and my ilk. Unless he meant "land of lunatics" in an endearing sort of way.

LOL..

It dawned on me that Canada wasnt worth typing the whole thing up for - but of course I'll rewmember everything and if need be I will put it to good use.

The carpet is very nice and rich - good quality stuff.

BTW...I could give a flying poop what the political views are of the people who either make or participate in the entertainment piece that I purchase. Whether it's a movie or an album, if I like it, I'll buy it regardless of who's in it.

I would like to say, "Same Here" but for some reason I find Tom Cruise and John Travolta's participation in the Scientology cult taints my desire to see their work. And with Cruise, his one demensional talent plays a role as well

Yes it's great entertainment watching you contradict yourself repeatedly.

oh ok! Then please, show me this law that dictates what I decide what to do with my money and who I choose to entertain me.

LOL, this is great...by Vort's logic, perhaps Asscroft can start wasting more money on pointless prosecutions. You could just have a questionaire at the local Walmart.

Please answer the following question truthfully and to the best of your ability:

I chose not to buy the latest DVD with Martin Sheen or the first season of The West Wing on DVD because...

a. I don't particularly care for Martin Sheen's acting,
b. I just don't like the concept of any of his movies or of The West Wing
c. I don't agree with his political views, so I am boycotting products he is involved with
d. other, please specify: _____________________________ _

Anyone answering "C" to this question could be taken into custody by local law enforcement, then prosecuted on charges of Violation of Civil Rights against Martin Sheen. Get these filthy civil rights violators off the streets NOW!
