Except when you support that particular political view, eh? :)

Nope. Gibson isn't an attention potato like most hollywood liberals.

Perhaps you are misjuding. I can easily distinguish between "a piece of work" and the character of the creator of that work. However, I find the character of the person to be more important than their work. If I find their character to be reprehensible then I won't support them, as is my right.

The only support I can think of for Mr. Sheen is of the athletic variety donned upon his face.

We should listen to Martin Sheen.  After all... he plays the President on T.V.

It reminds me of a quote I heard when the movie "S.W.A.T." was released.

" received two weeks of intense S.W.A.T. training and became experts in S.W.A.T. tactics."

P.S.  St. Santa's love for the 190 proves he's a nazi.

I always feel a bit more human when I come here.



I guess "here" didnt include downtown Vancouver.... Hell even the worst San Francisco homeless drunks arent as bad as the guys I ran into, and of course then there were the dirty homeless street kids burning plies of paper on the sidewalk to keep warm, the car theft warnings everywhere and of course the throngs of prostitutes...  This was in the heart of Vancouver just by the city's finest hotels and restaurants. The outright poverty and especially the homeless kids surprised given the bombastic lunatic rantings of left wing Canadians on this BBS about their superior health ande social support systems..

But I bet most countries are very nice when you see them through the tinted window of a limousine or from a high penthouse suite.

Fear of what?  Why do you lefties put such an ominous spin "fear" when somebody disagrees with you?

Or are you saying we dont have the right to express our own feelings by choosing not to purchase certain goods?

I was wondering when your post-report of Vancouver was gonna hit the BBS. :) (You also forgot to tell LePaul how nice my garage really is with carpeting! :D )

A few patriots not buying his DVDs and expressing distaste for his statements is somehow restricting his freedom of expression?  What about our freedom of expression?  What are you smoking, I want some!

Sorry Funked, you don't get to have freedom of expression...unless you agree with the other guy's views.  If you attempt to disagree with him, then you are a nazi and you hate the US.

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.
