Vincent D'Onofrio (GOMER PYLE) supports mag ban Just saw it on channel seven can't find it online yet
 
Wow! That's really hard to believe.

He was such a John Kerry supporter he actually had a nervous breakdown and was unable to work after Kerry lost in 2004. Hard to believe someone as stable and rational as that would support a magazine ban...
 
I posted this in hoping to see all the full metal jacket quotes it worked. I guess he didn't unf**k himself
 
There's a blogger who put this absolutely perfectly.

Dear Hollywood celebrities,

You exist for my entertainment. Some of you are great eye candy. Some of you can deliver a line with such conviction that you bring tears to my eyes. Some of you can scare the crap out of me. Others make me laugh. But you all have one thing in common, you only have a place in my world to entertain me. That’s it.

You make your living pretending to be someone else. Playing dress up like a retard*. You live in a make believe world in front of a camera. And often when you are away from one too. Your entire existence depends on my patronage.

I’ll crank the organ grinder; you dance.

I don’t really care where you stand on issues. Honestly, your stance matters far less to me than that of my neighbor. You see, you aren’t real. I turn off my TV or shut down my computer and you cease to exist in my world. Once I am done with you, I can put you back in your little box until I want you to entertain me again.

I don’t care that you think the BP executives deserve the death penalty. But I bet you looked cute saying it.

And you? Really? I’m supposed to care what the director of fluffy tripe made for gullible people thinks of those who realize global warming is a scam? Get back into your bubble. I’ll let you know when I’m in the mood for something blue and shiny.

Make me laugh, or cry. Scare me. But realize that the only words of yours that matter are scripted. I might agree with some of you from time to time, but it doesn’t matter. In my world, you exist solely for my entertainment.

So, shut your pie hole and dance, monkey!

*that’s a reference to a quote and not a commentary on the mentally impaired. I’d never use that term for someone who didn’t choose to be mentally impaired. But some people make the choice to not use their mental faculties and are voluntarily slow. For those, the term is appropriate.

Holy crap, I never realized he was Private Pyle! What a douche. I actually kinda liked that quirky character he played on L&O. Oh well. It does piss me off how these people think that their opinions hold more weight than the average joe. Well maybe it does, because the masses give them that power, and their fame gives them the soapbox...[rolleyes]

Maybe some of the Hollywood "celebrities" ought to take a cue from porn actresses - when they open their mouths it's only for business. Other than that they keep the mouths shut and their opinions to themselves.

The one entertainer I have some degree of respect for vis a vis their stance on politics - is Stevie Nicks. I still remember a radio interview I heard with her at least a decade ago where the interviewer asked her what her opinion was on some subject (can't remember what it was now), her response was execellent - it ran something like this " You know - I make it a point to not comment on politics or any of that kind of stuff, it's not my place. I am entertainer - I love being an entertainer - and people respect me for THAT. I don't want to abuse that position to try and influence people "


That was the best response I have EVER heard coming from any "entertainer".

She puts her money where her mouth is too:

Stevie Nicks Gives iPods To Wounded Soldiers
Starpulse Blog ^ | 6/23/06 | Unattributed

Posted on Saturday, August 26, 2006 8:57:16 PM by Huntress

Singer Steve Nicks is doing her part to support U.S. troops by donating hundreds of iPods to soldiers wounded in Iraq. The former Fleetwood Mac star regularly visits soldiers at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

She explains, "I refuse to be pulled into the politics of war. But once these soldiers sign up, go to war and come back to a hospital, I will do whatever it takes to make them better." Nicks has provided iPods loaded with her music, along with fellow artists Aerosmith and Elvis Presley.

She has also sent baby clothes to war widows, joined bedside vigils and with the United Service Organization (USO), hopes to provide every returning soldier with a music player. She adds, "Any one of them could be my own child. You can't help falling in love with every one of them."

Stop validating what these people, who are clearly not in a position to give a valid opinion on the subject, have to say. You can start by stop creating threads on gun forums about it. Its crap, it doesn't deserve the time of day. Leave it alone.
