If you could believe.
Those who have the most to thank for their careers and their very lives are the ones who diss it so much.
I am frankly ashamed to be from the same country that some of them call their home.
And can still stand before an audience and proclaim such things.

I know all about freedom of speech.
But there is another point that I need to make.

There is ALSO a term seldom heard.
And that is RESPECT for freedom of speech.

One not only has to speak up, but be respectful of what they say, my friends.
And the actors that we pay to entertain us have once again betrayed us.
Shame on them. I hope all of you would just not buy one ticket today or tomorrow or next week.
I know it's entertainment, but could you not voice an opinion for once?
The arrogance of Streep and others beside her hurts me dearly.
Biting the very hand that has let them feed upon the trough that American has provided them with. They have forgotten what riches this nation has provided them with.

I live every day building fire trucks. Trucks that decide who may live and who may not.
I hope that most are saved, but I know all are not.
My work DOES however, slant the tables in favor of those who do survive.
Streep does nothing but incite hatred and unrest.
And for that, I hate her.
Few have actually invoke my use of the H word.
But she has.
Very much.

I am thrilled about all the wonderful actors and actresses who despite being filthy rich are still progressive and smart enough to tell things how they are. High five to Hollywood and the Oscars.

Mark, never watch another movie, television show, music video, or listen to music again. Make it your boycott.

You mean the ones who have their feet in their arses?
You are thrilled about that?
I do hope you were being an actor like them./

Better yet, I vow to never view another useless post by a useless person like yourself.
Consider yourself now blocked.

It doesn't seem like you're respecting Streep's freedom of speech.

I respect her freedom of speech just fine.
I simply do not respect what she says.
They are two different and distinct things.

Thanks for the clarification. That actually makes sense, and I respect your anger.

Sorry, but only read the main news, or headlines about this.

First thought was that of always trust an actor for such a thing and never blame him or her.

At least when such a possible blunder is happening.

Make it perhaps a given name for such a thing, it could actually become either Yes or No for such a thing.

Except for that, not that bad when it comes to a given suggestion, except perhaps not in my thoughts.

If one thing is supposed to sell, the other thing could be as well and then at least it could be a competition.

But not necessarily that of mudslinging or a nasty resort for such a thing, with even one possible more word for such a thing.

We are supposed to make that of a jury a thing for the Courts, not necessarily that of any acting, but definitely there could be people for such a thing around as well.

I a LONG list of actors/actresses out of hollywood I do not give money to because they are actively working to destroy the country which made them so wealthy.

There are different kinds of "smarts." They have the kind of smarts which makes it easy for them to *PARROT* long lists of words. Since that's all they can do, that's all they should stick to doing.

Interesting, did you vote for Ronald Reagan?
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

kittyman... Don't block. Shake you head in disbelief, responding every now and then.

Regarding The Topic:

It is better that their putrid and fetid inner hatred of those Not Them. Is exposed to the Cleaning Air of Ethics, Morality and Tolerance.
Understanding they have no Ethics, Morality, nor Tolerance. And most probably will never. Their self-exposure will probably lead to their consignment to the Toilet Bowl of History.

We can only hope.

Mr Clyde, your love of Humanity is evident in every one of your posts.
Your command of 5 and 6 letter words is matched by few posters, though your President could probably teach you, an Old Goat, a thing or two about
the usage of 4 letter words. It would be a HUGE improvement to your literary skill.

I was going to go on a venomous rampage after reading this drivel, but, what good would it do?
If this Clyde guy believes he and the cross dressing cat guy possess the high ground where ethics, morality and tolerance are concerned, carry on fools.

What's an Oscar?
And, please, kittyman, DO block. Seeing you spew your hatred back at people (via quotes of quotes of quotes) who have had the good sense to ignore you, as you have done for 10+-11+ years ... ugh. Give it a rest already! Clyde is going to try to act as if YOU are a well-behaved man after all this time, that will pull the rest of us up or consign us to the toilet??? NO!!!! Stop dragging US in with YOU! Or I'll get so depressed I'll need to down some Fireball this weekend.
Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.
