Allegations are easy -- just throw shit until it sticks. People love throwing shit -- people love to be in the game, getting attention, running plays for their side and feeling important. You got an unpopular Pres, more shit will be thrown and more will stick. Pretty soon you believe a lot of shit, and are calling for a Whitewater investigation, and when you don't find any real shit, you turn to prosecuting blowjobs.
OK, so we should forget everything everyone has said, and go about our merry business, because the republicans mishandled an investigation and kept it going for years, when it should have been dropped? I'm sick of the corruption in Washington, and I want something done about it. I'm sorry to hear you don't. I don't like powerful (or rich) people getting away with stuff simply because they are powerful (or rich). That is not what our system of government is supposed to be about.

Especially since Cheney has admitted on TV that they waterboarded people...

You hate everyone in Hollywood too? Geez and I thought they were your brethren. :rolleyes:

sugarpop 02-24-2009 10:23 PM
No. And I don't hate all poweful/rich people. Only the ones who are corrupt and unethical and step on those less fortunate in order to gain more for themselves.

You know, Hollywood gets a really bad rap. I worked in the industry for years. A lot of the people you love to hate are really good people who actually walk their talk.

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 10:35 PM
Who cares, those rich people out there need to pay their fair share, not walk down red carpets while people get laid off. Screw Hollywood and those rich people in their big houses. :D

I don't like them using their celebrity for political purposes.

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:38 PM
Why not?

TheMercenary 02-24-2009 10:39 PM
They are mini corps you so love to hate. The rich!

Aliantha 02-24-2009 10:40 PM
I don't hate rich people.

I'd like to be one some day. lol

classicman 02-24-2009 10:41 PM
Why? What makes their opinion any more valid than anyone elses? Why should they get to be on TV espousing their political points when the average person whose points are just as valid cannot?
Why should Sean Penn be allowed to go off at the award ceremony about his feelings regarding same sex marriage?

Hollywood doesn't pay bonuses. They pay backend percentages on PROFITS. In other words, if the movie makes money, people make more than their salary. If it doesn't, they don't. Isn't that how bonuses are supposed to work? Most actors are very public about their beliefs that they should be paying higher taxes (at least the democrats do). They really mean it.

As far as under the line people being laid off while above the line people make more money, I have been ranting about THAT for YEARS, and you know that about me.
