OOOOOH feisty !! I'm scared !:lol:

 

Try to stay within the lines.

 

So, you now that you think it's OK to wish cancer on someone that questions one's intentions. Good to know.

 

Yeah, only the ones that wish horrible death on someone is right. What in the world has happened to people?

 

Well, well, well... :popcorn:

I guess what we're all wondering is why this seems so terribly important to you. Hollywood actors say stupid things all the time, because the perfect words haven't been scripted out for them. It was a terribly regretable, off the cuff comment. I think he probably wishes he hadn't said it that way, but once it's out of your mouth and captured on tape, there's not much you can do about it.

I explained why I started the thread, however none of you wish to discuss it, please close the thread.

I think it's been discussed quite a bit....He made an ignorant comment. What do you want people to say, that they're going to boycott watching his movies now? :idunno:

Everyone was discussing it just fine. :popcorn:

As usual, wrong. If it were my favorite actor, writer, singer or what have you I'd have a problem with a statement like this.

 

Next.

 

You wouldn't say anything like this?

 

And why exactly is that? The tolerance police (those beautiful left-wingers) deem it horrible and reprehensible to harbor such feelings. My lord, he must go to sensitivity training so we can make him think like us. We simply can not allow this man to speak his mind, he must learn to accept whatever we think is appropriate, and after all, he must have some kind of mental disorder to even think such a thing.

I find the PC people’s hypocrisy to be the offensive thing here more so than his comment. I don’t agree with what he said, but why is it such a big deal really? Who cares?

You wouldn't say anything like this?

After wishing cancer on someone? Hell no!

Didnt Sean Penn go to see Sadaam before the war

Didnt Sean Penn go to see Sadaam before the war

Yes, but he was just doing research for his lead role in the movie, I am Sadaam.

I really find it hard to believe that you have such in issue with this RTS considering you seem to so often be the sensitive police on this website. Should he have said it? Absolutely not. Do I really think that he would be dancing in the streets if they all got rectal cancer? No I don't. He's an actor, who really cares what he said or why he said it. He could hold a press conference saying that he truly hopes I get mauled by a bear tomorrow with Creed being blared in the background while it happened and I have to say that it would probably bring a smile to my face.

You people just don't get it. It amazes me that this whole thing has gone totally over your heads. The guy is on a humanitarian trip. Some people question his motives (wrongly in my opinion) and how does this humanitarian handle it? By wishing death on them, "screaming from rectal cancer" (in his own words) to be exact. I ask you, what's humanitarian about that? Again I ask you, what's human about that?

Funny to me how the majority of you (people by the way that usually condemn such deplorable, hateful, ignoble behavior) are willing to act as if it's no big deal because hey, after all, he's just an actor.

Even funnier to me is how many of you want to try to spin it on to me because of PC. This is beyond PC folks, and for the record I think he has every right to say it. I never once said he had no right to speak his mind. My conscious, however, will not allow me to just give him a pass as you all want to do just because he has freedom of speech or you like his acting. I also have freedom of speech, I choose, in this case, to point out how vile, base and despicable it is to wish such an appalling thing on other human beings simply because they questioned his motives. This guy is no humanitarian.

Because it's just words... While they are disgusting words that I would choose not to use, at the end of the day it hasn't really changed anything and he hasn't really hurt anyone.

 

I do, however, think he should have kept his mouth shut to begin with. Whether he's doing something for the right reasons or the wrong reasons, they're still getting done and that's all that matters to me at the end of the day.

Are you trying to tell me words don't matter? If that were true, there would be no word filter on this site. If words don't hurt anyone why are they disgusting words? Makes no sense. Wishing rectal cancer on someone should bother anyone that hears it, I feel sorry for anyone that thinks it's no big deal.

I appreciate your sympathy then, because I truly don't care what he said.

 

Words do not matter to me, but I didn't create the word filter.

 

Just because it doesn't bother me to hear something, it doesn't mean I am going to say it. I enjoy watching football, but I don't play it.

I understand, but IMO when people get this out of hand it's good for society to let them know how wrong it is, otherwise we lose our values and morals.
