IMO, Hollywood shouldn't get a cent

Posted By: sm on 2009-01-31
In Reply to: My 2 cents - mm

of money from the government.  That is just wrong.  Of all people that deserve money.....it wouldn't be hollywood!


Another group I've heard complain are athletes.  They are complaining because sales of tickets are down.  Well.....I'm sorry but I think it is absolutely ridiculous that these athletes make as much as they do anyway.....maybe if they would take a pay cut and lower the ticket prices.....maybe more people could afford to go to games. 


I live in Indiana and I am a Colts fan but I am thoroughly ticked that they threatened to leave Indiana unless we built them a new stadium.  We built them a new stadium at the expense of the taxpayers and the Colts have sucked major butt since then.  I would have told them to pack up and leave and not let the door hit them in the butt on the way out.  They make WAY too much money to sit around and make demands like that.  They could have easily built their own dang stadium....jerks.  Just think about all those local people whose property taxes skyrocketed because the colts demanded a new stadium.  I wonder how many people in the Indianapolis area lost their homes because they couldn't afford their property tax?  Makes me sick. 


And why in the world are the Army and the Air Force, etc. sponsoring race cars?  They are pretty much taking taxpayer money to pay to sponsor vehicles that costs a butt load of money.  That really chaps my ars too.  ARGH!

All I can say is Hollywood would be proud...
Quite an acting job. I call it *cheerleading.* Trying to push people into an emotional frenzy. There are many that think pushing someone into an emotional frenzy will get them to make a decision for the Lord. Trouble is, that just confuses people and when the emotion wears off the *cheerleaders* are gone, the person who has made the *decision* is confused, does not know why all the emotion left and begin to question, and have no place to turn. I personally believe the choice for God is not made in the heat of an emotional moment but in a moment of quiet, clear clarity built on a solid base of faith. I do not mean to cast aspersions on anyone's choice of faith. It is just easier to get through the every day if you have that quiet, strong knowledge of faith and not expect to slide through life on an emotional freight train. That does not mean I do not have my emotional moments, because I do; usually associated with music because that is one of the ways God speaks to my heart. However, those who make an emotional decision not based on faith and knowledge of God's word get disenchanted when the *cheerleaders* are gone. That is why counselors are present at the Grahams' gatherings, so that people can talk quietly with someone and understand their decision before it is made. That way they have something concrete to hold onto when the emotion goes away. Just my two cents worth.

God bless!
Way too many get sucked into that Hollywood
Because those "rich" Hollywood folks that so many O lovers love and follow, those folks have so many loopholes for their money, they KNOW they will not be paying taxes out the butt. They can afford folks to help them figure out where to put all that cash to keep it safe from Obama, while they sing, dance, and play for Obama.


Money to Hollywood?

My husband mentioned something about part of the stimulus going to Hollywood.  Can anybody enlighten me on this?  Is this really going to help?  Call me clueless, but I don't get how all this money being given to these corporations is helping.  Makes me a little  in the stomache actually.


Money for hollywood....(sm)
How many people do you think it takes to make a movie -- go all the way down to the key grip?  Again, that's jobs.  Not all job creation is going to be the jobs you want them to be.  There are numerous industries in this country and not everyone can build a bridge.
sure as heck NOT hollywood either!!!

I think maybe the far left and most of Hollywood are antigun. sm
But your average every day moderate Democrat, at least the ones I know, all own guns.
The poster probably believes what Hollywood says
nm
Even if Hollywood were all democrat (which they arent),
Those people are such a small, small minority that what they think or how they might vote doesn't really matter.
Can you distinguish the difference between Hollywood
x
tell the Hollywood crowd that...they always promise to leave, and never go....nm

Yeah, figures that Hollywood is almost all democrat
nm
It gets worse.. -Money for Hollywood movie

I agree. Wish Obama would go join Hollywood

I saw an ex Hollywood agent talking about this on Hannity and Colmes. sm
He said being a conservative in Hollywood is the mark of death. Most of the stars who are conservative just never mention it, although I did see Kelsey Grammar on H&C and he freely admitted he was a Republican and might even think of running for office.  Like you said, go figure. Still, I doubt seriously the MSM will care about BW. It just isn't newsworthy. I could be wrong.  No biggie.
Yeah, did Elvis come back to life? Is this hollywood?

If he wasn't in the White House, though, Hollywood would drop him like yesterday's garbage.

You shouldn't take it there...

We shouldn't sit through any but nothing you said...sm
offers up a reason why we invaded Iraq. I expect the usual Sadaam was evil, brutal, murderous, and his sons ... (and all of it is true). So it is a good thing that out of this all we've taken them out, now what is holding us there. Let's face it, these folks are going to have to fight it out one day. The strongest will win, whether we leave today or ten years from now. Right now they have a PM who is a prior islamic extremist (see Lurker's post titled Disturbing) - we should not support that. Can you not see history repeating itself? Did our current leaders not shake hands with Saddaam? Did we not train up bin Laden? The way we are going about things in this war is not going to leave us any safer - if anything less so - the region is now even more incensed with hate than it was under Sadaam's thumb. I think our best chance at survival (though when our time is up, it's up) is protecting our homeland. Of course we need to keep our hands and ears in the Middle East, and definitely retaliate against any attacks on our soil or Embassies. It's the preemptive idea that I can't get down with.

We should never ever sit through a 9/11. If
Sadaam was responsible then by all means go after him and anyone willing to fight for him. What we are doing in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11. In my mind, they are two issues until it can be proven that Saddam had a hand in the Twin Tower attack.

I was young during the Clinton Admin, so I didn't keep up with foreign affairs as much as I do now and I still do not indulge in them a great deal. But now as I look back I think he did a poor job in retaliating against anti-American attacks.


You shouldn't believe it because it just isn't so.

Believe me, Europeans would absolutely laugh at this. 


I know....shouldn't even go there with her...
but it was, as you said...mildy entertaining. lol.
Why shouldn't it go on?
The debate will only take a couple of hours. Nothing is going to get resolved that quickly anyway.
I think what we shouldn't do is just
sit here and watch it go down.  That simply isn't fair to the millions of families dependent on the industry and in the long run EVERYBODY suffers from it.  I think we need to make them not only make more fuel efficient cars but also more affordable ones.  Kill all the tax cuts for imports so we can compete in the market and start working on alternative fuels.  I don't think anyone has a complete answer for all this yet, I know I don't, but to just sit here and let it happen is asking for even more disaster.
It shouldn't have to, but . . .

people in general suck and are selfish and have no desire to contribute to their communities, and these are almost always the same people that whine and moan about how they don't want governemnt involved.

You shouldn't a-s-s-u-m-e
that because I am not in love with Obama that it means I supported Bush. I for one did not care for Bush at all! I found myself preferring to rub my ears with sandpaper then to listen to his speeches...kinda like I do now, but with Obama!


Then you shouldn't
call yourself a Christian because a Christian finds homosexuality to be sinful and immoral. Me and you worship different Gods, obviously. Mine says homosexuality is an abomination. Love has nothing to do with sodomy.
No I shouldn't have. I was describing me, not you. SM

Yes, but the government shouldn't be
encouraging companies to outsource either. Our country has way messed up priorities when the only people making big bucks are entertainers and greedy CEOs. Meanwhile, we've got unemployed people and poverty. Hey, let's send our money, our technology and our private data to a country that HATES us.
So it shouldn't be allowed
because everyone might suddenly become gay and there would be no offspring? How about artificial insemination? This is a new one on me!
Shouldn't your pen name be "ROBOT"?

Sorry you couldn't do better......shouldn't have

It shouldn't be about race
But for a lot of people it is. I won't vote for him, but race has nothing to do with it. Interestingly, my 79-year-old aunt thinks we should vote FOR him because of race. She says "Oh, we owe it to them."

Interesting too, I think Obama's commercials have been playing the race card recently - the white one. All of his recent commercials in my area have shown him with his mom and grandparents in cozy home-spun settings.


They should hate this shouldn't they?
nm
shouldn't have said illegal, but
does all that make you think this election is going to be legitimate? Why, oh why can't people just do things straight up and let the people really be heard. I am sick of the whole thing, and honestly do not believe it really matters who wins either way... they are all politicians
I"m hearing it and why shouldn't they

get money for a bailout? Wall Street and the banks did, but WS and the banks are HOLDING ONTO the money for BONUSES, not to bail themselves out. GM and Chryler need it to KEEP JOBS.


The bailout was wrong in the first place because everyone would want money, but that's the only thing they could come up with at the time. What's done is done but I don't think we ought to keep throwing money out there. NP and Barney Fife are too free with money that's not theirs and they should be thrown out of office. 


Shouldn't you be concerned about where
all those millions given to Louisiana to rebuild went to? They went to state park projects in the northern part of the state and then LA governor lost track of where the other millions went to.........

If you're so worried about the residents of NO and want to blame the government for all their woes, maybe you should ask why Mayor Negan had the casinos going full blast the day before the hurricane was due to hit? Why wasn't he getting all his federall funded citizens out of NO? Louisiana has always been a state of corruption much like Illinois and until their citizens demand better, they won't get it! On second thought, with so many criminals ran out of New Orleans, maybe it would be a better place to live!!!! They're probably all back by now though, robbing, stealing, and murdering those those who actually do work for a living....
Shouldn't you have considered all that BEFORE you

We shouldn't nuke them.

Sheesh...that would be stupid.  Once we nuke them, everyone will pull out the nukes and you can kiss our planet good bye.  You won't have to worry about co2 emission and going green then.


What should happen is that the UN grow some balls and actually stand up to bullies like this instead of cowering back like they have always done. 


What does this tell you about quacks that run other countries?  Threatening to nuke us unless we apologize?  And you are worried about us waterboarding.  Give me a break!!!  These are also the psycho freaks Obama wants to have tea and crumpets with to discuss things.  What a joke!  Good luck with that one Barry.


If the UN apologizes, that gives N. Korea some control and that is what they are wanting.  N. Korea is all about making threats to make them look big and bad anyway.  We should definitely keep a close eye on them, but we shouldn't bust down the door yet.  I personally feel other countries need to step up and carry the big stick for a while.  Not only can we not afford another war, but we don't have enough military numbers to do it either.  Why can't other countries grow some balls and actually stand up to bullies like this?  They always make us do it and then they complain about us.  Like the French.....wouldn't they be speaking German if we didn't put our nose in their business and help them? 


This man shouldn't be preaching to anyone.

Rev. Wright Says 'Them Jews' Won't Let Obama Talk to Him


The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he doesn't have any regrets over his severed relationship with President Obama. 



FOXNews.com


Wednesday, June 10, 2009






In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn't spoken to him since they parted ways last year, because "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me." 

He suggested White House advisers were keeping the two separate. 


"Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," Wright said, according to Virginia's Daily Press. "They will not let him ... talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is." 


Obama left Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago last year following the very public controversy over his inflammatory sermons. 


Wright sporadically has granted media interviews and made public appearances since. In the Daily Press article, he also claimed that the president did not send a delegation to the recent world racism conference in Geneva for fear of offending Jews. 


"Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright said. 


Wright said he voted for Obama in November and has no regrets over their severed relationship.


"Regret for what ... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I've been preaching for 20 years?" he said. 


It shouldn't be. It's a private decision, not one to

I guess we shouldn't be surprised
I did think ABC would be (at least on the surface) neutral. God forbid they should portray the woman honestly.

The Republicans should have cried foul, but the Dems would just have turned that into sour grapes.

You're right, it shouldn't have been posted.
It was a terrible thing to post and completely stupid.

There wasn't a threat made though, and people post stupid things all the time.

If the FBI is watching for stuff like that, they certainly don't need MT Stars to keep a watch for them.

Yes it was moronic, but I agree with poster above....let's be real here. Moderator made an appropriate decision and removed it. Move on.
Sure they're cheaper. But shouldn't there be

I think they shouldn't bail them out. They're
All those crooks in the banking, insurance/HMO industries, and most certainly Wall Street, need to be held accountable, have all of their assets seized to help pay for this, and then they should all be sent to Guantanamo Bay to rot.
Maybe you shouldn't put too much stock in left-

leaning polling companies, Mrs.  The fact, Obamanation's poll numbers are dropping and dramatically.  However, I don't think he cares a fig.  His real agenda is to destroy the economy, and when anarchy comes and his mask removed, he'll institute marshal law, and set himself up as dictator.  That's his plan and those who pull his marionette strings.  He is tooooooooooooo stoooooooooopid to do it on his own.  That's what he has surrounded himself with left-wing America hating "experts."  You'll be singing a different tune before long.


 


 


Shouldn't someone who taught school

for 20 years know it's 'twice as well to be thought half as good"?  And besides, that slogan was stolen from the feminist movement.  A woman has to work twice as hard and do twice as well to be thought half as good as a man."
