I said I think it's important for celebrity figures to use their exposure to encourage people to find out more about issues. I didn't say people should be sheep and take what these famous people have to say at face value.


The problem is, too many people do just that. Heck, I live with one of them.  :( Everything out of Cher's mouth is political gospel and I can't stand it.


Yeah, but it's not the celebrity's fault. It's the damn sheep.

He didn't like me calling him that.  :lol:  I expect him to start bleating out "four legs good, two legs bad" everytime I try to have a debate with him.  :lol: But he's my baby and I love him anyways.  :)

I haven't been reading?  I think you guys should go back through some of the posts you have attacked me on in the past.  You normally take something I say and warp it around to mean something totally different.

In this case, I said that I think it's wrong for people to listen to celebrities and base their opinion off of what they said.  I also think it's silly for celebrities to be giving opinions in public about stuff they know nothing about.  Sure, if they encouraged people to find out more information, but the ones I'm talking about don't do that.

If you went on national TV and encouraged people to read up on the canidates and vote wisely, that's great.  If you get up there and tell me I should vote for one over another because of how poorly they have managed the economy, you're smoking crack.  No one out there knows you, and you don't have any professional experience to be making that call.  Anyone who doesn't know you should dismiss your opinion, and instead look to any facts you present.

Too often these "stars" tell people what they should do and give no valid reasons or facts for it.  They just use their popularity to sway the ignorant masses.  That's wrong.  If you think it's okay, that's fine.  It's only my opinion.

It's your choice to listen to them or not. The ignorant masses are just that... ignorant.

No... not zoot from the holy grail. It's my way of making fun of the overly used word "w00t" commonly used in first person shooters.
