Thats a bit of a sweeping generalisation, unless of course you have a link to a study which proves this generalised statement.
If a random person stood up on a soapbox in your downtown wouldn't you label them as crazy and discredit whatever it is they're saying? More
than likely yes. Do we do that when actors get up on their soapboxes?
Actually, in London we have a place called "speakers corner" which is near Marble Arch should anyone be interested, where, on a sunday morning
people gather to rant about whatever they wish and debate whatever the subject matter with the passing public.
However, he didn't stand up on a soap box in the middle of downtown. He's a well known actor who was being interviewed by a well known conspiracy
theorist.
If it had been a random person, this thread would be about "random people thinking they have a right to tell us what their opinions are".
I get the distinct impression that the objectors on this thread just hate the idea that someone who has the fortune to be able to have his say heard
by more than the their next door neighbour, is someone who should be ridiculed for unrelated occurences in his life.
Isn't GWB an alcoholic, and yet he managed to become President of the US, add to that the numerous cockups and fopars he's done over the years, and
yet he still remains the "peoples" choice, go figure, the US has GWB as President yet the posters on this thread get bent out of shape cos' Charlie
Sheen asks some very valid questions.......

If you haven't, watch how the Hollywood guys are portrayed in it
Team America is brilliant, in that it takes the p!ss out of all, but lets not forget that it's a tongue in cheek movie, not a documentary.
