charlie chaplin -- reality check

www.youtube.com...

this would probably be early 1940 or 41...
Charlie is a American. and its a wonder he preaches what I have been saying... and its only common sense with a little fore thought.
even I wonder how this is going to unfold, we never had space based
weapons pointed downward. and it only takes a little group to rain terror over the globe.

Charlie Chaplin was American?

No actually he was English.

I can't watch the video right now, but i'll watch it later.

Holy crap, he could give that same speach today and it wouldn't seem dated at all. What they say is true; "The more things change, the more they stay the same."

He was British. He lived in America up until 1952, during the McCarthy Era, when the FBI brought pressure on the INS to revoke his visa to reenter the country after a brief trip home. He then ended up in Switerland and remained there till he died.

Well he was English. Why are you saying he was British as if Britain is another country entirely. Incidentally you can't be "British." It's like saying there is a British accent. Britain is England, Scotland and Wales.

You might think i'm being picky....

thank you for this video.

Wouldn't it be cool if we found a way to play it in every football stadium sunday..or hell..just during the national championship on janurary 7th?

hijack the tv broadcast. we need a wakeup call like this.

and it needs to be sent out to more than just "our types"

I know this, that is why I said he is Ameican.

its easier than you might think. research the cable broadcast technology and you will see with glarring obvious weak link. however, it is only local so If one was going to do this.... it should be in the metro areas accross the nation.

just follow the lines back to the trunk, and lookie lookie a connection that disconnects the network and is the same connector for a VCR or DVD Player.. how convienant.

You are not being picky, I'm English and don't think myself as British.

Charlie is a legend and well before his time. Apart from his films he wrote some nice music too.

Shall watch the video later.

did you even watch the video.... he may have been born elsewhere, but just on this speech alone makes him an American, give me huddled masses etc...
we are a nation of other nations.... and we must keep ISLAM off our shores or else.

reply to post by Anti-Evil


After that ridiculous statement i am not even going to bother watching the video.

reply to post by Anti-Evil


I just read a transcript of the speech. It was great and very meaningful. Just a shame you had to spoil it with your bigotry. I have no idea what Islam had to do with the speech, or how the speech made Chaplin "American." Your views seem to be going against what is said in the speech.

In the words of Beefcake whom I have not seen for awhile now.
Wow just wow.

That was great did you just find that or you knew of it and found it? SnF

Why can`t you be British mate?I`m from Scotland,
live in England and I`m British!
Oh and Northern Ireland is part of Britain too.
Pointless post pal!

reply to post by Elmer_Dinkley


If you want to call yourself British then fair enough, but i'd consider you Scottish. Just because you disagreed with what i said didn't make my post pointless.

reply to post by Elmer_Dinkley


Also you're wrong. Northern Ireland is not part of Britain. But Northern Ireland is part of the full country's name which is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Brilliant.

And we exiled him for being a "Communist."

reply to post by Grumble


wow, a Communist...? Power to the People is Communism..? I do admit I dont agree with every thing his speech dived into. but it was clearly American Inspiration... I dont know maybe a little viva la france mixed in.
but a good speech none the less ... enemy of old becomes enemy a new.
