Jolie slams West for barring refugees
Reuters ^ | 10-10-06 | Reurters Staff

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie on Tuesday accused the West of cold-heartedness and hypocrisy in trying to shut out migrants, including refugees, from Africa and other hotspots.

More than 7,000 people have died trying to get into Europe over the past decade, according to Jolie, whose comments appeared in the magazine "Refugees," published by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for whom she is a goodwill ambassador.

That skank was probably cheering when El Reno sent in her stormtroopers for Elian.

"Who hasn't she had sex with?"

Give her time, she'll get that job done.

Well except for me, IMO she's a skank.

There are millions of women smarter and more beautiful than that skank.

She does one thing right though, she shows that its still possible to sleep your way to the top in hollywood.

Angelina, may I suggest other countries like North Korea, Cuba, Russia, Iran, and China, start opening their hearts and doors to the world's refugees. As a matter-of-fact, why don't you and Brad go to these countries and see if you can open any doors for the poor.

Me. And I am starting to feel good about that fact.

Probably not, since that's been the policy since the Reagan years. Not a new enough 'cause' for her...

I wonder if she objects to the policy that requires us to return Cuban refugees whom we catch at sea.

Hey, take comfort. She's already way past her prime by Hollywood standards. Seen Julia Roberts, lately? Is she still alive?

Nothing has a shorter shelf life than an actress.

I wonder if she would have blamed Roosevelt for not taking in 6 million Jews before WWII.

Instead of whing about the West not taking refugees, she should condemn those nations and the brutal regimes that create them.

They aren't married, nor will they be, Brad says, until all people who want to marry (i.e. homosexuals) can get married. She is a homewrecker and a leftist snob. He is a horndog who forsook his marriage vows for an airhead he worked with on a movie and now is milking every bit of publicity he can get by being a UN do-gooder around the world. Both need to grow up.

Dear Angelina & Brad,
Why don't you stay in Africa?

IMO she's a skank.


There was a friend of her Father who said she's a horribly mean individual.

Wouldn't doubt it. He's an idiot, she's a skank. They deserve each other.

I love her. She is the perfect woman.

She says what she wants does who she wants and gets what she wants.

She has all the money she needs the best looking husband and as many kids she wants without having to worry about insurance.

I love her.

She needs to show me how to not judge people and care for others without contempt. Do these things in the name of Jesus.

Then she will be the perfect Christian.

This from the women who recently stiffed a hospital in Namibia out of a promised donation of 300K.

In my book, Angelina is one of those women who can just about say anything she wants to, if you get my drift.

Anyhow, there's nothing wrong with someone reminding us all about the plight of true refugees.

Anyhow, I like her. She's going to play Dagny Taggert.

Actually he's a great guy. He does lots of fundraising, doesn't make a big deal out it. Every year for many years he's helped raise money for Chabad, and he's not even Jewish. He seems normal, she seems nutso.

Me.

And since I'm not in the habit of sticking my "member" into petri dishes, that's not going to change.
