Tom Cruise spars with Matt Lauer on 'Today'

[COBOL2Java]

Hey, you wanna see a total Tom Cruise meltdown, let him be interviewed by Charles Krauthammer. Before becoming a political commentator, Charles was a psychiatrist. Just let 'ol raving lunatic Tom try this nonsense with him!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Did you find what I said funny?

Did you see Shields on Oprah?

One hour of horrific details about how she contemplated killing her child and herself, what kind of knives she would use, how many pills, how high a ledge.

Sixty minutes of brutal psychopathy. And all the while that great child expert, Ms. Winfrey, is holding her hand and nodding.

Brooke Shields had cancer, and endured massive hormone manipulation for her in-vitro pregnancy. No wonder she was frazzled.

But to imply, as Shields clearly did, that all women are at risk from her kind of dementia is ignorant, cruel and self-serving.

[Aleighanne]

All the "facts" and "knowledge" he has on psychiatry is the muck fed to him by the Scientologists. He has gone around before spouting half-truths and other lies about psychiatry supported by Scientology.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Ah yes, TAPS! I think you've pinpointed it, my friend. (Although there's always the possibility that he lost it in LOSIN' IT.)

[CFC__VRWC]

I thought the consensus around here was that America was over-medicated on psychotropic drugs, and that too many children were on amphetamines like Ritalin.

I won't argue with that, but I also don't want to hear about it from the likes of Tom Cruise, with his gerbil-sized IQ and his whacked-out pseudo-religion.

[EdHallick]

There`s something we have not yet seen here about Mr.Cruise..Nobody would be so foolish to destroy a multi-mill career like this. He says "There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance." Is he kidding me? Maybe Mr. Cruise should talk to diabetics. I don`t think "L.Ron" is going to be able to show diabetics how to mentally create insulin.

[grellis]

"Because I don't talk about things that I don't understand.”

So tell us, Tom...when the hell are you going to STFU?

Sorry, folks, I'm sick of this guy. Him and that damn Geldof...

[EdHallick]

lol!! That`s my theory about this whole Tom Cruise thing. He thinks Scientology can cure him of being a homo gay, and the reason he got so excited on Oprah was not because he met this girl, but because he thinks he is cured. I bet you he did a Tony Perkins, he popped his wad for the first time in his life with a girl.

[Rightfootforward]

"Sounds like the babbling idiot Tom has the attention span and intellectual depth of a cocker spaniel."


Hey, hey! Whatcha got against poor little cocker spaniels? Once owned one named Henry who was anything but stoopid. Okay, so he was probably schizophrenic -- at least he was entertaining. Far more so than Tommy-boy.

My guess is T-boy has psychotropic envy.

[Sonny M]

The head honchos of the Church don't believe that crap, a simple car accident would do the trick.

You can't throw a rock at a sci-fi convention without hitting a scientologist who will want to talk to you about hovercars.

[Antioch]

Yeah, in this instance I support Tom Cruise. It kinda amazes me to see some Freepers constantly make fun of Cruise. He doesn't drink. He's against drugging to remedy psychological 'issues' (Ritalin, etc). He didn't get violent (or even profane!) when the water got squirted in his face.

I'd put Cruise's Drug rehabilitation "philanthropy" at about the same level as Tony Robbins filming himself handing out blankets to the needy in his infomercials. The goal is recruitment, not charity. As for enslaving people, destroying families, and personal bankrupcy, scientology is worse than any drug or alcohol addiction

And it certainly won't help people in the afterlife.

[rdcorso]

Only a jerk-off who lost touch with reality could follow a cult formed by L(Loser) Ron Blubber.Does anyone know what Tom's real name is?

[grellis]

And Brooke Shields did no one a favor when she detailed how she wanted to kill her newborn child and throw herself out a window.

I could not possibly disagree with you more. There are women--thank God, very, very few women--who suffer from post-partum psychosis. Maybe just one unfortunate woman heard what Shields went through and, most importantly, heard that she got the help she needed, and recognized herself in Shields' story. Maybe that one unfortuante woman realized that she, too, needed help. Sounds like a big-ass favor to me.

[debg]

See the whole thing

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And meanwhile millions of other women heard her bizarre story and worried.

Did you watch the show or read her book? I suggest you check it out to learn exactly what you're praising.

[justche]

Agreed!

[Antioch]

So thats what a is a thetan looks like...

In the Scientology, man is held to consist of three parts—thetan, mind and body. The thetan is the spiritual being. One is a thetan who has a mind and who occupies a body. As is explained more fully below, the thetan is that which animates the body and uses the mind.

"Plus to my knowledge, Cruise doesn't go around bashing Bush, the WOT, or the country that makes him rich.

FYI - Mr. Cruise is on record as saying the reason his children (w/Nicole Kidman) are living with her in Australia is because he believes the United States is NOT a good place to raise children. (But he sure loves the money it gives him.) This also makes it very easy for him to be an absent father. More like a visiting uncle, which paves the way for him to meet the "extraordinary" (his words) newest "love" and (already) future wife after, what, 8 weeks of "dating"? Sounds pretty flaky to me. Even Nicole doesn't believe it.

[debg]

Thetans, cretins...this boy's on drugs!
