Her definition of Europe is probably the French and Italian Riviera, because if she strays too far from it she might see some nasty things.

Like the Balkans, neo-Nazi skinheads, Basque bombs going off, or Muslim communities festering with jihad. Or God forbid, soccer hooligans and Eastern Europe.

Last time I checked, Rome was the most successful empire of all time, to be forever imitated but never matched. The last attempt was, oh yeah, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

If America is an empire, it is a pitiful one by comparison.

This is someone who has had everything handed to her her whole life. She has no clue about how most people live. She never attended even a day of college and never had to pound the pavement for a job. She is wealthy and married to someone wealthy and whatever good looks she has are just an accident of birth. She should be falling down on her knees in gratitude that she grew up in a country where people are allowed to earn whatever they can and keep most of it to give to their children.

But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe.

I believe you, Gwyneth. It's clear you have been strongly influenced by exposure to Eurowimp sensibilities.

America is such a young country...

World's oldest democracy (republic if you prefer). World's oldest constitution (unless you count the Magna Carta).

European sensibility, otherwise know as apathy.

Just for this, I hope Brad Pitt broke her effing black heart when he dumped.

Stupid idiot.

And she didn't even come up with the name by herself. She took it from her husband's agent, whose daughter is named Apple as well.

re post # 13: You didn't mention "Duets"...while there wasn't blood & gore involved, it was slaughtered at the box office (as are most her movies). I've only seen her in 1 movie and that was enough for me.

But I feel that I have a more European sensibility, a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe. And it's a strange time to be an American now.

You know what the difference is between Europeans and Americans?

We're the one's that left.

Yeah, I've just lost all interest in seeing her movies. Too bad cuz she's a fairly good actress, but I'm not paying for her to become a bigger star so she can keep using her media power to push a politcal agenda. If you want to be an entertainer and talk politics then fine. Feel free. But I will consume accordingly.

And this country she hates has made her rich. Why doesn't she sell everything she owns and donate all of it to some environmental group -- or the terrorists she wants to coddle.

I saw all of Ms. Paltrow in that movie that had that other ding-dong, Vigoro Mortonson, or whatever, and Michael Douglas as the cuckolded husband.
Hey, she's a (trim) young woman trying to raise an Apple and head up the United Nations IIBTC* all by her lonesome.

"I hate American football!"
"Why's that Miss Paltrow?"
"The players are so greedy & cheap, fighting over 25 cents!"
"How so, Miss Paltrow?"
"The last time I tried to watch a game, all the players could say was,
'Get that quarter back!'"

"America is such a young country, with an adolescent swagger about it."

What piece of crap book did she read that in, because you know that line did not originate in her tiny little head. People who go overseas and bad mouth their country are the lowest scum there is. Such small minded people who think they are oh so big minded. I've always been able to separate my politics and entertainment. But I will never pay to see her in anything.

Why can't Hollyweird idiots understand that we're not going to beg them to stay?

You have the money to go, start going and quit jawing.

Take ALL your friends with you. Bye.

Still here? Why?

I just had a baby and thought, 'I don't want to live there.' Bush's anti-environment, pro-war policies are a dis. . . ." Well, you can guess the rest. Her speech is deeply felt and not unintelligent, yet entirely predictable and ill-suited to these pages, where analysis of American domestic affairs is confined to the highly partisan manoeuvrings of Brad and Jennifer.

Many thanks to a competent interviewer who totally gets it. Refreshing.
