Obviously you have forgotten when Tom left his wife, Nicole Kidman , and she took their store bought kids to Australia. Tom said he was happy about them being raised in Australia because the USA was an unfit place to raise kids.

That kind of raised my ire.

My memory has it that it was a mutual split as she wanted to go back to her Catholic faith and Cruise didn't want to leave his Scientology. So they have a different belief system; it is allowed under the Constitution.

And don't FReepers also often complain about things wrong with America - public schools and such? In some parts of the U.S. I would agree with Cruise and wouldn't want to raise my kids in such locations.

I'm not defending Scientology, I simply don't understand where all the Cruise-bashing comes from. He seems like a fairly regular and nice guy - for Hollywood standards.
