I'm afraid I'll throw something and ruin my TV. Actually, haven't watched in years. Despise Hollywood and always have.

I kind of think of this along the lines of the saying, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." I want to know exactly what these subversives are doing. The better I know someone, the more effectively I can pray.

I am already angry enough just imagining what those leftist creeps are going to say with our troops being tortured and murdered. I am not sure I will ever be able to watch another Hollywood leftist again.

chris cooper should have said he supported the troops. yeah, we all want peace, but ,in this context, peace means surrender.

F these arrogant sobs.

Why would I want to watch something so insignificant instead of keeping vigil for our troops? To me watching the Academy Awards (especially this year) is sacreligious.

LOL. All Freepers are brave, one way or another. I am not, however, brave enough to give my Victor cat a bath.

Thanks for starting this thread. I need something else to read besides war threads and black muslim threads. Despite what others have posted, there's nothing disgraceful about wanting some temporary diversion.

One of the reasons I consider this significant is because I'm in a foreign country right now and am aware this will be broadcast all over the world. Because of these people's celebrity status, they have been given a platform to shape opinion world wide, not just in the US. We don't ignore what world leaders and politicians say, nor should we ignore one of the worlds greatest propoganda machines. Some are called to be watchmen on the wall, some have other gifts.

You need an optical mouse. I have a logitech wheel mouse, and it's great. You can't have any funny pics on your mousepad, but that's a small tradeoff.
