“Interesting viewpoint. You are privileged to experience...yet another U.N. sponsored soap opera.”
The Surprising and Unfair Cinematic Demise of Orlando Bloom

“As with any new star...(look at the unimpressive Lindsey Lohan), you need time to develop a character that can hold his or her own, without a stunning cast to carry them.”

“Arianna,
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the FCC was infiltrated by religious, right wing nut cases a long time ago.
Hopefully, under the new administration, we'll finally get rid of them.”

Michael Vick: Black Sheep or Scapegoat on Animal Rights?
Commented Aug 18, 2009 at 09:05:58 in Green
“Mr. Baldwin, I hate to disagree with you...but the cold hard facts remain...cold...and hard. So please do not take offense when I suggest that you put your equivocations aside and consider the nature of evil. Once that's done, I doubt if you would be so much like a deer caught in the headlights, dumbly trying to figure out which way you should go.”
The Private Health Insurance Industry is Killing the U.S. Economy
Commented Apr 28, 2009 at 09:00:06 in Politics
“If you really want to put a leash on this industry, freeze assets, and then charge CEO's, along with their board of directors with racketeering and fraud. Result? Heavy jail time for a lot of well-deserving people. Then watch the fur fly, as everybody with something to hide, offers to make the lame walk and the blind see.
Which, oddly enough, stem cell applications would do!”

“Mr. Kuttner, if you knew, what everyone else seems to know, you wouldn't be taking the sun on the roof of a burning building. You'd at least have an umbrella!”
In Cuba Eating Lobster is a Crime and Succeeding in Business Can Land You in Jail
Commented Apr 13, 2009 at 08:56:26 in World
“Give the Cubans - who actually live in Cuba - a break. They're trying to find their way out of want, misery, poverty, insanity. Of course, that makes them nuts. Now if only we could treat our bankers the way they treat their restaurateurs...”
Have We Reached the Tipping Point on Guns?
Commented Apr 06, 2009 at 09:43:38 in Politics
“The very first paragraph in your article is meaningless. Not just about anyone can get a gun. I know it, and you should be smart enough to know it yourself. The second paragraph seems to offer up the idea that a father who was driven mad wouldn't have killed his family, if he didn't possess a firearm?
Then your commentary goes on to show how make beieve is more logical than...reality? I have a unique idea. What if - as we're gauging the importance of facts - people were given a sound education? A good job? Self-respect? Hmm... No, I guess not. You see that sort of approach would take reason.”

“The point being made is not that the father wouldn't have killed his family, but that the argument on the other side (that we need more guns on the streets) is EQUALLY insane and useless.”
A Fish Called Denial
Commented Feb 24, 2009 at 08:23:17 in Politics
“As I read the article, along with some of the commentaries, I was struck with a familiar theme. People living in Mayberry think they're superior to people living anywhere else. Obviously, that''s not so. People living everywhere else...think they're superior to people living in Mayberry!”
Why are we in Afghanistan?
Commented Feb 19, 2009 at 08:58:59 in World
“I certainly applaud this article, except for the fact that it's ancient history. A history that is constantly neglected and ignored. So I ask, where are the readers in Congress? Where are the readers in America? Better yet, why are we still churning out dumbbells who don't know how to read, write or do arithmetic?
Maybe, just maybe, the underlying reason we're in Afghanistan is that we're all over the world, and have this incredibly stupid notion people just want to be like us.”

Obama Must End the War on Drugs -- or Mexico and Afghanistan Will Collapse
Commented Feb 12, 2009 at 09:04:41 in Politics
“This is an excellent article, where every 't' is crossed, and every 'i' is dotted. Mr. Hari knows his craft, did his homework, and aside of some missed research tells a tale of ignorance, arrogance and woe.
Now for an update. If this country decriminalizes drugs on the black market...what's necessary immediately afterward?
Emptying our prisons of drug offenders? Increasing unemployment benefits until the costs make the bank bailouts look tame in comparison? Pass legislation allowing people the right to carry concealed weapons...so they can protect themselves from gangs frantic to make some cash? Make medical benefits universal to take care of the thousands upon thousands of freed psychotics?
Mr. Hari is right. Decriminalization is the solution, but can we handle the repercussions? Can we handle the repercussions of not handling the repercussions? You see, Mr. Hari did not take into account the amount of aspirin all this is going to require.”

“Funny you should mention aspirin.
If you take 13 of them it will be your last headache, yet nowhere in the history of marijuana has one person died from its use.
Emptying jails of drug offenders means the real psychotics will remain behind bars, you do know that because of our twisted drug laws when over crowding occurs murders, rapist and child molesters are let out while the non violent drug offenders are kept in.
Unemployment benefits? You have to have a job before you can draw unemployment and it runs out.
Medical benefits for freed psychotics, where does that come from we don't even provide medical benefits for our vets with mental or physical issues.
The only hysteria would come from those like you who have been feed fear and propaganda form the prohibitionist for far to long.”

“UTTER nonsense; in regards to marijuana, the response would be almost instant, and the grow cycle is so short and fledgling industry already exists all over the country--it's merely hidden. Once legalization kicked in, there would be no "gangs frantic to make some cash," as you put it--your entire post is nothing more than scare tactic propaganda.

Is Obama Locking himself into Afghanistan -- or What?
Commented Feb 06, 2009 at 10:05:21 in World
“The facts are irrefutible. We're broke, thank you very much, Bush & Co. Also we cannot afford any further Teddy Roosevelt Victorianisms. Naivete must give way to common sense. Afghanistan is an empire breaker. Go there and war at your own peril.
That said, I offer a solution. Want to break the warlords' grip on the country? Want to expose the hiding places of international criminals? Simple enough. All you have to do is legalize the narcotics trade. Once the black market is exposed to the light...what came of it will dry up and blow away.”

“The safest yardstick, in which to measure what's happening in the economic capitals of the world, is to find out what it costs to buy a candy bar. Today it costs about a buck and a quarter for a nickel's worth. After that realization, do you really need a meeting of some of the top administrators of the planet to figure out how they screwed up?”

The Bush Nightmare is Over
Commented Jan 18, 2009 at 09:14:13 in Politics
“Mr. Baldwin's article is particularly well written, except for one minor glitch. Almost insignificant, in view of the weight of history, but giving history its due...what about justice? What about corruption? Nepotism? Bribery? Lying to Congress? Lying to the People? Faking evidence to start a war with another sovereign state? Almost absent-mindedly killing off tens of thousands of men, women and children? Starting brush fire wars across the globe? Treason?
What about justice?
Are we to acknowledge, but ignore what was done, in the name of Texas arrogance, ignorance and greed?
What do you say Mr. Baldwin? Should we wish this man no ill at all? Should we wish him, and his cronies, not to spend one day in jail for crimes that would see anyone else spend their lives incarcerated?
I can understand why you would not wish this man ill, but isn't that like wishing Nazis no ill, after the bombs stopped dropping? After the ovens are turned off? After all the gold was safely shipped away to secret coffers? Isn't that an odd perspective, given the enormous harm?
Well written article. It just masks a few horrendous facts.”

Caroline Kennedy? Thanks But No Thanks
Commented Dec 10, 2008 at 09:07:59 in Politics
“The last thing this country needs is another politcal actor, or actress. Which is what this legacy child of multimillionaires is trying to become. Question though, is, why do the Kennedy's even want it? The answer is obvious. They have all the others toys, they've played all the other games, and telling people what to do is such fun!
When you think about it, aren't these the kind of people who reward themselves for doing the most harm, to the most people, for the sake of pride and arrogance?
Yep.”

“All your post reveals is that you have no idea of what Caroline Kennedy has accomplished professionally. And she has accomplished a lot for this country - in fact, I'm willing to bet she has accomplished more than any of her critics on this thread today.
In fact, I'm a bit stunned at all the critics on the left who are so willing to slam her for being a rich Kennedy without ever bothering to look at what she has actually done. This isn't another Paris Hilton here.
What kind of reverse snobbishness is this? This name calling is stupid - and what's worse, if she had been the kind of person to go around trumpeting her accomplishments, you'd all slam her for that, too.
Calling Kennedy one of the, "kind of people who reward themselves for doing the most harm, to the most people, for the sake of pride and arrogance", is a bad reflection on you, not her.
Either give us proof of where and how Caroline Kennedy, (and don't include anyone else, Kennedy or otherwise), has done "the most harm, to the most people, for the sake of pride and arrogance", or admit you jumped on her to be one of the crowd, without evidence or cause.
This is why we lose out on good solid people representing us, because we get what we deserve, and when we act like some of the posters here, we don't deserve anything good.”

“In contemporary history, there can be no more villainous a group of conspirators, than has come out of the Republican controlled Congress and White House. Indicting these racketeers would be like opening up the drapes, and the windows and letting in sunlight and fresh air.”

“The worst that we can say about last night's debate, was that it typified Republican ideology to a point that is absurd. In fact, if we were to grade the focus offered by either opponent, I'd have to say McCain spoke to the dumbells, while Obama spoke to the well-informed and educated.”

“That doesn't bode well for BHO, since the former ("dumbells") outnumber the latter ("well-informed and educated"). Sad, but true.
