Turns out the French (and the rest of the world for that matter) was right about Iraq.

I didn't argue that. I refered to Saddam.

Hey D$, looking at the situation we are in now. . the WMD, the likely Haliburton conspiricy, N. Korea & their nukes, etc. . .do you think it was the right move to invade iraq? We showed our approval for a pre-emptive war based on the potential threat of terrorism (at least, that's how bush justified it.)? What if every country had such policies . . .Like India, or Isreal? Just wondering . . .

(Nice radio show by the way)

yea know, I'm not quite sure what to think of that... I somewhat agree with some of what he is saying.. about Bush needing out and the stupid shit with french fries and so on... but why when he is in the public eye, why dose he bash the US insted of using his public trust to help bring about change..

I guess the way I look at it, is fuck him... if he isn't willing to work to support this country then fuck it he can stay in France. If he isn't willing to help make a change, then he dosn't deserve to live here.

There is no diffrence in the way the US, France and Russia went about Iraq.. The US had things to gain by attacking Iraq.. while France and Russia had things to lose by attacking Iraq.. So in the end each country acted in the same respect, for it's own intrest. It's too bad the intrests were all about money from each country and not about the people living in Iraq.

.....and near death escapades and overdoses........

He is colorful and he has changed but he is such a free spirit but he will never conform....good for him he wants to protect his kids but Depp helped add to all the things he despises.

What was odd was after he filmed that pirate movie he went on various talk shows, and he still talked like the pirate. Went back and watched some old arvhives of him on VH1 and he did not used to talk like that....

:1orglaugh

hundreads of millions? in the States? wow 2/3 or even the entire country is a patriotic Johnny Depp fan... that CANT accept him saying that america is dumb for letting a president and party manipulate them like they do?! (which is a sentiment shared by most democrats)... Btw, in England... where blind patriotism is nearly inexistant... only 1/4 of British still have faith in Blair and believe he didnt mislead the population with Iraq...

I think thats what Depp what referring to.. blind patriotism in america.. sponsored by the government and their fanatic republican friends...

As for him saying that Chirac is the man... I'll have to disagree with that... Chirac is an asshole...

Nothing feeble about it. You're bashing someone for stating their opinion. What makes your opinion any more valuable than his your highness? Just because someone has an opinion that conflicts with yours doesn't make it wrong.

It's not his fault. Being an actor and living in France must be like going to college. He's constantly surrounded by socialist, Ivory Tower thoughts.

Whenever the Republicans are in office, the Democrats cry that the current US administration is the worst ever.

Whenever the Democrats are in office, the Republicans cry that the current US administration is the worst ever.

With the whole of history on my side I'll say it's hard to take any such comments seriously. Need I remind anyone that Republicans (foolishly IMHO) went so far as to impeach Clinton?

good, fuck him

remember edward sissor hands? need i say more

Freedom of Speach people come on!

Oh yea and he is effin HOT too!

I really like Johnny. Last week there was a showing of Ed Wood in Balboa Park. It sounded really stupid but I ended up laughing my ass off. Can't wait to see his new movie!

Ed Wood is a classic.

well, the thruth is not always in the middle... and an attitude like that is certainly dangerous... implying that the opposition (of certain decisions) is ALWAYS partisan... and the party in power will always do a fairly good job without causing major damage (based on US history) ...

THe modern era is new, only 2 world war... anything can happen... dont look at history for confort :2 cents:

Oh okay. So in that sense you're bashing me for having an opinion about someone elses opinion.

Did you see Pirates? Best flick I saw this summer.

Johnny Depp is probaly the most under rated actor out there and hit the nail right on the head. If I had the choice I'd live elsewhere too. Let's see we have the worst educational system of all the industrialized nation and NO health care. hmmm we really rule don't we! Go George Bush we missed about 10% of the world population that doesn't hate us can we please have four more years of you, Asshahahahaha and your corporate conglomerations

I will give Depp props for actually doing what he says.... many of the hollywood elite said they were going to move out of the country is Bush was elected... I do not think many have lived up to their threats.

do freedom fries go with that shake?

Yeah, except he moved to France in 1998 - during the Clinton Administration. His move had nothing to do with politics.

Isnt Depp overseas because they are looking for his ass here...supposedly for the murder of his parnter of the viper room....or something like that...

got to get the enquirer to know the real truth

:1orglaugh

I don't understand......why don't you have a choice? Just contact several embassies and start the process. If I thought I would be better off somewhere else I would do something about it. I personally have lived more than hafl my life outside the US and I would not want to leave again.....but hey, if you think that you are so much better off elsewhere....make it happen!

Try http://travel.state.gov/

I like that fact that JD has left the country....at least he is doing what he is saying. There are a lot of actors that promised they would leave and I'm still waiting.....

dont forget the Globe

My point is he is going to stay.... he is sticking to his word. I personally think most people in Hollywood are loons who are out of touch with reality....

Depp is an ok actor, nothing great.... Pirates of the Carribian was lame in my opinion....

That and his wife is French, right?

Anyway, of course I saw Pirates. Fucking fantastic movie. This year/summer has yielded some bad ass movies. Going to be getting a shitload of DVDs for Christmas. Watched Two Towers again last night, can't wait for Return of the King! The bonus footage on TT is great.

But fortunately, you had 100+ billions to waste waging war on Iraq because Israel wanted you to. Think about how much good could have been done in USA for that money.

I think vanessa paradis is actually canadian but I<m not sure . she made career in france fo sho:P

because of israel lol WAKE UP

What attitude? I didn't say anything like what you just said nor did I imply that. I said I don't take seriously the claims of the opposition party in each and every election cycle that the current administration is the worst in history. THAT is political.

Sure, some of the time someone's opinions are in line with a particular ideology. Great. Just as often, someone's opinions follow a party line. Why is that Republicans complained loudly about Clinton's bombing Iraq in 1998 and why was it Democrats that complained in 2003? What changed? This kind of thing happens all the time. Republicans were being partisan in 1998 and Democrats in 2003. This is completely normal. Why should we expect differently?

The words of the last two presidents regarding Iraq and Saddam are nearly indistingushable. For example, "The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow."

It makes absolutely no sense for a Democrat to say things like this is the worst administration in history and Bush lied about Iraqi WMD when the Democratic president prior to him said and believed the same thing. Yeah, I'd say that's partisan.

If you're pointing to the World Wars as some sort of "domino theory" of course one would have to ignore the fact that there have been hundreds of post World War II conflicts and yet no more world wars. The idea that "we might end up in another world war" is really no more likely than "Saddam might end up another Hitler".

Hey Funbrunette! Whatcha say?? $50 to make me holla b/c you get PAID to do the wild thing?

Exactly Maru we could have financed National health coverage with the money we used to bomb Iraq. But then George Bush's friends wouldn't have gotten the contracts to rebuild all the shit we blew up.

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

But, Aleister, any politician pledging for National health coverage would be dubbed a leftist liberal.

Lyndon B Johnson wanted "the great society", a USA without poverty. Today, he is the most hated of American presidents, partly because of the Vietnam quagmire, but also because he actually wanted to eradicate poverty in the most prosperous country on earth.

Might I remind you that there are hundreds of planes leaving this country every single day and there is not one law that says you can't get on one of those planes?

You DO have the choice - so don't go saying otherwise.

He's 40 already? Fuckkkkkkkk we're getting old
And he's definitely still bangable... yummy

There's also a big difference in his perception of reality which is skewed by his wealth, and fame.

Ed Wood is a top notch film.

Ed Wood may have been one of the worst filmmakers ever but you gotta give the man some credit, he at least got films made :)

Not too many people can say that.

Johnny Depp is the man!

DH

"Most hated of American presidents"? Where do you get that from? I doubt if you conducted a poll many Americans would choose LBJ as "America's most hated president". I am guessing that more would probably choose Nixon, for example. At least half of Americans think "The Great Society" was a great idea. Those people are called Democrats.

Vietnam certainly tarnished LBJ's presidency.

I'm telling Chris! lol

Aleister is all talk.
