I have to be more tolerant

[sigp220.45]

A very good cop friend of mine cut off all contact with his only son because of politics. Harsh words, bad feelings, blah blah blah. His son died of an aneurysm at 32. I thought my friend's wife would crumble and die.

I don't expect my family or friends to share my beliefs. I tolerate theirs. It isn't a bad word.

My daughter is the most adorable purple-haired liberal you've ever seen. I raised her to think for herself, and she does. I love her more than life itself and she loves me. Why would I let something as ridiculous as politics get in the way of that?

Movies? I could not possibly care less about the politics of an actor. Have you ever sat through the credits at the end? Lots of folks there. I have it on good authority most key grips and foley men are staunch conservatives. They need work, too.

I'm convinced most of the "I'll never see a movie with xxxx in it" people actually haven't been to a movie theater since Lawrence of Arabia.

Well, put sigp220.45. Well put indeed, sir!

 

[Rustyt1953]

sigp220.45 can I have your autograph?

 

[UncleEd]

Well, put sigp220.45. Well put indeed, sir!

Yes. And yes.

And yes. And yes.

Hey, what about Barbarella?!

OK, that was a fun movie.

However, I think her acting was limited to staying in shape and making the occasional semi-sultry movements. I've dated girls equally in shape with better moves, so "meh" on Jane.

Ditto all that.

I have liberal family members, and love them all. We avoid political discussions and all is well. We tolerate each other's differing opinions, and just avoid contentious subjects.

The only actors I really despise enough that I refuse to watch their movies are the ones who rail against violence with guns, then turn around and make millions off of portraying violent people with guns. That kind blatant hypocrisy is something I won't tolerate - or spend my money to support. For example I used to really like Liam Neeson, and Mat Damon. Not any more.

 

[islandguy]

Yeah, what He said.

Yep, I agree 100%.

 

[Onomea]

... I've dated girls equally in shape with better moves, so "meh" on Jane.

Holy cow, Steve! You're my hero!

 

[HOUSTON RICK]

If you want to make money, you do not remake Charleton Heston movies. Not a complicated idea, but it seems to be stumping Hollywierd.

Paul Newman and Lorne Green were in the same category.

Aw come on...

I don't watch Jane Fonda movies largely because most of them are rubbish, along with her acting. JMNSHO you understand.

You think 'Barbarella' was rubbish?

 

[rwsmith]

I have noticed....

Always amazes me how WE have to be more tolerant. What about THEM?

...that holding some traditional values makes a person narrow minded, hypocritical, misogynistic, violent and a host of other things that I probably shouldn't mention here.

 

[steelslaver]

I am very tolerant. I don't shoot a lot of people that should be shot.

I am married to a Bernie fan. I love her even though I think his is I have said enough here.

 

[SC_Mike]

IMHO tolerance starts behind the finger pointed at me.

 

[andy52]

I'm not going to get into the tolerant or lack there of part of this but I have seen the movie and consider the 1976 version to be the better of the two.

 

[chiefbob81]

Tolerant = I tolerate then I rant, tolerant!

 

[LVSteve]

See post #25.

 

[Inusuit]

One of my best friends of over 50 years standing is a rabid anti-gun liberal. We find other things to talk about.

 

[Chuck24]

Or other people could be less looney

 

[hittman77]

I would have answered, "Love you too."
