OT-Hollywierd Fact or fiction?

I'm still waiting for some reasonable discussion from your direction, but all I keep hearing is the same old thing. As a matter of fact, the _exact_ same old thing. There's no point in using facts and logic with folks like you, so we don't even bother trying to refute your arguments anymore. If you could use your brain instead of letting "journalists" who publish their crap on the web think for you, it might actually be enlightening. I know that when you wake up in the morning you need to decide whether to stay in bed or go piss (well, you could do both, but I'll give you some credit) that is actually free will and independent thought, and the relief from letting the drug residue drain from your body is a direct result of that minute decision, and you still have the option to continue to think for yourself for the rest of the day. Some of us have more experience at it than others, noted merely by the nature of our responses. I'm paraphrasing here, but someone once said "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Let's not forget, based on Soviet archives made available to researchers in

He knew something was going on, but he destroyed a lot of lives and careers because he really didn't care who he painted with his brush.

The 9mm out of that short barrel is not known for being a critter stopped of any note. But if you are comfortable with it..shrug. Lots of online projects for the KelTecs btw

Also known as Ma Deuce. Not real concealable, but in certain situations...invaluable

Actors, who's trade is in emotions, might be more likely to liberal. The exceptions are when testosterone is needed to play the part, like Bruce Willis, Steven Seagal, Tom Selleck, Kurt Russell, etc. Those guys are not going to play the role of a Jewish hairdresser/lawyer from New York. They don't look like liberals. They look like men. Hollywood must make money, and despite the pinko agenda, they must hire real men to play real men.

Don't forget SFC Sabu Dastigir, AKA Sabu the Elephant boy from Tarzan movies. SFC Dastigir DFC was a ball turret gunner for a full tour.

BTW, according to an essay in the web page "Tender Tales", Tony Curtis (real name: Bernard Schwartz) served aboard sub tenders although he was qualified to serve on subs.

Well then, if history is any guide to the future, several of the soldiers in the Iraq war will become famous movie actors, no?

What are you talking about? McCarthy was damned because he refused to name them. The one he did name was dead on a soviet agent.

Perhaps you're thinking of the House Un-American activities committee, which DID make mistakes.

Now I know you're talking about the HUAC. Senator McCarthy was a senator, not a member of the house.

This is a myth. McCarthy's committee publicly named 83 individuals because they had invoked the 5th Amendment in private hearings. He specifically accused these people of treason: Howard McMurray, Mary Jane Keeney, John Service, Gustavo Duran, Julian Wadleigh, and Harlow Shapley.

He also gave additional names to the Senate -- 81 of them -- accusing them of communist "involvement." Some had, indeed, been communists during the '30s. Most had nothing to do with communism.

Although McCarthy did try in the early days to keep names private, he loosened his grip on that effort as he came under more political heat. Eventually, he was accusing everyone in sight.

Another kettle of fish...and reptiles, amphibians, and bird-brains.

Nope. The McCarthy committee was a Senate committee.

Like Rock Hudson?

LOL. Good one.

Polar. WWII was a democrat war. FDR & Truman.

Right. The Germans and Japanese had nothing to do with it. If there had been a Republican in office, would he have promised not to fight, and begged the Japanese not to invade California?

-- Ed Huntress

It was Cliffy, as usual.

Rick Bowen TSRA Life Member lex talionis.

Yeah, we haven't seen one of those for a long while, maybe 60 years or so. Oh, I think I'd count the little wars with the various pieces of the former Yugoslavia. They probably were worth fighting, but it was the Western Europeans who should have been fighting them, not us.

Unless you count the glorious conquest of Granada. . .

-- Ed Huntress

Gets us back to 'square 1' is all.......

Who gives a flying rat's ass about dead Hollywood actor's service records anyways...if anything, this is simply random data presented in a manner meant to support an agenda...

Rightfully, it should be pre-supposed that some that are fighting now might become famous actors on the silver screen...someday.

Still meaningless should it come to pass for those alive some 60 years from now.

Its not all that much fun.

Ah, you have to get with the new program. There's so much data accessible to every cyber-cowboy with a computer today that stocking up data-ammunition and firing it across the Internet like bullets from a GE Minigun is becoming a substitute for honest debate. Nobody thinks about the words, they just listen to their sound.

Gunner is the prototype. He's actually an experimental bot, which the New Media Owners are trying out to see if they can run these things on the contents of dumpsters instead of electricity.

Yes, like Clark said, there's a niche in the movies for experienced killers. Authenticity is big right now.

Probably.

-- Ed Huntress

There will probably be some openings in the political arena as well. We will always need veterans-- to run against draft dodgers (and lose.)

John Kerry and Bob Dole are two examples, just to show I'm non-partisan on this topic.
