Hi All

Yes Clooney's sad comment is indicative of the "clever" arrogance that is around these days especially from an actor who has made about 1 and half reasonable films and he seems to like wielding a fire arm in one or two films...or perhaps Dusk to Dawn does not count!!)

George Clooney has seriously gone down in my estimation!

He is probably on a high due to the academy's...praise for his wonderful !!!!! new film! LOL

The likes of Clooney and others ought to consider the way they peddle and push their own issues....gays...aids...etc with an almost fascist ( and I MEAN fascist if you don't agree with them!), zeal...before they can find room to comment on a man who purely believes in the right of people to be able to arm themselves because after all...there are quite a few burglars...muggers etc...that don't exactly hit you with their handbag!

AMEN to that brother. I fully agree with you. Because of things and people like clooney--that is one of the main reasons why I only want to see older movies and movie stars.

Hi Ringo

Whilst I may not agree with everything that Charlton Heston says or believes I feel the thing I despise most about the whole thing is that Clooney is at the height of his powers Heston is in advanced years with a terminal debilatating illness and not really able to fully defend himself.

To me, Clooney has just depicted himself as being mean, petty, vindictive and without grace.

At least Chuck gave him a humdinger of a reply. Reminded me of of Duke's shot at John Ireland in Red River.

Best

Mike

This is so typical of some actors in Hollywood. They get a some success under their belts and they do just like Ringo points out, they try to push their views on everything under the sun, right or wrong, on us and they don't care who they run over in the process. They have no respect for those who came before them and paved the road for them with hard work and dignity. Clooney just showed us how mean and IMO how immature he is. Any adult with any kind of decency knows you don't poke fun at elderly people, let alone a sick one who can't totally defend himself, it's just sick and not done. (any knows this)

Thanks Mike and well said. I don't agree with everything any one persons does but, Charlton Heston showed that he was a much better person (not that he needed to) than clooney is; with his statement.

Thank you Dear, and that is exactly how I feel in such matters. All my life I have always wondered at how people can be so mean-spirited to do such things? I never could understand why one just HAS to be that way especially against those who cannot defend themselves.

The first person I ever made friends with when I started grade school, was a person who had "Down Syndrom" (SP?) and he of course, was picked on at school. On my 2nd day of going to school, I got into a fight with a kid who was in the 2nd grade (I was in Kindergarten at the time) and I lost the fight but, I defended and befriended this guy named Douglas. That kid did learn not to pick on Douglas though. I think because of that one incident, I believe that was something I was lucky to learn from at an earlier age that I have always practiced. Boy, I have not thought about this in many years.

Hello all
I agree that Clooney was a fool to make a joke of anyone with Alzheimers. I can only imagine how scarey it would be to lose touch with reality as your memory fails. Some day his arrogance will come home to roost. If I disagree with somebodies position that does not entitle me to belittle him.
