#1 I think something needs to be done to help alleviate the conditions which have created a disenfranchised and angry faction in the Middle East

The only way to do that is by turning the US into an Islamic state you douchebag.

Can somebody make sure that guy's toupe isn't on too tight

#2 Dammit!

Which hollywood 'star' has the brain today?

#3 Apparently, senility has started to set in. Poor guy.

#4 I think something needs to be done to help alleviate the conditions which have created a disenfranchised and angry faction in the Middle East.

Sounds good to me--is Mr. Ford advocating we overthrow all of the Islamic-basket-case governments in one fell swoop or continue with our one-at-a-time strategy?

#5 I’m very troubled by the proliferation of arms, at the fact so many people in the United States carry guns," he said, according to the AAP. "It obviously contributes greatly to the crime problems we have.
That's why crime is at a multiyear low ?

#6 Actors are left-wing by inclination. I suspect, however, that a lack of patriotism is endemic only to actors in the Anglo-Saxon countries (the US, Britain, New Zealand & Australia). Joan Chen, a Chinese actress who's now based here, was quoted as saying that Tibet rightfully belongs to China. Her allegiances are pretty clear.

#7 It's really only surprising when one of these vastly wealthy, highly insulated celebrities isn't out of touch with most of us working stiffs. Being surprised at the attitudes of Ford, Geffen, Streisand, and the others is like being surprised at the attitudes of the railroad barons or British nobility in an earlier age...

"I’m very troubled by the proliferation of arms, at the fact so many people in the United States carry guns," he said, according to the AAP.

Except, of course, when they happen to be on his bodyguard detail...
"It obviously contributes greatly to the crime problems we have.

Yeah.
Thanks to gun laws, criminals have more guns that citizens.
I’m sure gun laws should be strengthened in the United States. I just don’t know the correct mechanism."

I believe the mechanism you're looking for is the eradication of the Bill of Rights, you skeleton jockey.

Why, oh why, are the pretty ones always so dumb?

#9 Lord have mercy!

I thought Ford was one of the saner celebs. Goofy me.

#10 It looks like when you lay down with Callista Flockharts, you tend to get some crazy on you.

People who make their living pretending to be something they are not are not people I'm the slightest bit interested in listening to in regards to the future of civilization. If I want costume jewelry, pretentious dialog and loud incomprensible noise masqarading as substance and thought, I'll go to TGI Fridays for happy hour.

Id be more interested in his opinion if he stayed a carpenter.

#11 What do you expect from someone who willingly kissed Anne Heche on the mouth? Tuna, anyone?

#12 Hey, look! He's in Spain talking to Australians.
Don't worry, Harry. Nobody back in America will ever know.
To tell you the truth, the way his career's going lately ("Hollywood Homicide") there's not much more he could really do to damage it.

#13 I would have thought that making an entire nation line up and vote on a ballot with only one candidate with all the votes inspected immediately by a Baath Party member would have represented a form of disenfranchisement.
