2. LBN threads must use the title of the article linked to, and the excerpt must be an excerpt

not your comment. Please correct these, or the hosts will lock this thread.

3. My grandfather was a pretty wise person

when I was a kid he told me that many people can handle pain, hardship, and difficulty. A far greater challenge for most people is to handle fame, wealth, and power responsibly.

It will be a shame indeed if it turns out that Morgan was not up to the challenge.

5. That was one wise grandfather you had.

4. It was the "Hollywood" and American "culture"

(and actually, not just "Hollywood" - it was and still IS pervasive in every occupation). He is the same age as Cosby.

The good thing is that after centuries, "society" is finally started to address it.

In order to resolve these types of issues, "society" must FIRST admit there is a problem.

9. I don't agree. Individuals choose their behavior.

Even if Hollywood culture or "society" gave them cover, individuals choose how to behave. There are plenty of people who don't choose to behave in unethical ways, even if they could get away with it.

6. Give a man a little "power" and it is clear...

many of us will behave rather badly.

"Great acting" appears to be a consistent characteristic across the board in all professions.

It'll be wonderful when CGI-created characters eliminate the need for "actors." Very soon now.

7. You need this as the headline - "Women accuse Morgan Freeman of inappropriate behavior, harassment"

plus excerpts from the article (no more than 4 paragraphs) or your thread will be locked.

10. Not surprised

I had a friend who was a dolphin trainer and worked on the movie Dolphin Tail. They had several very, very not nice things to say about him.
