Wish I knew, I don't keep up with Celbs or I would have used something else D'oh! 
I blocked this poster and politely requested he delete this offensive post.
To quote him, "I don't see anything wrong with it." "Power corrupts." 
He can stay blocked and out of this group.
The Netherlands was neutral during WWI and wanted to remain neutral during WWII. As a result, the Germans leveled the largest port in Europe, nay, the largest port in the world at the time, Rotterdam, which was carpet-bombed.
Here's a photo of Rotterdam Blaak train station after the blitz: 
Here's a photo of it today: 
Most of the buildings in Rotterdam are new. They are still rebuilding the city today, with some of the most modern, artful architecture in the world! Google Rotterdam Centraal Station or Markethal, and see just what I mean. These facilities were just completed in 2013 and 2014 respectively.
Believe me, The Netherlands was not only bled of resources, it was bled of people.
I can tell you this from my girlfriends parents who tell me. They were members of the Resistance in the Netherlands in Texel during WW2.
Their healthcare costs folks between 100 and 150 euros a month. What they get for that is no co-pays. except for a small co-pay for in-patient hospital care. Most prescriptions are free, others are very cheap.
One visit to the country will tell you that we here in the US are not spending money on WE THE PEOPLE, like it says in our constitution. Even as you get off the plane at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, you only have to walk about 50 meters to the train. And the train goes to nearly every part of the country, and it leaves every half hour during the day on weekdays.
If this small country is an example of what can be done when a country concentrates efforts on the needs of the people, I want to see it here in the US. Unfortunately, we have to be the police of the world, and concentrate our tax dollars on building more and more military, while handing out welfare to corporations who are making the largest profits in history.
Okay, I'll stop. Just let me know if you want to hear more. Perhaps in another forum.
They reported me?? Ha! The post wasn't even straight out of my 
mouth, it was a quote from Sarandon!

24 hours. That's gotta be rough
but your political instincts for making common cause really suck.
Tossing around the f-word--just the ticket to get others to heed your message.
Sounds like a finely honed and persuasive argument. 
drives my husband nuts.. fuck him too! he's for Hillary. I love the man but he's getting on my last nerve.
