What gives you the right to make fun of Tom Cruise?

[ET Awful]

1. Any and all Scientologists are fair game for ridicule and scorn

based on the thousands of lives they have ruined. Anyone that tries to recruit more folks into that cult which is responsible for the deaths of numerous people (not least among them Lisa McPherson) deserves ridicule and scorn.

[sniffa]

10. oh but they onLy kiLLed one person

one person ever!

or so i was toLd by someone. :eyes:

[Zuni]

12. one person?!?!

well then it is a perfectably acceptable cult then

[ET Awful]

20. Only one?

Or are they leaving out the electrocutions at Hemet from forcing people into unsafe electrical rooms? Maybe leaving out the suicide of Hubbards son Quentin (who was a homosexual and therefore could never be accepted by Scientology or his father)? Perhaps they're leaving out the plethora of other suicides by people who were suckered out of all their money by the cult (Noa Lottick for instance who jumped from a hotel window clutching his last few dollars in his hand to make sure they didn't go to the cult).

Maybe they're forgetting Herbert Patiff who died of a head injury while being "treated" by Scientology and going into an epileptic seizure which Scientlogists "treated" with vitamins. Or Joseph Havenith who "drowned in the bathtub" under very suspicious circumstances and whose body was cremate dand sent back to his parents in Germany before a complete investigation could be made.

Yup, they've only killed on person alright. And Bush's war only killed 1 Iraqi too.

[sniffa]

22. hey, you were on that thread

where the 'i onLy know of one person ever kiLLed' was posted.

[ET Awful]

27. Ah well, I must've missed that one then.

Of course, even if it was only one, is that supposed to make it acceptable?

"Oh, they only killed one person, they must be okay then."

[LynneSin]

24. When it comes to Scientology the cult - ETAwful is the man

:D

[ET Awful]

28. I'm surprised I haven't ended up on their "fair game" list yet.

I must not be vocal enough. If I was picketing in front of their "org" or something, they'd have been trying to ruin my life or sue me into submission by now.

[dhinojosa]

35. So do we need them in the Democratic party?

or should we boot them. I think the tent is big enough, but what sayeth you?

[ET Awful]

41. I personally would prefer that the Democratic party exclude murderers

and thieves who still stand by their murdering and thieving ways or who support their leaders who murder and thieve.

The goal of Scientology is to take over government, thus the teaching of Hubbard says "Someday, someone, will say this is illegal.. let's make sure that by that time we are the ones who say what is legal or not."

The goals of the Democratic party are in direct opposition to those of the Church of Scientology. We belive in gay rights, the Church of Scientology believes homosexuals are an aberration and are not worthy of auditing or even worth saving for that matter.

We believe in universal healthcare, they believe that no healthcare is necessary other than ineffective auditing.

We believe in a womans right to choose, they believe in coerced or almost forced abortions among their staff.

We believe in individual thought and expression. They believe that no thought not contained in the "tech" as written by Hubbard is acceptable, any other thought or deviation is a "crime" in their opinion.

So no, unless they are willing to renounce the "church" which bilks it's members out of millions of dollars a year and who believes that anyone who criticizes them is an enemy who can be done away with, I see no place for them in the Democratic party.

Their teachings are the antithesis of what the Democratic party stands for.

[Zuni]

2. he is a world class weiner

[pscot]

3. Is this a push poll?

Cruise is a fine actor, but he's also an idiot.

[sundog]

4. i slept with him & he denied it

:P

[Zuni]

5. oh, you tramp!

:o

[ronnykmarshall]

13. You too?

He told me I was his "first".

I went along with it.

[sundog]

17. i thought *I* was the first

that bitch! :grr:

[Left Is Write]

25. Oh, you guys. Don't fight over Tom.

If you MUST fight over someone, fight over me.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm a girl. Still, no one's ever fought over me...

:crazy:

[xmas74]

30. Was it good for you?

Something strikes me as him being rather lousy at it.

[StopTheMorans]

6. he's a celebrity; it is our right to know everything about his life

[amazona]

7. I have the right to make fun of anybody

Actually I consider myself a fan but come on, if you can't see the humor in some of his actions, then how do you enjoy any celebrity gossip at all?

[Zuni]

8. I want to be like George W. Bush and bully people!

why do you have to rain on my parade :cry:

[kick-ass-bob]

9. We just want to know if he is gay or not.

It is the most important thing around you know.

[Aristus]

11. To paraphrase the 'desperately trying to reestablish liberal

credentials after his failed conservative talk-show' host Dennis Miller:

"He has the right to lead what ever jackoff existence he wants to, and I have the right to ridicule him mercilessly."

[Atlas Mugged]

32. Miller is trying to reestablish liberal credentials??????

Really?

[BikeWriter]

33. It will never work.

[Aristus]

37. That's what I heard. He went on Leno after his MSNBC was cancelled

and was apparantly trying to ingratiate himself with his old liberal fans; saying things like "I never really was a conservative" and stuff like that. Doesn't matter, and it won't work. Not with me anyway. He's dead to me.

[BikeWriter]

14. I make fun of everybody. Hey, your Mom dresses you funny...

J/K!

[sniffa]

15. what gives you the right to post fLame bait?

[Mutley]

16. Other

he chose to be in the public eye. If he didn't want people to make fun of him he could have done something else with his life.

[StopTheMorans]

18. as they say on the southern coast of France, "SNAP!"

[BikeWriter]

26. Yeah, but what language do they say it in?

:shrug:

[Zuni]

39. Aramaic?

[BikeWriter]

46. Hey, cool!

[madrchsod]

19. it`s fun to run crazy assed celebs

into the ground. a guy who spends millions to be a member of a cult and has a public meltdown deserves to be made fun of..

[oldcoot]

44. If I saw a non-celebrity acting like Cruise did on "Oprah,"

I would avoid him or her for my own personal safety. I feel no guilt about making fun of him.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Because he's a public figure

[Mad_Dem_X]

23. He's an arrogant a-hole

Plus he's not that talented. Plus he reminds me of my sister's ex-husband, who's a butt-head.

[edbermac]

29. I'm an American!

That gives me the right to insult anyone from Cruise to Bush...

:patriot:

[Zuni]

34. damn right

:patriot:

[xmas74]

31. Cuz I have nothing better to do than make fun of him

while I wait for my kid to get out of summer school.
If I were famous I would demand that everyone make fun of me. Besides, it's publicity for him.

[crispini]

36. Push poll much?

:eyes:

[NNadir]

38. Basically my e-meter is off scale or on scale, my resistence is high or..

low or something and I've been inhabited by the same Thetan spirits that inhabited Nicole Kidman - AND!!!! - I am a man or I think I am a man, let me check my e-meter...

[Radical Activist]

40. He parades his personal life for public display on TV shows.

He chose to do that so he can live with the consequences. Many celebrities are more private and discrete.

[norml]

42. Don't blame me, I voted for Xenu.

http://www.xenu.net/

[Chovexani]

43. Because I make fun of everybody

Besides, he's a fucking Clam. :P

[terrya]

45. Besides 10,000 other reasons : "Interview with the Vampire"

Once Tommy baby got on board, that project was fucking ruined. It was a book I ;ike very much...and the film turned into crap when Tommy signed on the project. He was one of the worse possible choice for Lestat...apparently, they didn't ask Carrot Top, so they got the next worse choice. La Tommy had total script approval and demanded any homoerotic stuff between Lestat and Louis be excised. Anne Rice was far more charitable about it than I was.
