f**k Hollywood and its libtards. With one hand they hold candlelight vigils to protest brutal killers that are going to be made good, but with the other hand they are willing to use it to promote some sick warped economic justice. Remember folks that the Bolsheviks had initially abolished the death penalty, but we know how that resulted. Progressives are not to be trusted with lives, so I would rather have the death penalty constitutionally abolished so that knuckleheads can't go applying it to their whims once in power.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

I'm pretty interested:
In an October 2007 interview, Pitt revealed that he is no longer a Christian and does not believe in an afterlife. "There's peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and I'm responsible."[7] In a July 2009 interview he said that he did not believe in God, and that he was "probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic."
They have also stated that they will get married when everyone else is able to.

Because everything's black and white! Even people on a grayscale speaking in shades of gray are clearly black and white past a certain point. How could I overlook this!
Sliding scale of good and evil! I feel so enlightened.

Actually, adults probably should be able to do whatever they want with whatever adults they want as long as you can verify the mental health and willingness of the adult to whom such actions are being done. Marriage under the age of 18 should technically be abolished to that regard, though, and gay marriage allowed so let's get that going.

Brad Pitt is pretty much single-handedly financing and overseeing the rebuilding of an entire section of New Orleans. So, yes, I do care what he has to say about the Gulf spill.
Likewise, I care what Sean Penn has to say about the Haiti Earthquake since he is in charge of one of the largest relief organizations on the ground right now.
And I care about what Angelina Jolie has to say about Darfur since she was the UN liaison in Darfur for a few years.
And I care about what Natalie Portman has to say about enzymatic sugar reactions and frontal lobe permanence because of her published scientific journals and Erdos-Bacon number.
Same for Danica McKellar except replace enzymatic sugar reactions and frontal lobe permanence with mathematical theorems.
And Dolph Lundgren on the best way to kill a man...or ATP uptake in organelles because of his Fulbright Scholarship to MIT for biochem.
There's some public figures with opinions on things that matter just as much as the average man on the street's opinion, and some of these people happen to be celebrities. Then there are some public figures who actually know what they're talking about, and some of these people happen to be celebrities.

You people are too stupid to understand how many people will die from all the oil and dispersants that will eventually enter our drinking water and food supply. The plankton and and other living organisms deep in the ocean are dying from this, which in turn affects all living creatures including humans.
But go ahead and make light of it and defend your corporate masters BP.
I say we take some ideas from the Chinese who executed their food and drug executive for allowing poisoned dog food to be sold worldwide.
BP's CEO and executives who ignored the hazards created by all the rules they were breaking should be strung up from a tree by the neck.

Show me where datruef claimed that all liberals agreed with Brad Pitt. Go on, show me. Oh, that's right you can't, because he didn't claim that. He said that the liberals in this thread are trying to spin away from the fact that a famous liberal is being a hypocrite, and that's certainly true. Thus all the comments about "Uh...um... you shouldn't care what he says..." or the burying of the people deriding Pitt, or YOU, who are busy constructing a misrepresentation of what datruef said.
talahramaAug 23, 2010
Pack: The reason liberals aren't addressing a famous liberal being a dick (I would go as far to say) is because it's absolutely absurd to bring up his political beliefs. He's famous and a liberal. Not famous for being a liberal. If Al Franken went on record saying the same thing, you'd have a legitimate point because he's in the political sphere.
I'm sorry you consider the political beliefs of actors to be relevant at all.
thcobbs: Glenn Beck is a political figure and, as conservatives LOVE to point out, has pretty high ratings. Someone's gotta be watching him. Of course, I don't think that all conservatives believe exactly what he believes, but I believe a good chunk (his viewership, at least) believe in a reasonable amount of what he says.

Datruef: I do, actually. I very much dislike the hateful, kneejerk reactions to stories concerning conservatives that do ill, saying that this is what conservatives have wrought or similar nonsense. I know it's scary for you to hear this from a liberal, but I do believe in a certain amount of personal responsibility. If someone does some evil act after listening to some talking head, that person very likely had problems to begin with.
Thcobbs: Actually, it's less that people watch him and more that other conservatives don't denounce him. I don't believe he speaks for all conservatives, but I think I'd be more inclined to think that conservatives can be thoughtful and act calmly if I heard more calling him out for his bulls**t. It's similar to how I don't think all cops are power-hungry assh**es, but I don't embrace them as a bastion of justice because the well-behaved majority covers for the minority of assh**es.

You can't execute someone for negligence. BP obviously did not intentionally do this.

They knowingly put the safety of workers on the line when they said they wouldn't make any real changes in their policy unless the cost of settlements from families of lost workers became more expensive than the cost of making repairs, aka "putting a price on the lives of people".
akatsukiAug 23, 2010
While you can't for even criminal negligence and reckless homicide which is what this is, maybe the law should be different. After all, the BP oil spill will affect millions of people, has killed numerous people already, and is a far more serious problem than, say, a single or even a couple of murders.

Actually, I have an acquaintance in the oil drilling industry who's done deep water (nothing like the horizon incident, but still) and he said the supervisors at BP were completely aware of the situation, and purposely stated to not follow even the most minimum of safety codes in order to save a few bucks. Literally a few thousand, perhaps even a few hundred dollars would have prevented this blowout from happening.
They didn't care. They knew it was incredibly risky, and they knew it was one of the deepest wells ever drilled, and they repeatedly denied appeals by the engineers to install basic equipment to make the platform more stable.
jnismeAug 23, 2010
I think if they were of any merit, they would have been headlining every new article about the oil spill. If he can back it up, you're acquaintance should be raising hell and getting the media's attention.
hivoltage815Aug 23, 2010
Unless your friend is either (a) an executive at BP or (b) one of the engineers that appealed to BP then there is no way for him to know anything about this situation. I would definitely be interested to learn more if he is legitimate, but you can't help but skeptical that a company would be risk such a massive financial and PR disaster to cut costs if the risk were anything near "criminal" so to speak (what is that threshold? I don't know, but I would say anything more than 1% chance).
zippy757Aug 23, 2010
Brad's a little extreme. It's common for movies, such as those Brad makes, to cause a very very small number of people with mental issues to take their own lives...happens on virtually every movie..
I wonder if Brad would be supportive of using his logic on the death penalty on himself, since using this own position, he's responsible for some number of humans taking their own lives...
nj10iiAug 23, 2010
I second the motion.
firesightsAug 23, 2010
Yes, because making a movie and ignoring safety procedures that -directly- result in the death of 11 people are exactly the same thing.
lukas1051Aug 23, 2010
Execute who? The head of BP? The people who built the well? The workers? Maintenance people? The people responsible for fixing it? Whose fault is it specifically? You can't impose the death penalty in cases like this, no single person is to blame. The company is crippled enough. I don't support what they have done, but it was an accident. Hanging people won't solve anything.
canadianmacfanAug 23, 2010
Don't forget all of the people that create the demand for the oil. Ultimately if society used less resources then the well would have never been drilled in the first place.
And so Brad can line up near the front for people to be executed since he uses more oil than most of the population.

Because Neglecting safety procedures = Accident.
Clearly he is just expressing his outrage towards a companies negligence that caused a colossal disaster. There is, in all probability, nothing more to this statement.
There's too many $h*theads ignoring the nature of his statement and trying to discern anything else from it so they can point out the actors fallacies, probably in an attempt to satisfy their own outrage because as significant and important as they think their opinion is, it will never get the same exposure as anything Brad Pitt says.
blqysmgAug 23, 2010
While the death penalty is perhaps a bit extreme, there is such a thing as negligent homocide, and I'm not sure this event doesn't qualify. If they knowingly made the decision to save a few bucks rather than install needed safety equipment and their decision led to the deaths of 11 workers, billions of dollars of damage, etc., I believe they should be held criminally responsible.

I don't know if I necessarily agree with this. I will mention that if people die due to what is found as criminal negligence, there should at least be manslaughter charges brought. Of course, manslaughter != death penalty.

SMH. Even if they could have prevented it, you can't execute people for gross negligence. It was still an accident. Maybe a preventable one or one that could have easily been prevented. But it's not like someone said "Hey let's fill the gulf oil. That'll be great for business."

hey pitt, the millions of dollars that you were paid to pretend to be somebody in front of a camera does not magnify the importance of your lame opinion.

Whoah, whoah, mr Pitt, death row seems a bit harsh, don't you think? Let's calm down and come to a more reasonable punishment, like maybe 10 lashes?

Tony Hayward just got his life back, now Brad wants to take it. I call foul!

The sad truth is that a lot of people really responsible for this mess, this ecological disaster will get away scott free.
So Brad Pitt is venting his anger.
Kudos to this star who gives away million of dollars of his own money every year to charity. Google it.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

What the hell? Are you his publicist. What does his charitable contributions have to do with the stupidity of his remarks? If I had millions to give away I would be cutting checks too. I don't have millions but I do give what I can. Does that make me any less formidable?

What are you? His enemy or something? Kept saying you want to kick Brad Pitt's balls... beat up my dad... etc.
mgraves81Aug 23, 2010
Good comeback. I said my dad could beat up your dad in mockery of you when you said Pitt could beat me up. So now I am a bad person for saying Pitt should be kicked in the nuts for calling for the DEATH of BP execs?

Am I supposed to care what some actor thinks?
Besides, we don't know who or what was responsible yet.

Are we supposed to care what you think?
It is known that a series of negligent decisions were made, shortcuts that led to the failure of the blowout preventer, and equipment was used that was not rated for that depth.

"Are we supposed to care what you think?"
Where did you get the impression that I wanted you to care what I thought? I'm not spouting off in a tabloid, nor have I said anything of the sort. You're quite welcome not to read my opinions if you like, just as I am not obligated to read what you type.

Celebrities are the pinnacle of conspicuous consumption. They are the definition of behavior that destroys the environment. Who cares what they say.
chuckdeesAug 23, 2010
I don't agree with capital punishment. But if criminal negligence is found. Why not bring people up on involuntary manslaughter charges?
How many corporations act willfully against safety for the sake of profit. Just to end up costing lives. And never pay any kind of real cost. Any single individual would be in prison.

My fear is that the media will confundle us to the point that we would elect a celebrity as president.

Obviously he wasn't serious and was just saying that for effect >.>
I guess when someone's famous, there's no such thing as rhetorics and everything he says is meant word for word.
familyguyAug 23, 2010
Come on people, do you really think that Brad Pitt was being serious? The death penalty? I think the very sad part is that most people in America, or any country for that matter, are more concerned about the comment that Brad Pitt made than the actual crisis itself! Nothing but a bunch of high school drama queens.

Fortunately Brad Pitt hasn't been elected into any position with the capacity to enforce his views.
(I don't mind watching Pitt on screen, but I certainly wouldn't vote for him.)
