Should America's reaction to Anderson Cooper's "I'm gay" be "We know" or "It doesn't matter"? -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 08:00 30
- Yes. -- nm - nubby Jul 3, 08:10
- Broad acceptance rises among individuals when they "know" gay people. So it's a big deal. He's visible, he's respected. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:05

    - I was not complaining about it today. - groiny Jul 3, 08:11 20
      - [deleted] 15
        
        and my POV yesterday on it was certainly from a non-gay perspective - groiny Jul 3, 08:19 14
        
        The thing is that aren't any big named Hollywood stars who are out. - Inigo Jul 3, 08:27 7
        
        did not seem to hurt Ellen's career. - groiny Jul 3, 08:30 4
        
        I'm talking about being a movie star. - Inigo Jul 3, 08:38
        
        Didn't her sitcom end shortly after she came out? Because they ran with gay storylines (and turned it non-funny)? -- nm - Roger More Jul 3, 08:37 2
        
        yes, but I think the problem was the unfunny. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 08:39 1
        
        yup. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 08:39
        
        Jim Parsons just came out a few months ago. - groiny Jul 3, 08:30
        
        this is a great point. -- nm - amanda Jul 3, 08:28
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        oh, I am sick of the LiLo daily updates as well, so there is that. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 08:33 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        well... - znufrii Jul 3, 08:41
        
        on the contrary, a week or so ago, I wished Lilo would just OD and get it over with. - groiny Jul 3, 08:39 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Can we all yell at Mop? -- nm - amoxy Jul 3, 08:12 3
        
        sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 08:13 2
        
        It must be Tuesday. -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 08:14 1

  - Oh and being in downtown portland on saturday night was cool - eag Jul 3, 08:05
  - Now you can sleep with someone and say, "we were on a break!!" - Ross Jul 3, 08:04 1
    - Not so much a break as maybe just getting back to being simple -- nm - eag Jul 3, 08:06
[deleted] 31
- that's....wow. -- nm - znufrii Jul 3, 07:59 30
  - That's good. Kill the NEA. It's a phenomenally wasteful use of tax dollars. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:03 29
    - Job killer! -- nm - nubby Jul 3, 08:13
    - If you look at what the Federal Art Project accomplished during the Great Depression, you'd see what the NEA can accomplish. -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 08:12 9
      - Having to look back 80 years for a win says a lot about the current usefulness of the program. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 08:16 6
        
        No, it doesn't, because you don't have to. - con_carne Jul 3, 08:20 4
        
        Was that NEA or was that budgeted by the local Transit Authority. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:22 3
        
        Please, you can do better than switching your arguement back and forth between "NEA," then "all government" then back to "NEA" again. - con_carne Jul 3, 08:25 1
        
        Those aren't my words. The only post I didn't say "NEA" in, it was implied because that's what we've been discussing. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:30
        
        Now I'm even more confused on your stance - znufrii Jul 3, 08:24
        
        If we had continue3d to fund the arts at the same levels since, I'm sure we'd have a lot more recent examples. -- nm - znufrii Jul 3, 08:18
      - And yet, it's not... -- nm - Ender Jul 3, 08:14 1
        
        [deleted]
    - i disagree -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 3, 08:07
    - I disagree completely. - znufrii Jul 3, 08:06 14
      - I love the "arts". I don't think the government should be spending money on them. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 08:09 13
        
        What about art in public spaces? Parks, libraries, transit stations, etc.? - con_carne Jul 3, 08:14 4
        
        also - art drives tourism in many cases, it gives cities personalities and distinction, it actually has a positive-financial - Andie Jul 3, 08:19 2
        
        To be clear, I'm against the NEA as a government program. I am not against art in public. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:25 1
        
        it makes no sense to me for a government to not fund the arts. they have ALWAYS funded the arts, because arts are essential to society. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 08:41
        
        Shrug. Sell "art rights" like you sell "naming rights" and put restrictions on what will be acceptable to display. Done. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 08:17
        
        and that's fine to have that opinion. - znufrii Jul 3, 08:13 2
        
        Then justify it to me. Make me care. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 08:19
        
        It is a 100% waste if he thinks it would be better used elsewhere, like meals for congressmen -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 08:15
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I actually have lots of centrist opinions. I'm pretty pro-military, for one. - TWuG Jul 3, 08:34 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Works out well in my country. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 08:09 1
        
        wait for it... -- nm - PM Harper Jul 3, 08:15
    - The NEA has virtually a $0 budget -- nm - Magic MDH Jul 3, 08:06 1
      - And it is 100% wasted money. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 08:08
BTW, I tried custard for the first time in a looong time over the weekend - con_carne Jul 3, 07:57
Hand-foot-and-mouth is a bitch. All the kids have had it when they were younger. - Mop Jul 3, 07:56 4
- oh and TRUST ME adults can get it. Two years ago ALL of the adults in my local circle got it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:58 1
  - The twin and the nephew got it just a couple months ago, actually -- nm - con_carne Jul 3, 08:01
- you can get a lot of things twice if the virus mutates. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:58
- jesus man, you best watch your mouth! nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 07:57
speculation time. Among young stars, who do you think will age well, or not? -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:54 18
- Will Smith will age well. Keanu Reeves will not. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 07:59 5
  - Will ain't young. he's in his forties. -- nm - Remlik Jul 3, 08:06 2
    - Well, see, *I'm* in my forties and don't feel old, so I don't consider 40 old. -- nm - TWuG Jul 3, 08:10 1
      - fair enough. but he's not Young Hollywood anymore. Saw an interview Marky Mark did on Letterman...he was asked to be in a cop movie... - Remlik Jul 3, 08:18
  - Isn't reeves already old like whoa, though? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 3, 08:05 1
    - he's 47 and still looks good. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 08:08
- Emma Stone!! -- nm - Don Homer Jul 3, 07:56
- Dakota Fanning - well. Kirsten Stewart not well. -- nm - Pippy Jul 3, 07:56 10
  - Elle Fanning and Chloë Grace Moretz. Dakota is already starting to wear out a bit. -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 07:58 1
    - I really like Chloe, I think she might be stone cold stunning in a few years. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 07:59
  - I like those. I will add to the good: Emma Stone, Olivia Wilde, Zac Ephron. Bad: Justin Bieber. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:56 4
    - Ephron is going to take the Jared Leto route - he's not going to age at all. - Pippy Jul 3, 07:58 3
      - they both have great bone structure and pretty eyes. good aging combo for men. Somehow it's not working on Leo though. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 07:59 2
        
        I feel like jared's issue is all his makeup. like, wouldn't he be hot without it? -- nm - amanda Jul 3, 08:01 1
        
        oh yeah, that's just dumb. but under that he's aging fine. -- nm - loosilu Jul 3, 08:03
  - Opposite -- nm - eag Jul 3, 07:56 1
    - At least Stewart doesn't get cast as a boy any more. -- nm - Mop Jul 3, 07:58
  - I think Stewart might age better if she actually looked happy for once. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 3, 07:56

- I am really interested to see Bauer pitch. - groiny Jul 3, 07:55 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - I am rooting for him, because he might change the thought process on how pitchers build up. - groiny Jul 3, 08:00
everything pompous makes me laugh. -- nm - amanda Jul 3, 07:54 1
- be nice to znu -- nm - ty97 Jul 3, 07:54
