macelena 1,070 Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) Some kind of compromised fella. First, i gotta say that Platoon was IMHO, the worst Vietnam film in the era. When the folk went out there with those compromised, Left-wannabe guys, there is nothing to complain, everybody does. Then he travels to Cuba and licks Castro´s balls. Respect, i think. Lot of freaks, he hurts nobody, or so i hope. Then he updated. The new anti-imperialist emperor is Hugo Chavez. Around two years ago, Chavez was in a meeting among leaders from latin america with the former metropoli, Spain and Portugal. In the turn of speech of Spain, he started to talk rubbish, while our prime-minister diplomatically tried to stand things down and Hugo spoked louder, our King summarized what everyone was thinking "Why don´t you shut up?". Diplomatic crisis, more rubbish out of the guy, opposition in Venezuela take the phrase as symbol, things stand down, Chavez stays oppresing. Recently Mr.Stone declares about the incident "Spain should apologize to Hugo Chavez" So if anyone can tell Oliver Stone, my ass is in Cartagena, Spain, ready to be kissed Edited September 9, 2009 by macelena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted September 9, 2009 I really don't understand why Hollywood has so many far-leftists...does it attract them, or produce them? I think the issue is too many there have money just handed to them for ideas, they don't really WORK for them. So, why not just give a large portion of that money to the poor? After all, just have another good idea and people will hand you more money, right? The poor are only poor because they must not have any good ideas! When you have the silver spoon handed to you, you naturally don't believe it's hard to earn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverbolt 104 Posted September 9, 2009 Well, being left don't hurt . the problem is when it became a regime with low individual freedom and , in Latin America Scenario turn in to a Caudilism... funny that venezuela is Left orientated but it have a good level of freedom, compared with other left regims,such as Cuba. at least it didn't turned in a totalitarism regim(well, for what it seems, the right has more tendency to became Repressive and Totalitarist). btw Jedi Master told everything.... just a matter of point of view, btw there was never an communist regim in the world, unfortunately...the socialist attempt became basically opressive and it only one minimum class had privilege. so, its theorically fine, but pratically impossible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Hans Topp 115 Posted September 9, 2009 Continuing with the words of my compatriot Macelena, Mr. Stone it can come to Madrid to kiss my bottom. Apart from Spain apologizes to Mr. Hugo Chavez, USA should not do the same to Spain for the war of 1898 and the loss of the last colonies, Cuba, the Philippines, Guam, etc... Mr. Stone a favor be done and do not get into matters that he is not interested in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsawan 624 Posted September 11, 2009 Platoon rules! that's just my opinion. As for Stone and his actions, could care less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
macelena 1,070 Posted September 11, 2009 I`m a bit of a lefty and proud of it and is why you see the warning level below my username. I´m also on the left, i´m in favour of public healthcare and same-sex marriage, but as i tried to explain above, that has nothing to do with ideology, it´s just a matter of entering political issues wich affect seriously the life of people with such frivolity. He could have stated the same supporting Nazis if it was the oportune mix of politically correct & controversial. Platoon rules! that's just my opinion. As for Stone and his actions, could care less. Yes, it does, but compared with Apocalypse Now or Full Metal Jacket, C Company Boys... perhaps it a great film, but there are many better, thought not as realistic.
