I just thought it was rather funny that the "open minded leftists" are so anti islam. But it should make sense, because the open minded leftists are against religion.
It was a frustrating video, mostly because Affleck kept interrupting and "yea? so what"ing the fact the other guy was presenting. Basically, don't cite data when I've made up my mind. Ugh. I'll take civil discourse over this kind of yelling any day.
no no.. you're all wrong there... See Affleck is an "actor" and therefore is always correct and to be believed even when opposed with things like facts and data...
I especially liked the British poll about jailing the Danish cartoonist. Opps... guess that narrative isn't right there Ben.
Whenever I hear "actors" spewing "knowledge" like this guy, I think of this line in Steve Carell's Get Smart Movie: "Shtarker: Too bad about all the dead movie stars. Siegfried: Yes. What will we do without their razor-sharp political advice?" Think about it: they are former drama students, who get paid pretending to be somebody they're not, parroting words written someone else. It's no wonder they crave to be taken seriously.
So, I am not trolling here. I admit Affleck is and actor so not real solid ground for anything he says, but what specifically do you guys disagree with?

Ah yes actors and their "opinions".
Shouldn't this be titled "Ben Affleck acts out to drum up support for his new POS movie"?

Yes, but then how do you seperate it from most of the other things actors do?

I keep trying to find the other religions that remove the clitoris from their daughters and tape beheadings to broadcast to the world.
