He left Los Angeles (because he thought it was too violent), and now he's leaving France for the same reason.

Maybe he should move to Antarctica.

Oh yes.

What on earth is he thinking?

I mean, what sort of moron cares for the safety and welfare of his familly?

So when is Roman Polanski moving out of France so we can prosecute him for drugging and raping a thirteen year old?

I mean Chinatown was good, but it doesn't make up for that.

Oh yes.

Seems pretty safe here in my town (Herndon, Virginia).

No, he hates France, too.

Must be nice living in his dream world...

He get to play pirate too :(

You mean it's possible to hate both France and America?!

Ye (non-existant) Gods! My whole world is shattering.

So when is Roman Polanski moving out of France so we can prosecute him...Good question...
when is the US going to extradite Pat Robertson?

That is not the only reason that Depp moved to France. He said that if President George W. Bush was re-e;ected that he would move to France. (probably because he was displeased with how the U.S. was being run)

Though I wouldn't take such drastic measures...I don't blame him.

Good question...
when is the US going to extradite Pat Robertson?
If anybody want's him please take him.

If anybody want's him please take him.the Gov of Venezuela would like the US to sign the extradicion...They would gladly pay the Airfare (one way)

I like Johnny Depp the actor, 21 Jump Street etc etc,
but he should move to Dictator for life Fidel Castro's Cuba,
Paradise on earth, nothing bad ever happens in Cuba,
only everything good according to Dictator for life Fidel Castro of Cuba.

At least he followed through. Unlike the other pusses who claimed they were going to leave the country if Bush was reelected but didn't.

He left? Oh good, wouldn't want a good actor to go to waste.

If anybody want's him please take him.

Um, no, thank you.

No, he hates France, too.

Thus making the only place safe for him is my bedroom :)

It's a ruse ... he's actually just getting tired of the commute.

At least he kept his promise. I'm still waiting for Barbara Striesand and Alec Baldwin to leave. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Okie, first of all, Depp didn't leave because of Bush or for any political reasons. He moved to France in 1998, long before W even decided to run for President. His only real political rants are about the rights of Native Americans and the treatment of the elderly. You can't lump him in with the rest of "Hollyweird" just because he made some movies.

Second, I'm not aware Alec Baldwin (who is fiercly patriotic, by the way) or Barbara Streisand made any such promises to leave.

Then you weren't paying attention.

[edit]
And after Baldwin decided the right course of action, during the Clinton impeachment, was to stone Henry Hyde's house, I think he gave up all claims of patriotism.

Alec Baldwin, and his wife (now ex-wife) promised to leave - twice - once during each election.

People have raised money to fly them out of the country (several websites for that). It was on the news. You would have had to have been on Pluto to have missed it.

There's quite a few Hollywood and MTV types who promised vehemently that they would leave and renounce their American citizenship.

Most don't have the balls to do it.

1] I'd like a source on his promise to leave. His direct quote and where/when he said it.

2] I'd like to know when being a patriot in this country stopped meaning dissidence and/or civil disobedience and started meaning love the President at all costs and support the nation no matter what.

Love the president? Why must one? Why is that a requirement?

I don't know ... but apparently some people are of the opinion that if you bad mouth Bush, you're not a patriot.

2] I'd like to know when being a patriot in this country stopped meaning dissidence and/or civil disobedience and started meaning love the President at all costs and support the nation no matter what.

Well, if I got in to office I'd make sure that you had to love the president (me) and the nation under penalty of imprisonment and/or death...but as far as I know that hasn't happened yet and civil disobedience is still a symbol of true patriotism.

I am surprised at the level of animosity towards Johnny Depp. I never knew so many people hated him.

I don't know ... but apparently some people are of the opinion that if you bad mouth Bush, you're not a patriot.
Oh, ok. I read your post quie fast, and thus skipped the essential word (the one that made the difference).
Now, I get even more worried when I see people who have never loved Bush (although acted as such) moving away from him because not even their pet monkey is conservative enough (conservative/liberal: let me note that I get quite confused, because in the US these words do not have the same meaning as they do in the rest of the world).

Boy, hope he moves to Finland next. It's pretty safe here, riotwise. We haven't even had a civil war in almost a hundred years!

This is what they mean in the US:

"Almost" is the key word.
Of course, we in Romania have not managed anything close to Finland (we had widespread violence from 89 to 92 - so, France, I'm not impressed). Johnny, don't consider us as a residence.

Yeah, it's kind of funny. Because the people who hate him, hate him for leaving for the reasons he did, but they also hate the people who said they were going to leave but didn't. Sheesh! Make up your minds! (and longtime no see, Sdaeriji!)

But he didn't even leave for the reasons people are attributing to him. He left long before this most recent election, or before Bush was even elected the first time. It's absurd. They just want to hate him for whatever reason they can.

Actually, it's because they don't know the reason. They forget that history did not begin on Sept 11, 2001. Depp left in 1998, but they'll claim it's because he was unhappy with the Bush election .... in 1998 .... *coff*.

Wait...people think he left because of Bush? Seriously? Wow. That's stupid. I love him because he's hot as hell.

I remember when he left, people were pissed that he was making this big statement about American society...I hadn't realised that had suddenly been linked somehow with Bush...though everything is these days:rolleyes:

I know ... it's truly obnoxious. It will probably continue to be for quite some time, too. Not that different from Clinton, really, only Clinton was way more popular.

I love him because he's hot as hell.

Well, yes ... goes without saying. Saying Johnny Depp is hot is like saying the sky is blue or water is wet. It's a natural fact. :D

It's common enough knowledge; going to work for your satisfaction isn't worth the effort.

When Baldwin advocated stoning the chairman of the House Judiciary committee because he disagreed with constitutional process of impeachment, he went far beyond the traditional concepts of dissidence and civil disobedience. That's not patriotism.

In all fairness to Baldwin, Streisand, and others, they have just fallen into the trap of believing their opinions have more merit than they deserve. Otherwise, they'd limit their off screen activities to self-promotion -- something they're good at.

...or like saying Sinuhue is horny.
Well duh!

It's common enough knowledge; going to work for your satisfaction isn't worth the effort.

So you're not going to back up your claim, you're just going to make it and expect me to just believe you at face value? People way smarter than you have tried that with me and it didn't work for them either.

Either back up your claim, or it becomes libel.

Snopes seems to have him backtracking on his wife's promises. Draw.

MediaMatters (http://secure.mediaresearch.org/news/mediawatch/1999/mw19990111p4b.html) seems to have him dead to rights with the Henry Hyde issue.

"They voted on one article of impeachment already. And I come back from Africa to stained dresses and cigars and this and impeachment. I am thinking to myself, in other countries they are laughing at us 24 hours a day and I’m thinking to myself, if we were in other countries, we would all right now, all of us together, [starts to shout] all of us together would go down to Washington and we would stone Henry Hyde to death! We would stone him to death! [crowd cheers] Wait! Shut up! Shut up! No shut up! I’m not finished. We would stone Henry Hyde to death and we would go to their homes and we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families. [stands up, yelling] What is happening in this country? What is happening? UGHHH!"

Pretty patriotic, I'd say ... "they're making fun of us". Truth is actors have too few brains and too much exposure. They need read what's in front of them and not what pops into their 'minds'.

I didn't say anything about his wife, I was talking about him. What a man's wife does is not a reflection on him.

You're dead to rights if you cut out the words "if we were in other countries". That's 0 for 2, buddy. Maybe you should learn to read what's in front of you.

I never made that claim and I never get the exposure that actors have. My opinions are worth exactly what you pay to read them.

This is already too much effort, any rant like that is just stupid. Baldwin clearly wants the U.S. to be like those other countries that are "laughing at us". Any other interpretation is mincing words a little too closely. But then a good Clintonian would do that.

Yeah, nothing like that whole "if" thing to confuse people, especially conservatives. I'm going to remember this post and will use it when I find future posts of yours using the word "if" in them.

Baldwin is a patriot, probably more so than you. He loves this country. This country made him what he is today and he recognises that. Like all patriots, myself included, he is disgusted with the direction this country has turned (ie. down the toilet).

But, then again, I often forget that conservatives and the "Right" think this country is absolutely fabulous and couldn't possibly ever be any better.

I never made that claim and I never get the exposure that actors have. My opinions are worth exactly what you pay to read them.

Well here you are spouting off your beliefs to anyone who will read them. It's certainly not the actors' faults that they have a bigger forum to present their views. If your only qualm is the magnitude, then you really don't have a leg to stand on, since you're doing the exact same thing they are.
