Germany imposes ban on Tom Cruise - Page 3

I believe Z referred to it as a cult and a viable topic of discussion over in the CEF a year or two ago, if that has changed then I apologize, but I think the following interview with Hubbard Jr. just about says it all. link

Hey now, Ronald Reagan did a fine job and Schwarzenegger's is doing very well in Cali. Heck, even Jesse "The Body" Ventura did well during his stint as governor.

Yeah, but celebrities are citizens and perfectly allowed to run for representation like anyone else. And what's the difference between a celebrity being hired to endorse a product, and a celebrity chosing to publicly express their own views? In both cases, it's someone using someone's fame to spread a message.

Aside from which, public officials and power-brokers become "celebrities" themselves. Aka Donald Trump, the Clintons, Giuliani, etc. so the lines blurr.

If you're getting distracted by the actor (losing the character) when you're watching a film, they've failed as an actor, and if enough people experienced this failure and don't like it, then market pressures would ultimately mean they lose work.

No, not against scientologists. Against Tom Cruise!

Tom Cruise and Scientology both creep me out. Oh, and I heard Germany changed it's mind and will let him in to do his movie.

Scientology is not a religion
