Doesn't mean they are bad peole. I thought teh Michael Moore interview was a disgrace. When it was obvous that Heston had the beginnings of senility, the interview should have been chopped. He was a good actor and made some decent movies, we should remember him for that and be grateful he was spared a future life of increasing senilty, which is horrible.

He was a wonderful actor and his stance for the freedom to hold arms is what he will be best remembered for. It doesn't matter how many pressure groups spring up ranting on about banning firearms, guys like Heston and Bush will always see them down. That's what you have to admire about the Americans. One incident in the UK and every anti gun mouthpiece gets to have his say. More people are killed in one month in the UK my drunk drivers than are killed in a year by firearms. UK penalty for drunk drinking, twelve month ban (reduced to six months if you go on a court appointed "I admit I was a bad boy" course). |

06 Apr 08 - 04:45 PM (#2308489) Subject: RE: BS: RIP Charlton Heston (5 April, 2008) From: Slag IMHO Mr. Heston was a top rate actor. He drew upon the dynamic that was himself. Heston walked with MLK and has supported ALL the rights enumerated in our U.S. Constitution. He understood, as the founding fathers understood, you don't have the First Amendment without the support of the Second Amendment. Good men abhor the thought of taking another's life. They make laws to criminalize murder and to deal with the aftermath of murder. And while good men hate the thought of taking lives the wise man understands that there ARE murders about and being armed is both a deterent and a remedy for murderous assualt. Charelton Heston was both a good and a wise man. God bless him and he will rest in peace. |

06 Apr 08 - 06:44 PM (#2308577) Subject: RE: BS: RIP Charlton Heston (5 April, 2008) From: Big Mick Art, I absolutely loved that film! Many folks don't know that the script was written by Heston's son, Fraser. Casting Brian Keith and Charlton Heston as grizzled mountain men was masterful. As an actor, it is easy to judge him by the blockbuster, wide screen, epic, part of his career. I thought he was wonderful in Ben Hur. But there was much more that came later that was very well done. While I certainly don't like the way the NRA years are portrayed, and the way he allowed himself to be scripted during those years, still this is a man of strong political views, and who did more than sit and tell people he supported civil rights. He was a public figure, and an actor, during a time that supporting civil rights could have been very costly to him. But he took the principled stand, and should be admired for that. As to gun rights, you all know that I am a gun owner, and supportive of the right to keep and bear arms. I disagree mightily with the implication by Bobert that gun control advocates aren't trying to do away with private ownership of weapons. And I think Edmund hit it on the head when he called folks on their attack on this GG (btw, it's not the one you think). From almost the beginning Heston's stance on guns has been a part of this thread. Defending his stance was a legitimate response and in no way an attempt to troll. He lived an interesting life. All the best, Mick |

06 Apr 08 - 07:03 PM (#2308588) Subject: RE: BS: RIP Charlton Heston (5 April, 2008) From: GUEST,Guest Thank you Big Mick. Heston was an accomplished celebrated actor first and foremost. In his later years he spoke openly in the defence of the rights of those who wish to own a firearm. There are those who oppose this viewpoint and clearly they think their views take president over others, well they don't. A gun is like a lot of things, it can be dangerous in the hands of an idiot. A car falls into that class too, as does the contents of the average kitchen drawer. Once you express an opinion on a thread here as I did here regarding my admiration for Heston's stance, you get called a troll. Call me it all day if you want, it won't change my opinion.I only wish we had such an individual in the UK to speak for the responsible gun owners. Our nanny state would not allow it.

GG is right to do so because Heston WAS a political figure and a brave soul who took on issues that were NOT POPULAR. I mentioned MLK and now I'll mention the NRA because Mr. Heston was President of that organization for quite a while. Nobody was scripting his lines but himself. Why don't you, Bobert, go onto some conservative website and express your opinions there and see how well you fare? It's easy preaching to the choir but see how it floats in the other half of the country. This thread, as I read it, was meant as an obit for a famous actor and activist. His life was his life and it included his stance against gun control. To not acknowledge that would be dishonest. I'm really sorry you did not agree with Mr. Heston but, IT WAS HIS LIFE. |

Yes, of course I made reference to the gun issue but only is a passing manner, not a full frontal assualt... And as for me interjecting I do make every effort to keep my politics within the framework of the thread... Yes my views are quite radical at times and they tend to piss off some folks but I make every effort to keep within the confines of the thread... Am I always succesfful???

To me, it's like saying, I don't like chain saws or snow blowers. Some years ago it was in the news that two little boys were poking around in the attic of an old house, and they found a civil war rifle. Of course they fooled around with it and it went off killing one of them. That gun lay untouched for 100 years until some incompetent person misused it.I don't fear tools or weapons, I fear fools who don't know how to handle them. Every Police officer carries a gun in plain view. Is it rational to be afraid of that holstered gun? I have had a gun for many years. I carried it when I worked in law enforcement and no one is worse off because of it. |

Charlton Heston was a fine man, I reflected on what I admired him for.<<< The above is not true at all, In fact you said very little about Heston and then started spewing your own ill-founded and unsupported opinions on Gun supporters. I did quote his most famous line of recent years. Not to start a Debate on gun control, but because I thought it Ironic fitting. But I did not claim that it would be fitting behavior for a minister at a funeral. I would ask you to please identify all ministers you have seen who start political debates at funerals by distorting the positions of others in the debate and denigrating the intelligence the other people in the room. I for one would not want such a person attending a loved one's funeral, much less officiating. |

Here is what GG said: There are many voices here against the private ownership of guns. Can you for once allow others who support the right to own a firearm hold an opinion. Always some mouthpiece telling us their right, we are wrong. I respected the man and his commitment to the freedom of ownership of firearms. Talk until you go blue in the face, but the law will always support the freedom to hold arms. That comment is totally within the context of what was established as the basis of the conversation. Many of you want the ability to denigrate his stand, or pull the old "he was a good guy, but his views on gun control....." routine. One cannot discuss Heston and his life, without dealing with the last years, and his NRA time. You all know I would whack THIS GG, or any other, if they were violating our rules. This was not a violation, nor was it a troll attempt, IMO. Now, could we get back to discussing Heston and his life, as opposed to GG??? Mick |

He was a wonderful actor and his stance for the freedom to hold arms is what he will be best remembered for. It doesn't matter how many pressure groups spring up ranting on about banning firearms, guys like Heston and Bush will always see them down. That's what you have to admire about the Americans. One incident in the UK and every anti gun mouthpiece gets to have his say. More people are killed in one month in the UK my drunk drivers than are killed in a year by firearms. UK penalty for drunk drinking, twelve month ban (reduced to0 six months if you go on a court appointed "I admit I was a bad boy" course).<<< One sentence about Heston, Then HER opinions on "Ranting" and HER opinion about banning fire arms. HER opinion about The British. In some ways all of that is fair game in Mudcat discussions, but it is hardly the type of things a minister or even a respectful guest would say at a funeral. Would you go to Heston's funeral and start pissing on the British? Did you ever see of hear Heston pissing on the British? All of that Bile and bullshit is guest's own and has nothing to do with Charlton Heston or his death. |

You have no idea if this poster is a him or a her. I don't either. But if you were really reading the posts, you would see that this GG is not from the US. And I can tell you for certain that it isn't the other GG from Minnesota. Your obsession with that one, has caused you to assume something that the posts show isn't true. Not the same person. And this phoney piety piece, as if all the posters that would support your position were respectful, when they were not. It is tiresome. And the use of the term "bile and bullshit" is hardly respectful in an obit thread, is it? I repeat, it wasn't GG that introduced the gun talk. In fact, when one reads your opening post, there was not one shred of respect, but there was a misspelled quote about guns. So apparently the originator or the thread (that would be you, sir) had intended it to be about this man's gun views. Sometimes............ Mick |

He really gave full measure with that role - he treated a role that is usually pantomimed to death a real shot of reality. Great cast: Olly Reed as Billy Bones, Vincent price as Blind pew; that bloke out of American Psycho as Jim. The version of A man for All Seasons that he did was truer to the Robert Bolt play, but Paul Scofield, and the remarkable cast of that film:Orson Welles, Leo McKern, Wendy Hiller, Corin Redgrave had really made too deep an impression. |

Now GG is doing it and folks are beginning to call her on it... This thread isn't about guns... It's about Charlton Heston... Yes, it is appropriate to, in passing, make mention of his ionvolvement with the NRA but to use an entire post to rail on the subject, for or against, violates the spirit of this forum... Have I done it in the past??? Yeah, I have... I think just about everyone here has but we do, at the very least, try to follow some protocall, reagrdless of how wound up we might get on various subjects... That ios the issue... Not guns... That what I told GG in my initial complaint here... I told her/him/it to start another thread if she/he/it felt like railing for or agaisnt fun ownership... This is a case of manners and courtesy here... It ain't like I'm a hall monitor here but I will continue to call GG down for overstepping the spirit of threads and I've recieved plenty of PM's thanking me for defending the general rues of this joint by which 99% do our best to follow...

07 Apr 08 - 05:41 PM (#2309476) Subject: RE: BS: RIP Charlton Heston (5 April, 2008) From: Slag Thank you Bobert. Well said and in so saying, you retain your opinion(s) intact and demonstrate that you are, indeed, a gentleman. And, after which GG should have let it lie. The quote, "... from my cold dead hand, Mr. Gore..." Was from a speech, I believe an opening address to an NRA convention. Mr. Heston, Donuel, when he realized that he had symptoms of early onset Alzheimer's made an announcement to that effect and he stepped down from his position at the NRA. Nobody pried anything from his hand. He was always the gentleman. He was also a very humble man who was thankful for the opportunities he was afforded in his life. He loved his wife dearly and too, his children. It bothers me that so many are filled with hatred, spawned by one issue that they can't give the man his due. One lacks focus when they attempt to blast every area of some one's life over a single issue. In logic this is the fallacy of the hasty generalization. What the are really doing is telling something about themselves. The difference, Donuel, in the two quotes is that Mr. Heston's words were from a script in a movie where he portrayed a character. He was paid to portray this character and to utter those lines. And IN THAT STORY the subject of the condemnation was not the United States of America; it was to fanciful "talking gorillas". Rev. Wright's words were his OWN. They were heartfelt and shouted from a pulpit. A pulpit, I might add, that should have been used to honor the Prince of Peace, the model of forgiveness. Do you see the difference? Juxtaposing these two statements is not fair to either man. I am surprised that you were so impressed by such a hate directed attempt to manipulate prejudices and emotions. But, then again, maybe I shouldn't be. |

We will call everyone who injects their politics in a thread. That ought to work well. I maintain that Jack set the tone when he made his first post. Lord knows it feels odd defending one of the GG's, but the fact is that the tone was set from the beginning. As to others writing you PM's, I have no way of if that is so, but I will take your word for it. But the majority can often be the worst dictatorship, when an opinion runs contrary to them. This person, whoever the hell it is, did not start this, nor were they out of line. And given Jack's initial post, they were in the spirit of the thread. I am done discussing, but you all feel free to knock yerselves out. Remember, we will now monitor for when folks inject their politics in threads...... Mick |

We all know how you dislike Obama and anyone who supports him but we don't expect to open threads that have nothing to do with him only to have you bring your biases against him and his supoorters into those threads... No one went ballistic on C.H. over his NRA aqctivities until you devoted an entire post to bashing anyone who you might might have thought would disagree with you on gun control... Yours was an unilaterial assault and changed ther tone of the thread... You can take this critiqe or not... It's not meant to be mean spirited or win-loose...

On another thread you made it apparently clear you were going out to deal with me, what was it you said ? oh yes I remember "rope a dope". I really do not want any disagreement with yourself or anyone else here, an exchange of views yes. If you plan to challenge me on every thread as you said, fine with me.

Damn silly, isn't it? ;-) I see no possible remedy for this situation except if the "Guests" stop all posting under the same label...and how would we ever know if that happened? We wouldn't.

For the sake of clarity, I would like to suggest that you chose another name. Because of the behavior of the the other one it will be difficult for many not to see your posts through the filter of the other's behavior. I think that The comparison with Martin Gibson comes from the totality of posting under the name GUEST, guest throughout the forum. I still don't think that you acted like a minister. But I am sure that if you had used another name then you would have found much less oppositions to the positions you took and the words you used. |
