Sean Penn

Condemning criticism of his earlier comments, he said: "My oh my, aren't people sensitive to the word 'colonialism,' particularly those who implement colonialism."

From the above, he's correct, thus should we discuss with him perhaps the Hawaiian Islands or perhaps Puerto Rico, better not mention California, New Mexico or Texas of course, then of course there's the touchy subject of Cuba.
Glass houses etc?

Where does one apply for these 'jobs'?

Who cares what some hapless film "star" thinks anyway?

Who cares what some hapless film "star" thinks anyway?

The Argentinians possibly? I'd tear his argument to pieces, and make him look hypocritical to boot.

Roy.

 

[Jonzjob]

He sounds as if he should keep to what he knows? The Fairy land of acting, if he really does know that?

I wonder if he can talk when he's sat down on what he talks through?

 

[stevep]

Just a hapless actor with a failing ' career ' trying to make a name for himself.

 

[Digit]

He's doing that all right! :lol:

Roy.

 

[mickthetree]

does he have a film or book coming out soon? No that would be too cynical to think like that wouldnt it.

:twisted: :twisted: :lol:

Good actor
Opinionated gobshyte otherwise (Argentina has elections and we make a good bogeyman,and he's rentagobbing his way into the media)

Perhaps in their argument with us the Argentinians believe that the Penn is mighter than the sword!

[Kalimna]

I did like one of the comments lower down "Poor Sean, he hasnt been the same since Team America"
Made me smile.

[Jonzjob]

Could it be the case that like all children he should be Sean and not heard? :mrgreen:

 

[Digit]

I believe that people are entitled to their opinion, I just wish on occasion that they knew what they were talking about! It appears that mister Penn has swallowed the Argie line hook line and sinker.
Perhaps if he learned how the US acquired the Hawaiian islands or Peurto Rico he might have less to say, I also wonder what he might say if a Brit actor were to suddenly start supporting the Hawaiian independence movement, yes there is one BTW. Might put the US president in a spot that!

If you are a native Hawaiian then here is you site :mrgreen:

Same in Peurto Rico of course. I think we can safely assume that mister Penn is either ignorant of his country's history or is a hypocrite to talk of colonialism.
