Ted Danson testifies before Congress against offshore drilling

[aqua0501]

Most of our oil comes from Canada, not the "terrorist countries in the Mid East wanting to hurt Americans."

[LiberalshateAmerica]

Nice to see another hollywood socialist supporting buying more oil fromt he middle east! What a asshat!

[captaindiesalot]

this is just nonsense from another actor and actress...question: How did you get to Washington, DC? Private Jet?

[cheersfan06]

this isn't just nonsense. Ted Danson has been a supporter of the oceans since 1987 when he made the American Oceans Campaign. He testified last year and they did nothing so he's back again

Cheers:

This is nonsense. sorry. America should be drilling here, and minimizing the money going to the damn arabs.

and/or building a large number of nuclear power plants, which is idiot will undoubtedly be against.

I'm not going to listen to an actor without a high school education, who flew to washington on a private jet, tell me about drilling for oil off a state that I live in.

He should stick to acting. They all should.

Ted Danson doesn't even have a private jet. just because someone is rich and famous doesn't mean they are a bad person. so stop taking shots at someone u dont even know

[captaindiesalot]

cheers:

This isn't some mythical bar in boston...it's America. You think Ted and Mary didn't fly to DC on a private jet? I never said they owned a private jet.

Regardless, when you take a public stand and speak for a select group of people, you take the risk that there are others who think you're full of shit; a hypocrite.

Actors need to quit preaching and keep acting.

[cheersfan06]

your entitled to your own opinion, and so am i and i think theres nothing wrong with someone taking a stand for something they believe in. at least he's using his money for a worthy cause

[captaindiesalot]

cheers:

No, he's using his money, or someone else's, to get all of us to use ours.

I live in Florida, there are over 2000 oil platforms in the Gulf. They haven't caused a spill in years. They offer habitat for marine life, they offer resources for our use.

We need energy independence, and it is our national right to obtain these resources. We don't rape the environment and pollute the seas anymore, if we ever did.

So you spend your money, leave mine alone.

[cheersfan06]

ok its obvious that we disagree and that its not going to change. we have our own opinions and i'm going to leave it at that. you did give me a few things to think about, though. have a nice weekend. good night

[cheersfan06]

do u have any more of this?
