extreme liberals and conservatives have no boundaries or respect for others. they have killed this country. notice that pedophilia always can be found nearest these extremes. it’s the most evil thing that can be done. killing the spirit of a child. when you think of the dark side. what’s truly dark…you think of “people” like Polanski or all religious extremes …all of which prey on children more than they seem to pray. all cults. hollywood cult. religious cult. please stop supporting this destruction.

Wow, what a bunch of idiotic comments.

Especially from EdSki: Hollywood will be relegated to the ash heap of history? Oh really? Funny, because that’s what the conservatives were saying back in 1920s. You see how that has worked out. (Btw, it’s “relegate”, not “regulate”.)
Hollywood won’t disappear as long as Americans desire to watch silly movies and TV shows. People don’t care about an agenda – they just want to be entertained. Also, entertainment industry has no obligation to operate as a “democratic republic”.
Ron Smorynski: You do have some point, but I don’t see what teenagers have to do with marriage – unless you want them to get married in high-school. Well, it wasn’t that long ago that 13-year-old girls were allowed/forced to get married, so why not bring that laws back? (But in that case we should go easy on Polanski, no?)
And I’m sorry, but gay teenagers have every right to be ensured that they also have a chance for happiness and healthy, productive relationships. What would YOU want to tell them? That they’re doomed, perverted, sick and are going to hell? Do you realize that this kind of “teaching” leads to depression and suicidal thoughts? Would you like to have their blood on your hands? Oh, that’s right they should just suppress all those homosexual feelings and grow up to be Ted Haggards, right?

And finally, it’s clear to me that none of you have ever read any Polanski posts & comments on liberal blogs. So let me tell you: they absolutely hate him and his defenders.

My prediction is Hollywood will not wake up, and American society will regulate it to the ash heap of history.

I’m not in the industry, other than being the consumer of the product, but it certainly seems to me that it operates more like an imperial power than a democratic republic.

And, as James Madison so eloquently proved at the Constitutional Convention, empires always end up, eventually, on the ash heap of history.

It’s okay for 9-17 yr olds to get abortions, ‘get tested’, use condoms, have education on homosexuality as an okay positive choice in their life.

But abstinence, celibacy, and marriage are not taught. Nor are the statistics… of promiscuity, homosexuality, and STDs. (via my own daughter’s school.)

They are using Polanski, gay marriage, and HIV billboards to push an agenda of hedonism. It is a full frontal assault on families.

Could the Hollywood nobility feel that Polanski’s behavior falls under the definition of “noblesse oblige”? After all, these members of the glitterati pretend to be our betters and, therefore, are not subject to the laws and morals of the common herd.

You are right, of course. And dessicated? Excellent and perfectly descriptive word. I think I’ll keep that one.

Whoopi Goldberg perceives a nuanced difference between “rape” and “rape-rape.” I wonder if, in pondering the days of Jim Crow, she makes a similar distinction between “lynching” and “lynching-lynching.”
