I have an alternative one for Harland Williams. Yes, Harland was in "Dumb & Dumber," which starred Jim Carrey who starred in "The Majestic," directed by Frank Darabont (and I think any SK fanatic can recognize THAT name).

[Grant]

Gatorman wrote: "Why is Chuck Norris reprehensible?"

Basically, because he wants to force all kids of many different faiths to study his "holy book" as fact in public schools. And he campaigned for Mike Huckabee, who believes there's more truth in superstition than in science.

He's reprehensible because he's a Christian Conservative and supported Huckabee? Seriously? You don't have to agree with his views but calling him reprehensible because of them is just wrong. Let's keep politics out of the game, shall we?

[Brent]

Wrong place for this debate, I think.

[Gatorman]

You got that right.

[David]

Yes, let's leave the politics out of this group, especially since I'm sure there are plenty of good Christian conservatives who can still enjoy a left-wing progressive like Stephen King. Bi-partisanship FTW!

Btw, Chuck Norris doesn't swim. Water just wants to be around him.

Now, back to the subject at hand:

Carl Reiner was in Oceans 11/12/13 with Casey Affleck, who was in Gone Baby Gone with Morgan Freeman, who was in Shawshank Redemption and Dreamcatcher.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse

[Brent]

Christopher Mintz-Plasse was in KickAss with Chloë Grace Moretz with Melissa George who was in Bag of Bones.

There's a shorter route but I like this one hehe.

Dakota Fanning

[Courtney]

Butch Patrick

[Brent]

Butch Patrick was in The Munsters with Fred Gwynne who was in Pet Sematary playing an awesome Jud Crandall.

Natalie Portman

[Grant]

Gatorman: I agree, it's the wrong place for this debate, but you asked, and I answered. I'm just going to say one more thing before I drop this subject. Norris is entitled to his views, and I don't condemn him for them. What I condemn him for is his advocacy of the abolishment of church-state separation. He wants to indoctrinate children into his religion and no other, and wants the state to help him do it. If he wants to preach his religion, fine. He has that right, and I would never consider taking that right from him. But let him do it in a church, not in a public school, where children are required to be by law.

As for his endorsement of Mike Huckabee, there's another politician who wants religion taught in public schools, advocating the displaying of the Ten Commandments and the teaching of "intelligent design" and the bible as fact. In short, making the state preach his religion.

I don't call them reprehensible for their views or their morals, I call them reprehensible for attempting to force others to live by their views and morals, and attempting to get the government to help them do it.

There. I'm done.

I'll say one more thing and I'm done. I don't agree with your charecterization of what Norris and Huckabee want. They are not trying to "force" others to live by their views and morals and don't expect the government to help them. They are constitutionalists and the Constitution provides for separation of church/state. I think your charecterization of them and the use of the word "reprehensible" is unfair regardless of whether you or I support their views or not. Now I'm done. No more politics.

Yeah....I agree with above comments from Gatorman and a few others. I do believe in your term of "holy book" as I am a Christian, so your words are offensive. Please leave your politics out of this, and if you want to discuss politics in the SK Group, maybe you should make a thread for it and people can come and go as they please and join in if they want to. Hope you have a great day.

[Grant]

All right, no more politics. I'll keep my opinions to myself. I'm back after suffering a computer crash, and I'm ready to get back in this game....without any offensive comments. I apologize.
