How is this any different that the movie "Three Kings"... That was the most disrespectful representation of the Military that I have ever seen. KC1

[banjo joe]

during his speech he thanked his wife for making him pro-abortion.

As Ed told me, it was either that or castration.

"illustrating the corruption, drug use and violence that goes on in US Army bases."

They meant to say at Democratic party fundraisers.

[MEGoody]

"But this Dixie-Chicks mentality of trying to stop cultural things from happening"

Huh? So it's not the right of Americans to NOT buy Dixie Chicks CDs, go to their concerts or call radio stations and ask them not to play Chicks music? Gee, all this time I thought it was.

[longfellow]

I am so glad their stores are closing, let's bury this company once and for all.

"The website itself wouldn't paste and copy, but the information from an MSN search for buffalo soldiers brought this up. The website describes it as a comedy, based in Germany quite a few years ago. I'll give it a "pass" as a comedy, for now. It isn't based in current Afghanistan or Iraq, so I don't think it holds our soldiers up to disrespect."

Where do you think the soldiers in Iraq are normally stationed? The 3rd ID is from Germany and this IS a direct misrepesentation of our brave soldiers that are still in Iraq. Most of our soldiers will eventually end up in Germany, at least until we shut the bases down.

I would in no way say that they are perfectly moral people, but they do Work hard and Play hard!

So it's not the right of Americans to NOT buy Dixie Chicks CDs, go to their concerts or call radio stations and ask them not to play Chicks music?

It's your right to NOT buy or participate in cultural things. It's your right to call a radio station and ask them to not play something, and that station should evaluate the call and decide whether or not to play the music.

I don't have any problem with freedom of speech. In the '60s, musicians sang about what they cared about. There was a creative explosion at the time...stuff you'd like to listen to, other things you wouldn't agree with. But what's wrong with listening to other views? Are you so insecure in your views that you think they won't hold up to opposition?

And look at the '60s, not through the distorted view you get. There were plenty of songs like MASTERS OF WAR and MONSTER and AMERICAN WOMAN, sure. But don't forget that one of the most popular songs of the time was Barry Sandler's BALLAD OF THE GREEN BERET.

If artists are stifled, so is thought. (And this is from someone who remembers the '60s!)

[grania]

It still won't copy and paste, can anyone else get it to do that?

The blurb states that it's set in Germany as the Berlin Wall is about to fall, when there was not a lot to do, because there was no conflict going on. It's based on a book. I thought the short writeup was trying to avoid any connection to the current situation.

hooywood types make me gag with FEW exceptions.

[Paul Atreides]

But this Dixie-Chicks mentality of trying to stop cultural things from happening that other people might want to see or hear is kind of not what tolerance and the Constitution are about.

Who's trying to stop anything? All I have read are comments from people who state that they are not going to see the movie.

I wish there was more that I could boycott but I already have been dooing it for years Against Disney father of the rodent....
