Go ahead, move out of the country!

cal-icons2-201408-118I would like to start off by saying everyone has the right to say what they want in this country! That is a fact I defend. I do not advocate silencing anyone. That being said, your right to speak doesn’t make you right. It also does not remove any of the consequences of your actions. I am not talking about criminal things like people attacking you for what you said, that is wrong, but if what you said makes people not buy tickets to your show or movie or sporting event that is your own fault. This is the part I think movie stars, athletes, and musicians don’t get. If you are in the arts and entertainment field you have fans. These fans love your music, acting or athletic ability, and they most likely come from all walks of life, faiths, and creeds. A lot of these stars have spent many years working at those talents but that doesn’t mean they have skills in all areas. I am an IT guy and I would hope that if someone has an IT problem I am an expert that can help them with a computer issue. I am asking , please, if you have an accounting problem, go to someone else! I am not good at accounting, in the same way, when these entertainers speak on politics and faith making stands that are just dumb or controversial they risk the wrath of those who are fans. I don’t mind them expressing their views in a humble way understanding that others may not agree, I do mind when they shove it in my face and believe if I don’t agree I am stupid. And please stop telling us you are going to move to another country if you don’t get your way, we don’t care and we know you won’t do it anyway. The bottom line is you make money off of us, and if you don’t figure out we don’t want your opinion, you may not have the option of making more money off of us in the future!
