is animal rights considered a 'left wing' sort of thing? by the way.i have always felt people should speak up about things when they have an audience.i grew up in the 80s when there was a lot of that kind of thing

and yes,they can be ignored

You'll never stop people having opinions, so just decide who you want to listen to.

Why shouldn't they voice their opinion just cos you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's wrong

Voicing is fine but when they try to influence things in a political way that's when they need nipple twisting

emma watson

nowt wrong with these people having an opinion. lets see if they will be just as vocal when one of these recycled teens turns out to be an ISIS mass murderer.

it's their right to spout any bo11ocks

I like some of Casey Neistat's vids but that Hillary vid was ridiculous, his points were dull and he looked like a twat.

Her views on feminism is slanted to say the least. Can't understand why they had her as a figurehead and gave her a role that is too big and complex for her experience /age

The fact that they are celebrities doesn't make their opinion and more or less valid than anybody else. That said, if you are in a position where you have a public voice, trying to use it for the benefit of other is the socially responsible thing to do. I still reserve the right to completely ignore them and cry preaching.

And right wing celebrities run for President. What if working class left wing people agree with the rich left wing people and what if conservative working class people agree with them as well? Could it just be that some people have an opinion you don't agree with but only find especially offensive because they're rich and you're not?

They've got themselves in a position where they can influence more people, so their views can, and probably do, have more effective weight even if they're legally and morally even.

Thing is though, is their position entirely their choice, and are celebrities then a natural and fairly reflective balance of society..? Hell no they're not!

Take the BBC, hiring anyone as long as they're left wing.. When corporations are choosing people to play as heroes to the masses, then those heroes are then selected public manipulation.

Yeah, Lilly Allen and Gary Lineker have had such a strong influence on my life. I just love those things that they did to make them famous.

Think it's more offensive for those celebs to judge the normal people for having a different opinion...esp when they say they are ashamed to be British because we chose brexit or question an age

Well I am working class conservative and I ashamed of Brexit.

Yeah but you aren't thinking of the bigger sword widdling picture

i can normally manage to see the good in people's intentions when there is some even when i disagree

has anyone here honestly been influenced because they heard a celebrities opinion on a subject ?

You're exceptional tho iil
