Paltrow won't raise child in U.S.
Oscar-winning actress fears 'weird, over-patriotic atmosphere'



American actress Gwyneth Paltrow said she will not raise her child in the United States because her homeland is too dangerous.

The Oscar-winning leading lady, who lives with her husband Chris Martin in London, is pregnant.

"I worry about bringing up a child in America," she said, according to the World Entertainment News Network.

"At the moment there's a weird, over-patriotic atmosphere over there, like, 'We're number one and the rest of the world doesn't matter,'" Paltrow said.

She added: "And the guns in school – it's not great."

As the Iraq war got underway last spring, a BBC Radio 1 entertainment column noted Paltrow had been speaking out about the conflict, but was careful not to take her comments too far.

She noted how much she loved her country despite her concerns, the BBC radio column said.

"It's pretty amazing how high the anti-American sentiment is in a lot of ways," Paltrow said of her adopted British home. "They call Tony Blair the vice-president!"

"I love America and I completely stand behind America," she said at the time. "But at the same time I'm a free thinking person and I question motives too and I question this war and the motives behind it."


This could go into politics, but I'd rather get everyones opinion.
Now I'll do my best to keep calm......
This stupid fucking bitch needs to keep her over-paid, by hard working over-patriotic American's, mouth fucking shut! Fuck her. Like her kid would ever step foot into a public school or ever live in a place called reality. Christ she annoys the shit outa me. I could care less that she doesn't agree with the war, but how the fuck can one move out of the country and say it's not suitable for me to raise my kid there and expect us to believe she loves America. This bitch loves your money, not America.

Sixate:

A question: If one of the things that America stands for is freedom - particularily freedom of speech - and you are a patriot who loves your country (which I do not doubt), how do you square this with telling a critic to shut up?

I'll grant that Paltrow is dumb. I'll grant that she might even be flat-out wrong. Why does that result in a call to silence?

Keep in mind that John Stuart Mill says in On Liberty that even offensive speech can serve freedom by exposing its own fallacies.

Because a critic doesn't leave. She says she loves her country, but where does she live? Where is her kid gonna be raised? Not in the place in which she "says" she loves. If she loved America so much she would be here and raise her kid here. All she loves is the high and mighty dollar that she gets from the people who live here. She loves her bank account and the fantasy in which she lives.

whats so upsetting? so she wants to live somewhere else? shes entitled to that, you're entitled to live there. no reason to get upset.

if you dont care for a child you get blasted, if you do, you get blasted?

alot more things to worry about than where an actress wants to live. If she's so dumb, why worry?

Live and let live.

yeah, I agree with Sixate here. If she truely loved this country.. then she would live here, and so would her child. I've grown up in this country and its cool.. as long as she doesn't live next to Sixate... I think she'd be ok.

Although, this doesn't make her Bitch... It just means she needs to choose her wording a little bit better.

I agree with sixate. She's another America-hating, over-paid "actress" who raped Americans of their money through movie tickets and now has so much hate for us and our way of life that she's decided to bail.

Also, anyone who disses Americans for loving our country (being Patriotic) needs to be given a 1-way ticket out and not allowed back in. Love it or get the fuck out.

I feel that she needs to leave. She's taking the overblown stories that she sees on the news about guns and war and (not being a member of the REAL world because she's a celebrity and all...) thinks it's happening everywhere! Now she's hating on America, the country she says she loves, by moving to another country, and I say good riddance.

and candide, if she doesn't live in america, she doesnt get the same rights that we do. Hopefully she moves to rijad or something where she won't even be able to talk....

It's not her fault that many Americans go and pay to watch her works of shit. Albeit movie tickets are way overpriced in some areas.

I think we're getting upset because she's being snotty.

"Guns in schools" and whatnot... like sixate said, there's no fuckin way her kid would EVER see a public school, let alone ANY type of dangerous situation in any way. She's being stuck-up, no two ways about it.

How is it your right to state where any man or woman can or cannot raise their own children, regardless of their status in society?

Sixate and the rest of you, with people like you around, I may not want to raise my kids here either. She's right. You being so infuriated by such a simple, small and most importantly inconsequential detail to your life scares me. And I'm sure it's scared many people, including Gwyneth.

That's so true. Not the "over-patriotic" statement, but how she said the majority of the people in the U.S. talk like "We're number one and the rest of the world doesn't matter.".

If you beleive that the social climate in your home country (doesnt have to be US, could be anywhere, afganistan, even) has changed for the worse - whether opinions have become more dangerous, or possibly society is more arrogant - and you have a choice to live somewhere else, why should you be the subject of scorn and ridicule, regardless of your social or financial status.

I'm of the "Who gives a fuck?" camp although I can hardly blame her. Since Sept 11, 2001 the USA has become a violently patriotic country. The government is stripping the rights of the people and the people are letting them. The people are unfriendly & suspicious of strangers and foriegners. Citizens born in the USA who have different beliefs (ie. muslim) are treated like third class citizens. The USA is quickly becoming the most hated nation on earth to the pointof being compared to Hitler's Germany. If I lived in the USA and had the option to live in another country until my homeland regained it's senses I would take the oportunity and leave.

She needs to move to a more "enlightened" socialist country where everybody is happy and disarmed. She'll have nothing to worry about because she can afford to live in the best places with the best bodyguards.

Gee. lemme guess. You're Canadian, right?

Violently patriotic is just a dumb comment. I live in America, and I have never heard any stories of some over-patriotic individuals beating and killing anyone who are against the government. Another thing, there's no such thing as being over-patriotic.
Since you don't live here you have no clue how people are treated. You just go by whatever the hell you want to believe.

Comparing the US to Hitler's Germany is even more retarded. If that were the case we'd be gassing all the America hating Canadians and Muslim's right now, but that'll never ever happen. It's not an option or even a thought process. Plus if Canada was ever attacked by anyone, we'd be the first one to do something. Not Canada.

Lastly, I haven't lost any freedom over the past few years, so I have no clue what you're even talking about.

"If that were the case we'd be gassing all the America hating Canadians and Muslim's right now, but that'll never happen"

More like, If that were the case we'd be using unprecedented attack strategies to wage war on supposedly terrorizing countries, where the vast majority of citizens are Muslim. But that has already happened. Not to mention imperializing our foreign policy agenda. Take over Afghanistan and create a controlled government. Check. Take over Iraq and create a controlled government, using the vice president's former company to uncontestedly rebuild the damage we caused ( http://truthout.org/docs_04/011804E.shtml ). Almost a check.

And yeah, sixate, you actually have lost a LOT of freedom - if you would simply open your eyes. Especially on the internet, due to the USA PATRIOT Act, many of my (and yours, too) freedoms have been severely limited. http://www.truthout.org/docs_01/0194.ACLU.e-Privacy.htm , http://www.aclu.org/SafeandFree/Safe...ID=12126&c=207

And no you are not gassing canadians & muslims but you are deporting Canadian citzens to third countries that are known to torture thier prisoners. Your own citizens of muslim faith ARE being treated as second class citizens, I have seen it first hand.

You personally may not have noticed any changes in your freedoms because you are a nice white boy who does not attempt to use the full extent of your former freedom.
