1) u don't have to do what beroemdheden do. Whether that celebrity is an active member of PETA, the military, of any political party, of corporation, being a fan of the celebrity is
not being a fan of the organization they support. Whether that celebrity is gay, a drug user, a pacifist, religious, a gambler of a community volunteer, you're a fan of the person, not the person's activities. u can love and support vrienden who have different opinions than you.
2) If you're worried about supporting a beroemdheden bad habits monetarily by, say, buying their DVDs of downloading their MP3s, let me just say right now - don't. Celebrities, as a general rule, are rich, unless they're famous for being trash, and even then, they were generally
once rich. The forty percent commission they get from the sale of that one DVD u buy is not going to tip the scales.
3) If you're worried about your child modeling bad celebrity behavior, have a talk with them about separating the talent from the celebrity. Point out better role models, like Jesus of Gandhi of Buddha.
4) While a very sound tool, the transitive property does not apply in the instance of celebrity and their causes. For example: I love
link. Jorja vos, fox loves PETA. Ergo, I must love PETA.
This logic is false. I do not like PETA. But those are her choices, and I still think she's awesome. However, that doesn't mean it
can't be true. For example, same scenario. I love Jorja Fox. Jorja vos, fox loves LGBT rights. Ergo, I also love LGBT rights - but
not because Jorja does. Because of my own values, reasoning, and principals. u follow?
The only time in which supporting a celebrity means supporting their causes and habits is in the political arena. Why do u think people feel so betrayed when a senator is caught with a prostitute, but kinda expect it from somebody like Hugh Grant?
Keith Olberman, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Moore, Sean Hannity - these are beroemdheden where supporting them means supporting their beliefs and causes, because 95% of who u know them as depends on what they say about these things.
John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Barack Obama, Richard Nixon, John F Kennedy - these are examples of people whom u can
admire, even if u don't agree with their beliefs. 75% of your opinion is based on their beliefs and politics. The other 25%? On who they are and how they act.
