[-Jrabbit]

Looks like LotC, snoop369, Ozzy and Wezil score.

How can you think about your silly little game at a time like this?

[-Jrabbit]

Believe me, it was hard. I mean, there were tears falling on my keyboard as I typed that last post.

[Darius871]

I think you're being sarcastic

[DRoseDARs]

He's off to fight those damned, dirty apes in the sky... I guess we can take his gun now, his hands are cold and dead.

RIP

Well the death of Charlton Heston makes me think of nothing but fun and games.

I am not going to say good riddance, but something very close to it.

NRA
Charlton Heston

Now THAT is a poor perspective on the end of a life.

A jackass that would say such a thing.
You're a ****wit.

Few Europeans can really be expected to rise above the miserable level of objectivity, depth and fairness that characterizes our mainstream news reporting on US affairs.

The more uniquely American it is, the more it has to be chastised and driven into the dirt. This approach supposedly makes the viewers and readers feel so much better about themselves.

Asmodean thinks that the NRA goes away now?
Go ahead and celebrate. People call the participants of the Pool sick?
What a joke.

Yes, because five years speaking for the NRA is the only thing he's done in an 82-year life... how delightfully ignorant

Heston campaigned for Presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson in 1956 and John F. Kennedy in 1960. When an Oklahoma movie theater premiering his movie was segregated, he joined a picket line outside in 1961. During the civil rights march held in Washington, D.C. in 1963, he accompanied Martin Luther King Jr.. In later speeches, Heston said he helped the civil rights cause "long before Hollywood found it fashionable."

In 1968, following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Heston appeared on The Joey Bishop Show and, along with fellow actors Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas and James Stewart, called for public support for President Johnson's Gun Control Act of 1968. He also opposed the Vietnam War...

snoopy369 -> 155 + 16 = 171 points
OzzyKP -> 152 + 16 = 168 points
