I hold a certain amount of disdain for him because once he started making movies, he could no longer be bothered to participate in the service organization he joined.
No, I mean Chuck Norris facts. Nobody gives a damn about Vin Diesel facts which is why they didn’t take off.
Yeah, a lot of those “Chuck Norris facts” are funny. And when he did those commercials for Mike Huckabee (who himself seems like a genuinely nice guy, despite my totally disagreeing with all his major opinions), it was funny in a down-to-Earth, willing to laugh at yourself way.
But there’s a difference between being a conservative, or even a “right winger”, and being a nasty theo-fascist bigot. (Of course, I’m sure Chuck would say he was “only kidding” and “gosh, don’t you atheists have a sense of humor?” Yeah, freakin’ hi-larious.)
What “gradual slide”? By all accounts, Norris has long been on the conservative bent of the political spectrum. This is like being upset that Sam Peckinpah made a derogatory comment about women.
Like Alessan I find it hard to evoke any genuine emotional response from within regarding Mr. Norris. He’s the vanilla ice cream of the martial arts world. Bruce Lee, on the other hand, is the Mint Chocolate Chip. That, of course, would make Jackie Chan the Peppermint Explosion, Jet Li the Moose Tracks Supreme, and David Carradine the Pineapple Banana Black Licorice Surprise.

Is there really anybody who prefers Chuck to Bruce? Bruce beat his ass in the Coliseum in Way of the Dragon.
So what flavor would that make Fedor Emelianenko, who could kick all their asses at the same time?
So long as you don’t dis Vin Diesel, you & I are OK.
Be careful what you say about Chuck Norris. I heard that underneath his beard he has no chin, just another fist.
Chuck the humorist is actually worse than Chuck the actor. Maybe he’s good at needlepoint or something.
I never thought much of him one way or the other, until he joined the nutbag parade and started talking about overthrowing the government and becoming “president of Texas.”
You gotta be careful saying that on the internet. That’s like walking into a bar in the deep south and proclaiming you hate NASCAR.
:smack:
Vin Diesel?
LOL.
? I’m not uncalm in any way. Please don’t imply that I am. I was really responding to **Crafter_Man’s **comment, anyway, and it was just a clarification.
…
Anyway, I actually don’t mind Vin Diesel. Not my favorite or anything, but I do like him better than Chuck.
It all started with UNCLE JESSE. Yabba Dabba!
The 70s and 80s were a different time for chest hair.
Weren’t Chuck Norris facts just rewarmed Bill Brasky facts?
Bill Brasky is a son of a bitch
My comment was to Crafter_Man, too. Look at the timestamps.
Bill Brasky taught me how to make love to a woman, and how to scold a child.
