I'm sure Dr. DiCaprio, renowned climate scientist thinks so...
Are you that famous actor named Craig?? Have you been invited to participate in something like Dancing with the Stars? No? Then we don't care how educated you are.

Man, someone sure stepped in some dog shit. To Robbie's defense, most Canadians have no idea how the American political system works. We think that it works like the Canadian system, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Living in the US for the past 16+ years I've learned the hard way how the American system works. And it was a very expensive and painful lesson.

Bullshit

Clooney
Quote:
After his parents moved to Augusta, Kentucky, Clooney attended Augusta High School. He has stated that he earned all As and a B in school,[22] and was an enthusiastic baseball and basketball player. He tried out to play professional baseball with the Cincinnati Reds in 1977, but he did not pass the first round of player cuts and was not offered a contract.[23] He attended Northern Kentucky University from 1979 to 1981, majoring in broadcast journalism, and very briefly attended the University of Cincinnati, but did not graduate from either.[24] He made money selling women's shoes, insurance door-to-door, stocking shelves, working construction, and cutting tobacco.[19][25]
Johansson
Quote:
After appearing in minor roles in Fall and Home Alone 3 in 1997, Johansson garnered widely spread attention for her performance in the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer, directed by Robert Redford.[6] She received a nomination for the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Most Promising Actress for the film.[23] In 1999, she appeared in My Brother the Pig and in 2001 in the neo-noir Coen brothers film The Man Who Wasn't There. Also in 1999, she appeared in the music video for Mandy Moore's single, "Candy".[24] Although the film Ghost World (2001) was not a box office success,[25] she received praise for her performance in what is considered her break-out role.[26][27][28] Credited with "sensitivity and talent [that] belie her age".[29] In 2002, she appeared in Eight Legged Freaks with David Arquette.[30]

The reality is most of them are successful, at least initially, because they're pretty...doesn't take brains or hard work to be that.

Hate to tar them all with the same brush, but....
In the business, the people who make all the hiring decisions are far left. The liberals have almost complete control of that town, and if you don't enthusiastically hew to the party line, you find yourself frozen out of access to work. There are a few critical thinkers out there, but to keep working, most have to keep their true colors secret. A few actually speak out, after they have gotten to a certain point in their careers, but most can't afford to.
And before anyone tries to call bs, my father in law was in the business, and my wife also, so personal experience here.

Something else you might want to take note of...

If you look up most of the actors that hold degrees, around 90% are degrees in the Arts: Sociology, General Studies, English, Theater, History, etc. Now, I think that furthering one's education is always a good idea and any education is a good education. I'm studying for my masters in Liberal Studies which is a pretty useless degree, but I'm 56 years old and doing it for fun.

There's just not a lot of analytics involved with all these clowns who THINK they're so very smart. Not a lot of underwater basket weaving classes in the sciences either.
 
Now...if Dr. Bryan May of Pink Floyd (PhD Astrophysics) or Dolph Lundgren (MS Chemical Engineering) Dr. Greg Graffin of Bad Religion (PhD Geology) were to opine on things, I might be inclined to listen more carefully.

Many people are well educated. What many well educated people don't recognize is how little they know about so many other things.

Actors as well as Scientist are entitled to thier opinions. What many fail to do is actually have facts to support thier opinions.
When I studied PolSci one thing became abundantly clear. The fewer the facts the average person had the stronger thier opinions.

They "know they're right, and that I'm ignorant".

Depends on what one defines as "educated".

They can regurgitate the same already proven false platitudes given to them by some power hungry politician or organization.

In that cause, sure we'll go with "well educated".



More literate? Very likely. They do have to read the scripts and memorize the lines for the parts they have to play. So sure, they're more likely to read something than the average voter.

More informed with the facts of the issues and able to comprehend them? Highly unlikely.



No denying they work hard.

Playing dress up and pretending to be different people while being filmed is hard work.

Just ask any elementary school kid who's playing with his friends how hard that "job" is.



Indeed. Most sheep (like those on the regressive left) don't know anything about what they're doing. They just blindly follow and do what their "educated" leaders tell them.
And if he's serious......Shame on you, Kermie........
