Do you listen to celebrities?

Question

Well here I go again. I just read that the Dixie Chicks were snubed by the ACM.(big surprise) for bashing Bush. First why should we listen to any celebrities? Most don't even have high school education. Most who have a good education don't push their political views. So in other words your taking advice from a trailer trash movie star. Can't people think for themselves. And what makes these "celeberities" think they are wiser and more informed than the average american? I think that anyone who votes because a "star" tells them to is an idiot. Yet it seems a lot of people do just that. Both for the Republicans and the Democrats.
Mind you the Dems seem to attract more of the Hollywood types. Well on second thought never mind celeberities. Do you vote for someone because someone tells you to. If so why do you do it?

Answer 1

im glad someone thinks the same...i thought it was only me who felt that way....kudos man...and to answer your question....HELL NO....

Answer 2

I agree with you. Most Americans are uneducated when it comes to their government and they will listen to others, who they think can inform them. What they need to do is research each candidate themselves from various sources and not take their information and queues from celebrities. I personally hate celebrities and everything they stand for. They think their better than everyone else just because they have 5 houses and 35 cars. When what you say is exactly true - most are high school drop outs and have no education at all. Anyone that listens to a celebrity has no brain and has no business voting. Good Question/Thought - thanks.

Answer 3

I believe they use celebrities so that peopel who think they relate with that celebrity or love that celebrity will agree or they hope that using a celebrity wilo get more recognition. I make my own choices. whether I hear what a celebrity wants or my mom. i may listen and if theres good reasoning maybe conside it, but consideer it if it makes sense not because the person says it is rich or gorgeous. I vote for someone because i believe nin them . but face it you can vote at 18 and at that age u r still very influencable.

Answer 4

I pay no attention to celebrities or anyone else when it comes to casting my voting....I research the candidates records and see which one I think will do the best job.....I don't need others to tell me who to vote for ...

...I kind of find it disturbing to hear on my answering machine some celebrity's recording telling me to vote for a certain politician...I don't feel this is what my phone service is for...

Answer 5

I don't understand why they would be snubbed, they have the right to free speech as anyones else does. I think it would be pretty hypocritical to tell people who they should not listen too. Kind of like saying "listen to me on who you shouldn't listen too". I'm not saying that is what you are doing, but a lot of people do by saying that all celebrities are ignorant. They have a large influence on their audience because people admire them and want to hear what they have to say.

Answer 6

no i dont listen to celebrities a lot of them are not good role modles except maybe for the rehab centers who has the worst additions. when i vote i vote for the president who has views and values i belive in

Answer 7

No I don't.....not when it comes to them pushing their products to you on infomercials (which they always say their not getting paid for, but come on who really believes that crap?) and definitely not when it comes to politics and voting

I enjoy their talent of making music or acting but that's it...it's just like what you said, just because they're good at what they do what makes that, make people (their fans or otherwise) believe that they should also be right about telling us who to vote or not vote for....or what products to buy (infomercials)

Answer 8

I certainly try not to let others influence my judgment....more so the older I get I want to have my OWN opinions and feelings on political matters...I feel like those who are swayed by a celeb simply because they like them probably don't know anything about the issue to begin with....but that's just my opinion :)

Answer 9

i do no longer think of you will get a rapidly answer. some could declare that they like a metallic band or a metallic band is their widespread. I many times do no longer purchase it nor do i care. For the hollywood kinds, in spite of in the event that they like metallic it is not of their desirable activity for the prevalent public to be attentive to. they ought to stay present day and fashionable. notably they ought to represent the type this is paying them on the time. some professional athletes will admit to it. that's no longer plenty a huge deal for them as their profession is in line with taking part in a recreation. (i be attentive to that for some their earnings isn't in line with their athletic ability...david becham ) As others pronounced it, Chris Jericho is a metallic fan. I thoroughly purchase it. His call is in line with Helloween's partitions of Jericho album. i assume for expert wrestlers having any association with heavy metallic won't have the capacity to harm their public perception, final factor you opt for for is a wrestler to be seen as a wuss. on the difficulty of celebrities and metallic, what annoys me is once you notice them carrying a classic metallic t shirt as a manner fact. This was once complication-free at one element. How lovable, little hollywood princess is an edgy rebellion. pathetic. very final remark, i keep in mind watching the on a regular basis teach. there replaced into an interview with Natalie Portman. apparently she hung out in Germany filming some action picture or what have you ever. She makes a remark that she went to work out a "loss of life metallic" stay overall performance on a similar time as in Germany. i think you are able to study between the strains of what she replaced into implying there. Too undesirable loss of life metallic is predominantly an American form of track.

Answer 10

no i dont listen to anyone famous if i am going to pick someone for president is do they belive in what i belive in and if they dont then i wont vote for them.
