You can never be sure about who is listening (recordings), and/or its ramifications ... England one second, U.S. the next.

Well, I. being a Cuban, by birth, and knowing what was not done in Cuba, and how an imposed individual lasted over fifty years in power, due to the lack of impulse of the Cubans to get rid of him, do not feel that a person that does not respect us, whether he is a President elect or not, should be respected just because he was supposedly elected President. And yes, a President, also has to gain our respect. I agree with what Linda says about not having any respect for Depp, but I do not have any for any President that does not follow the constitution and that thinks that because he is the President he can get away with anything, constitutional or not.

Mind you, I am not agreeing with Depp, either, because we are not in the wild, wild west, when people did away with one another without reason, just because they were on each other's way.

I am not for assassinations, neither am I for wars, no matter what. We have been engaging in wars since time began, and we are not better for any of them. We are not here to impose our will on anyone else, nor are we here to impose our ways in any other type of culture.

To each its own.

We were created of the same substance, and we should respect everything in creation, from rocks, to plants, to animals to humans whatever the way they manifest.

I am a vegetarian and I believe in no harming anything for no matter what reason, but there are physical harms, psychological harms and in-humanitarian harms.

I do not think the powers over any nation should be given absolutely to one individual, I believe in checks and bounds, and although this nation is not a democracy, it is a Republic, but there are more than one party.

And in humanity, we need to consider others, not just our own whims.

No, dear Linda, I that became am American citizen, as soon as I could, swore by the Republic, which it is, and for which we stood sworn to defend. 

A nation this size, could not be a democracy, because not all of us have a say on any matter, but there is a constitution, and by following it, and by being many partisan, we stand a chance to come close to it.

And Minque, I do not think the Depp cared whether the USA heard it or not, in fact I think he wanted it to be heard in the USA, for whatever the reason, he must have felt mad enough that he wanted to be heard by the same person he was threatening.

I do not know what his problem is, but he could not care less, obviously, when he said what he said.

He must have felt big enough to say it.

Now if he gets killed, people would know who to blame, therefore, he had no fear of been eliminated.

Or he was drunk or drugged, which is not unusual for actors to be, and said it because he did not weight the consequences.

I just saw the news and wanted to share them, for discussion, obviously, not because i agree with what was done.

Haha! Maybe it's time for the heavy people to lock him up in Guantanamo Bay or some other security complex or other which litter the place. Only kidding, he's one of my favorite actors:). He was the one who exposed Mc Donalds as a front for Mephistopholes after all ~ we owe him big time for raising awareness.

Mind, in other countries which don't enjoy the same freedoms, a comment like that would surely result in a long time in jail or a swift disappearance through the cracks.

You are so right, Zephonith!

He may still disappear through the crack, though!!

Free speech ~ a hot potato, only if it doesn't suit the chef in charge of the kitchen? I just lol at our so-called leaders. They probably don't realize how silly they appear to the ordinary little people who they consider "not even people" if they happen to disagree with racist comments, war god behavior and free-spending sprees.

At least one of these days, there will no longer be any rulers, only teachers and counselors. It's something to look forward to! In the meanwhile though, I'll just carry on being a fan of Johnny Depp.

I see that my reply did not post.

Well, I said I was with both of you, Janet and Linda.

And I also added a portion of the post that I did not post:

"Madonna has publicly shared her thoughts of “blowing up the White House.” A Julius Caesar production which presented the assassinated ruler as an actor who looked strikingly like Donald Trump cause the New York Public Theater to lose funding. And let’s not forget Kathy Griffin’s presentation of a bloody severed head that resulted in a pink slip from CNN.

While these celebrities could quite possibly be noted by the Secret Service, it’s more likely that the president’s watch dogs will let nature take its course in a society built on capitalism. Boycotts and Twitter demands might make these celebrities more famous, but they also result in lost funding and a mark on their careers that isn’t likely to go away."

And I also added, that I do not believe this will be the case, since most movie stars have worked hard to make it where they are at, and are far richer than Trump is.

Also, this is America and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and there is freedom of speech.

Of course, Johnny was only probable making a joke out of it all, but I do not think that anyone can disagree with him that we have a very radical President that is imposing his will on us, and cares less about any of our opinions!
