I don't think that Carrey gives a f**k about losing a few fans at this point in his career.

[Zipperfish]

Probably not. I'm guessing he lives down there. Seems to be that's part of the deal. Move to the US, there's gonna be a lot more cops and a lot more guns. Goes with the territory. If I chose to live there, I'd just hold my breqath ot cool my porridge.

If Charlton Heston can be NRA president, I guess that Carrey can mock it.
Besides, if that same sketch had been presented on SNL, nobody would have complained.

I voted for "stick to Hollywood".

I'm voting for 'Eugene Carrey should move to Canada where more people like that kind of crap'.

I'm fairly certain that most celebrities, even the ones with bodyguards around them, have rapid access to their own firearms within their homes for self-protection, thanks to the activities of stalkers and some of the other scum they let into their lives (i.e. drug dealers, moochers, ass-kissers, etc.). I'd be interested in knowing if Jim Carrey has one too, or if he's still so Canadian that (according to what Michael Moore believes anyway) he leaves the doors of his Los Angeles home unlocked at night.

What, the right to make fun of something or someone you don't agree with? God forbid.....hey wait a minute.... He does in Islamic republics

I was always a little unclear on that.
Do you mean lock your doors when you're at home?
Grew up in East Van/Burnaby. Dad locked the door when he went to bed. Or when everyone went out and nobody was home.
Now I live in the boonies. I've gone on holidays and forgot to lock the door several times. No problem.
Biggest problem I have is remembering to lock the car doors when I go to the city.

Don't get me wrong, I defend his right to say what he said and I also defend my right to tell him to eff off.

Freedom of speech... giving us the right to mock the staunch supporters of freedom of speech... whether they like it or not.

He's an American citizen now, so he has the right to say what he wants within the limits of your constitution. As for more people who like that 'kind of crap', I'm pretty sure that there are more American citizens that agree with stricter gun laws than there are people in all of Canada

In Bowling For Columbine, Moore did a segment where he walked around downtown Toronto talking to some of the hipsters living in the trendy areas there and claiming that people there didn't lock their doors at night because Canada is apparently all peachy-keen and *gun-free, or whatever other nonsense Moore was pulling out of thin air to "prove" his point. Almost every person I know from rural areas or small towns locks their homes too because the ones I talked or worked with all said that there were as many nutcases and dirtbags out in the sticks as there are in the cities. By Moore's standard you, me, and anyone else who locks the doors of their home (whether you're at home or not) is some sort of raging paranoid freakzilla as bad as the kooks stockpiling guns and ammo. I've forgotten to lock the back door at night and kicked myself in the ass for it when it happens for being careless, inattentive, and stupid. Bad things can happen anywhere at anytime to anyone, despite what clowns like Michael Moore want people to believe.

* The dependable left-wing train of thought, where an inanimate object like a firearm is existentially and solely responsible for the crime regardless of the intent or mental health of the person with their hand on it.

I have friends who moved to the sticks and coming from the city, always locked their doors. They finally understood that when in Rome, do as the Romans and stopped doing that. She was alone in the house one day and when she came out of the shower, her male neighbor was sitting on her couch, waiting for her... freaked her out.

[ShepherdsDog]

I had unlocked doors while at home and the dogs were in the porch.

[Thanos]

Large dogs on the premises and/or having a gun around would be about the only things that would even make me think about not locking the doors at night. Preferably the former because I really don't want much to do with the latter.

[ShepherdsDog]

My firearms were always locked in a cabinet and the ammunition was stored separately, so home defence was a couple hundred pounds of canine......besides, you can only shoot an intruder once. You can let a dog chew on the bastards awhile.
