I've been a fan of Russell from way before he was famous and regardless of what anyone says about him he does have a lot of interesting things to say. He's going to have to find a balance between being a Hollywood A-lister and an outspoken libertarian (or whatever you want to call him) without looking like a hypocrite though (not that you can't necessarily be both). He's a very intelligent person and I agree with the vast majority of what he has to say, but I really hope he doesn't ruin his career because of his outspoken views as I can easily see him getting blackballed and falling into obscurity like many others who speak out against the norm or MSM etc.

I also love how Russell manages to woo pretty much any woman that he comes into contact with. I suspect that's why a lot of men hate him haha.

i'm a fan of his, and also a meditator like him. he's pretty awesome. i know some people criticize him for "preaching" while living with abundant wealth, but it's not a big issue for me.

btw, if guys hate him, it's because he kind of has a bohemian/hippie style to him. and they hate that.

I think criticising his wealth is a petty topic really and that's usually also just out of jealousy, but I'm sure there are many reasons why people, especially men, dislike him: wealth, fame, looks, intelligence, Englishness, eccentricity, outspokenness, and most of all the sheer amount of women he's slept with and they haven't  Cheesy.

And I don't get the whole meditating thing. I've always been a sceptic of it but maybe I just don't understand it.

you should try the meditation before being a skeptic. doesn't that make sense?

and being british makes him hateable huh.. i didn't know people hated brits. i think the people who don't like him because he speaks freely and has that hippie vibe - lots of americans hate hippies, mainly the conservatives.

You don't think people hate people because of their nationality? You also seem to try make a point of my Englishness or Britishness when you can too  Cheesy. People will use whatever they can about you to try get one over or dislike you for it.

And I'm a sceptic on spiritualist mediums, but it doesn't mean I need to go see one to confirm my suspicious. All meditation looks like to me is closing your eyes and relaxing. I do that all the time right before I go to bed.
