Since when does memorizing words and being told what to do by a director constitute being creative?
Being creative is taking a lump of clay and turning it into a beautiful vase.
Being creative is taking a blank canvas, a few little pots of paint, and turning it into a beautiful landscape.
Being creative is taking a bolt of fabric and turning it into a one-of-a-kind gown.
Standing in front of a camera is not being creative.
Hollywood isn't just the actors you know...it's everything that goes into it as well and it's an incredibly creative bunch. Ever notice the costumes, sets, effects, storylines? Camera work? NO?
Intelligent?? Supporting breakdown of our freedom and constitution is intelligent?? Supporting a government where their beloved self-expression in creativity is stifled is intelligent??
I'm going to assume you don't live in the United States. Nor on Earth.
I agree that communism is bad system of government.
As a person in business, a property owner, and a landlord I think capitalism - while not perfect or ideal - is a much better system. Free markets.
I am a liberal, though, because I believe in the absolute separation of church and state, the right of women in reproductive choice, the legitimacy of society to protect our environment from pollution, the civil rights of all minorities including LGBT folks, the right to marry the person you love even if they are your same-sex partner, and the right of employees to organize and for collective bargaining.
I'm not concerned about liberalism. I am concerned about communism.

Yes, I was talking about directors, producers, etc., as well. Many of them have long been suspected of being communists.

Don't you know we don't have a communist government?
It sounds ilke you need to get educated as to what communism is. If you knew what it meant, your petty OP would never have been created.
(please note, I am not suggesting you're creative. Just thought I'd be clear, seeing you have issues understanding the correct definition of words)
I know what communism is. I have read about the communist governments past and present, and they really don't add up to Obama(for the most part). But every Republican and conservative-leaning independent I have ever known and talked to INSISTS that he is. They say we will lose our freedom, our rights, and everything else.
When I say "for the most part." This is what I have found on Obama that makes me really wonder if he really is:
Money is what made America great...not ideology. Hollywood types or "artists" have the luxury to be idealistic liberals because they are frinking rich...not because they were intelligent but because they sold out...where as REAL artists never go into the public eye--They are actors for god's sake - the five foot 4 nerds you knew in high school who joined the drama club because they craved attention..
I worked on over 150 big production American films...I saw it all- Yes there are some intelligent people among the acting crowd- but most are not. They are mostly spoiled little brats..

Chinese people don't use facebook because they have a similar website totally in Chinese language.
They don't use google as often also because they have "baidu", the second largest search engine in the world.
You need to know the sun does not revolve around the US.
