Exactly. I give the same weight to an actor and the average guy I bump into at a store when it comes to their views on politics, the environment, gun control, or anything else. The exception would be if they first established some credibility by having a background that would make them more knowledgeable than the average person on the issue.LucasMcCain wrote:I'm so sick of people thinking that because someone is famous their opinion is worth any more than anyone else's. You don't have to be intelligent, educated, informed, or a decent human being to be famous. Often these attributes are not particularly compatible with fame. Not to mention that the ultra rich and I don't usually agree on politics in general.

As far as Schumer, I actually like her stand-up. It is a bit raunchy, but I find it funny. But I don't like it enough to support someone who is espousing crap on topics where they are completely ignorant.
