Everything he's set out to do, he has acheived and then some. He has taken life by the horns and come out on top, which is exactly what a man should do.

Antithesis to the "life is unfair so it's not my fault I'm a loser" mentality that is so prevalent in the anglosphere.

Yes. I don't think that's exclusively a male thing though. Women have goals too. What are human beings without goals. And I can see how far Arnie has come and how successful he became as an athlete, then an actor and then politics. Dishonourable men often go far.

But he's also a pig. He betrayed his family. He objectifies women in an appalling manner. That's not the feminist in me speaking - Arnold goes way beyond the pale.

This is a thread about Arnie, not Muslims.

There are a million other threads for the Islamophobes.

Because I'm not obsessed with them like you are. I'm talking about Arnold and what a w@nk he is. I'll discuss the Muslim wanks in a thread about Muslims if I feel the need.

She's not talking about the prank.

She's talking about Arnie in general.

Yes but I'd call that a lack of self confidence on her part.

Has she ever considered she might be pretty boring maybe?

Plenty of people got on with his really well who aren't Young and pretty

I've acknowledged his achievements. There are plenty of crappy people who exceed their goals through will and ruthlessness. His marriage helped him immensely and ended in betrayal. You respect that?

That she didn't appreciate his humour? You've got to be kidding. It was a crass physical assault that humiliated her. Who on earth would find that funny?

Margolyes is gay and old and fat. She hardly expected him to hit on her - just treat her as the intelligent, respected actor and comedienne and colleague that she is instead of dismissing her as nothing.

I can't believe you're defending what he did. If someone did that to you in your office, you'd laugh it off?

This is all very enthralling. What precisely did he do to this 'gay and old and fat' person?

Norton is a great host, and he has some great music acts on the show (Muse the other night were very impressive). I suspect that those who don't like him are probably homophobes. Takes all kinds, I suppose.
