George Clooney is calling for a boycott of hotels owned by the Sultan of Brunei
The Nation of Brunei is a tiny oil and natural gas rich country on the northern coast of Borneo. It has a population of some 400,000 Muslims that are ruled by Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah. Like all Islamic nations, Brunei adheres to the belief that homosexuality and adultery are major sins.
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah (for short) has announced that starting this month, Sharia law ill be applied to homosexuality and adultery. That means gays, lesbians and adulterers will be stoned to death if caught having sex.
That got George Clooney’s dander all in an uproar. Brunei owns nine luxury hotels - three in Britain, two in the US, two in France and two in Italy - including the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Bel-Air in Los Angeles, the Dorchester in London and Le Meurice in Paris. Clooney is calling for a boycott of all nine hotels in deference to the LGBT community.
Who the fuck is Clooney to be leading the charge against the Sultan of Brunei. Clooney is nothing but a wealthy Hollywood actor married to a wealthy civil rights attorney. He is just part of a sleezy entertainment industry that includes sexual predators Harvey Weinstein and Kevin Spacey, the late child molester Michael Jackson, Black Panther Party cop-killing thugs glorifier Beyonce, hate-crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett and college admission briber Lori Loughlin. Why should anyone follow the advice of a Hollywood celebrity?
I’m not the only one slamming Clooney for his boycott call. Bill Maher did it during his ‘Real Time’ show on HBO. Maher said:
“It’s chickenshit tokenism. What about Saudi Arabia? If you really want to get back to them, stop driving, don’t use oil. This idea that the Sultan of Brunei is going over the receipts from the Polo Lounge ... ‘Oh no, we only sold two soups today.’”
Maher referred to Saudi Arabia because that nation also stones homosexuals to death.
Clooney has also been a loudmouth critic of President Trump.
I certainly do not approve of executing gays, whether by stoning, hanging, beheading or any other means. But Cooney has no standing when he, in effect, condemns the abhorrent, by Western standards, religious practices of any nation.
And that’s why I say those who take the advice of Clooney are loony.

George needs to be more opened minded. I mean...who is he to condemn another culture just because they have different beliefs, ideals, and practices? Who is he to preach morality? He needs to be more tolerant and learn to embrace multiculturalism. Isn't that the liberal way?
(See? I can write liberal stupidspeak gibberish too).
