Okay, so did anyone actually read what she said? She compared the dehumanization of cyber bullying to that of the dehumanization of war. That's it.
Now, people are coming out of the woodwork saying things like, "she knows what its like to be a war veteran", "she's a joke", "she should go out on patrol with soldiers to see what its really like", etc.
People are reading way to much into some of these kinds of comments. Or, worse yet, they are just reading the headline the media wants you to see and don't actually read the full quote.
At what point is it too much? Americans had a much better sense of humor, didn't rile so easily, and didn't jump onto hate bandwagons so much in the past. Don't believe me? Watch some Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts...

First, who cares what Gwyneth Paltrow has to say? Second, who cares what Gwyneth Paltrow has to say? As an actress, she played a soldier, cyber bully and victim, so she is an expet. Anyone listening to, or carrying about what she, or any actor, has to say about anything...other than acting...is an idiot and deserves what they get.

unfortunately a lot of people care what actors/actresses have to say. Its sad that our populace puts so much emphasis on what celebrities think, say or do.

Sir,
You are correct. It makes people celebrities because they are on TV and then thinks because they are a celebrity, their opinion is more important than anyone else? It would be the same as someone asking you about acting because you are in the military and actors love to play roles about soldiers? Actually, that is not a really good example because you might actually not be a spoiled brat with no real life experience, but you get the idea.

Agree completely. So absurd not worth a second thought. She is not posturing about her war experience. She is using obvious hyperbole to support her emotional cause.

I dont mind when an actor has an opinion... but I hate when they try and spread their opinion on things like politics. I also hate when I love an actress or think and actor is awesome and then they give a stupid opinion or rant and I suddenly cant stand them anymore... ruins a movie for me. anyway... on topic... I am not worried about what she said. I dont fully get it anyway... I will have to look up the big words. LoL

I respect her brains. They looked pretty good in those denim short shorts in "The Avengers"
