Angelina Jolie is a Helmet Head

hi rachelsun. austin is a beautiful city. beautiful parks a large lake a very vibrant and alive downtown. i think the jolie pitts will have a wonderful time there. sandra bullock made a film in austin and ended up loving it and bought a house there. i wish women would be more supportive of women doing great things. : )

It is just fake concern for a possible pregnancy and you are right, there are military men there as well as Iraqi citizens who should be in our thoughts and prayers. The thing I like about AJ is she does not take sides in a political war but goes as a UN representative to talk about the plight of the refugees and the human cost of the war. Thanks for the post.

i do believe that the same people who are so concerned about a pregnant woman going to iraq are the same ones who say she isn’t pregnant. doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

This is what i love about Angelina. She create awareness in an unassuming way, simple and we get the message unlike some celebrity who spent million to raise a million. Those glitzy event and dress can cause permenant blindness to those who dont understand the real meaning of charity.

Peace

I’m very impressed with her CNN interview. She was articulate and provided informed and intelligent responses fluently. I almost forgot that she was also a hollywood actress because she sounded like an intelligent NGO. How many more people like us who are desensitised by news reports of refugees have been enlightened once more because of her association with the issues?

Dina #1 your’e right I have 3 family members who are there who want to come home they don’t understand what they are doing there.

Go on with your awesome self Angelina!! What an amazing woman. And thank you JJ for a thread of substance and something meaningful (as opposed to the debacle from yesterday).

I guess by now Angie is safely on her way back home, so the trolls can quit worrying their stupid little heads over that… where is it written that women who are pregnant must remain encased behind glass at home for 9 months??? What G-D century do they think it is anyway?

Think of all the pregnant women who have to LIVE in Baghdad and worry about them, and not about a humanitarian who is there for a day trying to find some workable solutions for the displaced citizens, with all the safety and security she could possibly need. I hope the trip was enlightening and that some good comes of it - BRAVA ANGELINA!

Hi senior - thank you for thinking of me My boyfriend took me to Victoria for some R&R, so I was out of town for a few days. Thought I had better get over here and see what was going on as I heard Angelina was in Baghdad (yay!). How are YOU doing? Hugs to you! Big *hello* to all the fans!

Hello all you wonderful BAMPZS fans! Hope all is well!

coal just literally got off of the phone leaving you a message! Love you!

For those bashing Angie, I dare you. You go and see what is happening there. We sit in warm homes, with food, medical attention and don’t have the fears of being killed because of your “tribe” or religion. While Saddam was not in anyway a leader to be proud of, mass murder that he was, the one thing he did believe in was womens rights! Please do some research, see the rise in “honor” killings, the number of women that have lost property and businesses! It’s frightening. I know Angie is not there only to shine a light on womens issues, but she sure as heck can shine a BRIGHT light where most of the world see’s darkness because it doesn’t matter to them. We as women should applaud her going and bringing the media with her! Many of them would not cover the “human” story if not for her. Soldiers have come back and reported on the everyday persons suffering, we didn’t spend time writing discussing and being appalled! Angie’s visit will lend a human quality to what “the people” are going through. Hopefully it will make the world take notice and find some compassion in their hearts.

how doe this amazing woman stay so unaffected by fame, so down to earth and so real?

i think she has such a beautiful profile. and very elegant table manners.

Damn…she looks so hot, even in a helmet!

Testing

I’m sure I’ll get crap for this but I’m going to say it anyway…IF she really is pregnant…she has NO business being in a war torn country right now…no matter WHAT the reason or plight. If she cares that little about an unborn child, maybe she should rethinkg having another. Having said that, this makes me lean way more towards the side that she is not pregnant…what kind of mother would do that while pregnant assuming it is a wanted pregnancy. If I find out she really is, she’ will lose a lot of respect from me….but I’m going to hold out for an an official announcement or denial.

Be Safe Angie, We are all very Proud of you, Waving at all the JP fans

Sheri my big Sis! So good to see you post Sorry I missed you - phone was in a coat in the hall closet (oops!). Just found and got message. Catch up tomorrow night?

You have some excellent points - whether the haters like it or not, Angelina brings attention to issues and the ‘human’ aspect of it in a manner that no other can. I can’t wait to watch the CNN interview I’m laughing that they tried to sneak in the pregnancy question Love how she handled it.
