We can be realistic without being unfair.

He’s a piece of shit right winger. He’s also a titan of the 80s when he was the movie star everyone wanted on film.

I don't know how old you are but it seems you're confusing Chuck Norris with Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, Eddie Murphy, Richard Gere or somebody like that. He was in a lot of B-movies in the 80s, I'll give him that.

I don’t know how old you are but you’d know that Chuck Norris and all those others were in similar standing during those times.

You’re applying fame now to fame then.

I love when people online pull the age card like it makes them privy to special knowledge.

Like I said: Chuck was a piece of shit right winger when he died. He was also extremely famous in the 80s.

I'm in my 50s, and I didn't say he wasn't famous. I was saying he wasn't the guy everyone wanted in their movies. He was in a bunch of B-movies. He was famous as a karate guy that made the leap to movies. Crappy movies. And he was a pretty crappy actor as well.

Almost 50 here, and I concur. Chuck Norris was niche even in the 80s compared to true A listers like Stallone, Schwarzenegger or, a bit later, Bruce Willis. As I recall he was like a cut above Jan-Michael Vincent or something.

Lol. Ok, young man.

Was Bruce Lee famous? Who’s this guy he wanted to star in his movie?

Anyway, you’re obviously so old and wise. You can have the last word about Chuck Norris, buddy.

I ain't a man, my man.

But more martial arts stuff? I'm telling you he was niche and you're only reinforcing my point.

I suppose if you’re going to channel being old, stubborn behavior is a good place to start.

EDIT: Shit, you were supposed to have the last word. Sorry. Proceed.

Stubborn about what? Acknowledging reality?
