Well, i'm in a split decision to whether or not Arnold Schwarzenegger is a good guy. I mean, as a guy, he's pretty amazing. He's tough, looks badass and has made (or at least did i'm not sure on specifics) California one of the most well off economical places. Plus, then you get the whole "If anyone who isn't American can become the American president, It's Schwarzenegger." which is becoming more and more true with him trying to throw money at researchers trying to prove Barack Obama isn't specifically American so he can use the loop whole to apply.

Then you get the otherside.

He's absolutely mental on attacking video games, and although i'm a proud Brit and it has no effect on me, i feel sorry for some parts of the states who are being heavily censored from good games. He's an absolute douche for doing this, but still he's such a badass i'm sure he could persuade me to his side.

and if not he'd probably kill me...

He's a politician! Of course he's going to ragg on video games.
Part of being a politician is talking nonsense about things you know nothing about.
I love Arnold because he just sound so weird when he delivers one-liners.
He's like an alien on fire, which is exciting because fire is VERY exciting.

lolwat!? California has became a dump when he was governor. Not that he gets all of the blame for it, but California is hardly economically well off.

OT: I disagree with many of his political ideals, but I can't say he's a bad guy. Even his stance on video games doesn't make him "bad."

Politics aside, he's awesome. I love his cheesy acting, I love the way he speaks, I love everything about him. He's like a walking, breathing stereotype.

From where I stand, his having acted in so many memorable movies (some freakin' amazing, some bad, but in a hilarious way) makes him a good guy.

From his part in the SCOTUS case, I still don't think Ahnold's a bad guy, it seems like he just signed the bill and its the media watch dogs that want to push it through.

I find it hard to believe the man who starred in Terminator and Predator has a problem with violence.

No it's true. The economy output of california standing alone was like 3rd best in the world at some point. I'm not giving specific dates or tieing down to that number but it was somewhere around that.

[sub]Fuck, you guys took the easy quotes.[/sub]

You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done.

[sub]Thanks, IMDB![/sub]

That was at the beginning of his term, now we have an %17.5 unemployment rate in my area alone. Thanks arny!

I think Cali had the 6th highest GDP in the world at one point, not so much anymore. And it has an unemployment rate of 12.5%.

Scde2 - this rate is caused by amount of rich people who don't need a job, and live in a warm, sunny state.

I used to like Schwarz, but this idiotic law of his made me lose all respect about this man.

lolwut? let me paint a picture for you. America is one of the largest markets for anything, including (if not especially) games. If this thing gets passed, you can count that it will lead to changes in the industry and the way games are made. And not to mention that this is giving precedent that games are not protected by the first amendment, which can lead to all sorts of regulations down the road.

To answer your question? He's a hilariously bad actor who is only capable playing the same role over and over again, but the same can be said for Robert Downey Jr., and like RDJ, I kinda like that one character. As a politician he can go get fucked by a barbed penis.
