He's suggested trying British-style gun amnesty in the US. It worked for you guys, and that's all well and good, but suggesting something like that in America isn't right, it's delusional.

Piers Morgan is unbelievably belligerent. I don't agree with everything Pratt had to say but Piers Morgan was incredibly disrespectful, while Pratt was pretty civil throughout the whole discussion. And this is supposed to be better than Fox News? Totally unprofessional.

Props to Mr. Pratt for not sinking to Pier's level. I do find it highly amusing that he immediately switched to name calling when he ran out of counter arguments. Is CNN an elementary school playground now?

Where do I sign up to keep him out of Britain?

Does that video really represent his current shtick over there, a gak and irritating sub Paxman routine? I thought he was just a 'talent' show judge.

Can I call upon the 'special relationship' we have for you guys to keep him or quietly lose him somewhere? Either or, I'm not fussy.

Pratt was indeed a prat.

He was glib and patronizing and I'm not surprised he got a roasting. Morgan milked it for all it was worth and remains a snide turd but all those little jabs about 'merry olde england', yeah, merry old england with lots more people safely in nursery and cinemas dill weed.

Sadly, yes, that's pretty much what he does over here.

Its ok. Per his ratings only about three people watch him anyway.

It's Infowars. Trivial details like "facts" don't matter.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

All this talk of 'attacking' the constitution just gives me an ironic image in my head of Piers Morgan rushing into the National Archives with an assault rifle.

Yes we like our guns more than foreign devils who come to our country, take our money, and then tell us how stupid we are. I vote deport him just because he's a scurrilous dog unfit to kiss Tbone's toe nail. But thats pretty much every "journalist."

I like this new system of polls for inane subjects. I think we should start a petition to make TBone the Wiener Dog Master of America.
