ive never seen the movie, since i dont know where to see it or if its even open to public, but i already know that it sucks and i hate it and that the french love it. i heard the mexicans liked this movie too. if thats the case, you know its crap. stupid mexicans.


now that were on the topics of people fabricating factual information, why dont we talk about the uranium that saddam wanted to buy from liberia. i could have sworn that that was a forged document. and that bush said it in his State of the Union Address. and what about all those pictures of WMD factories that Powell showed to the UN? what ever happened to that "solid" evidence?

It is easy.... you just have to read what he wrote in another thread....

ive never been to switzerland. i never plan on going anywhere in europe. what i have done is played with you guys for the past two weeks, trying to piss you off, and it was fun while it lasted, but im getting bored with it.

so lets recap. first we started talking about the sarin gas. then we started talking about the war in general. then bluestrike over there started talking about long distance running? then we started talking about the swiss. then you started talking about unions. its been fun.

Get it now? He is not only an idiot, but one who no longer even holds any credibility in anything he writes.

"That explains so much, that you think the way that you do."

Yes, there are very few people left with genuine insight. To many have been caught up in the "if it hurts anything, it must be bad" mindset. That is incorrect. If it hurts my vision for my future, it's bad. Everything else is completely incidental.

Last Sunday I played paintball at Taag in Coursegold California and we got on this subject. All the kids were trying to tell us how great the "documentry" was and the field owner Marty finally piped in and said that the movie dosent really prove anything. Moore brings up a lot of speculation most of which is false but he can never answer any of the questions he asks. So he asks other people and tries to make them look stupid.

I was listening to NPR a few years ago and Moore was on talking about Bowling for Columbine. He talked about the Heston interview and said that during the interview Heston said "i think a big problem in this country is race, back in the 60s we had so many problems with it"
Those are the words that Moore used to explain what Heston said. Moore then went on to say that "Heston wouldnt let him out of the gate so he handed his tape to one of his coworkers who drove down the hill so that Heston wouldnt take the tape back"

I finally see Bowling for Columbine and discover that Moore just made it all up. He made it sound like Heston was racist when really he was one of the first supports or equality.

I have read two of Moores books and seen most of his stuff. If all you read is his stuff then he can be convincing but once you read all the facts you realize that he is just useing bits and pieces of bullock to support his argument.

I now understand why Nader fired him.

Heston was AMBUSHED. That is totally ungentlemanly and WRONG!!!!

Personally there was alot I liked about Bowling, but that part with Heston really pissed me off. A guy has the decency to invite you into his home and you smear his name in the mud? That is just no class. Also the part about K-mart pissed me off too. They were making that poor lady feel like she was responsible for people getting shot. They did not choose for those people to get shot and they didn't wish for those people to get shot. Perhaps we should make it more difficult for minors to get access to bullets, but ambushing a woman at K-mart is again low class. She is just a worker bee trying to pay the bills....

But I do agree with this statement. It is what many of us said all along (but of course alot of AOers still haven't seen the light):

Many Americans now realize the French are "good friends of America who tried to do the right thing and tell us this was the wrong road," Moore said. "We owe the people of this country an apology for the way they were debased and treated in our media."

That thing with the freedom fries was just so gay....

Welcome to this debate. I have missed your presence. That being said: Bomb France!

Do you guys even know what Bowling For Columbine is about? He made it this way so that when people watch it they ask questions, he didn't answer questions because he wants people to answer them for themselves and build their own opinion on the subject.

Plus since you guys know so much you know that Moore is a member of the NRA right?

Yeah, he just wants you to ask questions and supply the answers for yourselves. That is what most college professors say as well. I did notice, however, that once I figured out to answer the question with the answer they obviously expected my GPA improved dramatically. (Rather than trying to come up with what I thought they wanted, which I thought, in my niavete, was my own independent opinion ).

Michael Moore supplies his chosen questions and his chosen answers. While I agree with him on some points, (and not on others) it doesn't take a genius to see that the argument is biased to one side.....

Please, Moore is at best a political hack and at worst a propogandist for the left.

He has however found a MASSIVE loophole in the McCain/Feingold act.

Funny...I thought he was in the business of selling books and movies.

We're not going to get into the conspiracy hate theory again are we? The "there are those who hate America and what it stands for. Some, of course, are its very citizens. They hate America. They hate the fact that we allow freedoms like allowing dissenting opinions. And they choose to show the hatred of these American values by DARING to exercise these freedoms we hold near and dear (but for those of us that are patriotic, silently) to our heart."
