Michael Moore Wins in Cannes

[shartley]

In fact why don't you all rule the world now while you still know everything.

Oh right .......... i forgot ........ you are trying.

[taylor492]

yeah you guys are right!! Moore is a weirdo and you Americans should be allowed guns and weapons, and nukes and weapons of mass destruction, and all other countries shouldn't. Its unfair to think that life is precious!! Darn gosh it all!! Kill the postman next time he comes near the house! But make sure your twinkies get delivered! Wouldn't want to be thin like those other people from those other terrorist countries.

In fact why don't you all rule the world now while you still know everything.

Oh right .......... i forgot ........ you are trying.

How does protecting our country by ousting terrorists and their supporters fall under world domination.

And you're right I dont want any country that is run by lunatics to have anything more dangerous than a really dull spoon

Oh and while we are on stereotypes, i hereby deem you the angry, mis-informed, euro-punk, who likes to jump on the "hate america" bandwagon.

[Bolter]

News Flash - coulda fooled me. Look ok maybe I didn't mean "take over the entire world" and I understand if I personally attack your country in a post I am bound to get some back, the thing is that years ago, if the English wanted something, we would just go and take it. You guys, YOU GUYS, go arm the country, and then a few years later, you attack them for having weapons. Very sneaky tactics! Which is fine and dandy, but you all deny its going on!!! You are all oblivious to it!!

I'll leave you with a few quotes I found.

and you trust this man? Crazy folks.

[aaron_mag]

My problem with Moore is not that he is in favor of gun control. I own no guns myself.

But his slander and villanization of Heston purely because he believes differently than Moore is wrong. Does using such tactics promote honest two way dialogue or does it just lead to more name calling on both sides?

As with Moore...I only ask the question

[taylor492]

And if YOU are going to try to be C-L-E-V-E-R , learn to spell correctly.

And I would like to know what we are denying.

Denying.....the war in Iraq? NO

Denying......the sale of arms to middle east countries? NO

Denying...........your ignorance? Of course not

The US may have sold weapons to some middle eastern countries, but for necessary reasons at the time.

How were we supposed to know they'd turn around and start using them on innocent people.

And as far as those quotes go,

I couldn't care less about Bush's abilities to stick his foot in his mouth as long as he gets the job done.

nice job trying to sidestep the issue though.

[Bolter]

actually it was Shartley who mis-spelt clever wrong, I just didn't use the quote button correctly. Or more accurately I didn't use the quote button. Corrected it now.

Thats ok. We'll just substitute INEPT for ILLITERATE

[Bolter]

yes and I'll just substitute CAPSLOCK for ANSWERS to make me feel better.

Seriously the English are no better really. I do not agree with what Saddam or Bin Laden has done, let me make that clear, I think it is awful and a human tragedy, but is it any wonder they hate us when we are so two faced?
Here......have some cool weapons.......right you guys are into weapons and you are starting to make your own ones, so have some bomb up your butt. Hang on.....I'll try again cause I shot one of my own. Second time lucky!!

I read something the other day that documented the use of nerve gas (or similar, I forget) on Iraqis civilians for testing purposes, by the British, not so long ago. How screwed up is that? Sorry who are the terrorists again? Pearl Harbour was attacked, fine get revenge. But seriously, nuking two major citys full of civilians is a tad on the wrong side. I think more people were killed by those two bombs than people died in the two most recent wars the US has been involved in. Yes it stopped the Japs taking further action, but it made for a looooong drawn out arms race, and alot of innocents peeling their faces every morning.

I personally believe that we are all as bad as each other, we all, as countries have done some bad bad bad things against our fellow man, we just shouldn't deny the truth.

Anyone else worried about what the future will bring?

[taylor492]

yes and I'll just substitute CAPSLOCK for ANSWERS to make me feel better.

we just shouldn't deny the truth.

Deny what?! You are the one who never answered me!

So far the only one being denied anything is me............by you...............of an answer to my first question.

The inevitable andvancement of technology is to blame for the arms race not the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nice try at blaming that on the US too though.

I do, however, find your use of the racial slur "Japs" ironic.

[aaron_mag]

The arms race would have happened regardless. And horrible things happen in war. That is how you get to the end of the war. No one likes to admit defeat. Sometimes it has to be brought home that it is time for them to 'endure the unendurable'.

And look at their country now...

The real issue is we have thrown out our deterrent strength for a preemptive doctrine. Can you imagine if the US had put all of its resources in Afghanistan? We'd have 150,000 troops there instead of the pitiful force we have now. Osama Bin Laden would probably be captured. And we'd be well on the way to rebuilding Afghanistan properly.

Instead we went off on a tangent against a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 for supposed 'weapons of mass destruction'.

What a load of crock. We really screwed this one up....

Mr Shartley Sir, i pointed clearly to taylor as he tried the pointless "jab at a mis-spell" line, not me sorry.

For the record I am not Anti-America, I just think your government feed you a load of bull poo. I didn't mention the people. I find you the most polite and ambitious of people. And of course your drive in Paintball phenomenal!!

I am pulling out of this thread because I am being cornered and people are starting to have little digs at me personally and not the topic in hand. I think aaron_mag has more of an idea of what I think about this.

Bye.

Enjoy your inability to effect the world.

[Southpaw]

It seems to me Bolter that it is YOUR country that is Expanding not the US. How many countries did the EU try and get to join in the last year?
