mmmm....propaganda. Just to let you guys know if you think Moore bends the truth you've obviously never heard the director of the DEA speek. I was watching CNN and he was saying that there is 200% as many people in rehab for marijuana as coke, which is only the truth because it's people who get busted for possesion get FORCED into rehab by the law, he also said that marijuana was the most addictive drug, last time I checked marijuana had no physicaly addicting chemicals.

when does that movie come out
i wanna get a copy


and everyone talks about how this movie is all antigun and just like propaganda to get people to think america is all unsafe. well no offense but its true, and that movie was a huge eye opener.

if you dont see that your stupid. i dont think people quite get that some movies tell alot of truth, and others are just pure bullshit and disinformation (ex. sum of all fears) The main plot being if you drop a nuclear bomb on a country that will be that and there will be no after effects. yea ok?

I don't get why someone would want to kick the shit out of him either. I don't want to kick the shit out of charleton heston or anyone affiliated with the NRA, or Enron, or any other things that are the cause of northamericas decay, yet someone that opposes it probably has to fear for his life.

sure.... your second amendment rights are in trouble, but people get caught up in the 'I have a right!' attitude, he's not trying to take away your rights, I think he's trying to say that the right you have to bear arms is useless, he knows that the 2nd Am. won't be torn apart any time soon, but he knows that some moral middle ground can be reached, There is no such thing as complete freedom of speech (like slander) so why should their be such freedom in weapons, after all words never killed anybody.

seriously

people are all pissed at home because he has the balls to point out a serious flaw in american society.

for example i could be as ugly as shit, but chances are if someone calls me ugly to my face im gonna be mighty pissed. even if its as true as can be.

see what im saying?

americans are pissed at moore cause he made them look like idiots, and that wasnt his intention. he was merily pointing out a situation that obviously needs attention.

he could of made a movie about how china has a one child policy and often kills young babies (another issue that needs attention) and obviously china would be pissed.

You gotta admitt, America just plain sucks... And the fact that Bush is president and he actually handed over controll of the country to FEMA is the worst part. Technically we should be called the socialist (or communist depending on how you look at it) republic of america...

I'm sorry but the democratic liberals are the actual ones whose politics are borderline communism. I'm not arguing about the film, I actually haven't seen it because I'm on a full boycott of anything michael moore, this in in lieu of the comments he made in the past year...that is why I direct aggression and hatred toward him.

On the issue of gun control...it is completely innaffective no matter what way you look at it. 97% ( or close to that figure) of gun related killings in this country are caused by weapons bought illegally, i.e. the black market, or theft. The others are obtained either through gun laws that are in place but improperly enforced, or by others who did get their guns legally and just for some reason used them on a person.

Its time people stop blaming the national government for their own fucking problems. George Bush can do every thing right and still some psychopath is gonna kill some. We live in a world were, whether you want to face the facts or not, shit is going to happen; and it can only very rarely be stopped. So deal with it.

BTW, Prince is extremely conservative, like myself.

Yeah, so if you knew anything about FEMA you would understand that comment.

FEMA (Federal Emergency Managment Agency) is a branch of the government that when activated instantly takes into effect several executive orders, starting with Nixon (I think he was the one to make it it's own organization). In short, the government now owns all properties and goods, all rights to CERTAIN products, has control over all trade/ports/airports, and has the ability to organize the entire population into 'work groups' under the government's supervision, etc.. There're a few really good books and articles on it if you'd like to find out more about it, but unfurtunately I don't have any links cause it's late at night and I'm tired...

So basically you just made yourself look more like a dumbass by attempting to make me look like one...

I don;t have the energy to argue. all I am gonna say now is that I just saw it and I thought it was really good, although I already knew about 1/2 the facts, it was still nice to see that they were out there. I might argue later. oh and here is a good article that Marylin Manson wrote. and yes it is actually very intelligent and stuff (not what I would have expected at all) anyway here it is

I'm pretty sure that communism is when the government owns all property and controls the overall flow of money throughout the population. I do admitt that because not everybody is 'equal' in the sense that you pick your own jobs and can change jobs whenever you'd like without government consent, it isn't communist. But anybody who is into this shit (I don't know why you would be...) should read up on it cause it's interesting

so what, I think you'll find that any educated person will tell you the idea of communism is perfect, yet it doesn't work because of human greed/desires. So by labelling the liberals, borderline communists, you're trying to insult them, I hardly see it as one. Your posts in the past and the fact THAT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE, yet feel so strongly towards michael moore and this movie, really proves how closeminded you are, you stick him with a label, like you do drug users and political figures, and you don't bother to open your mind to the posibblity that the label you've given might be wrong to any degree.

And while you pull out a statistic like 97% of gun deaths are by illegall firearms, ok, how many of those are assult rifles, guns that are of no use to hunters and are not for conventional protection? how many of the 97% (a figure I know you pulled out of your ass, but I'll tear it up anyways) have gotten/stolen the gun from a family memeber who left it without a lock? (which would be obtaining it illegally) And how many of those gun users grew up in a society that made them feel the need to go and get that gun? all of them those are the issues he's tackling, it's not moore blaming the government, but then again you wouldn't know that, you didn't watch it. how about you stop talking about subjects you know nothing about, bowling for columbine, drugs and oddly enough, refuse to learn more about.

I'm not sure if this was mentioned because I didn't read the posts, but when watching a movie such as this you can't go into it believing that you are seeing the truth. There is a certain amount of it that is just M.M. just spitting out his mildly liberal (joke fuckers) propaganda just so suckers such as some here I'm sure would see it and all of a sudden be a newfound libby. Just take it with a grain of salt, as not all of it is exactly truth.

Haha, if you watch this and think it is all serious than you're just a dumbass...

I just like to keep an open mind and so stuff like this helps me to understand just another's point of view. That's how I learn.

And just for the record, I can garantee you that more than half of this movie is false or mis-leading, but I can also garantee you and that that information is just another excuse for somebody to do something coughthe governmentachemm

I shouldn't need to list it because it is really obvious! The guy just walks around and talks to people! Sure, the facts are all true, and sure everything said in the movie does have some purpose, but even if it's not true what you do think is true probably isn't anyway...

Anybody get what I'm trying to say? Or am I just being my confused old self?
probably the later of the two...

I know, I don't know how to explain it to people...

It's like he is just speaking his opinion just like everybody else, and just because he made a movie about it doens't mean that his opinion is better than anybody else's

That's what I'm saying, the facts are true, but what everybody sees is him talking about it using his own thoughts and views on the subject. So like of course it's going to be biased. I don't mean to say that there are no facts there, just that what links the facts may not be the most accurate way of looking at things...

facts/stats don't = truth, that's what he's talking about you have to interpret them completely before they can give you an answer.

And peoples opinions don't represent the whole, he's not going to show the 10 other people he interviewed to get that one response that fits the theme of the movie.
