I suppose itdoesnt matter to point out how much better off the country would be had we paid Mr Moore a little more attention


If he was more truthful and less deceptive maybe people would pay more attention, but I am sure giving pros and cons isn't enough to get people to join his cause so he has to focus on only pros and lie and deceive to make more pros


hey..your supposed to be talking about Moore, not FOX news....

the guy is a complete asshole.I think he was beaten up alot in school and the only way he can feel better about himself is to bring others down.
At least he gets some attention now,hope he feels good about himself cause the rest of us true Americans hate him,,,,,mad

The world would be a better place if "true Americans" didn't hate, but I digress... The thing about Moore and FauxNews for that matter is they have an agenda. His films are thought provoking and brilliantly made, but they are just his perspective.

I don't think being critical of things like some gun issues, the lying that occurred before Iraq and the inequity in our health care system means someone "hates his country." Dissent is mandatory in a Democracy.

Well he is critical..I just dont understand why he cant show something positive for once instead of always attacking.

I suppose the fact that he can be critical of polices is a posative for our country after all its still legal to have a opinion.

It is also legal to laugh hysterically at the silliness of someone's opinion.
It is also legal to tell someone they are a blithering moron.
It is also legal to not take a shower, not shave, not brush your teeth, and to wear clothes out of the laundry hamper that the cat has slept on for days. (See Michael Moore) :wink:
It is also legal to run through the aisles of Kohl's department store during their shoe sale. Er, maybe not. Okay, not.bigsmile

I suppose we all have our opinions of him but I find him to be more on target than off. Its not like he has some kind of corperate agenda like most of the talking heads over at fox news, I think he realy is looking out for simple folk and what is realy best of the majority of us

Yeah, he doesn't do it for the money. laugh laugh laugh noway

He does have an agenda, its just not corporate.
Did you see fahrenhype 911?
I have seen fahrenheight and fahrenhype (sicko and bowling for Co as well)

There are the exact people from Fahrenheight 911 in fahrenhype saying how their showing in the film was edited, taken out of context, and sometimes put on the show w/o permission implying the exact opposite of what they believe. There are also articles discussed that were in the movie that are not even factual though Moore claims they are.

Even if some of his idea may be good and some may even be well founded, there are those that are not and he goes about things in a dishonest manner.

Actually, we have some of the best healthcare in the world, just not everyone can afford it. I don't want crappier health care just so the government will pay for everything. I would rather just pay my premiums fairly cheap for what I get.

Democracy? We are a Representative Republic. Who told you we were a Democracy? Those in the majority would wish it to be so but the minority would be screwed.

You claim to be an anarchist and you are complaining? You should be throwing a party!

There is no such thing as an anarchist...at least not that I've found in this country.

.Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men's reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of 'the rat race' is not yet final."

I thought he died trying to blow up Team America's headquarters and he almost destroyed I.N.T.E.L.L.E.G.E.N.C.E.

The guy is definitely NOT an idiot like some of you say. Whether you like him or not, he does what he does extremely well.
