Having read and seen everything Moore has done I can honestly say that he's brilliant. Period. I only wish Stupid White Men came out after 9/11 and this "war on terrorism", That definately would have made for a very good and interesting read.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

so that was michael moore at the oscars? :roll:

to say that the majority disapprove this war, when later on that night the polls on the news said 70% were in favor. that tells me something.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

I have a question for all you people who reply with things like "you don't know what you're talking about so shut your mouth" when someone raises a point. If you guys are so smart, why don't you share the wealth? It's really pointless to discuss political matters if you're just going to tell someone that they're stupid if you disagree with them. You're not convincing anyone to agree with you by insulting them.

he may of changed small details, and im not saying i agree with that, but in order to get a message across, you have to show things from your point of view. all media are fabrications, including documentrys. every time you watch one you have to remember it was edited to make it look the way the film maker wanted it to be. in order for a documentry to present the whole truth, they would just have to keep the camera running continually and not edit at all.

doug, did you agree with any of the messages in bowling for columbine?
