anyone buying this?

What are you talking about?

It's that book by Michael Moore right?

OMG how many more people are gonna bring up Michael Moore in this forum. We have almost all agreed that the guy is a lunatic. Lets not give him any more publicity than he already has.

When did we agree that he was a lunatic? I never heard of this.

I think he felt that Moore was an idiot and therefore we all must think the same...

yeah, seeing as how none of his detractors have actually read either of his books, they have a hard time disproving any of the books sources. As for bowling, get over it, no one is talking about it in this forum

What!? I missed out on discussions about Michael Moore and "Bowling"???


I, for one, have my copy of "Dude, Where's My Country" on its way.........

one link to the bowling discussion for those of us who would like to review.

i think there were others, as well.

Wow, very intriguing........I was hoping to read stuff where people were saying that Moore is insane.

After watching "Bowling", I realize even more how rediculous this country can be. My fiance and I want to move to Canada.

Hearing about the murder rate in freakin Sarnia only made me realize. It's pretty crazy when people in Sarnia say "ummm.....I remember a murder like 15-20 years ago". And then there's Minneapolis, where there is a murder every 3 days.

i hate michael moore... he's being brought up on charges by the guys brother who blew up the oklahoma city bomb thing.

I would like to see a comparison done to see what the ratio is between the 2 countries. Canada has a much smaller population obviously. These numbers aren't representative of the truth. There are obviously many other factors as well. Anyone wanna look up that kinda data to get a better idea of how different it really is?

Canada has 0.02 murders per 1000 people, the US has 0.05 per 1000 people.

In 2001 Newfoundland had 1 murder.
that was it.

I haven't gotten the stats for 2002 though.

Canada has 0.02 murders per 1000 people, the US has 0.05 per 1000 people.

That about what I thought. So if you want to move to Canada for 0.03 murders per 1000 be my guest. There are PLENTY of advantages to the US over Canada that I would take over a measly difference in the murder rate anyday.

That's a 2% chance of being murdered as opposed to 5%. In terms of numbers of people, that is a lot.

^ agreed. I used to live in Florida... I feel so much safer in Canada than I do in any part of the U.S.

I want to move to Canada but i never got around to seriously looking into colleges up there...

Now that we've completely ruined the point of this thread....I'm curious, do you guys lock your doors when you're home? I wonder if its really true that more americans do then canadians.

Shit, I can tell you I can't leave my house unless I know all my doors and windows are locked. But then again, I live in the outskirts of Detroit too.
