Indeed, I'd probably prefer America's Army over Limbaugh as well. At least because AA is one of the few games running on Linux that look interesting.

DD, I think that you should go see this movie. I don't expect it to change your opinions or your stances, but I think that you would come away with a better understanding of what Moore was trying to do. He is the voice of dissent, something that has been missing from mainstream America for 3 1/2 years. The simple fact that he's using one of the most popular mediums to attack a sitting president should be interesting enough to warrant a viewing.

That, plus you'll have a better capable argument after actually viewing something you're arguing against

Well, once again, it's quite clear who the brain-dead peons are. I don't know why I hold out hope that people will "see the light".

And accusations of propaganda are pure bullshit. People are ignorant and refuse to accept the reality of this war and the corrupt junta of criminals that occupies the White House.

Suffering from ads?

Honestly Sava, calling people "brain dead" does absolutely nothing to advance the debate.

It only reflects poorly on you, and thus it reflects poorly on Moore, his film, and those of us who support him and/or his film (to varying extents). So will you kindly stuff it?

It's clear some people will never change their mind. My remarks are aimed at those close minded individuals. If someone has an open mind and is willing to look at the facts objectively, then my remarks don't apply to said persons.

So you stuff it. I got my opinions and I'm not going to blow sunshine up people's asses.

Why's that Sava, because I'm not prostrating myself over an opiniated movie made by someone who has no qualms about depicting a lopsided account of the past 4 years?

Someone who withheld prison footage months before anyone knew there was a problem?

Someone who goes on the MTV music awards, right in the spot for the LOTR Peter Jackson award, and says to all the 13 year olds "Hey kids, come see my movie, it's great!".

Michael Moore is not a documentarian he is a film maker who wants to sell tickets. Propaganda is the correct word for it.

Oh, and watch where you step. You've been frothing for awhile now and the carpets getting a bit wet.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

It's hard for Moore to make propaganda, since he isn't in power, last time I checked.


I will see the movie tonight. As I said in another thread, all the right-wing attacks on Moore will fasll flat, simply becuase the only people they will conivnce are those predisposed to not seeing the movie anyway. If anyone is preaching to the choir, its the opponents of Moore. I asked ealier, if anyone who was willing to see the movie was turned back by the criticism- as of yet I have not seen anyone say so. So who cares if people who were never willing to see the movie in the firt place won;t see the movie? It does not matter.

IN the world, either you are drivng the agenda, or you are reacting to it. Right now, in this debate, Moore is in the driving seat cause all the attackers are doing is reacting. And I would bet many of them have not seen the movie yet- and are attacking Moore simply for being Moore and the subject matter.

You never debate with anyone. You just snipe and complain because that seems to be all you are capable of. I'd like to say it was different, but it's not.

Have you seen it yet? Moore isn't using 911 for his own benefit. 911 is what this movie is about.

The butchered "conversation" is from speeches and is very obviously pieced together to make a comical point, not to try and make Bush say something he didn't say.
