Re:: michael moore cant handle his own medicine

[quote=CHiEF_N]Okay, so by this mentality, you think that even if it means you'll have to harm others to make your money it's alright? :?[/quote]

I don't make my money by harming others, i'm in medical field, i actually help people. :EatMe:

Healthcare reform, may or may not cuase serious problems for my company, depends on what gets reformed exactly. Republicans couldn't give a piss about free healthcare, and i applaud that on many levels.

Take that money and reform the middle east instead. Iraq, Afghanistan...whatever...step one.

I'm failing to see your logic in that we're making money of the misfortune of others in this Iraq war...this war is costing us out the ass! Me, Johnny Taxpayer...when i personally will gain nothing from the war itself. Those people are better off without Saddam, no matter how you try and slice it, and i paid for that to happen. Money well spent imo.

Ah, so the "far-left" are the thought police. ;) Still doesn't make me feel better about the original article, and doesn't fix my concerns about the book.

I should have been more clear. The discourse on this board has been (thankfully) fairly informative, straight-facts, and on-the-money. At least for the most party - when people aren't wishing death upon Moore. ;) But that is light years from the trash that gets published in the media - on both sides. However, that goes to my overall beef with the media which is a whole different topic. :?

Also referring to criticism of Moore in general (the subject of the book and article), not just this movie.

FWIW, I saw the movie last night - it's definitely entertaining (Moore is great at that), but there was really nothing shocking or damning in it, and there were so many points where it was obviously a spin and clever editing/selection. He took a bunch of "no-duh" points and blew them way out of proportion - my lord, there are business interests playing in the government?!?!?!?!??!?!?!? OH MY GOD! Who wudda thunk it?! Corruption as usual - sucks, but not shocking.

But aside from the "un-censored" military record of Bush that Moore obtained in 2001 (which lead to conclusions which are well-documented elsewhere), there really just wasn't anything that people couldn't go out and find for themselves.

Didn't piss me off, didn't inspire me. It left about as lasting of an impression on me as the first Spiderman movie that I watched the night before. Probably even less so due to the constant attention to Kirsten Dunst's rack in Spiderman. :Tongue:
