I thought I would create a thread devoted to this, because it has been on my mind for quite some time. The fact that Moore blatantly lies and fools the viewer to be swayed by his viewpoint. This liberal, like most liberals, is a total fool. What's funny is that Moore trys to sell Bowling for Columbine as a documentary when it is clearly a MOCKUMENTARY!

Any opinions or thoughts on this debate?

(and yes I do know, another thread has discussions about this, but I want this thread to be devoted to this arguement)

Should people just be quiet and accept the world the way it is?

Indeed, it was sinful of him to stain that sacred institution.... with... "opinions."

me too, specially because the oscars are such a special occasion, and so sacred, and because the oscars ARE NOT just a tv show made by hollywood to congratulate themselves and their big movies and manipulate everything to give the awards to people with the biggest commercial success...he should be crucified

P and Slobh are right, criticizing Michael Moore means you endorse murder and hate poor people.


I agree with you cowgoesmoo
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Criticizing Michael Moore (or anyone else) for "disrupting" the Oscars is like your mean little boss coming into the break room at your office as you're heatedly discussing the editorial page with a co-worker and saying, "That conversation has no place here! Stop being disruptive!" It's not Moore's fault there's no camera in your break room. If you have a problem with what you feel are wrong opinions being broadcast around, then make your own documentary/write your own book/create your own TV show. That's how Michael Moore felt, and that's what he did. I'm not a huge fan of his by any means, but I do feel he's unfairly singled out because of the stripe of his opinions, not just because of the way he expresses them.

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Do you have guns at home?
Or at least plan to?
I think there is no point in that. What do you think?
