I'm not fond of his manipulative manner either, but I would wish no harm on him. He'll get his in the end.

Maybe in your opinion not mine, he may be clever in his methods but the end result is usually just.
@1bonehead
If you read the article it said that it was entirely funded by himself and his exec's not a major movie company. He just wants more popularity so that more people will listen to his messages.
But his opinions (not facts mind you) are biased and quite slanted
Could your opinion be slanted as well?
"But his opinions (not facts mind you)" - Do you know that for sure? Honestly, I don't know either way.
I guess my point is, an opinion is that, an opinion. You have a choice to agree or don't agree or don't care. You post on a website to state your opinion, he uses movies.
Quote:
Actual everything that he has brought up with film & documents has yet to be proved wrong.There not secret to what has happen to this country(U.S.) under the right wing leadership watch the last eight years.Health Care benefits are down right laughable the Current U.S. deficit is about to explode.....He bring light to these issue they don't want you to see
.
while the above statement is 100% true, it is how he lays out the information that is the problem. he has cleverly edited his films and leads you astray from the entire truth to a conclusion that is nor possible if all the facts are shown. he is not the only one guilty of this, as are others diametrically opposed to him are also.
A full disclosure of all the facts has not been shown by M Moore. But this has never been his intention (nor of the groups opposing him) when both sides are viewed, then a clearer picture is obtained, but even then, the full picture is not visible yet.
we the viewing public are the only losers. Only because we have no way of obtaining the whole truth.

Not really, he dislike Republicans & have some issues with Democrats.But it don't take him to see what has clear happen to this country.As a American i don't need to be influence when you look at our country to see there need to be a change.

Does anyone remember the part in Sicko, where Michael Moore loaded up a boatload of people to cruise to Guantanamo Bay to get medical help. Then after that they went to Cuba in the same boat, but all of a sudden the number of people who were on the boat and the number of people who where in Cuba had changed.
What happened to those other people who were on the boat, b/c that wasn't included in the documentary?
Thanks.

Yes I agree we do need change, but into the correct direction. Change for the sake of change is never a good solution.

The democratic vision dosent mean the democratic party in this case it just means democracy. He just wants to address the major problem or low voter turnout. I don't think he really supports any political party he just rallies against whatever bad things the government does republican or democrat.
I'd be very surprised if he even got into party politics in the movie because its about getting more people to vote not getting them to vote a certain way, hes not stupid enough to put himself in a nuce by making essentially a 1.5 hour long democrat ad.

I noticed that too, it could be simply that the people on the boat were anti Cuba or they didn't want to get into crap for going to Cuba. But idk for sure.

As Moore states, he wants to get out the young vote. But here in the US, the young vote is primarily democratic party.
this is in essence a defacto statement of which party Michael Moore is supporting.
You don't need to do hard home work to realize that baseball fans will be found in a baseball stadium (why else would they be there)
So the logic goes. Younger voters in the US are primarily democrats. that is a given. The polls bear this out.
So if Moore is trying to get out the young vote >>>> he supports the democratic party and their ticket.

Cause and effect isn't motive.
So you're saying its right for the bulk of the population to not vote in a democracy?

I'm saying to be fair, Moore should have a film where he urges all members to vote in a democracy equally (and not aimed at one segment only ....which is unilaterally sided)
This is akin to breakfast cereal makes making commercials aimed at kids. To be sure, I doubt that the adult and geratric population will have a high showing for these commercials. Conversely. I doubt many 10< year old would be interested in Ensure products or laxative product commercials as well.
The target audience determines the bias

He's a socialist, and our country is not, and never was, designed to be a democracy.
It is a republic.
Democracies fail.
They fail every time.
Just like communism failed every time it was tried.
That's why both China and Vietnam were forced to adapt to capitalism.
It's why someday, the people of China, Vietnam, Cuba and North Korea will be free again.
Unless we start listening to scum like Michael Moore.

so the doctors that go to school for ten plus years should be a social service? and work for free? how about you work 50 to 60 hours a week for free? or give the money you earn to someone else? its not the taxes payer responsible to pay for everyone else that can't! BTW the Canadians health-care system is a total failure, thats why they come here to get top notch treatment!

Oh lord I see ze trolling..... I'll just repeat what I said on the arstech forums...
Quote:
Ah words to scare and passify the people...you know I want a Liberal on personal issues and rights and a Conservative on public matters like infrastructure and foreign policy.
Sadly what we have had is either liberals who try and enact PC zero thought mind sets into public matters wasting time and money through ineptitude and conservatives who think their personal beliefs are absolute and should be made into law even if it turns people back into 2nd class or worse citizens and the whole give more money to the rich because they might spend it here spew. (you want to give money to the rich? kill the IRS make a flat tax that right there would do everything that can be done to prop up business and bring it back into the US as well as make everyone richer! not just the top X%...)
So you know what?
fck you, you antiquated Conservative hypocrites and fck you, you witless Liberal sheep!
We all should vote 3rd party just to gain some control back from the bureaucracy the rich and powerful have heaped upon us with the shovel they were given by special interest!
------
no overhaul of the tax system
So you would rather have a complicated tax system that un fairly seeks to take 40% or more from the rich/business while making life difficult for the lesser classes though multiple levels of taxation creating more bureaucracy as so it might can give some money back?
By gutting the IRS into you make X amount you pay X amount PERIOD you'd almsot double the tax money made just by gutting the IRS.
Most of us would rather pay 20-30% of what we make and not have to worry about filing taxes as whatever we make the taxes are paid.
This would also remove Federal taxes on just about everything as WE the individual and business pay our fair share of the profit we make.
Also in turn you can make it a national sales tax adding about 30% to everything once you remove the federal tax on it and then thats even less paper work and bureaucracy to fck up due to keeping things simple.
There are no loop holes in a flat tax system you pay what you "earn" the more you earn or make money from the more likely you have to fill out crap but still its better than the BS and chips system we have now.
---------
For the ZOMG! anti socialists....
Oh! and BTW the US has been a socialistic nation since social security was founded only we have not had hard left/hard right mainstream dickary in politics as long as others have had.
Get over yourselfs if you think we are not a Popular Socialistic Republic, look hard at the current election and tell me its not Popular Republic beauty pageant for a republic filled with witless sheeple who enjoy having their rights taken away by the people they elected because its unpatriotic to question!
GOD DAMN THE US AND PASS THE AMMUNITION!!
Oh sorry I said that as a pretense..its already happened.. the damning I mean... since the 2 parties are broken and all I mean :P
(Do apologize for the harshness of my tone, but it should not be to out of line to emphasize my points...whatever they are LOL )
The forefathers did not seek to sternly control influence (particularity business) as business of the time had solid local interests now adays business has little local interest and as a result government has lil local interest, we have lost oversight in government and by losing it we lose the right to govern ourselves...
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/foru...931&f=174096756

in final Moore is not a total loss there is some truth in between the liens but its more zero thought propaganda than anythign else.

Concerning the story michael moore is just letting his video be downloaded for free, why all the rude comments towards him? Musicians do it and people here drop there applauds and say that is the best thing to do for anyone because we hate the drm, prices, crappy songs etc. His views are shown to people that had not thought about his subjects very much. I dont believe any politician will ever do what they say during the campaigns. I would vote for a 3rd party candidate just because they have good views entering the race but there campaigns dont draw enough supporters(business) needed to finish. A straight tax for everyone would be good, a straight health plan would be good. The people this means the most to say screw it and dont even vote. Just my views/opinions every person has freedom of speech.

sssharp your statement about everyone having freedom of speech is a little distorted. i think that the people in the US may have that freedom but taken outside the US how many really have that freedom?
someone said something about a bullet and 1 million dollars, i don't think it would take that much. but killing someone like that isn't the thing to do.
i've got a ways before i'll need retirement pay but health care is a concern that all should have. giving it away FREE from the government isn't the thing to do. it's NOT free if the government does it. who will pay for it? i'm sure the tax-payer will but at what cost? seems as though the poor are all but exempt, the rich have good accountants and the middle class gets to provide for the poor. seems a little wrong to me

So true. I don't know how we ever are going to fix this problem.

I'm inclined to agree here. I certainly wish there was an honest solution. Harsh reality is simple: there is not a simple solution.
what is the solution? who really knows? but i think NOT spending money on things the general public can and should provide for themselves is a starter. that is get a job and pay for stuff on your own, don't expect the government to keep delivering your check to your hand while you sit on the porch

McGreg08, you sound like an old time conservative American, But spot on !!
What you speak about is laziness and greed. The Liberals have created a state of affairs where laziness and greed are the way of the day. Self responsibility is none existent.The entitlement attitude is all the rage. There is little encouragement to work. With a welfare mentality ,motivation to work is nowhere to be found.The liberals have created a society of human leeches sucking the blood of hard working people. If a hard self sufficient worker calls an able bodied welfare recipient "lazy", the hard worker is called mean spirited and cruel. Political Correctness at it's worst.What ever happened to right and wrong?

lol. i think that i said something like that but didn't include tax rates and all. my step-mom makes over 200K normally each year and the government gets 50%! that's crap. she works hard for her pay and it goes to fund crap that we'll never see because we (well she) works harder than any slave did! I guarantee it.
i know who pays but who delivers? yep the government delivery boy!

Although I do NOT agree with Micheal Moore I appload his actions in this endevor.
With his popularity he could make a little cash from this release if he really wanted.
Personally I think he does tell the truth, to a point.
He tells a story and only tells the parts he wants to tell and with holds the parts he doesn't want people to know.
Personally I don't agree with the last 2 presidents. I feel that the issues that are facing us today have been brewing for a long time, not just the last 8 years.
I'm not going to go into the issues (actually I did but deleted it)
Although I don't agree with his tactics, I appould him for letting it be free.

Mikey Moron is giving it away because it was such a flop: 5.6 / 10 at IMDB. Real title is Captain Mike Across America, www.imdb.com/title/tt0850669/
I can't believe there are so many idiots in computer forums who fall for his loony-left propoganda. Even F 9-11 was condemded by responsible journalists everywhere.
