It's not a documentary! I don't know why people think it is. Startup.com, Hoop Dreams= Documentaries. Michael Moore is not a documentarian, he is not even a journalist. Stop looking for people to tell you what to think and do, like they know better than you what's best for you personally. I think Moore is an asshole. He's making fame and millions on books and movies that overly protray America in a bad light. he bitches, gets rich and does nothing about it the real problems anyway. My opinion=he can go fuck himself and he's not getting any of my money.

jesus dude. I'm not arguing about anything.
Let me just break this down for u:
You said "I think everything is biased, you just gotta trust your instinct" - you were talking about the information you receive from the media. Implying that u shud instinctively know what is true and what is a lie.
I then said, that was very stupid - trusting something like instinct to tell the truth from the lie. You then implied that if you do not trust your instinct you will allow the office of homeland secrity to run ur lives (which is really stupid in itself).
I replied, that on issues such as what is truth and what is a lie, it is better to use reasoning. An act that comes BEFORE you accept what u're being told. i.e "hmmm, he says Bush is a liar, i will not trust my instinct on this, i will use reasoning to (which can involve analysis and is a thorough process) make up my mind instead of some weird gut feeling.
You then said that "reasoning FROM mis-informed mind is a dangerous thing". That's a word game you are playing. Because i implied that reasoning happens PRIOR to being informed; but u switched it around to imply that i was implying reasoning AFTER an "informed mind". In which case i could easily say that "using instinct from a mis-informed mind is a dangerous thing". Which, in this case, is even more true.
You see now?

So MM portrays America in a bad light with his books and movies? Why? Because he disagrees with the Bush admin? He exposes corporate corruption and pollution? Shows the struggle of working class people being shafted by the system? Answer honestly -
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ONE OF HIS MOVIES OR READ ONE OF HIS BOOKS?
This being the internet, I know you will tell the truth :)

k0na_an0k: You may :-) I do the same with Bush, well there are reasons but I'd hate him anyways too.

I took a class in college on social democracy, and we read Adventures in Television America and Downsize this and watched Roger and Me.
I actually believed his line of thinking until I took a class call Culture Wars. What I thought would be a simiallr look into America's struggles, was actually a fascinating look at the root cause of almost all of our contry's trouble, the family in America. You'd be surprised what percentage of those in jail come from broken homes and families.

I'll bet most who "hate" MM have never seen one of his movies or read his books. I was watching the trailer the other day and my wife's brother was here - "I hate that fat fucker!' I asked why and was told he hates america etc. He had never read/heard/watched anything the guy has ever done! After I called him on it he agreed it was unfair and will be going with me to see F-9/11 on the 25th. Then he can make up his fucking mind. Make the 25th "Take someone who hates Michael Moore for no real reason" day

Let's not use the word "hate" it leads to things like war, the one in Iraq if you forgot.
