        Sadly true. Although many people are offended by nudity, many more are appalled at seeing the naked truth.

          If they really knew the truth about how things are run and the level of corruption, those in charge would probably flee to other countries out of fear.

        True.. its more about if your in favour with the tech overlords and the tribe they pander to.

    • +1

      I think it's about the same - totally fake. The difference is people are more sceptical of the propaganda the uni-party media arm is putting out. Pelosi has admitted they knew the WMD claims were unsubstantiated.

        Everyone did, they just needed the smallest reason to invade

        • +7

          They already had a reason - they're warhawk sociopaths who enrich themselves via the military industrial complex and 'nation building'. They needed an excuse to give the public, so they fabricated one.

      They have always been shitholes.

        Frankly the issues won't be resolved until we all graduate from religious to rational ethics. But criticising religion is still a huge taboo and changing foreign cultures amounts to genocide.

        • -3

          "rational" ethics? Do tell.

        Always is a bit of a stretch. The civilizations of Mesopotamia probably wouldn't have been defined as shitholes in their day. Invented the wheel, agriculture and written language. It is known as the cradle of civilization for a reason.

        Sure it's mess now, but that's largely thanks to the British and French partitioning the region following their victory over the Ottoman Empire after World War One.

        • +1

          It is known as the cradle of civilization for a reason.

          Because it's where humans first developed civilisation. Unfortunately for them though, they never got out of nappies.

            @1st-Amendment: You’re actually so deluded it’s funny. Have u ever even looked into the history of the world. There are so many empires and civilisations from that area of the world which encompasses most of world history. One of the founders of modern maths came up with Algebra during the Islamic Golden Age, but you’ll never hear about him in modern pop culture compared to the Einstein’s and Hawkings for a reason. The House of Wisdom of Baghdad was known to hold most of the worlds writings at one point. The Silk Road was also the worlds ever first major trading route that spread exhanges of knowledge and culture throughout the world. As a matter of fact, pretty much every Middle Eastern country was thriving, and would right now still probably be thriving if not for the Cold War and how that affected the whole world. I can tell by that one sentence you wrote you know nothing about actual history that wasn’t subconsciously spread to u by modern media. Ask any decent historian about the impact of that region and you will get overwhelmed.

            • @kmlali99:

              You’re actually so deluded it’s funny.

              You are free to go live in one of these fantastic place if you wish. I assume by the fact that you live here is because you also agree that here is better than there. So who is deluded?

              I can tell by that one sentence you wrote you know nothing

                Wow, I can't not to laugh. They are talking about one thing and you are talking about something entirely different. They are talking about history and you are talking about living there now.

                When someone doesn't even comprehend what is written.

                  We are talking about the same thing, you just have to think about it a bit harder.

                    Yes, the irony is still there. They are talking about history, like what happened. You are talking about, hey, why don't you go and live there. Two completely unrelated things.

                    • @bargainparker: Only if you didn't understand it. But sure, keep going and see how that works out lol…

                        @1st-Amendment: Don't have to. The world is falling apart. I can see how that's going to work out. And you can keep talking about going living there.

                        If you missed the point, history is the study of past events, particularly in human affairs.

                        You are talking about living there which has nothing to do with history and the study of past events, particularly in human affairs.

So I talk about their rich history and how they have definitely not always been shitholes. And then he replies by relating to its current state completely ignoring his own initial comment lmao. And then he either completely misunderstands or acts oblivious to your replies, both equally ignorant

        Don't need to be an expert to recognise bullshitter politicians.

        Some of them even pronounced the death of 500,000 children was a price worth paying.
        Seems the only "weapons of mass destruction" to be found were the allied troops (who were following orders indirectly from the likes of Dick Cheney).

          And the gas bombs that Iraq rained on Iran? They weren't WMDs?

            • +1

              @alidli: And I was replying to your false assertion that Iraq didn't have WMDs. They had them, and they used them. The use of them was widely reported around the world, with footage, in the war with Iran but because Iraq shipped them to Syria and Jordan before the allies got there, the loony left press pretended that there were never any, and the loony left masses unquestioningly believe anything that confirms their biases. Try to keep up.

              • +1

                @Wardaddy: Where have I stated that Iraq didn't have WMD's, of course they did; I said the allied troops were the only ones that were actually "found" in the country?

                The lie was that Saddam had a chemical/ nuclear weapon program to potentially strike the ME/ Europe and was an imminent threat, and that he had links to Al-Qaida.

                Is that kept-up enough for you?

                • @alidli:

                  Seems the only "weapons of mass destruction" to be found were the allied troops

                  The lie was that Saddam had a chemical/ nuclear weapon program

                  You're very confused. Have you heard of cognitive dissonance? Look it up and then re-read what you've said.

                  Your welcome.

                  • +1

                    @Wardaddy: I took on board your reply and re-read my confused ramblings several times, but couldn't find any words where I'd falsely asserted that Iraq didn't have WMDs or that I'd disputed "They had them, and they used them"

                    It is out of my hands as to as to how you interpret or read non-existent inferences into my sentences, or basically accuse me of lying; and sorry to disappoint but I'm also not a member of the "loony left masses" which maybe you assumed and I certainly don't "unquestioningly believe anything"

                    It's good that you reminded everyone of the butcher Saddam was and the war crimes he committed, but please read my initial sentence again as it is referring to the invasion/ period the allies where in Iraq.

                    1)

                    Seems the only "weapons of mass destruction" to be found were the allied troops
                    (quoting you)
                    "Iraq shipped them (the wmd's) to Syria and Jordan before the allies got there"

                    Therefore, as you say yourself, at the time the allies arrived Saddam had no wmd's in Iraq, so it's correct to say the allied troops were the only ones to be found causing mass destruction in Iraq at the time the allies were there.

                    2)

                    Where have I stated that Iraq didn't have WMD's, of course they did
                    (again quoting you)
                    "Iraq shipped them to Syria and Jordan before the allies got there"

                    I agreed with you that of course Iraq had wmd's, but as you pointed out they had left Iraq so again it's correct say the allied troops were the only ones to be found causing or capable of mass destruction in Iraq at the time the allies were there.

                    3)

                    The lie was that Saddam had a chemical/ nuclear weapon program
                    the missing part of sentence you conveniently omitted
                    and was an imminent threat, and that he had links to Al-Qaida.

                    The lie part was referring to it being a lie that Saddam was an imminent threat and also a lie that he had links to Al-Qaida, not that it was a lie Saddam had a chemical/ nuclear weapon program.
                    The whole invasion of Iraq and mass slaughter there was carried out on the basis of these two lies.

        What do you want to know, champ

  • +2

    Moore's(less!) personal attack on Charlton Heston was disgraceful, he is a media whore

    • +36

      Charlton Heston was a lowlife scumbag. Good riddance!

      • Yep gotta agree with you on that…

    • +4

      I honestly appreciated Moore's guns documentary (Bowling for Columbine) better than Farenheit 9/11.
      And Heston was a total low life P.O.S., as other pointed out. Moore was too nice to him to be honest.

      • +8

        I'm not sure this could be considered too nice. Moore filmed Heston walking away and then after he was gone filmed himself "talking" to Heston holding the dead girls picture and stitched the footage together to suggest Heston was indifferent to the death of the girl. Regardless of your position on guns, Moore or Heston this is a dishonest stitch up and not a legitimate part of a documentary, to get the shots used in real-time Moore would have needed 2 cameras (which would be weird for a low budget interview) and the 2nd camera would have been visable in the shot which it isn't (ergo the shot is staged to play on emotions leading to reactions like @boogermans and yours.) (TBH even if the footage was legit whether or not Heston cares about a victim is not a good basis for policy and shouldn't be in a genuine documentary about gunlaws)

        • +4

          Everything Moore ever did was a dishonest stitch up.

      • +1

        Why was he a POS? Not challenging, just genuinely interested if your assertion is based on him being so pro gun?

        • +1

          Yes, I may be a bit of a partisan here, but someone who is the president of the NRA, is automatically a POS in my view, reinforced by the fact that he approved an NRA convention days after the Columbine massacre. America has 35000+ gun releated deaths a year, (first in the world for suicides and high up for homicides too, between Uruguay and Nicaragua) a huge part of which could be prevented with gun laws, which NRA lobbied against, successfully, for decades.

          • +1

            @liongalahad: How do you take over a country? First, you disarm the public. Hitler did it. Mao did it. How can the people fight back when they have been disarmed? USA’s founding fathers, after having won the Revolutionary War against the Brits, codified arms in the Constitution so if the government, at any time, went rogue, the people could rise up and take back their country. Is it perfect? No. Do idiots shoot each other? Yes. Put the blame where it belongs - on the person criminally operating the gun.

            • +1

              @iCandy: Yeah right… "Idiots shoot each other". Tell it to the Sandy Hook parents, you muppet.

              • @liongalahad: “Is it perfect? No.” Miss that part did you numbnuts?

                • +1

                  @iCandy: It's the opposite of perfect, it's disastrous. The concept of arming people so they can revolt against a tyrant is something good for the 18th century maybe, surely not for the 21st. To the opposite actually, a tyrant could use armed people to try and seize power, which is far more plausible (and Trump's wet dream).

                    @liongalahad: As I said, it’s not perfect.

                      @iCandy: Saying it's not perfect implies it's still pretty good, but it's disastrous, and numbers prove it.
                      For the same reasons, why not allow every country in the world to build nuclear weapons? So they can fight back if attacked by a nation a lot powerful that them? Let's allow the talibans, Syria, North Korea and whoever wants it, to have nukes. A-Bombs don't kill people, people kill people, am I right? If a nation annihilates another country its not the bombs fault, it's people's fault.
                      Nice reasoning…

                      • @liongalahad: It’s still pretty good for the reasons it was put in the constitution.

                          @iCandy: Yep, in 1776 was a great idea, but I don't think the founding fathers had in mind mass shootings with semiautomatic assault rifles, because that is the ONLY result of the second amendment, only someone sick in the head can be ok with this.

                          • @liongalahad: Yes yes, how will I ever recover…

                              @iCandy: Well, if you are OK with mass shootings happening every week, where innocents get killed, clinically you are a sociopath, there's no way around it mate, sorry.
                              If you are not ok with it, which I sincerely hope for you, then I'd like to hear what is the solution to it, in your opinion.

            • +1

              @iCandy: You are absolutely correct. The second amendment exists so the people can take back authority from a government gone bad. In Australia/UK governments take away the right to bear arms so the people can't take back authority from a government gone bad. These anti gun/anti freedom idiots haven't got a clue.

      True regardless of your position on guns, the way he faked the heston walking away from the picture was appauling!

  • +43

    I never watched it before and gave it a go.
    Such a silly movie, 80% of the movie is Michael Moore making making smart ass quips and comments that are deliberately misleading or manipulative over stock footage. If you have a brain of your own and don't want to be propagandaised then don't bother. Moore himself admitted the purpose of the movie was to influence the outcome of the American election at the time. It is also a pity because some of the criticism he brings up in genuine but otherwise it is blatant propaganda.

    • +7

      Yeah I tend to agree with this.
      I watched it back in the day but didn't really like it.

    • +8

      Yeah this was even worse than borat the subsequent movie

    • -6

      And so what? It's a doco presented from a point-of-view, there's nothing wrong with that, it'd be almost impossible to do a purely objective documentary on a subject like this. Just take it with a grain a salt and enjoy the quips.

      • +13

        That's kind of like saying it's impossible to watch what I eat all the time so I'm going to KFC 3 times a day. Documentaries should be as factual as possible, otherwise they shouldn't be called documentaries.

        It is definitely entertaining though, but not enough that I'll watch it again. Bowling for Columbine is the much better emotive doco.

        • -6

          As long as the facts presented aren't flat-out lies, then I don't see the problem. Bowling for Columbine is his best work, I agree.

          • @zaphy: yes but there is an honest way to persuade, if your partner tries to get you to do something with compliments/affection it's different to threatening to kill themselves both are persuading but one is more honest/ethical.

        What a ridiculous comment. A documentary should include facts and minimal subjectivity.

        • Documentaries are an art form/piece of entertainment. Yes, they provide facts but there's always a viewpoint expressed. Take a nature doco on some insect. Facts and figures will be dished out, but also interspersed with beauty slow-mo shots and rousing orchestral music as the insect goes about it's business. The director's viewpoint is "hey these bugs are more amazing than you thought!" It's always subjective.

            @zaphy: They aren't full of made of shit and misleading BS though. Mike Moore would find a grasshopper on the lawn outside an NRMA conference and tell you it's trying to buy a gun.
