Moore=dog barfI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

The US needs a blood sport. That would lower gun crime, I think. Maybe bullfighting or letting our football players use knives."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Seems the right has only 2 problems with Moore: his weight and the fact he disagrees with them.
And Seeker, many americans DO lock their doors when at home. Especially in the cities.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

btw I agree with finding Pekka´s threads amusingI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever.

I've never heard about anything like that happening in France, a gun-law country.
What is this mythical 'no gun-law' country?
If you considerably reduce the amount of guns in circulation, you considerably reduce the likelyhood of such an event. The likelyhood doesn't become zero (there was a school shooting in Germany), but it's considerably lower nonetheless.
What you are doing is saying that nbothing should be done unless those tragedies could be made absolutely impossible. If we followed that line of thought, we'd do nothing against rape, aginst car crashes, against disease, against no nothing.
As Pekka mentioned, he paints the NRA in a very bad light, and then moves on practically to praise the huge numbers of guns in Canada (relative to pop). There is a logical disconnect that he obviously missed.(\__/)

There was a segment that was perplexing to me. He was interviewing some Canadians about if they 'lock their doors' and they were all saying they didn't. What did he mean by 'lock your doors'?
This struck me as a little weird, I mean maybe in some peaceful small town people don't lock their doors, but if you walk out the door in Toronto you definetly lock it behind you.
Maybe I was misunderestimating the question?
Americans don't actually lock their doors when they are still inside the house do they?
I mean, I always lock my door when I go out, but I don't think I've ever locked the door when I'm actually at home in broad daylight. Why would I?
'What do you mean lock our doors?' Canuck looks dumbstruck. 'You know, use the dead bolt that either God or the builders put in every damned front door?!! Ya dumb *****!'
That was pure fantasy.
Oh, and yes I lock my door while home for two reasons. One, the door isn't well hung so it tends to come open. Two, I had a guy in my bedroom at 4 in the morning flicking my own bic while he counted the cash he took out of a pocket. Happened about 20 years ago, but I haven't shot anyone yet.(\__/)

It's funny that people get pissed at Moore for Bowling for Columbine, which in my mind is his most even-handed and least propagandistic work. People go wild about him blaming guns when the whole point of the film was that it wasn't simply guns to blame.
I like a lot of Moore's stuff because it's propaganda for the things I believe in, but I liked Bowling for Columbine because it's the work of his that's most documentary and least ideology-driven.
I just think that there's something about Moore's style that drives right-wingers bonkers. He could go nuts and agitate for a flat tax tomorrow and the right-wingers would still be falling all over themselves denouncing him.

No, the blatant deception was pretty obvious even in BfC.
You may like him cause he's 'pitching for your side', but to me he's not much better than Coulter. Both should be tied to each other and fired at high velocity into a wall, or the sun.(\__/)

But at the same time he has a real point about a culture of fear.
I see it every day in the people down here. Middle-class Americans are ****ing frightened stiff by the ghettoes they've created, and it infects all of their attitudes. The racial bull**** is rampant. My friends are scared ****less by black dudes on the streets.
It's half repugnant and half pathetic.
I'm not saying there's no racism or class-fear in the true North strong and free (I've seen some first-hand), but I don't think it tends to be as ingrained as it is here.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Coulter will call somebody an *******. Moore will use all of his talents in front of and behind the camera to convince you that they are an *******.
And Coulter is quite possibly more insane than Moore, though I'm not sure about that one.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
