Nice one, moving onto A Few Good Men i see
No it is not true that everyone sings the national Anthem at school. Hell, growing up i dont think i every sang the national anthem. But i betyou probably saw it in a movie somewhere.
I dont really see how someone doing something for their country is a bad thing like you do. So some people find happyness in doing things for their country. Big deal. you go and make fun of them for doing something that they want to do.
And about your Japan statistic: could you find a source on that because i am pretty sure that it is wrong
just because you watched a movie does not make you an expert in the area. |

Of course it's an insult, the country is just wrong, not you and your friend, not your dog, not your g/f, not Geo Neo, the society.
Who said americans cant do anything about the violence?
Of course they can, but it's a matter of 100-1000 years maybe.
Another president would be a nice idea... |
:rolleyes:
how dare you insult america based on a completely biased movie
you can go ahead and bitch and moan about america's gun control even though it doesn't affect you but there isn't another country i would want to be living in right now than america...where i live in its as peaceful and friendly as can be you don't have to worry about walking on the streets at either day or night
what the do you know about america and its society just from watching a damn movie...do you live in america? why dont you visit america some time, make some american friends and actually see for youself instead of thinking up arrogant BS
George W. Bush isn't exactly the problem with gun control, i didn't see bill clinton george bush reagan improve gun safety laws either |

U know what I mean....If u walk with a gun in your hand in America, it's like the most normal thing on earth, |
rofl...now tahts what i call blatant generalizing...not every ing TOM JOE and MARY in America goes walking down a street with a ing .45 in their pocket or runnig around holding one...that person will get the same reaction as as the confusion fear in any other country...for one i've never seen a man in my life holding a gun or walking down the street with a gun...how ridiculous can you get |

i can't leave till i'm a) out of my parents house or b) prove to the court that my household is an unsafe environment for me, and i can live on my own.
although i appreciate your suggestions regarding places i should move, i think that western europe will do just fine. |

This came up in the political forum and here is an EXCELLENT website that will give you more insight into the movie:
http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html
Essentially moore manipulated and spliced out many facts to make his "documentary" work. He's as fictitious as the people he critisizes. |

Occrider has to constatnly rehash this one link to disprove everything that Moore presented in his film. Unfortunately, in your eyes rider, this movie has garnered phenomenal success. IT still is and after his acceptance speech at the oscars, in which the American media made it out to look like Moore was disapproved of by some boos in the audience, attendance in his film shot up 150%, his book went back to number one in the New York Times BEstsellers list, and his website is getting millions of hits.
People in the US are disgusted by Moore, or from the reaction i have seen, yet there is a large interest in his works as of now... hmmmmm i wonder why?
In any case, wait till you guys see what he's coming up with next. A documentary about called Farenheit 911. ITs about the bush family and their prior business links. |
