Right...another contradictory webpage.

I still believe that the funadmental message behind BFC is true: American Fear and the consequences of that fear, so keep arming yourselfs to the teeth and keep shooting each other ok?

Geez

So I ask again, has anyone actually SEEN F:911?

Sorry. Just trying to inform. Personally I don't own a gun and probably never will. My Mom wouldn't even get me a BB gun when I was a kid, 'cause she was afraid I might shoot birds or something. Also, I heard Michael Moore voted for Ralph Nader last election, so unless he'* changed since then, he'* not much of a Democrat either. Just trying to keep the thread going. In any case, most Americans don't live in that much fear, maybe the media makes it look like that, but I feel pretty safe in my own part of town. Of course if I go downtown, I do get a little nervous parking my car in certain areas. A little fear is good, as it keeps you on your toes. It'* a natural survival instinct.

This is true, I guess you never get the REAL picture only that streamed-out-filtered-to-see-only-what-we-want-you-to-see situation.

Just more reason to be more selective and open minded? *shrug* I dunno...

Heh...for the record...Kerry isnt the answer either :P

This was the main theme, he went to great pains to point it out. And one would think, all gun owners would have picked up on it. Canadians own nearly as many guns per capita, but have a fraction of the gun related deaths and injuries. And it all ties in to the national obsession with Fear mongering. To quote an NRA bumper sticker..."guns don't kill people, people kill people"

Well... Im going to start off by saying im another crazy Canadian with an opinion that doesnt matter. Just like Jim, but i dont think he'll admit it..
I think bush is a complete moron, and if you dont believe that... look at some of his famous qoutes...
-I'm not a smart man either, but if your going to be president dont make up words like 'misunderestimate'.

-I wont be seeing F:911 because I dont like that moore chacter.

Just because you are a bad public speaker, doesnt mean that you are a moron. Everyone knows that it is difficult to get up infront of people and a camara and talk, let alone to millions and millions of people. I think he is a terrible public speaker, but he has good policies. They arent the best, no ones is the best, but my point is that you cant base that fact that he is a moron by stating two quotes.

He is doing an ok job because the competition sucks...lol, he cornered the market. We had a bad public speaking Prime Minister as well, so I wont go there, but it is pretty embarrasing as a nation to see your Commander in Chief bumble thru a speech (which they don't write).

Anyway...off Bush for a moment.

I guess no BC member in the US has seen F: 911? :?

No. And I have no interest (maybe rent it when it comes out...but that'* it).

His "documentaries" are nothing more than him finding the worst in people and putting his own spin on it to deceive actions. He doesn't back up his allegations; furthermore he removes the context from actions, events, and discussions with particular individuals to push his opinions. It'* nothing more than mindless propoganda.
