Fahrenheit 9/11 comes out today

Just letting you all know that ALWAYS take things with a grain of salt.

One part of his movie however was over fabricated. The part I'm talking about is the one where he talks about Osama's family and how they were in the USA during the 9/11 attacks and how the family wanted to get out of there quickly for fear that the USA might hold them for questioning about their son, who they disowned 10years ago. Moore says that Bush himself gave the orders for higher security and a military escort so that the family can fly out of USA safely, during this time all the airports were grounded. What he doesn't tell you is that Dick Clark (the guy who testified against Bush on security to fulfill his own agenda) was the one who gave those orders.

 

gonna be seeing it today

gonna be seing it in about 2-3 hours, i'll post my thoughts after seing the movie.

 

strange

I was reading the paper today and it said bush's support has waned even further. I still have only come in contact with a very small number of his supporters, and I work in an incredibly diverse atmosphere. Where are all of these "bush supporters?"

 

Southern California, The Booneys Texas, Redneck Idaho? I dunno. Polls still indicate that he's a few % over Kerry.

 

by the way , im not from the usa but..... do you think that :snipe: bush :snipe: will be re-elected?

 

99.99999% chance that he will. Don't follow the polls you see on TV about "who will win if voting was held today". Everybody will be suprised come November 7th.

 

saw it

Just saw it awhile ago and damn what a good movie. I can't belive he was able to top bowling for columbine. You wouldn't believe how packed it was when i went to go, all sold out. Another huge line formed when i left. Bet disney is pissed at Eisner for not letting miramax release it.

 

FATALITY!!

While I don't wish as gruesome an end, I sure as hell hope he doesn't get reelected, otherwise I'm emigrating to Hong Kong or somewhere remote in Africa. We are in serious trouble if he gets a second term, and while the consolation is that it would be his last, that will be four long years.

And while I'm obviously not a fan of Bush, I refuse to see any of Michael Moore's films, and I consider any political arguments backed by "in Michael Moore's book/movies/etc, he said..." completely invalid. Everything he's doing strikes me as extreme leftist propaganda bordering on slander. Like I said, I'm no fan of the current administration, I just think that the voice of opposition could come across in a more intelligent fashion, rather than sounding like a liberal student activist of the type found in colleges all across America (albeit one with huge financial resources.) Just my opinion.

 

I know how you guys feel about Bush and all. I know he's giving the US a bad reputation. Sadam wasn't an immediate threat but he was a lesser evil and easier to get to than Osama and the others. Sadam was just trophy statue for re-election fuel. BTW, Disney is pro-Bush, thats why ;-) . Disney employee foundation is largely republican, trust me I worked at Disney world and was part of a Union. MIR burnt all the way as it went through the atmosphere anyway.

 

Well we've still got the international space station, plus God-knows-how-many tons of shit up there like satellites, space garbage, and bits from other space missions. So there's plenty of ammo at least.

 

Heh. The ultimate weapon is to unleash small meteors big enough to devestate a country... Thats the future...where we can "throw" meteors to our enemies and make it look like a natural disaster..

 

Yeah, great idea, until some hero with a triangular spaceship and a trackball comes and fucks all your shit up...

 

I'm young, I recently registered for the selective service, I'm not in school yet, I don't want the draft back or my ass will be first to be hauled off to Iraq!

 

Selective service and the draft in this day and time is such bullshit. I wasn't going to register when I became eligible 3 years ago until my mom pointed out to me the fine print on the envelope that said something to the effect of not registering can net you jail time, a hefty fine, or both. Needless to say that kindof decided for me. The draft was a beautiful thing in World Wars I and II, you know, back when there was something worth fighting for. But damned if I'm gonna be risking my life for any cause other than to keep my free way of living. The people that started this mess can clean it up themselves - I'll be up kicking it with can_dude or something.. :smt043

 

They won't draft. They saw what it did to the military in Vietnam. The military wants draftees as much as the draftees want the military. They just keep it around in case of another world war.

You might find this funny though.

lol, in all my 19 years as an expatriate US citizen I have *never* received any correspondence from the US government

I will register as a voter though, and vote for Kerry. IMHO, a lot of change is needed in the US.
