Volourn Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 "People attack Micheal Moore so much it's ridiculous IMO. He has a lot of good messages. And at least he stands up for something he believes in and makes a difference. Better than the people who just glide through life ridiculing those who make a difference in whatever field. " It's too bad that some people are able to ignore the fact that he lies, and even when he tells the 'truth'; it's so friggin' skewered. He is no better than thsoe he criticizes. In fact, often, he's worse. He's a hypocrite. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
taks Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 it's one thing to stand up for what you believe in, totally another to do it with deciet. distorting facts to prove a point makes him just as bad as those he accuses. further, if he were so bent on the policies those in the US should live by, why doesn't he live that way himself? live right, vote left... that's the very definition of a hypocrite. taks comrade taks... just because.
Monte Carlo Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 I love this "provide a link" / "gimme a source" BS. Not that Moore ever bothers giving reliable sources when he can just make it all up. Google, you lazy b*stards Cheers MC

Volourn Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Or, more importantly, they don't want to be forced to share the same link for 80 different disbelievers - espciially sicne said link can normally be googled within seconds, anyways, if those 80 people weren't lazy asshats.

JohnDoe Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 If you're making the statement, why not spend those 5 seconds adding the link to your post and avoiding all the trouble? Unless you're a lazy asshat too
Volourn Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 LOL I am which is why the others should do it. Why do you think I make too many typing/spelling erorrs in my posts? it's because I'm too lazy to even proofread them. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 The fact that we're number 8 just tells me the list is broken. Yeah it's shocking that the USA could be so high on such a list.... "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 You know, after examining that list again, I'm rather surprised that the UK isn't listed. As I understand it, the UK has a high standard of living. Anyone know what's up? Probably got something to do with the insane blind man blunkett. "I'm a programmer at a games company...

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 HAHA! LIVING in ICELAND is preferable to living in the US?!!! what's iceland got that we haven't got? If I remember correctly they're a much "Greener" country in terms of how they create their energy. That is a start. "I'm a programmer at a games company... REET GOOD!" - Me
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 How can we be number eight when we have Spider-Man?
@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 The problem is, some people seem to project their distaste for the Bush administration onto Mr & Mrs Joe Average American. Which is, I'm sure you would agree, unfair. It is also intellectually lazy. Mr & Mrs Joe Average though arn't exactly the smartest bunch of folks and have prehaps if they're lucky left the state they live in or in some extreme cases actually traveled to Canada or Mexico. :D "I'm a programmer at a games company...

@\NightandtheShape/@ Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Since when is pro-american a bad thing?You know what get off our internet. Go build anything that the world would want or even use. The world lives under the protection of us. Without us you eurotrash would still be at each others throats. You'd be speaking russian, german or dead. <_< Another American moron.

Arclam Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Pacific NW USA is my favorite place I've been in thus far in the world. There are places in the USA that r awesome IMO.. But there r also places like Casper Wyoming, the left armpit of hell, which makes USA down at least 3 notches itself.. lmao.. Where my friend got arrested for doing laundry. And people shoot anything that moves.. And if you look at a cowgirl you get a bunch of hicks wanting to beat you down and a bunch of cops wanting to verbally and physically abuse you.. Ack that place sucked... I recently embarked on a 6,000 mile monthlong roadtrip. Casper Wyoming wins the worst city on the trip by far. I don't remember Casper being like that. I always used to love going there. ( Lived about 70 miles away in Gillette.) I was planning on a return to Wyoming. Maybe I will try Laramie instead. By the way, if you want hell, try the Westside of the Phoenix, Arizona Area.
taks Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Like what? People expect that just because hes a leftist he should be poor? i've got no problem with him beig rich and that isn't the point i made either. you substitute a straw-man argument. moore is a hypocrite because he is the very thing he says he loathes about this country. he talks about the common man but he is further from the common man than 99.9999% of the people. he's all for our public (socialist) education system yet... somehow, his kids go to private schools. he mocks the very thing that made him rich. no sir, being rich isn't what makes him a hypocrite. the way he behaves is. taks comrade taks... just because.
ShinIchiro Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Are you sure he isn't for a good public school system? Maybe his public school isn't good. Also, his background isn't that far from the "common man", is it?
JohnDoe Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 he talks about the common man but he is further from the common man than 99.9999% of the people. So you'd prefer if he campaigned for more to be given to the rich? And poor people only should campaign for the poor? he's all for our public (socialist) education system yet... somehow, his kids go to private schools. Yes, because the public school system in the US isn't in good shape. He wants it improved, more money to be spent on it. He never said "Our public schools are better than anything" and then sent his kids to private schools. That would be hypocritical. If the system was improved perhaps then he'd send his kids there. Anyway, I'm not going to argue this further, since political discussion generally bore me. You've made up your mind about him anyway, I guess.
Weiser_Cain Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 Having gone to both private and public school(in chicago no less) there is no way in hell I'd send my kids to public school. At the same time I still think we need to improve public schools since not everyone can afford to send their kids to private school. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
tripleRRR Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 How though? The standard solution is to give them more money, which has not worked very well in my opinion. Something else needs to be tried, but what? And more importantly how will you convince people of this? TripleRRR Using a gamepad to control an FPS is like trying to fight evil through maple syrup.
ShinIchiro Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 I'm going to get bashed/rebutted/flamed/killed/murdered/denounced for this from so many people, but Buu made me say it. The solution is to get a new president.
Volourn Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 "The solution is to get a new president. " Yeah, because the schools suddenly went bad the moment Bush took officie not quite 4 years ago. LMAO DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
