Fahrenheit 911

Recommended Posts

My school is a liberal arts college and they force us to take 16 hours of mostly-useless junk in order to obtain the "liberal arts experience". Like I said most of the stuff is totally useless. This semester though, I've had to take a class called Pschology of Political Thought. The teachers goal is not to explain how the system works, but rather train us in the tenets of Skepticism so that we can atttempt to objectively view what we perceive. So, I went in to F9-11 with my eyes opened a bit.

WOW

I'm a registered Dem and most certainly not voting for Bush, but, DAMN, that was embarrasingly painful to watch. Just about every trick we were ever taught in class was used by Moore to skew the presentation and manipulate the audience's emtions/reactions.

What's really sad is that it could have been an incredibly powerful film, but instead ended up as something that Shakespeare might describe as
"...a tale told by an idiot. Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." (MacBeth 5:5)

>ANOTHER discussion of F9/11 is "this important"? Are you kidding me?

But we've only had around 20 threads on it so far! Which is nothing compared to, say, gun threads. And we all know the denizens of Speaker's Corner can't get enough of either one.



[Homer voice]Mmmm...Gunnn threads....![/Homer voice]

Right, so something this important should be tossed to the side? This is how the CiC reacts while the country is under attack.


But what did Kerry do? Sit on his hind end for 40 minutes "not thinking" until he was told to evacuate.

Yep. 33 minutes longer than Bush, and you think Kerry is going to be a better terrorism President.



First off - I haven't heard that one before - where did you get that tidbit?

2nd - Kerry is not immediatly responsible for the welfare of the country in his current office. However, the President of the United States is. Command level decisions needed to come from him....instead My Pet Goat was more important than national security.

I heard of the brain lock before, I believe even Hillary talked about it. Not made up like so many Dem assertions.
People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
