I think he's full of it, and support his right to be full of it. Is this a great country or what?

I loved his TV work and enjoy his films for a single viewing. The thing I really like about him, though, is his sense of humor. Canadian Bacon aside, I think Moore could have been a tremendous success as a comedic writer and/or actor, but chose social commentary because he is sincerely passionate about it and truly wants to change the country for the better.

No surprise, though, that the ones who truly despise him are the ones that believe that any criticism leveled at America is unpatriotic and treasonous. Also, they'll willingly acknowledge, and ACCEPT, bias in Fox News, yet bitch about Moore slanting his own work in the way he chooses. Lame.

I loved Canadian Bacon. I was 14, but still.

If we stop supporting him, he will crash through the Earth's crust, releasing the superhot liquid core to kill us all. [/mandatory quip about MM's weight]

He's full of himself.

He's accomplished probably more than all of us on this board combined, so yeah, I love the shit talking.

So because he's successful, that means he can't possibly be full of it?

If you take two seconds to see what the guy's about, his website, everything, it's clear that this guy really cares about people. Last I checked he never went after anyone who didn't deserve it.

That is funny...

He makes movies that are works of fiction not documentaries. AND this will be an endless pointless debate.

It would be great if he did a doc. on the steroids in baseball issue.
Would love to see Barry Bonds,Sammy Sosa,Mark McGuire and Bud Selig sweat or try to dodge Moore on the street.

Yeah, considering you make no attempt to back up anything you say, it is rather pointless.

You do realize that this is an opinion thread, yes? There is no right answer. He is entitled to believe that, even if you think he is wrong. And you are entitled to think what you think, even though someone else may think you are wrong.

It's fine and dandy to have an opinion, but everyone has a REASON for that opinion. Besides, d2cheer was stating something as fact.

I always find it easier to get through these threads if I imagine that each poster has added "I believe..." or "I think..." to the beginning of their posts, otherwise, yes, everything will sound like they are posting facts and not just their opinions.

Plus, I haven't seen you back up your opinions yet. From the first page:

I was stating a fact. In Sicko, he proposes universal health care in the US. Booya!

Yay, you won on the internet!!

Hasn't it been proven that the "bank/free rifle" scene in Bowling for Columbine was completely staged?

The guy has to right to say and think what he wants, it is his opinion, right? That being said, how can someone's opinion be construed as fact when presented in his "documentaries"?

Donuts...he's full of donuts

Who said anything about winning? I couldn't care less about winning anything with such idiots.

Well that statement right there tells me all I need to know about you. Everyone is already wrong in your eyes.

Who the fuck puts Booya! at the end of their post, unless you wanted to shove it in my face that you just provided the backup to your opinion. That was my point.

go here http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/wackoattacko/ . go to Edit on your browser, Find "bank" on the page and read up. Believe what you want to believe. But really, who could make this stuff up?

I support him...he is a true patriot

No, just people who don't know the truth.

Well, that was just gravy, because it was clear you didn't believe I could back up anything I was saying. You were the one who started the "game," not me.

Again, with the truth vs. opinion. I don't know how else to explain it to you, so I'm just giving up. You win again! Booya!

It wasn't that I didn't believe, it was that you were being a hypocrite. And what "game" exactly do you think we are "playing"?

You're not a hypocrite if what you say is the truth. Remember that.
