FAHRENHEIT 9/11

[ScruU2wice]

so it's ok for middle aged contractors who have little to no military connection to be beheaded.

Just because beheading is commonplace doesn't mean it's alright, it's considered just as bad there as it is here...

i thought i made it clear that was just as bad as the marine. i was only going on about the military aspect in response to perndog making light of the situation.

Being taken prisoner is normal conduct in a war.

Having your head chopped off is normal conduct in a Middle Eastern prison.

the U.S. has been ignoring the Geneva convention.. do you think others should obey it when we aren't? i'm not defending beheading but i think its a tiny minority engaged in atrocities so we should be very careful how we react to that.. i'd hate to see more innocents killed as a result of this.

lets start with cleaning up our conduct. step one might be to publicly abolish the policy of pre-emptive war. [/quote]

Well, I disagree with that. I think preemptive war could be justified if a country has been proven to be sponsoring or planning terrorist activity against another.

[AChimp]

Then you should issue a formal declaration of war against that country, not simply cross it's borders with your army and say that you're only looking for a handful of people.

That might take some doing. The conduct of a few soldiers in the field pales when you compare it to some U.S. foreign policies and actions over the last fifty years. They've put into power and/or subsidized some of the most insane dictators ever to have walked this earth.

this movie wasn't as funny as cannadian bacon :/

[Matt Harty]

I expected for him to use more ironic comedy like in Bowling For Columbine, but it was pretty good.

My Bush fanatic grandpa brought me to see it. Right after the movie ended he said "Fuck Moore" but said the movie was good.

[Bobo Adobo]

I just saw it. I liked it. It was very funny and had some great points. but it is definitally one sided propaganda. anybody who says otherwise is just stupid.

[ziggytrix]

i don't think anyone is trying to make that point tho, bobo.

[Bobo Adobo]

I know, but i am. And Micheal Moore is apperently saying it isn't propaganda. Propaganda gives me the runs.

[kellychaos]

Actually, Moore did admit it was more of an op/ed piece than a documentary prior to it's release. Not that I don't think that he's a smug, opinionated shithead with an agenda but he was honest in that respect.
