Uh....well I have seen the film and found it amusing and thought-provoking to an extent. I guess my problem when understanding your anger here might be not relating personally to this issue You, however, likewise suffer from being too subjective. You become enraged by minor "lies" and things that really don't interfere with the big issues presented. Gun murders per year don't change wether or not Moore staged a scene in a bank. Highly increasing media coverage of violence does not change wether or not Moore has edited a speech by som altzheimer-stricken old gun-nut.

Being a Noregian, I saw the movie first and foremost as a way of adressing a serious issue. And since most of the people who viewed this movie had a similar objective experience, we all got a message of high body counts and some theories regarding this: Theories not involving "violent history", "too many immigrants", "popular music" or other stereotype explanations.

I believe your emotional reactions, anger towars Moore seriously cripple your ability to discuss this issue. Your anger towards mr.Moore seems misplaced, and somethimes come trough as quite ridiculous "Moore is a fatty liar LOL".

Most of us don't view the movie as an attack at the NRA or Lockheed or Heston, thus, claims of lies conserning any of these aren't really too interesting.
