Why discuse the real themes of Bowling for Columbine when Moore didnt even discuse them? Why did he try to link the murders to a plant in Littletown that doesnt make weapons of mass destruction? Why did he not talk about the killers history of mental problems, medications, being teased by the community, and Nazi fetishes, and the fact that they chose Hitler's birthday to kill.
Had Moore done this, as all the reall journalists and psychologists examining the Columbine Killings have done, then he would not have had a sexy cool movie to sell.
I find it odd that such a "documentary Maker" as Moore didnt even mention, not once, the most probable cause for the Columbine Shootings.

Do you mean the real journalists and psychologists blaming marilyn manson and video games? Because that is what i remember hearing from the "real" journalists and psychologists. Those causes certainly aren't sensationalized in the least. What are you talking about when you say "the most probable cause for the Columbine Shootings"? I'm pretty sure he mentioned the teasing which IMO is probably the largest contributing factor.

So again, if Moore avoided the issue in his own movie, and further more, delibratly inserted false and misleading information into his ficticious film, why should its "true message" be discussed?

Because he brings up valid points: Regardless of who says it and how, gun homicides in america are ridiculously high. We live in a culture of fear. You've got to be able to look beyond the bullshit and analyze content beyond just trying to discredit someone.
