So are comparing Moore, who pretended to make a film that explains the Colombine shooters while charging the survivors and family to see it, to a Doctor? Wow this is the same kind of false assoication that Moore would use. No wonder you defend him.
Maybe you could explain the false association? I'll grant you that it might not be in the best taste. Is it more or less ethical to take advantage of death by charging people for burial? Is it more or less ethical to charge people incredibly inflated prices on necessary medications and medical care because when given the choice between death and destitution people will pay it? So mm is a capitalist, what's wrong with that? If some of them payed it, he got more money, it certainly hasn't hurt the movie's take at the box office, or in rentals. Maybe mm is actually more ethical because he isn't forcing the victim's relatives to choose between 1. paying incredibly inflated costs and/or incurring crippling debt or 2. dying and/or suffering damaged health. If they don't want to pay it, that's fine, thay just don't get to go to the special sneak preview. That is the american way. Maybe you should complain about that american value before you single mm out for being a good capitalist.

And last I checked tipper gore was neither a journalist nor a psychologist, so again your comment was without real merit.
That part of my comment may lack merit in your eyes, but that is only one sentence. Maybe you could explain this idea of yours that all "real" psychologists and journalists agree on the causes of the columbine shooting.

I will stand by my statement that a movie that seeks to explain why the Columbine shootings occured should do more to than say " A factory that makes WMD caused it, even though they dont make WMD" Why anyone is defending this is beyond me.
I think the movie actually does much more than say that. But then again, you seem to not be able to get past the idea that one false paragraph renders everything else in the book unbelievable and irrelevant. It is bullshit and is the only thing you can cling to to try and pretend that mm has nothing valid to say about anything. Honestly, i think if mm released a statement tomorrow saying that the sky is in fact blue, you would call bullshit on him.

and PS, I love all the talk that I want to take away Moore's rights to talk. I dont want that, I want a populace that is intellegent enough to know shit from shinola. And every time Moore open;s his mouth, a huge steaming pile of shit comes out. And the funnything is, again I will stand by this comment, even his biggest defenders call him a liar.
Being a liar and having nothing good to say are two completely different things. I haven't heard you claim that anyone else, coulter, limbaugh, bush, anyone in the media, is above lying too. You act as if he is the only one and the only one who should be discounted.

And the same peolpe blast Rush for lying. So I conclude that Liberals are ok with lies as long as said lies further their agenda.
I conclude that you either lack the ability or are just too lazy to grasp the difference between the opinions of individual people and your percieved opinions of anybody you can loosely put under the umbrella of the word liberal.

PSS I am waitin for Eple to be a man and answer my questions.
I am waiting for you to be a "man" and deal with me on a point by point basis like i've been dealing with you. No more of this pointing out a technical flaw in one sentence out of one paragraph as a way of rebutting what i typed.

So you admit that liberal means unpatriotic? LOL
I just thought it might be easier for you to understand if i put it into rhetoric you are used to.
