Me neither, it's not my fucked up country.

I think it would be hard to blame the kids at the school for terrorising the shooters and running them off the road while threatening to kill them next time. But Moore never mentions the fact that those shooters were harrassed. Na, it must be the lie that the parents make bombs. That makes sense.

eple 10-02-2003 01:20 PM

seriously, can't you ever see that the bomb-comment was just that, a comment, it was never presented as a main solution or a direct cause. It was just an interesting paradox. Watch the movie one more time, how the fuck is it not possible to grasp this movie? It's not Shakespeare, it's simple and populistic, and that just makes it more embarrasing for you guys when you start putting your limited understanding of this oh so understandable movie on display on tha intarweb. The speech is not edited, the Heston-clip is shown before the rest of the speech, you need to be ignorant and/or completely biased to ignore that. Same thing with the bomb IT'S A PARADOX, NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM!
Jesus, this debate would be so fucking unneccesary if some ppl could just chill off and check their facts one more time.

Food Eater Lad 10-02-2003 03:20 PM

Simple, populistic, and wrong, This debate could chill if Moore checked his facts one more time.

eple 10-02-2003 04:02 PM

Well, as long as you guys would counter this movie on facts, and not on all this "he lies 'cuz i thought he edited a speech" bs.

The "lies" you are pointing to are bs, so if it's the entire point that the US has a problem with guns you are opposing, then debate that, not wether or not Heston's speech was edited or not, or wether or not Lockheed are producing weapons.

This thread is about How Moore Lies, if you want to argue Guns start a new thread.

eple 10-02-2003 11:20 PM

Exactly, taht is the problem, the thread is nothing but repeated bs about Moore lying, although every charge seems to be nothing but misinterpretations on your account. Wether or not that bullshit "truth about BFC"-site is linked a thousand times, the canadian in the link earlier already discredited that, so stfu please.

So then the NRA did help the KKK light cross's? Americans burnt witches at the stake? The Littleton Plant makes WMD's? Americans can buy ammo in Canadian Walmarts? Heston gave a speach about guns 48 hours after Kayla's shooting? Heston gave his speach as it was shown in the film? The wall plaque read as Moore said it did? ETC? These are all true to you?

mm is a total idiot

Food Eater Lad 10-03-2003 06:42 PM

And to make a movie and title it after the Columbine shootings, and try to understand why such a horrid thing happened and neglect the most probable cause is just shoddy filmmaking.

Discredited?

How so?

It has an average of about 3 sentences on each topic, and is composed mostly of opinion. Besides, the defenses aren't even anything to brag about. "That 'Cold Dead Hands' clip is like Arnold saying 'I'll be back'" Please. The NRA and KKK clip, yes, all meant in 100% humor, you'd have to be CRAZY to see something else. Does the Canadian website mention anything about how the NRA cancelled everything in Denver except the meeting they were REQUIRED to have? Oh, wait, I missed this part, "He showed the very beginning of the convention! I have read the entire transcript from Heston's speech, and I don't think Moore cut anything out or re-edited anything that put Heston's speech out of context. What was Moore supposed to do? Show the entire convention in a two-hour film? BFC is an anti-gun film. Of course Moore is going to use clips that support his opinion." Wow, that Canadian website sure did discredit Hardylaw :rolleyes:

About the Site


Dear Viewers,

My name is Richard Bushnell and on the summer of August 2003, I have just opened www.bowlingfortruth.com. This website is here as a recourse to expose the distortions and dishonesty in fictitious film director Michael Moore's Oscar winning documentary, Bowling For Columbine.

The point of this website IS a lot of things, but here are some that it is not: It is not to reveal a 'bias' in Moore's work - bias in documentaries doesn't bother me. I echo David Hardy's assessment in that "The point is not that Bowling is biased. No, the point is that Bowling is deliberately, seriously, and consistently deceptive." It is not to make the case for guns - I've never owned a gun, never shot a gun, and probably never even held a real gun; Guns scare me. It is not, in large part anyway, even to rebut Moore's beliefs. Rather, this site exists because Michael Moore is clever and glib and a very good film maker - but he uses his powers for evil. Michael Moore persuades his viewers by deceiving them, and this site exists for those who wish not to be fooled.

This site is not here to change anyone's mind about anything except the honesty of Michael Moore. It is not here to make you love guns, conservatives, republicans or Charlton Heston. It is not here to make you hate Marilyn Manson, gun control lobbyists, liberals or even Michael Moore. It's here to give you the truth that Moore withholds and perverts on a regular basis to fid an ideological gain.

These facts and information are here to let you make informed decisions - not necessarily different ones.

The main purpose of the site is to reveal the outright lies and extreme spin that Michael Moore displays as fact in his work quite regularly - most notably in his most popular film Bowling for Columbine. The purpose is to give you the information you didn't see in the movie that is important to your decision making.

I don't care if you hate guns. I don't care if you hate America. I don't care if you hate Charlton Heston. And I don't care if you hate me.

I DO care if you hold these convictions because of lies.

And I don't mean that in a way to where I am on a crusade to convert you. Not at all. Live in ignorance if you wish. Flop around in it like a pig in the mud and do so with my blessing (muddy pigs are funny).

My crusade is to fight for the people who don't accept disinformation. Who are looking for a tool to clean away the hogwash. This website is here to provide the ammunition that every honest person should hold within their intellectual arsenal. Use it - don't use it - shoot yourself in the head with it.

Use this website however you wish.

Yours,

Richard Bushnell
