I'm with Stoneskin on this one. There was a grass-roots campaign to petition to
have Moore's Academy Award for best documentary because Bowling for Columbine fabricates facts and spliced together three speeches by Charleton Heston to get it to play better to the Columbine tragedy. For more fun reading on Americans from an American, try www.michaelmoore.com , also check out the links! As interesting as Moore's documentaries can be he has a tendacy to make his facts and then film something to make them fit. -- Stoneskin [Insert sig text here] -Bill (remove "botizer" to reply via email) |

Can't be bothred to read the whole thread. But I to think America is a
pathetic country. I can not think of nothing worse than me having to live there. Dan "Rockin Ronnie" wrote in message ... This fun. Keep it up guys and forget that you are in an NG where people want to learn something about ATI products. "cowboyz" wrote in message ... ec wrote: 80%? Go **** yourself.

If the USA is SOooOOOo bad, how come we have THE MOST POWERFUL ECONOMY ON EARTH? Again, go **** yourself. USA is #1, sorry you weren't lucky enough to be born here. It's hilarious, even in the recessions and **** job market times, we are still richer than the rest of the **** world. A lot of Americans don't know about Europe geography BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A ****. America became the richest country in the world with a large help from slavery. Minotaur - Don't upset the Americans. Next thing you know they will claim you have WMD in your closet and start bombing your family. |

... HI there "ec" It's hilarious, even in the recessions and **** job market times, we are still richer than the rest of the **** world. That's coz you're stealing the wealth off of most of the world. Just because you are a failure doesn't mean the people who are succeeding are thieves. Really you should take responsibility for your inadequacies. A lot of Americans don't know about Europe geography BECAUSE WE DON'T GIVE A ****. You're right, to busy having a wank to give a ****. At least we have something to wank! As I said above, take responsibility for your inadequacies! Jarg |

... 90% of Mercans don't even own a passport! And most of them speak like you, gutter mouth.. I have traveled many places, and lived in Germany for a year twice. I have found that you can find ignorance anywhere, and anyone who stereotypes any group of people is showing their own ignorance. But as to your statistical question I have found some numbers for you if you would like to correct your own ignorance. Keep in mind that passports are good for 10 years and not everyone renews them on-time. Also if your to lazy or just don't know how "Americans" is spelled, here you go. Here's the link if you don't believe me... http://travel.state.gov/passport_statistics.html U.S. Passports Issued Per Calendar Year (1974-1995) 1974 - 2,415,003 1975 - 2,334,359 1976 - 2,816,678 1977 - 3,107,122 1978 - 3,234,471 1979 - 3,169,999 1980 - 3,020,468 1981 - 3,222,346 1982 - 3,763,995 1983 - 4,121,534 1984 - 4,718,205 1985 - 4,967,895 1986 - 4,109,132 1987 - 4,872,403 1988 - 4,060,803 1989 - 3,690,830 1990 - 3,688,689 1991 - 3,387,245 1992 - 3,282,488 1993 - 4,207,716 1994 - 4,895,151 1995 - 5,263,989 U.S. Passports Issued per Fiscal Year (1996 - present) Note: As of 1996, passport statistics are tabulated for the fiscal year. 1996 - 5,547,693 1997 - 6,295,003 1998 - 6,539,864 1999 - 6,722,198 2000 - 7,292,182 2001 - 7,119,506 2002 - 7,001,482 2003 - 7,300,667 Good work! So the cumulative ten year total is about 64 million which is over 20 percent of the population. I would guess that percentage is quite a bit higher than most other nations. Jarg |

Moore admitted he spliced the speech in Columbine - however he only used one
line that was from another speech, "From my cold dead hand." He posted Heston's entire original speech on his website, and it was actually worse than what Moore portrayed in his movie. Oh, and by the way. Name another fact that can be disputed from his movie. And while your at it, tell me how many times he was sued for misrepresentation or falsification of facts. FYI, another common misconception is that Moore edited the bank scene at the beginning in order to make a week's worth of time look like he got his free gun on the same day. Guess what - he really did get a gun the same day he opened one of those special accounts! The background check only took 30 minutes, and he got a quicky lesson on how to fire it before he left. Before you knock my favourite movie, you better be prepared to BRING IT! "Wblane" wrote in message ... I'm with Stoneskin on this one.

Treefingers left a note on my windscreen which said:

And while your at it, tell me how many times he was sued for misrepresentation or falsification of facts. Well, how many of the death figures involving guns included suicides? IMO inclusion of these figures only serve to bloat the numbers and don't really represent what Moore was trying to get at in his film. FYI, another common misconception is that Moore edited the bank scene at the beginning in order to make a week's worth of time look like he got his free gun on the same day. Guess what - he really did get a gun the same day he opened one of those special accounts! The background check only took 30 minutes, and he got a quicky lesson on how to fire it before he left. Didn't he have to get the gun from another place - not the bank? Bear in mind that I'm generalising Micheal Moore here, not the BFC movie specifically. -- Stoneskin [Insert sig text here] |
