  1. No mention that Michael Moore is just a university drop out (Bush even graduated!), and outside of his little circle of socialist buddies, considered a complete idiot.

    Considering how many people went to Fahrenheit 9/11 and read his books, that's a multi-million person circle of friends.

    No mention that Chomsky, a great intellectual in linguistics and messing with people's minds through words (his actual education is in this), is far less politically educated and experienced than Bush.

    Messing with people's minds through words? Do you even know what linguistics is?

    Chomsky commented that Bush had no knowledge of history... despite Bush being a history major and Chomsky not being a history major. If he refutes Bush's academic qualifications, at least do so being qualified!

    Okay, let me guess. You're still a student. Because no grwon-up in the real world would consider somebody's "major" to be a primary qualification for discussion of an issue.

    But for the CBC, this is enough, and they portray Bush as about dumb as can be, even having the producer of the document expressly say that Bush is "the lowest common denominator."

    Bush portrays himself to be as dumb as can be. He doesn't need any help. He's even made it part of his schtick. Didn't you see him discuss foreign policy over dinner with Blair?

    I was honestly shocked that this documentary was aired. Someone needs to lose their job and career over this. And the funding needs to be pulled immediately before any more Canadian government funds end up behind partisan idealogical propaganda films.

    What's wrong with being partisan and ideological in a documentary? People are still allowed to express opinions, aren't they? You just can't handle it when you disagree with someone?

    1) Why is open Canadian disrespect for others tolerated, but disrespect towards us so heavily criticised?

    Because we live in a democracy where different ideas are openly discussed.

    2) Is it democratically or morally permissive to have a state funded media outlet produce heavily biased propaganda works?

    Everything is biased. How heavily it is biased or whether it is propaganda is totally subjective.

    3) And mostly, why are Canadians so rude, or if we are not, why do we allow our tax dollar funded productions to be so rude? There is a proper way to discuss your differences in opinion, and this production, was far from that.?

    Because we get mad when people start wars to make themselves wealthy.

  2. Unlike global warming, peak oil is inevitable but also manageable. The end of cheap oil will require total reorganization of our economy and our urban infrastructure. Unfortunately we aren't doing much of anything to deal with this, despite indications, like in this week's Moneyweek, that oil production has already peaked. The next 20 years sound really frightening: “In the end, it will be the 'total shift' to oil supply dictating demand. Rising prices will clear the market, and the prices will rise precipitously."

  3. I thought the rape of native children was a local sport, at least on the reservations. It certainly has no religious context to it, that I'm aware of. Most of the "abuse" of native children is wildly exaggerated, designed to get yet more free money out of the taxpayer's pockets. There was some, granted, but I'm willing to bet the rape percenrage of native children at Christian schools is less than the percentage of native children raped now on the reservations by natives.

    Are you capable of backing up any of your bullshit with actual facts. Every opinion is based "feelings" you have or your "wilingness to bet"! Spew racist crap all you want, but at least come up with intelligent facts and not stupid unsubstantiated uninformed ideas you have while sitting at the computer.

    I'm willing to bet your a fat whtie middleaged unmarried suburban jew. But thats just a guess.

  4. See, there you go again. That's what a grade three student might say. The word "fag" is on par with N****R...you just don't realize how hateful you sound. And that changing the laws excuse is flimsy, seeing as how laws are changed all the time - it is called evolving. you should join the evolution.

    I'll vouch for you, Oddman. You're definitely smarter than him.

  5. On top of that, I like rubbing it in liberals faces when their insane hero has another failed venture.

    But Gore isn't exactly a Liberal. He ran with Lieberman, for crissakes, and his wife is a bloody social conservative. Economically he's to the right of Clinton, who's economic policies are more fiscally conservative than Bush--considering they balanced the budget and still had money left over for war.
