Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion

xerid writes "I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 last night, and the theatre was packed & sold out for each showing. Today, I read on Michael Moore.com about the movie breaking records. However, what I haven't seen was coverage on Slashdot, about the movie's opening day." I saw the film on friday and was really impressed. But while it speaks much truth, and has many funny parts as well as truly heartbreaking ones, I don't know how many votes it will sway. But since there is very little other news so far today, why not talk amongst yourselves!

    I didn't see Farenheit 9/11 but I did see Dodgeball. It was pretty funny. Something about people getting hit in the face with stuff that cracks me up. I give it 3 and a half stars

    This is NOT a Troll.

    Wait. Are you saying that all replies to ACs should be AC? Are you saying all ACs are Trolls? I don't really post around here a lot, though from a fair amount of reading, I thought I had a pretty good grasp.

    I just happen to agree with the AC, and thought it was honest of me to say so in my own voice.

    As another moderate, yes, I like a little from column A and a little from column B, I too have noticed the anger from the Left. But, what I hate the most is the "double standards" that the Democrats/Left use. They can say all the hateful things, act opposite to what they preach and the press just ignores them, while the Right/Republicans barely put up a fight or not when they should do. I hate it when the Left/Democrats spout off a lie and the Republicans don't bother to correct the media to what the real truth is.

    I've never noticed, until before, on how complicite the media is with he left.

    Hey, I voted for Gore in the last election and I'm sooooooooo emnbarrassed about it, but not this time.

    Then why even bother posting in the first place, since obviously you aren't trying to say anything that will make an iota of difference?

    PS - That's the exact same reasoning I hear from heads-down proprietary coders who think open source is a dead end. They have zero interest in actually learning anything beyond their feeble understanding of the topic and they assume that everyone else is exactly as close-minded as they are and thus any argument that one might make is immediately deflected with "I don't want to hear that, I've made up my mind, you've made up your mind and so why bother thinking?" Great way to run your life, much less the country.

  6. This proves it.. Slashdot is indeed biased. by mrbrown1602 · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Fahrenheit 9/11 has nothing to with being a nerd, and news concerning it shouldn't matter. But instead, slashdot editors have taken it upon themselves to review the film and link to how "great" it is. Its a blatant promotion for a piece of propaganda, which even some on the LEFT are condemning.

    My one question: Why the hell is this even on Slashdot?!

    So you want your kids to see charred bodies? You want to explain to them that America seems to like violence? How do you explain human greed that extends to bloodshed to a kid?

    If you want to ask yourself why America is spinning out of control, exposing kids to violent images isn't helping in the slightest. Kids just can't cope with that. Imagine if their pet died, and you skinned it in front of them and danced around in its pelt. By your logic, that's fine, however It's going to give them emotional issues down the road whether you think it will or not.

    Depends in which way you like kids. If it's anything a hair more than platonic, yup, that's a pedophile. Most philia's aren't bad connotations like pedophilia is.
