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!

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.
