As a admitted capitalist, there is a MAJOR difference between F/911 and the other shamelessly political movies. F/911 made over 100 million dollars. It's a definite profit maker. There isn't anything that counters it that will generate even 10 percent of that massive haul. I think some people forget that. I know disney never will.
Man, those costumes are actually damn impressive. The funniest thing is the guy on the right in this pic. He looks completely fitshaced. Thanks for the links!
To those that will kick themselves for spending 100 bucks more for the x800 over the 6800gt specifically for Valve products. Perhaps if you hurry, you can sell it on ebay for enough to get a 6800GT. On the bright side, I'm glad I waited. Kinda makes my next graphics card purchase decision very easy.
That's why there have been so many lawsuits. That's definitely why the mainstream media have jumped all over it and not just a bunch of partisan hacks on the net. Man. I bet the movie makes NO MONEY AT ALL with all these important people and their important facts armed with THE TRUTH!!!!!. Please. You haven't even seen the movie and you know it. Go ahead and complain about camera angles and footage taken out of context and ignore the important things from the movie that can't be disproven because they are true. Moore is heavily slanted, but the damaging facts from the movie do not appear on any of those sites. I suggest you watch the film.
LOL, here I go. Kopel has been shot down pretty hard already. I'd LOVE to see you say anything about the Saudi Arabia connection and information. That's kinda SLIGHTLY more important than the tiny things that you are still wrong about.
1. "With information provided from the Voter News Service, NBC was the first network to project Gore the winner in Florida at 7:48 pm. At 7:50 pm,CNN and CBS project Gore the winner in Florida as well." By 8:02 pm , all five networks and the Associated Press had called Gore the winner in Florida. Even the VNS called Gore the winner at 7:52 pm. At 2:16 am, Fox calls Florida for Bush, NBC follows at 2:16 am. ABC is the last network to call the Florida for Bush, at 2:20 am, while AP and VNS never call Florida for Bush. HERE
2. Ten minutes after the top of the hour, network excitement was again beginning to build. At 2:16 a.m., the call was made: Fox News Channel, with Bush's first cousin John Ellis running its election desk, was the first to project Florida -- and the presidency -- for the Texas governor. Within minutes, the other networks followed suit. "George Bush, Governor of Texas will become the 43rd President of the United States," CNN's Bernard Shaw announced atop a graphic montage of a smiling Bush. "At 18 minutes past two o'clock Eastern time, CNN declares that George Walker Bush has won Florida's 25 electoral votes and this should put him over the top. HERE
But it's just the liberal media right?
3. The Florida Department of State awarded a $4 million contract to the Boca Raton-based Database Technologies Inc. (subsidiary of ChoicePoint).

The media organizations then used computers to sort and tabulate votes, based on varying scenarios that had been raised during the post-election scramble in Florida.

As for any other comments, WHO CARES. How important are your tiny points compared to the huge looming things presented by the movie that you simple CAN NOT REFUTE. Go ahead. Take on the Saudi Arabia connection. Take on the military spending and cut funding for OUR SOLDIERS. Take on the Unocal connections. Take on the Carlyle group connnections. YOU CAN'T. You may draw comfort from taking issue with moores ridiculously slanted style, but you can't shoot down a single fact in the movie. And you haven't. So sorry. Thank you for playing.
Why do you think FoxNews is dwarfing all of the Liberal spewers in ratings?
Because it's ridiculously easy to sell things with fear. Especially the good, Christian people of our nation. People that are afraid will believe anything. Fox sells fear. Our current whitehouse sells fear. Fear sells. And I agree. Conservatism is on the rise. That's why the current non-conservative administration needs to go. I want my small Gov't, state control, and civil rights back. The radicals in office are going to be the end of us.
Nobody has been able to shoot down a single fact in the movie. It's very easy to take issue with how the facts are presented, but not the facts themselves. So sorry. Thank you for playing.
The biggest thing I took away from moore's film was that we kiss Saudi Arabia's ass. They attacked our country, but we didn't do anything about it because they are very tight with our President's family. We let the real criminals get away and deflected the blame to Iraq. They they tried to block the 9/11 commision investigation, and ended up blocking 32 pages of content on Saudi Arabia anyway. If you don't think, in the very least, that something extremely fishy is going on you need to seriously rethink how much you care about your Country. Who CARES when the FBI helped 200+ Saudi's fly out of the country after 9/11. The real question is WHY THE FUCK DID THEY DO IT. When 15 hiijackers are from Saudi Arabia, and the guy that organized it all is from Saudi Arabia, it just MIGHT be possible you look the other way when Saudi Arabia OWNS 7 percent of the United States. They can't very well come out and say that now can they. There's a reason "Bandar Bush" has his own Secret Service detail.
When I watch the news and just today the new line from the whitehouse is:
"Ok, Ok, we finally admit it. There were no WMD in Iraq and there was no connection with Iraq and 9/11 so now the war was about THE FOOD FOR OIL PROGRAM" I wonder how many people are still buying it.
That's 4 different justifications for attacking a sovereign nation is a very short amount of time. And I freaking HATE moore. That doesn't mean I'm going to walk around with my fucking eyes closed. Sorry for the rant, but this shit is getting really fucking old. Get your God damn fingers out of your fucking ears and the blinders off before it's too late.
Why I will vote for John Kerry for President - by John Eisenhower, son of President Dwight D. Eisenhower
THE Presidential election to be held this coming Nov. 2 will be one of extraordinary importance to the future of our nation. The outcome will determine whether this country will continue on the same path it has followed for the last 3½ years or whether it will return to a set of core domestic and foreign policy values that have been at the heart of what has made this country great.
Now more than ever, we voters will have to make cool judgments, unencumbered by habits of the past. Experts tell us that we tend to vote as our parents did or as we "always have." We remained loyal to party labels. We cannot afford that luxury in the election of 2004. There are times when we must break with the past, and I believe this is one of them.
As son of a Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, it is automatically expected by many that I am a Republican. For 50 years, through the election of 2000, I was. With the current administration's decision to invade Iraq unilaterally, however, I changed my voter registration to independent, and barring some utterly unforeseen development, I intend to vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry.
The fact is that today's "Republican" Party is one with which I am totally unfamiliar. To me, the word "Republican" has always been synonymous with the word "responsibility," which has meant limiting our governmental obligations to those we can afford in human and financial terms. Today's whopping budget deficit of some $440 billion does not meet that criterion.
Responsibility used to be observed in foreign affairs. That has meant respect for others. America, though recognized as the leader of the community of nations, has always acted as a part of it, not as a maverick separate from that community and at times insulting towards it. Leadership involves setting a direction and building consensus, not viewing other countries as practically devoid of significance. Recent developments indicate that the current Republican Party leadership has confused confident leadership with hubris and arrogance.
In the Middle East crisis of 1991, President George H.W. Bush marshaled world opinion through the United Nations before employing military force to free Kuwait from Saddam Hussein. Through negotiation he arranged for the action to be financed by all the industrialized nations, not just the United States. When Kuwait had been freed, President George H. W. Bush stayed within the United Nations mandate, aware of the dangers of occupying an entire nation.
Today many people are rightly concerned about our precious individual freedoms, our privacy, the basis of our democracy. Of course we must fight terrorism, but have we irresponsibly gone overboard in doing so? I wonder. In 1960, President Eisenhower told the Republican convention, "If ever we put any other value above (our) liberty, and above principle, we shall lose both." I would appreciate hearing such warnings from the Republican Party of today.
The Republican Party I used to know placed heavy emphasis on fiscal responsibility, which included balancing the budget whenever the state of the economy allowed it to do so. The Eisenhower administration accomplished that difficult task three times during its eight years in office. It did not attain that remarkable achievement by cutting taxes for the rich. Republicans disliked taxes, of course, but the party accepted them as a necessary means of keep the nation's financial structure sound.
The Republicans used to be deeply concerned for the middle class and small business. Today's Republican leadership, while not solely accountable for the loss of American jobs, encourages it with its tax code and heads us in the direction of a society of very rich and very poor.
Sen. Kerry, in whom I am willing to place my trust, has demonstrated that he is courageous, sober, competent, and concerned with fighting the
It has to do with window managers, and whatever else you have running in the background. I run fluxbox and I don't try to make my home machine any kind of server. So every game run noticably faster on Linux. If you want a real mindphuck, explain why quake3 running under FreeBSD with Linux emulation is slightly faster than under native Linux. I've never seen that one satisfactorily explained.
Almost every single case of spamming or Dos attacks against large ISP's involves some sort of open-source software. I'm not sure you understand how ubiquitous it is. Attacking a mailserver? Probably sendmail or qmail or postfix. That's open-source. Attacking a web server? It's probably apache. That's open source. So are a vast majority of Pop3, Imap, Time, DNS, and ftp servers. I've probably missed some also. A subpeona comes in for data? Someone is usually using open source to look at logs. Probably hopping in vi to check out the logs, running grep on them. All open source.
Not to be a dick, but us smarter Conservatives know that Bossie is a whackjob. He's right up there with Ann Coultier or however you spell her french name. Completely batshit nuts. He's one of our MANY Moores. He's like that strange uncle that nobody wants to admit is actual family.
Asking for money and not getting it is not the same thing as stealing. You have no point. You are taking a biased article with no real basis in reality based on words the man wrote himself and attempting to justify a shakey position. He does CHARITY WORK. Huge massive amounts of it. You can talk yourself in circles all day foaming at the mouth calling him a criminal, but he's done nothing close to what a lot of our cabinet members have done to the families and friends and employees of the companys they have driven completely into the ground. The lives they have destroyed in the process. At least this man is attempting to do something other than line his pockets at other people's expenses.
Ok, let me get this straight. You want to compare taking a bath doing CHARITY WORK for an entire country and asking for a little help to do MORE CHARITY work to something like say....
I'm just having a hard time seeing your point. No matter how much of a mountain you make out of that mole-hill, it just doesn't come close to a bunch of Enron buddies making a fortune off the peons. Now does it?
In our President's cabinet than at any other time in history. Let he who lives in a glass house throw the first stone. As a taxpayer I'm going to have to bail out a 200 billion dollar quagmire. It sorta makes 2 billion look like chickenfeed. In the end the guy has done a lot of good around the world, and truly seems to believe in freedom. I'm having problems slighting the guy because he tried to do charity work in Russia, and ended up going it alone. I don't see any evidence of an egotrip, or any turning against capitalism. That sounds more like Roveian propaganda than anything based in reality.
His words are simple and well spoken. His point of view isn't extreme. It's a very common point of view these days. He has done some very impressive things around the world in the name of freedom. There is definitely a need to discredit someone this valuable to our society if you don't like what they have to say. Look at how Clarke went from hard right wing conservative to branded bleeding heart liberal in a matter of weeks. You have to respect him for putting his money where his mouth is. It's not like he stands to make a fortune. He's just doing what he thinks is right, and he's determined to win because he thinks it's that important. I am a Conservative, but I respect that a great deal.
For lots of things. Like driving F1 cars, conquering the universe, dating, and shooting demons with a shotgun. I feel confident I am prepared for any of these things.
