How can you say its crap if you haven't even seen it?

You're probably to bothered that you might end up changing your opinion if you did watch it...

I know its crap. I know he (Michael Moore) twists facts. I know he is an idiot. I have been aware of him for a very long time (he is from Flint, MI) He has been stirring up shit around here for years.


The main reason I will not pay to see it is because your money has power. I have power with my money. If I dont approve of a movie, store, shop, play or whatever I can spent my money elsewhere. The purchase power people have is often overlooked. I will not buy certian things because of where they are made. i will not buy French products, i will not spent tourism money in Canada. (but I will buy Canadian products) I try not to buy Chinese items (its almost impossible though) I have my beliefs and stand by them. You may not agree with them and thats fine. Purchase power is huge, many people dont understand that

Trying to not buy things from China is like a muslim country trying to stop America from invading them.

Well.. if you ever "WATCHED" Moore's first bio.. then you would know it is all about exposing the outsourcing GM did in Flint.. He fought against things like shipping jobs over to China and Mexico.....(BY the way, it was called "Roger & Me") If you had background information or past knowledge, then you would not be contradicting yourself right now. ed:

well seriously, why are you guys mad at other countries for "taking" our jobs, when its domestic companies that are giving them away? If you were a leader or representative from another country, wouldnt you want a large company investing in your country? dont blame Canada, Mexico and China, blame WalMart, GM and etc.

It's just capitalism. Labor is cheaper in other countries because they don't have as many established labor regulations or their economies aren't as good, so logically, the US companies want cheaper workers so they move, and we get lower prices at the price of less jobs. Make it illegal or kick out illegals so there are more domestic jobs, either way, Americans having jobs is priority.

Thats pretty ignorant about trying to not buy a product based on where its from.

And where you say " I know he (Michael Moore) twists facts." well heck, ive got a few names I could put in Moores space that would fit that sentence even better; Bush, Cheney, Rumsfield etc etc.

I don't see them deliberately editing video to create something out of something else. You can think Bush lied about WMDs or you can think the intelligence was erroneous, you can't argue about Moore's editing of movies.

IE: The Lockheed Martin plant in Colorado that he said builds missiles and argued that the missile factory spurred violence in the community. The plant makes rockets.
