This isn't going to give you a very good sample I think Kain... My impression is that this site is pretty darn liberal in it's patronage.

I slightly modified the subject: who do u support instead of who do u think will be the winner. Maybe this will be more accurate. And you're right TB, this site is very liberal, ...except for Dr Brasso I guess.

I agree with you. However if you took Cheney and Kerry and put them together you might get a pretty good president.

In one picture you imply he has a stick up his arse, and in the next you say he is immature. Don't you think this kinda contradicts itself? Besides I think the second pic just shows he has a sense of humor, despite being obscenely fugly.

Some one can have a stick up there ass and be immature at the same time. They usually seem to come hand in hand. Oh and no he doesn't have a sense of humor. Leeches can't have senses of humor.

moore is a money grubbing bastard who hates americans. I wish I had the
link to all his quotes where he slams ALL american people. What a great
role model for so many liberals. If you dont like america, get the f**k
out.

Do you really think he hates Americans? Some of you seem to be quite anti-Moore, but what do you think about what he thinks about the issues he's bringing up? Though I haven't seen some of his more controversial things, it seems he's in it to a) make money, as most people in the world are, and b) actually help people from what he sees to be highly destructive problems with society- namely money and power grabbing gun/oil bastards :/

i have to ask, cause i am completely in the dark.. but why did you post a picture of an old man, holding his ears and looking like he's saying "LA,LA,LA,LA"??

you know, like some kids do when you are telling them something they don't wanna know?

I don't have problem with capitalism. What I do have a problem with is unbridled exploitation of peoples fears. To be fair, I've only seen small clips of his films, but that's what it seems like to me. sometime I ought to watch them all just so I know what I'm talking about.

edit: That was a picture of Michale Moore Orph

No no. Have you heard of "Bowling for Columbine"? I don't remember what his most recent film is. I don't know that much about him either but he has made some very popular documentaries including that one.

heard of the show, heard nothing good about it, have not seen it.. i guess, its just a case of ignorance on my part..

the towers falling down are popular, doesn't mean the people who think so are very intelligent.. popular is subjective..

still i apologize for derailing the topic..

continue as if i didn't post.

but i have to ask, why was he saying "LA,LA,LA,LA" ?

Sheesh, Moore's been all over the place the past few years. His last film was Fahrenheit 9/11 and it was over-exposed like Britney's boobies.

He's just over-weight and unkempt, but still was likely doing as you were describing, Orph. It's his way of mocking the politicians.

Don't vote Bush, if only for the rest of the world - he is taking America back to their intefering ways of the 60's/70's :sad:

Kerry couldnt do much worse than Bush has done, at least he's not a
fundementalist riding a wave of anti gay, anti foreign right wing
propaganda :razz: he's just another toolish american president.

btw i wasnt talking about you Orph, dont flatter yourself :razz: , just
pleading with America in general. I dont think it will work, just the
same way I plead with people not to vote Blair in this country. he's
wrecking the UK, and wrecking the world. Like Bush, and the U.S.

Ah, slightly drunk... time to make my pseudo-point then without fear of intellectual response. (at least not from Mr. Drinky McDrink Drink here :wink: ) Saying that Bush is ruining the world implies that the world was rosy before he came into office.

That's true - but he's just making it a whole lot worse. Hey, don't
give him all the credit either. We have a misguided and delusional
leader as well!
