Wouldn't that be both a criticism and a judgment?

I see a difference between assessing dynamics in order to reach understanding and to foster growth, and with judging individuals in ways that perpetuate the problem.

If that is the way you feel about publicly funded medicine, do you feel the same way about other services that the government offers. Should public education be abolished, I mean other people who couldn't afford to pay for it are getting a free high school education at your expense. What about the police force? Rich people with can afford private security guards, why should they have to pay for poor people's cops and then wait for them to show up if he happens to call 911? How about road maintenance, if I can afford to drive a Range Rover, why should I pay to fix the pot holes which will have much less affect on my car then the will on on some guy driving a crappy Kia? Hell what about the military, the super rich can hire private military contractors to defend them, why should they have to pay for the army?

So are you saying the governemt shouldn't provide people with anything? Because I think there are countries that pretty much have that and they aren't very nice places to live.

Governments should provide whatever the people want! My beef isn't with governments.

Absolutely.

I think the people can do what the gov't has been doing for them in almost every level of gov't. There are a few examples of anarchist countries (spain pre-franco for one) that have done really well. Put gov't in the hands of the people, literally and cut out all the red tape that allows for so much corruption. And that process should include the economic sector as well (socialist).

Micheal Moore used to be way over weight but like a person who cares about his world he has done something about it. But not like a few people on this thread to actually think to see if what they are spewing is actaully a true representation of realty

you ever hear of genetics? not all obese people are gluttons. not all people with cardiac issues are obese, not all diabetics are obese. obesity can lead to a multitude of health problems, but there are more causes of obesity than poor diet and lack of exercise. his health issues, potential or otherwise should have no bearing on your opinion of him.

everyone always assumes that obesity is the cause of diseases, no one ever thinks that if someone is obese it's the result of a disease or other health issue.

Michael Moore's next documentary was going to be on fast food restaurants, mainly McDonalds, unfortunately for him someone beat him to the punch http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/ . Now Michael is hooked on MickyD's

For the record I like Michael Moore

Hahaha that is hilarious....Please look at the dates of those links (Both early June 2007 juuuuust before the release of the movie.....conveniently)
Without a doubt to me this LIAR went on his "health kick" to promote the movie.....I wonder if Fatty Moore is still dieting....I doubt it.


And as far as other movies like Super Size Me......if you need a movie to tell you too much McDonald's is no good for you well then you're just fucking stupid!

That movie was retarded. Not only was that guy eating at mcdonalds every day he was eating like 5,000 calories worth of food every day and not exercising. You could eat 5,000 calories worth of food you got from a health food store and it would still be bad for you if you didn't exercise.

No kidding.....but unfortunately in today's society common sense often loses to blatant stupidity.

Exactly, I mean does anyone think that if he follows through with his idea of taking Castro as his guest to the Oscars that the healthcare cause will be helped?

He's just a shameless publicity whore.

I think Moore's hearts in the right place, he's dedicated to exposing corruption and trying to right what he views as wrong. I view him to be sincere, hard working and diligent.

Where his problem has always been is method. He takes on an 'eye for eye' philosophy when it comes to getting his message out and uses the tactics he despises in others. It would serve him well to learn to take the high road and honor his integrity.

That's my assessment but I guess it's much more fun to make fat jokes.

Yep, unlike every single American politician roaming the country right now in search of votes.
And unlike every neo-con radio, or t.v, talk show host.

Just the fact that he's in the media, and ruffles the feathers of a few republican greedheads, makes him a shameless publicity whore, right?

I read most of these threads (when interesting enough....and most are) to get the general idea of what they are about. Do I love Michael Moore.....well when I was growing up in the 70's he had a great film based on the auto industry in Michigan and the screwiong over of their employees. Michael Moore was a hero. I originate from Cleveland, Ohio (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Baby!) I also am not quite sure what to think of MM. However - I really admire his work with "Sicko." Do I trust every word he speaketh - Hell NO! But there is some substance to his movies.

Byrnzie

Just saw Sicko. Very interesting documentary. I then read through all the posts on the pit to do with the film, and found nothing but criticism of Michael Moore for being overweight, and for being an untrustworthy propagandist e.t.c. Just a load of pathetic, empty gibberish.
