That's the biggest lamest stretch since the governor of SC went hiking the Appalachian trail. That's all you've got?

Thats funny....why..Cause I am pretty well off person who never cheat anyone....I used what this country offers that you libs seem to want to change and thats..........Capitialism....Your socialist policies that you so badly want to implement are the policies of failure..socialism is failure.........."Only problem with Socialism is...Sooner or later you run out of OTHER peoples money".....Let me tell you something..In this country...you get what you put into it..You dont want to become rich..you will not!
Instead of crying all the time about capitalism....get your azz up and go make so $$$$$ !

My gripe is what I stated....M.M. talks alot of B.S. while making $$$, then it always seems to be his movies are B.S. lies in the end.


Read the sentence again before you accuse me of stating something opposite of what I wrote.

Michael Moore movies are good overall, I want to see his new one but it's not playing anywhere near me.

Why doesn't Michael Moore use some of his riches to go and get some liposuction though?

No decent doctor will perform liposuction on Michael Moore until he changes his lifestyle and loses weight.

You, on the other hand, accept that some will have way too much and many others won't have enough. Most people can't accept that. I agree in a sense that you get out what you put into something, but clearly our educational system is not producing entrepreneurs and innovators. It produces worker bees that don't question much of anything. The hard-work-will-get-you-somewhere mantra falls short when applied to the real world.

As far as MM talking BS, please be specific. I hear so many put downs but never get any facts.

You see its your educational system that has failed the younger generation...The schools and Colleges are filled with left winged nuts who teach exactly what they want..Socialism...Plain and simple.
See thats the thing with the left..They never,ever take the blame for anything...We have poured in 100 of billions of $$$ to the educational system and what have we to show for it...Sh*t.
Liberals have a lock on the edu. system on purpose...Mold young minds...Well you wanted it you got it....This younger gen. is so screwed up.

Left has and with this admin. in power will make this once great country into a 3rd world welfare states..and the sad part is..that exactly what he wants....Funny thing, libs blame Capitalism on all thats bad...but in a Capitist market..anyone can make a great living if they ( I am living proof)..."want to"...In your Soiclaist utopia.....Every just feeds the Govt. hunger.

Also pretty funny...you bash Capitalism but in a Socialist society the few control everything! Why is it that the left never tells that side of the story!

"Only problem with Soicalism is...Sooner or later you run out of other peoples money"

I don't know whether or not Michael Moore donates money and you most likely do not know either, but he is not stealing it from me or from you, so what is your gripe with his exposing the people that are? Kind of strange that you are put off by his confronting actual thugs.
There..

It really saves face and adds to a poster's credibility when they Google an issue for information and facts before they post just for the sake of posting.
There you go sickofnyc, I googled for you and in the first link found this, how he fawns over the Dems on one night, then "blasts" them as you say on another night:

Quote:
Prior to his film’s screening at the AFI Theatre in Silver Spring Monday night, Moore sat down with POLITICO. He told us, “I’ve had more requests from members of Congress to get a copy of the film. … If millions of people in this country go to see this movie, [Congress] wants to know what [the public’s] really looking at, especially if it affects them.”

Tuesday night is the official D.C. screening. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), Rep Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) — as well as Reps. Eli Cummings (D-Md.) and Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio), who appear in the film — are set to attend.

Unlike the footage of politicians running from him in “Fahrenheit 9/11,” members, including Cummings, Kaptur and Rep. Baron Hill (D-Ind.), talked with Moore about the pressure they were under to pass the bailout.

Moore, who openly expressed he “loves” President Obama and is “filled with a lot of optimism,” said his agent, Ari Emanuel (brother to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel), called him while shooting to say that the filmmaker may get his first White House screening.

It really saves face and adds to a poster's credibility when they Google an issue for information and facts before they post just for the sake of posting. Two sides to every story my friend.

Well, I would suggest that it is your problem ONLY if you want to be considered credible on this forum.

I can PROMISE YOU that that is simply NOT the case in Miami. Again, as I say, I can show you at least one large entire "neighborhood" in Miami (and there are more!) where very few people even have cars......much less 2 cars.....or air conditioners (and Miami is HOT for many, many months out of the year)....nor can these people afford to educate their kids past PUBLIC SCHOOL years.

Btw, YOU made the post saying some pretty absurd things. I lived in Miami for many years, and through my work I had the opportunity to see what "poor neighborhoods" look like. If you believe what you posted, then you are basing your belief on too small of a "view."
Driving around in Overtown is like driving around in a war zone!
And Overtowns populations is 10,029. What percentage of Miami's population is that? Of those 10K people, how many have 2 cars, AC, a roof over their head, and a cell phone? How many people that don't have those things are activily persuing obtaining those their life decisions and effort?

Its a doom and gloom scenario to push a bleeding heart liberal agenda, and I am not buying it. You named one neighborhood (most likely the worst) of the entire Miami Metro area, that has just 10K people out of 5.4 million.

That is .002%. Not to mention that is assuming that all of them are living in squawler
