Hey all,

I've kept on eye on the forums for about a year now, and I've been buying from CigarBid for just as long. I just thought I'd finally make a post and say 'hello'.

At the urging of another forum goer, I thought I'd make my first post a hot one. I tend to be a vocal, opinionated person. He suggested that I post a link to a sort-of review that I threw together on the so-called documentary "Bowling for Columbine", which I finally saw last night. It really got me going, so I wrote it last night. I just had to tell somebody! I didn't think I'd be telling this many people, however. 🙂

I've viewed these forums for a while and I think I know who will chime in! I thought it would get a hearty debate going. Observe...

I was one of those that was disgusted with Moore's boorish attempts at humor through film making. I did rent "Bowling For Columbine", and after seeing the other posts for "Solaris" feel compelled to say that "Solaris"(though I haven't seen yet)would be Oscar worthy when put in comparisson with this tripe he threw to the world.

Thank you for you honest assesment of this travisty of celluoid. I'll save an aisle seat for you.

"Like most liberals, he looks for a dark lining in a silver cloud. They quickly assess blame on everyone but those who are truly at fault. When it is their own ilk that are to blame, they'll usually blame the opposition. They try to make you feel shameful for being a free white American, and even worse if you're a free white American conservative. You're no saint, Michael Moore and neither are your liberal friends. One day people will realize it and knock you down a few pegs where you belong. The rest of the liberals will eventually grow up and become conservatives like the rest of the big kids. Kind of like when you finally traded in your early '90's "zoobas" sweat pants for a pair of khakis. Now, you just laugh and think to yourself: "How funny! What was I thinking back then?!" "

- Is Moore the only one guilty of making vast unsubstantiated generalizations?


Never saw the movie and I don't know if I will, but it seems like the pot is calling the kettle black with your review...

Did you actually have "zoobas"??? Those were, and will always be, hideous!! LOL

Welcome aboard... enjoy your flight !

Oh, I'm definitely just as guilty as Moore!

Obviously I have my feelings on the liberal way of thinking, and they effected the way I viewed his *ahem* documentary. I just wish he would have presented it in an unbiased fashion.

Of course, those who fall more at the middle of the spectrum may feel it was unbiased. Those at the far left would probably see it as the truth, more or less. Being far to the right, I see it as a liberal attack.

It goes without saying that he has every right to make such a film. I still find it entertaining and I'd probably watch it again, just as I've watched "Roger and Me" whenever it is on television. Equally biased, in my opinion, but entertaining nonetheless. I always like to hear the other side's views. I just wish they were presented honestly and appropriately. I'd expect the same from my side.

Buy hey, there is always room for a little mudslinging, don't you think? 🙂


Dan

There's always mudslinging, but it's usually misrepresented details and un-factual by nature. True for both sides, but at least you acknowledge the existence of a middle group, most here seem to think that's impossible to not be compartmentalized into the left or right...

Oh, and yes, I'm afraid I did have a pair of "zoobas."

Don't cry for me... 😞


Dan

Ah yes, those middle-of-the-road people. I definitely acknowledge that they exist and that their voice should be heard. I like to think of them as "confused." They'll learn eventually!

By the way...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

confused? I guess I was wrong in my assertion...

I'm just joking on the "confused" thing. I'm a jerk, but I'm not that much of a jerk!

I can definitely appreciate that there are those in the middle who don't really fall to one side or the other. There are plenty of people who keep up on politics and have well defined views on particular subjects, yet they simply don't fit into the conservative or liberal "boxes." Such people probably have a lot less stress.

I have friends who are like that. I just don't tell people that they're my friends and I don't return their phone calls.

Just kidding!


Dan

PHEW...I thought you didn't return only MY phone calls 🙂 Now get over to the trades board, I'v seen your smokes and I know other people want them 🙂

KC

dkornaus - well said, but it's more stressful in the middle!!

Kein, err... KC, I mean... KM. Or should I just call you "Penguin" when we're on-line?

I don't know what you're talking about. I don't like cigars and smoking is bad for you!


Dan

Bad for you? All the cigars I buy say they only cause cancer in the state of California so, I'm safe 🙂

KC

BTW - you can address me how ever you want. I don't listen to a right wing republican Rush Limbaugh loving gun toting baby kitten killing person like you anyway 🙂 HA!

you kill baby Kittens???







I just tie their tails together and toss em over a cloths line till they grow up... then I sell em to the Chinese folks across the street...
