I'm in Canada.. I know some people that don't lock their doors.. but.. that was a town that had a population of under 200.. and when someone's house was broken into, you usually knew who it was.
Now I'm north of toronto.. where someone's own son helps his friends beat his mother to death and almost killed the father with a baseball bat.. Violence is everywhere

Originally posted by seraphimvultureI think, before you rubbish Moore, that you should show exactly which parts of his report are wrong.
I don't feel like typing it all out right now but a lot of the information in Bowling For Columbine is false. Supposedly Moore admits it himself on the DVD, which I just bought yesterday coincidently and haven't watched yet. Anyways though, one thing I'll tell you is that his portrait of Canada is very wrong. I have a lot of friends in Cana ...[text shortened]... ker or that I don't like his movies, but he's definitely nowhere near 100% accurate.

I've heard quite a lot of people whine about his reporting, but when you ask further, they can't quite seem to come up with the evidence to destroy his films/books/reports.

Originally posted by shavixmirI'm not bashing the guy, but without even looking it up I've come across so many different references and articles that have stated that a lot of his facts and a lot of what he did in the movie were either wrong or presented in some exxagerated manner. I haven't watched the DVD yet and looked for it but again I've heard that on it Moore himself explains a lot of what is false in the movie. Anyways though, I'm not a big Ebert reader but while looking up some of these websites for you I found one page alone that has a whole bunch of em, so read at your own will:

This is an old Republican trick. LIE to the public and distort the facts!
Are you sure you aren't an old fart, Republican!? 😛
Originally posted by arrakislol Just stating what I heard. Nonetheless, if you go to Ebert's oh-so-helpful column there you'll get plenty of pages and articles stating what they believe is wrong in the movie. I'm not saying that they couldn't be wrong, but my own little investigating with the Canadian thing shows me that Moore isn't flawless.

Anyways, I shall check out the DVD tonight on my own and letchu know if I find anything.
And no, I'm an 18 year-old who hates Bush, loves movies, and really enjoys Michael Moore, so don't kill me.
