The links that hacker gave all talk about how he edited out certain parts of Heston's speech, didn't allow the banker to answer, etc. Who the fvck cares? Do those things have anything to do with the message he's sending? The point he's making is that over 11,000 people are killed by guns annually in the USA. He didn't make that up, that's fact. Look it up. People are looking in the wrong places to put blame for incidents such as Columbine. That's what he's saying.
"but, but he didn't let the banker finish...he's twisting peoples' words". Shut up. I got a news flash for you, you wont find any persuasive piece of any kind out there where people give the whole story. People leave in the parts that support their view and cut out the rest, which are picked up by the opposing viewpoint who does the same. Get over it.

Considering he CREATED some of the stuff in there and blatantly lied about others and misrepresented facts, he's a charlatan, at best. Wish Penn and Teller would do a Bullsh1t! show on his sorry arse. And getting an Oscar for that tripe? Shame on the Academy and double-shame on Moore for his BS stunt at the ceremony.
And, 11,000 killed by guns? How many by cars? I think we should outlaw cars.

Your last sentence is so incredibly laughable because you're pointing out exactly what Moore was in his movie. You're making ridiculous connections. "They listened to Marilyn Manson, he must be the cause." Says Moore "well yeah, but they also enjoyed bowling. Should we ban that?"
Yeah, lots of people here are killed by cars, but there are in other countries too, wiseass. You made no point.

I agree with him partially on the US supporting Taliban part. CIA helped train and fund Afghans during the Cold War to kill Soviets, the 70s and 80s are convienently left out of the anti-Moore arguments (look at how short their counter-arguments are).
Should he win for documentary? Nah, the stuff on History channel is way better than this BS.
I'm just not gonna believe anything I see or hear anymore. In my world I'm sexy, women always say yes, and size doesn't matter, and nothing you can say or show me will change that.

Well, let's just give up then.It's not a matter of who's gonna smuggle what, it's a matter of anyone, including kids, including criminals, who wants a gun for any reason, including assault rifles and other guns which serve no purpose but to kill people, all they have to do is walk their asses down the street to a gun show or gun shop and buy one.![]()
In fact the Taliban did not exist as we would come to know it post-Mujahideen. The Taliban arose out of the political vacuum and instability left after the Russians were sent packing.I agree with him partially on the US supporting Taliban part. CIA helped train and fund Afghans during the Cold War to kill Soviets, the 70s and 80s are convienently left out of the anti-Moore arguments (look at how short their counter-arguments are).

and so can the people who dont break the laws...the ones who will use it to defend themselves. Now, you take away the right to own a gun, that criminal will know how to get a gun from someplace else, the average joe wont.
To the extent the 70s and 80s might be 'left out of' the anti-Moore arguments (and its not), is due to the irrelevancy if not stupidity of Moore's arguments that we are some how responsible for the Taliban or that Islamic terrorism didn't exist until the US 'trained' Islamic militants in Afghanistan, a notion rooted in the usual degree of absurdity and utter falsehood typical of Moore.
