C'mon now fella's! We're adults and I think we can behave/act in a mature manner. Politics are apart of everyday life, so I say if we behave like gentlemen, we have every right to discuss this movie.

With that being said, for someone who is concerned about President Bush making a profit off of the war, I find it funny that he IS making a movie that will no doubt bring him a hefty amount of cash....and his movie is of course based off of the war

Also, I don't think this movie will influence the elections because the only ones who are going to see it (mainly Democrats) will enter the movie with Moore's attitude, and the flick will only back up what they think. I haven't seen the movie yet, but after talking with friends, they say that it is full of false facts. etc. and the movie had no effect on their political status. They also said Moore gave Bush a pretty heavy bashing, and in a time when our country needs to pull together as one, despite political views, I think it was crummy of Moore to even consider making this film.

Just my 2 cents worth, didn't mean to offend anyone but as I said again, politics are apart of everyday life and I tihnk we can control our tempers on this board.

Thanks!

I cannot make this any clearer: keep politics out of this forum.

Got it?

And Gullible Jones the ad hominems are not welcome either. Consider yourself strongly warned.

Locked.
