Micheal Moore - tanTALK

CrystalSS · 10-03-2009, 02:19 PM

Just saw MM's new movie last night. WOW!

Of interest there is a big segment on "Propaganda" and specifically how the wealthy industries use not only scare tactics to the public to sell, but how they push through other venues to come at you sideways.
It was admitted by industry professionals that the public is silently begging to be led and they believe what they hear.
They frequently eluded to the pharmaceutical companies. I for one was glad to see the ugly industries being named and exposed who give half truths to the public for the benefit of profit.

Which is why Dr Jonas Salk is a hero to many of us.
Discovered the vaccine for Polio......
He further endeared himself to the public by refusing to patent the vaccine for his personal profit, as he wished to see it disseminated as quickly and as widely as possible and patenting would have hampered this. When asked who owned the patent, Salk replied: "There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?"

Sounds EXACTLY like what I've been saying for years and years.

The tanning industry is very small compared to these wealthy industries.

Wouldn't it be interesting to see a variety of industries come together to challenge the wealthy profiteering scandalous ones?

I'll have to see this film- I'm sure it will only anger me.

Michael Moore is a big fat millionaire blowhard, made rich by the sytem he pretends to ridicule.

Nonetheless, if what you say is the theme of the movie, I'll gladly go see it.

I'll still hate Michael Moore, though.

Don't recall saying what the "theme" of the movie was. Just mentioned a segment on billionaire business propaganda.

Ok. What part of anything he's said do you have a problem with other than it being right on?

I find it hard to accept any business owner would listen to something out of a MM movie...

engfant · 10-04-2009, 01:28 PM

Have you ever seen one of his movies or just throwing around 2nd grade politics.

His movie crashed and burned on opening night... only $1.5M. It will be off the big screens in a week and in the Walmart DVD closeout bins by Christmas.

... and, no, I have never spent a dime to see one of his movies. He is a propagandist and not a very good one, at that.

MM is a loser.
