in some countries, they take the moores out back and execute them, like shell scripts...

a text file containing a series of shell commands to be executed one by one...
nevermind, it was a vague attempt of portraying an image of the blacklists that people like moore don't need to think about, thanks to the brave men and women who keep america free...
ever had to cross a checkpoint in rebel-held territory??
your butt pulls a Jim Carrey and starts to chew gum (from the fear)...

Can Michael Moore please come to the UK. The NHS is a disaster. People are dying cause the waiting lists are so long.
Worst heartattack rate, shitty cancer rate and so on. THERE would be something to change .
Not just sit on BBC Radio 4 make clever blabla. and go on as usual.
Hard attacks against catastrophic grievances are good think. Nobody listens to intelectual toned down arguments. Get a rocket up ppls. posterior. Go Michael go.
And while we just talking US policies, just bombing some Iraqis cause some terrorists live close by is murder.
It's as idiotic as would have been bombing Timothy McVeigh's neighborhood cause he just happened to live there. If you don't do it in the States don't do it elsewhere,
That policy just admits we don't have clue how to deal with the problem Iraq.
See the problem is Michael Moore feels we should have the same health care system in the US as you have in the UK.....so if its so bad....why would we want it here?
As for the war in Iraq great so half still accept it the other half doesn't. Big Whoop...We are there now and now we need to deal with it we can all play Monday Mornign quarterback but ti doesn't do anyone a bit of good.
All moore was doing in his crappy movie was he was hyping a hot topic to make money. That was all. It did not do any good to anyone. It did not open anyone eyes. It didn't make anyone think. All it did was further drive the wedge in this country. And we should thank him for that why? The last thing we need right now is for theis country to slip apart in two halves. This is why I hate the two party system

LMAO, Obviously you know nothing about the military. They just dont bomb random neighborhoods, They have scouts looking for targets and talking to the neighborhood people and when they believe they have found usefull info or find a target, they send in the bombs.

So, why what was the attack on Iraq about again? Something to do with WMD One has to worry a little about the intelligence these attacks might be based on
At least some of the other countries with WMD should be easier to attack without those pesky oil fields getting in the way

So he wants the UK system, well he certainly degraded then in his objectivity and can go to hell.
Maybe you have to seperate the concept of the NHS. The idea is good, the execution is %^^&^%&*.
