god, i'm going to join the NRA
Bowling for Columbine was sooo bad. I almost couldn't watch the whole thing. It worries me that people like that fat bastard live in this country. The only worthwile part of it was the segment about all the global attrocities, and only because the knowledge of such events haven't reached every citizen. i'm sure some people would think that it was

the stistics on gun related deaths-this country is fucking sick
should we reliquish our right to bear 'arms'-fuck no
is fear and consumption an underlying principle that fuels economies... hmmm, maybe, but most likely not.
Is the NRA antiquated? Is our constituition in many ways antiquated?absolutely.
Gunshows are pointless and have proven time and again dangerous as fuck. Their recent attention and subsequent legislation was bullshit. The gun laws are backwards in this country.
Bowling for Columbine was a bit sensational, but totally relevent. The 'majority' you're talking about has to be stirred, as you conceded. perhaps it was lack of tone, but you came off slightly pretentious in this comment, not the just the usual sharp wit.
One must recognize the social impact (kmart alone made that movie better than 'bad'). A documentary isn't always going to be an artsy-radical statement or tame observation, sometimes its both. And Sometimes the critical acclaim is right. (I hardly know you, but Sometimes its ok to go with the grain)

review of the NRO review
The things it pointed out were the obviously embellished points: Of Course getting the gun wasn't That easy, whoever genuinely followed that crazy militia men were really to blame for Oklahoma and not extremism most likely believed it when the media first ran the theory by them nearly a decade ago, kmart was fucking real-omissions or not the movie affected gun policy, the bowling angle-even by lying and saying they actually went bowling wasn't to say bowling was possibly why-it was to say blaming it on Manson/gangsta rap/tv violence are all possible, possibly likely, but merely symptomatic; inconcievable to be a cause.
I figured these sort of things were fucking obvious.
Did anyone Really think the plaque read that "this plane killed people on Christmas Eve"? In this PC crazy world who the fuck did not realize it was paraphrased?
the movie, lies and omissions, or omitting nothing, could have had the same point-
thus the review was rhetorical masterbation, an interesting college film-appreciation class paper.
as far as the mockumentary goes...
a 'mockumetary' about, essentially, fear Using fear- isn't there a negation of negations there, doesn't it become a documentary again? (the facts Are the 'lies that solicit fear')

I think that our different opinions stem from an issue concerning the US constitution. I've always thought that nothing is worth much without a written document to adhere strictly to. I've only realized this in the last few days while thinking of this subject of gun control and the "antiquated" constitution. The Bible is the same way. You can't just change things because they dont work anymore. that's basically what i think. it's better to adhere to something even if it doesn't make sense, then to change it and comprimise it's integrity. i don't think i'm that backwards for it either.
