I am only 15 years old, but I saw ''Fahrenheit 9/11.'' I came out of the movie and thought about it. Wow, this man (President Bush) is leading our country -- how depressing! I do believe that everyone should be required to see this movie.
Another thing: Michael Moore said that if anyone did not like this movie it did not matter, because it was all fact. So I challenge you people that hated this movie, what was not true?

Rest assured she won't be reading it.
Please, if you're gonna speak abouth the twit, speak her language ;^)
Remember the Nostradamus movie with Orson Wells? Remeber that huge Earthquake that wiped out LA and San Fran in 1987? Wait a minute, that didn't happen! Stupid Nostradamus!
Hey, if the Incas had spaceships, how'd Pizzaro take them so easily? Maybe they got the death ray button and the "deploy cupholder" button confused in the heat of battle.
It ends with a frightening prophecy of a new world war and the apocolypse. Some guy with a blue turban.
Nostradamus / Orson Wells KNEW!
Michael Moore advocates buying votes with beer and food(from his "Do Something" suggestions)
Moore reaches his target audience: The brainwashed liberal drones who already felt that way to begin with. Wow!!
You know, I haven't seen, TOTW, but I'd bet you're right, in that the rally was truthfully recorded without distortion, even though it was a festival of murderous lies. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that (if you only count lies, deceptions and distortions by the filmmaker, not the subjects of the film,) F9/11 has many, many, many more lies thatn TOTW. Take for instance, that the first shot of F9/11 is a lie: It shows a Gore rally on election day and portrays it as Gore's celebration of his "victory" late that night. Take, for instance, the vacation calculation where Moore counts weekends as vacation time. Take the portion where he shows a Congressman who has no children as an example of pols who won't sacrifice their kids for Bush's evil war. Much of Moore's lying is the equivalent of Reifenstahl showing Hitler speaking at Nuremburg and claiming that he was actually doing it in Moscow, having already defeated the evil communists.
If those sorts of shenanigans were completely absent from TOTW, it wouldn't surprise me much. Reifenstahl's task was to make Hitler look like a dynamic speaker with a lot of followers, not a very difficult task since he was that already at the time. In other words, she was supposed to make an evil make look more powerful and slightly less evil than he was. Moore's task is to make a good man look like a Hitler. That takes a lot more lying.
Judging by myself and many of my peers, she won't wise up by 18. Now, age 30, almost certainly if there is any hope at all.
What do I mean by no hope? I have spoken to many teens since 9/11 and almost all of them are 100% hawkish. Most of those who aren't are, for all intents and purposes, 21st century red diaper babies (kids of professors and neo-hippies) and all are ignorant of basic American history and values. The last one I talked too didn't know that the battle of Okinawa was in WWII. A kid who was twelve when the towers fell who thinks Michael Moore is the bees knees may just be too deluded to reach, but then again, when I was 15 I had all the bad features of a big-time lib and a person who doesn't pay attention to politics. Thank God I've wised up on both counts.
Now don't you feel proud that the NEA has spent all your tax dollars so exceptionally to educate our children?
I find it odd that no one deemed it necessary to actually answer this young lady's question. If she is as naive as you all have made her to be, and as impressionable, maybe you all should respond with better, more informative replies, rather than bash her. After all she is just 15.

And I find it odd that you didn't read the answer in post 16 above before commenting:

Troll alert....
I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt ...
Member since today, same question to 3 people, enough to make me wonder. And if the question concerns him/her, why doesn't he/she answer the 15 yo? Only reason I can think is that the esteemed new member thinks F911 is true.
Ha sorry i didnt know how the whole setup works so i replied to a few people like that, not knowing i had to do it only once. All i was doing is just pointing out all the bashes when all she needed were a few solid answers like post 16, to refute her.
No worries, welcome aboard. And I did not bash her, she addressed her letter to Moore-bashers. Which more than one person here would like to be.
