Michael Moore's Sicko ---Mind officially BLOWN thread

the pearl, that post reinforces my mindset that reporters really do lean to whatever side is fashionable, if they do a report on some leftist group fighting for so and so, they usually pick a group or a person that seems kinda cooky. if you're the type quick to judge, then you're left with the impression that these leftist groups are really just a bunch of weirdo cry babies.

and that goes for alotta other things too like the movie Shooter, if you noticed the FBI guy who ended up helping Walberg's character in tracking down the 'bad guy', at one point is shown wearing a shirt with a picture of Che Guevara, in turn instilling in old american minds that only a 'colored' FBI agent with communist leanings would of helped another disgruntled soldier take down a government official.

maybe i'm stretching it thin but these days you never know what are the reporter's or a film-maker's intentions. they hardly ever do interviews or get asked the right kind of questions.

300 was filled with gross historical errors, some obviously made to make the Persian empire look like a group of not only dark skin middle-eatern peoples, but black as well, and asians. It seemed that anybody that was not white 'was' the 'enemy'. I read that at the time of that certain battle the Persian empire hadn't stretched down into Africa and the Orient for that matter. The Spartans did not practice democracy so all those battle cries for 'freedom' were misleading. They were in fact slave holders and forced many slaves to head first in front of the battle to receive the initial blow. They also had strong homosexual tendencies and yet the gayest character in the movie was Xerxes the enemy's leader.

shit, now this thread is turning into a conspiracy-nut thread

An absolutely jaw-droppingly dumbass ill-informed clip from Fox News, virtually blaming the NHS for the recent terrorist attacks in the UK.

just saw sicko and it gave me serious shock. I didnt know US hospitals TURN PEOPLE AWAY if they can't afford the care they need. I cant belive this can happen in the western world let alone in a PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN COUNTRY???!?! imagine if jesus healed a blind man and then made him spend the rest of his life working off the debt. true christian values at work. the bit about the NHS made me so happy to live in the UK. plus we've got Tony Benn making us officially the best country ever.

better then i had expected.

as in all his films, i really don't like how he gives the opinions of "normal people" as some kind of representative of the whole. same goes for his examples at hospitals/doctors/etc.

his overall point is..ahem...poignant though.

i had to take my mom to the emergency room the other night cause she took a pretty nasty fall and was in pain. she sat in the dr office for 45 mins and was never even visited by a nurse. my grandma has alsiemers and can't be left alone for very long so we had to leave. she went back 2 days later, waited another 1hr and found out she has 2 fractured ribs.

it's not the most serious thing in the world, but ffs. the amount of time wasted sitting around for a 15 MINUTE EXAM is just ridiculous...i mean my mom could have possibly had a punchered lung or internal bleeding for all we knew...

however i do feel pretty lucky as i've never had problems with hospital bills. and as a matter of fact i acctually have 2 insurances plans right now, one through work (which is payed for by my employer) and one through school (which i do have to pay for).
