Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palme d'Or

so, are you saying it's okay for somebody to be responsible for thousands upon thousands of uneccessarydeaths, just so long as it's not millions?

and most of the people already were pretty racist before the 9/11 thing
--- End quote ---
most? really? a majority perhaps, but can you really say with conviction that most people were already racist? (or that they are now?) that is pessimism in my opinion, and is also a generalisation which is unfounded. I say this however with no figures to back me up and no experience living in the states, but it just seems unlikely that the whole nation is filled with people who are mostly racist!
quote:and by laws that kill freedom im guessing you mean the patriot act. its not really giving them any power they didn't have before.

i suspect this is similar to the anti terrorism act and the terrorism act here in the UK. These acts simply strip away all the civil liberties (yes all, read the acts if you think i am exaggerating!) that we still had after the hideous criminal justice and public order act of 1994. Now, in this country we have no civil liberties at all (no right to free speech, peaceful mass action, freedom of expression, no right to know the name of an officer who stops and searches you etc) because we have no underlying constitution. The govt can simply pass a new law which supercedes any old ones that it contradicts. Perhaps this is one thing the USA's system has in its favour?
i suspect i am digressing...

No, you are not digressing, Calum. I STFWed for information about the UK Anti-Terrorism Act, and you're right, it's appalling...

No, bush can't pull off 9/11 all by his lonsome. But he can with his total goone patrol regime.
Conolez rice, Ashcroft and the like.
Pluse he and his daddy do have connections. So a single person no. But as him being the presedent and the people that follow him, then yes he did! Pluse there is proof now that it was his idea and his making alone.
