I was simply playing the game by the rules Willow Tree set down. Not my fault she established the rules.

Bull shit... you're over the line. Did you miss the thread about people getting sued for saying shit like that about people online?

http://www.usmessageboard.com/general-discussion/89335-online-comments-spark-lawsuits.html

Oh dear. Love those lawyers when you wanna sue, eh PR? But that particular item assumes the parties know each other personally. Duh...

Get the turd out of your mouth and try and make some sense for Christ sake.

Mikey Moore is both boring and idiotic.

Did you know that the average CEO makes 550 times more than the average worker? Thats a little ridiculous. ).

You know, I have never been one to really care about how much money other people make (hell, I don't even care about how much I make, and I should, I don't make much) but what gets me about American capitalism is how CEOs are rewarded even for failure.

Their companies can loose money, they can strip down great corporate institutions just to spike share price but in the long term destroy competitiveness, they can fire workers, even workers necessary for long term growth, they can even wreck the bottom line and they still make out like bandits.

It is a form cannibal capitalism that does not know how to make or create anything anymore, it just manipulates share price and creates financial products so byzantine that even they do not understand them.

Too many American CEOs are flim flam men selling financial snake oil.

Mikey Moore is both boring and idiotic.

Overall, I would agree.


I think there will be for the most part a collective shrug with this film, much the same as with SICKO - which was hurt terribly by Moore himself - this morbidly obese American shuffling and huffing about the evils of the American healthcare system was more a parody than an actual documentary of any kind.

Now we have this morbidly obese multi-millionaire giving us the "evils" of our current capitalist system.

Moore's influence and box office peaked with Farenheit 9-11. His Sicko box office was way down - lower by far than Bowling for Columbine. This latest film may very well his worst showing to date.

He has become very much just another boorish American...


Only in America can THIS guy do a film about healthcare and almost be taken seriously!!

Thank you, this shouldn't even be a partisan issues. Democrats and Republicans should be outraged at whats going on. The wealthiest 5% own more than the other 95% of the population. I mean they probably wipe their ass with the average income of families.

And if you want to open up your own small business, good luck. I mean you may have a decent business that gets you maybe a decent living. But get too big and the corporation will offer you a buyout and then if you don't take it, they run you out of business.

So every time I hear republicans say "Well we are here to protect the small business."

This corruption needs to end, soon the gap between the rich and the poor is going to get so ridiculous that a revolution will happen just like it did in Russia.

That's probably why he doesn't use facts, they would show him for a hypocrite. He's making a fortune on the same system he is mocking.

If it is a non-government owned company - those with ownership stakes make up the salaries of all members. Now those companies that took government bailout funds, that is another matter. Those salaries can be capped so long as that money has not been paid back - no problems with that.

You are aware though that you can take ALL top Wall Street salaries combined and they don't come close to matching what our government wastes every year on needless spending. Billions and billions and billions down the drain each and every year. There is no greater waste of capitalist dollars than the US government.

You want to complain about Wall Street salaries? Have at it. You best take some of that outrage and point it right at your government as well though, because it makes Wall Street look like chump change...

I am for capping ALL executive pay and have that extra money go to the workers. These workers work hard for the company to make them money, they deserve a fair share.

Also, what is waste to you is something very important to other people, what makes your ideas so much better.

What is a "fair share" and who determines that?

Let the market determine salary - be it the common worker or the CEO.

The sooner you accept that, the sooner you might go out and be a more productive and financially secure member of society...

What fair share??? The CEO's determine that, not the market. They sit there and keep all the money for themselves, having their long lunch hours not dealing with the crap the average worker does yet freezes their hard earned pension and barely getting a raise ever working at their company.

I do work hard, everybody works hard. The fact that this country has let the private sector ruin this country makes me sick. We don't need de-regulation, we need more regulation.

Its time to put an end to greedy companies.

"Cannibal Capitalism." What a great definition! That should become a term adopted by every pundit when discussing this mess.

Only in America can THIS guy do a film about healthcare and almost be taken seriously!!

I don't understand why "obesity" has to become the focal point. After all, critics of Rush Limbaugh rarely mention that he's a fat slob. They point to his propaganda, which is where it should stay regarding Michael Moore too. After all, two thirds of Americans are overweight and a good percentage of those are MORBIDLY obese, and since none of us knows what the others posting here anonymously looks like, it just seems like a stupid road to go down. For all I know, you could be posting from the Brookhaven Clinic with a laptop on your mountainous stomach and you therefore have great joy whenever you can point out someone else who is fat.

Obesity is one of the primary drivers of increased health care costs in this country - even Bill Mahar rants about that.

To make a film on the healthcare system when one is so irresponsibly obese is hypocritical.

Moore is a bore...
