opinon time with josh

you know, i'm getting just a bit tired of reading about how inhumane and abusive Americans are. did anyone see the beheading of Nick Berg? well i highly dont recommend it (that link is not to the video, by the way). it is unbelievably horrible image. i started to write about this a few weeks ago when i saw it, but i didn't. i really couldn't comprehend it at first, but when it finally sank in, i was enraged. i was so mad at so many people. first and foremost, at the "people" that did it. i hope they enjoy eternal damnation. he wasn't even a soldier. and secondly, at the countless people criticizing our country for its "inhumane" treatment of pow's (even though none of our pow's were harmed). yeah, the stuff those guys (and girl) did were not right. yeah, those pow's were probably extremely humiliated. but last time i checked, extreme humiliation does not even come close to matching the magnitude of beheading someone. what the hell are some of these people thinking?? i can't stand how some people are so stuck on either being liberal or conservative that they don't even recognize that the other "side" may actually be right here and there. and it happens just as much on both sides. so stupid.

and another thing, why does Michael Moore live in america? why the country he criticizes the most? why not canada? he seems to love canada. that's who funds him anyway. don't get me wrong, i think he has quite a bit of potential as a director (or at least documentarian), but i think he has an extremely tacky way of proving his point. and i really feel that he loses a lot of credibility because of that. at least for my part he does. you can see the trailer for his new movie at the link above. on that same note, here's an interesting article that seems to blow the whole point of Fahrenheit 9/11 out of the water. kind of funny. not the article, but the topic of it. yeah, his film won the highest award at cannes film festival this year. phhhh. the french. what do THEY know about movies? ...that's what i thought. (and don't tell me they invented them.)

here's a guy who disagree's with moore. actually, there are quite a few websites dedicated to fighting moore. ah well, i'll probably go see the movie (for free, of course, through my good friend billiard hammock).


okay, and now for some (non-political) links...
