SICKO!

I finally saw SICKO.

I really really really want someone to disprove this movie. I want Michael Moore to be wrong. Can someone please do that?

I love the U.S. but boy are we a greedy bunch.

Some of the things on their are really crazy. I want to hear both sides though.

Some of Moore's facts didn't pass "fact checks" by various sources I believe... but they never do.

But the importance of his films isn't that their oustanding documentaries, but that they spawn dialogue about something America obviously needs to address.

Actually CNN did a fact check on SICKO and while they found that some of his facts weren't exactly correct what they found for information was very close to what he reported. They found that he used data from different sources to compare to each other, but that when you looked at the data from the SAME source that it was almost as disturbing...http://www.cnn.com/video/....moore.cnn

Did you see Moore go off on Sanja Gupta and What's his face? lol

I absolutely loved it.

Again, I don't know about his facts, but to me those are secondary to the message. It doesn't matter to me if we're measureing 6.5 unites of this or 2.3 unites of that--what matters is we're fucked up, and somebody's gotta point that out. Moore does a great job at that. lol

Yea, that is what I was trying to get across. He isn't perfect and you can pick it apart some, but it is still prtty accurate and he gets the point across.
