  1. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) And yet you seem to revel in the religious right being taken down for not being able to keep it in their pants. OK, I guess you won't be doing that from now on, right? I haven't been. If you've paid attention I called out athomeboy for doing it recently.
  2. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) And yet he got rich by utilizing those same capitalistic principles. Yeah, there isn't any hypocrisy there. Apparently no one in our country is qualified to make a film criticizing capitalism since we are a capitalistic country. And I guess that also means a meat eater cannot make a documentary about factory farming, someone who doesn't own a car cannot make a film about cars, etc.
  3. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) It doesn't surprise me that he could demonize people for doing something, and then turn around and do the same thing himself. It also doesn't surprise me that people who line up to defend that. He lives in a capitalist society and made a film bashing the principle. Wouldn't that mean he is advocating getting rid of capitalism?
  4. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 06:22 PM) Yeah, that is totally the same. As you can see from the video Balata posted he has admitted in many cases to help the people in his spotlighted films. Ultimately he's a film director shining light on issues he feels need exposure. Not sure why you would think that he should automatically work for free or donate his income. Shedding light on the topics in his films will be more of an impact than 1 man donating to charity anyway, which he is doing as well.
  5. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) The guy is doing a movie about the evils of capitalism, and trying to get rich off of it. You don't see the irony there? How is that different then a reporter doing a piece on corporate fraud? Should that reporter donate their salary to those who were defrauded?
  6. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 04:32 PM) I'd be curious how much of the proceeds of this movie that Moore is donating to help people? What does that have to do with anything?
  7. QUOTE (knightni @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) Anyone want to buy a bracelet? That craigslist post is so obviously fake.
  8. I can't disagree with that rule.
  9. X-Clan, the hip hop group, coined the term "vanglorious".

    I love when Clark referred to Christie Brinkley as ugly to his wife.
  13. Figured I'd put Gordon's LOLs on hiatus.

    The Griswolds are going on 'Vacation' again — this time with Rusty.
  16. QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) Have to make sure you check out Ice at Gaylord (tee hee) Palms. I'll keep that in mind, thanks.
  17. Going to Orlando for Christmas to see family.
  18. Yeah I figured I'd be steered towards Walter. I'm OK with starting him. Thanks for answering.
