Alright, USA. ...With Michael Moore. :cool:

And it's not only USA that we're looking @ but the entire world, because everyone wants to invade everyone else. It's like an omen of human nature.
Yeah, I'll check this one out for sure...it's always fun info from Michael, and he doesn't hide with body guards. :b

I watched Chiraq on Amazon directed by Spike Lee. After I saw it it seems like we need to worry about invading ourselves when you look at the statistics in the US they post in the beginning of the film. Overall I enjoyed the movie.

Awesome movie... and not about military invasion at all.

I used to work in Denmark and have sisters that live in Germany, I've been saying this for years. Many American's don't travel and have NO IDEA what it's like in "Socialist Europe". But they should as it'll put their ideas of "American Exceptionalism" to rest and maybe they'll realize that the US is turning into a 3rd world country in many ways. The way we treat each other and the way we prioritize work and getting ahead has taken it's toll and we should be ashamed of ourselves for the results it has caused.

s it possible that Michael Moore wants to "Make America Great Again"? That would make am interesting endorsement.

You can all relax, Drumpf will make you great again

I think we're in for 8 more years of the same old with Hillary... gov't policy that allows the rich and corporate entities to pay no taxes while the middle class becomes lower class and the lower class lives in poverty, private prisons and the world's highest incarceration rates combined with policies that lead to 80% recidivism, an education system that is failing our children and requiring massive investment to go to college, leaving them with massive debts as they first enter the workforce, and a health care system that costs far more than any other modern country and is bleeding the people dry. And ever-increasing costs of living combined with further wage stagnation that will soon have the majority of Americans living in from paycheck to paycheck and unable to cover a $400 emergency... except that's already happened. The question is why aren't there massive protests and impending revolution? America is now a corrupt 3rd world country and it's happened slowly enough the people have accepted it.

Haven't seen the movie. Not a fan of Michael Moore, not necessarily politically, but because he's uneven as a director, someone whose work occasionally requires squinting to avoid the . . . shortcomings. But, he's still an important voice, along with other differing voices.

To me, "American Exceptionalism" is a load of foolishness, if it stands on "because you're American, you are exceptional" or because "It's American it is therefor exceptional." That sort of thinking is a cousin of "aryan race" stupidity, however upsetting that is to think about. What made America what it was at its zenith was because of our actions as a country, as a work force and as a social experiment. In short, it's what we did not that "our $(!7 doesn't stink." We have centuries of shortcomings, alongside centuries of great contributions to the world. Lest I sound "anti-American" I think the world is a better place for much of what we've done, just not everything.
