Sounds like an interesting movie. Is it a documentary or just a movie? Yea it's unbelieveable how much of an influence big corporations have on society and the fact that 3% of the population (in the U.S.) controls 97% of the nation's money and 97% of the population controls only 3% of the money is mindblowing. I saw a video in Pshycology last year of how much big business has flourished from the Idustrial Revolution to now and how it influences society, it's actually pretty scary. I'm definately gonna check this out.

yeah i saw it, it was a very good movie, but like alot of movie such as this it is very biased. if you did like this one tho you should see the end of suburbia, sorta similar except it discusses how suburbia was created and will be destroyed by oil ect... all of these movies should be taken with a grain of salt.

Catalyst, True, as with every documentary (if this is one). Supersize Me had very good points but was somewhat biased at the same time. That's why I ABSOLUTELY HATE Michael Moore and his lard tits. Basically all of his movies throughout each one is biased. He's so manipulative and biased I just wanna stick a grenade up his 450 lb ass.

P.S. Schmaltz, The Integ site's domain name needs to be renewed in case you didn't know.

yeah, I dislike M Moore... He is a hypocrite, while he says all these things about certain companies he actually owns stock in most of them...

I do have a ton of respect for Noam Chomsky...

Both of which are in the film.

But, in this movies case the evidence is factual and can be backed up...
It doesn't play off of a Liberal mindset it just shows hard evidence and history... Kind of hard to argue against when all you have to do is look around you.

True that!! Us Canadians know how to make documentaries. I LOVE THIS FILM.

I love that Fanta is a Nazi Drink, explaining why only Euros drink it. And I am scared the IBM “punch-Card” engineers were sent to Nazi concentration camps to service the punch-card machines the Nazi were using to keep track of prisoners.

He also says he hates Republicans and states that in his documentaries in some form or another, yet he made a statement about Democrats something along the lines of, "Democrats are leaches to society and I hate them, fvck Democrats, fvck them all!!!". What a fatass douche.

As for Michael Moore, I am torn as to my feelings towards him. While I respect his voice and the exposure he has given certain issues, I think that he is biased, and being biased does not make for good journalism. Moreover, he supported Ralph Nadar which helped lead the Bush Admin to office which is a crime in and of it-self. Moore has since apologized for supporting Nader, but the damage is already done.

The more I think about it, Moore and Nader are the same in my opinion; they are the extreme Idealists who give the left wing a bad name.

As for the corporation, I have often encouraged my employer to go incorporated for there a definite advantages to doing so:

*A corporation's life is not dependent upon its members. A corporation possesses the feature of unlimited life. If an owner dies or wishes to sell his or her interest, the corporation will continue to exist and do business.
*Retirement funds and qualified retirement plans (like 401k) may be set up more easily with a corporation.
*Ownership of a corporation is easily transferable.
*Capital can be raised more easily through the sale of stock.
*A corporation possesses centralized management.

With that said, I think that policy-makers within a corporation should be accountable for certain actions which inherently harm others, are illegal, etc….

DRINK FANTA!!!!

my bad here you go. I thought it was pretty tight.......

CONCORD, N.H. (Jan. 21) - Angered by a Supreme Court ruling that gave local governments more power to seize people's homes for economic development, a group of activists is trying to get one of the court's justices evicted from his own home

The group, led by a California man, wants Justice David Souter's home seized to build an inn called the "Lost Liberty Hotel."They submitted enough petition signatures - only 25 were needed ...

"This is in the tradition of the Boston Tea Party and the Pine Tree Riot, " Organizer Logan Darrow Clements said, referring to the riot that took place during the winter of 1771-1772, when colonists in Weare beat up officials appointed by King George III who fined them for logging white pines without approval.

"All we're trying to do is put an end to eminent domain abuse, " Clements said, by having those who advocate or facilitate it "live under it, so they understand why it needs to end."
