Has anyone seen this Michael Moore movie. Its horribly biased, but thats not to say i dont dis-agree with the bias. But it really has filled me with a new appreciation for the NHS.

GeoffK i didnt think you'd of been a fan of Michael Moore. Thought you would of been in the Hannity camp

When i first started here i had to go and view a case of a Nurse who was suspected of Murdering patients by injecting drugs that had not been prescribed.....nice way to be welcomed to a new job!!

Hannity? Surely you jest. I like Moore, I own copies of most of his movies. One of my school buddies worked with him on one of his earlier flicks. I even voted for a Green Party candidate for Senate.

Yea man i was only messing with you. I heard his done some earlier less well known movies. There any chance of you pointing in the way of getting any of them. I've seen a few of his films and he seems to make very good points, espically his film bowling for columbine. What your buddy think of him? I saw some report a while back on Fox News which was one of Moores old friends basically tearing into him saying he was a bit of a prick.

Did you see his interview with Bill O'reily, Moore clearly held his own only for Fox News to put more spin on it than a roundabout, and turn it into a victory for Oreily.

Oh good. I thought my admiration for the photo chopped Sarah Palin made me out to be a right wing nut job, as opposed to the left wing nut job I am.

If you have Netflix, you should be able to rent some of his earlier movies there. I haven't seen my friend in a good many years. I have seen him since he worked with Moore, however, he has never spoken bad to me about him. I would recommend the movie Yes Men by the same friend.
