I have just seen Farenheit 9/11, unfortunally it was a crappy low-res movie-theater copy that I downloaded, because I really wanted to see it, and it's taking too long for it to become comercially available over here. Don't worry, I'll see it in theaters when it gets here - if I'm still alive by then. What bothered me is that the version I've seen appeared to be a rough cut. I could clearly notice some of the soundtrack was missing, and some scenes I've seen in the trailer were not in the cut I've seen, such as any scene regarding the patriotic act. Now, you guys have seen it, are those scenes in the movie, or do I have a rare rough cut copy of the movie?

About the movie - or at least about what I've seen: well, Moore could have approached the stealing of the election more, so that people who hasn't read "stupid white people", or people who dosen't know about it can understand what happened. He should have shown a little bit more of the reconstruction of Iraq plot, and the whole history of Halliburton during the Gulf War. Oh well.

By the way, here's my small view of things that have happened sorrounding the whole middle east situation in the past ~20 years. I am not making this up, as you all know it to be true. And I'd like to see any conservatives here trying to convince me that being a liberal is being evil (btw I don't consider me a liberal, I'm more like an anarchist evangelist wannabe):


Hey, do you guys remember what the Iran-Contras thing was all about? Well, there was this war between Saddan and the Ayatolah (cant spell that), and for some reason the US sold weapons for both sides. Why? Oh, and not only weapons such as rifles or pistols, there were chemical weapons involved too. And inocent people died, and rich people in the US got richer, and then Reagan said "I don't remember" about 50 times when asked about it, but hey, it was the 80s, and people were more concerned with issues like He-Man and Alf.

Oh, and the Bin Ladin family, and some good saudi arabia investors were investing big money on the people who run the country now, and guess what? Those same investors, such as the Bin Ladens, are using some secret weapon called fundemantalism to wash their young peoples minds, so they hijack airplanes and crash it into buildings, and they explode themselves into trains, and into american troops. At the same time, on the other side of the ocean, the powerful people running the country (called Lockheed, Carlyle, Halliburton...) are using some secret weapon called Fox News to wash their young peoples minds, so they go to countries they can't spell the names of, and kill some people and liberate them, so they could build some oil pipes, and gasedute pipes, and all that stuff.

Hmn, wait a minute. So why is america so rich? Why are you people working so hard everyday of your lifes? So you can have some money for yourselves, so you can all buy Alf and He-man DVD sets and be nostalgic about the 80s, and at the same time, pay some taxes. Now, 450 million people all paying taxes every single day, that generates a whole lot of money, and it's all being used to protect the country from the other brain-washed people, the evil doers, who are being controled by the people who invest get their investment money on the companies who protect you... Wheeh, that was complicated, wasn't it?

Ok, so basically: america wants you all to work and generate all that money that the government will collect and give to companies that are going to rebuild Iraq and profit from terrorism and wars. And all those billions of dollars are going to the people who generate the wars: your government, and the "evil doers". Am I wrong?
