What a monotonous piece of slander that was. You probably
think taking a
dump is pretty exciting stuff.

I thought the cartoon history of white people was funny as hell.

You sound bitter and disappointed. Truth isn't to your
liking?

I liked BFC but I don't think it was all exactly truth.
The thing that bothered me the most was the way he used statistics.
I don't remember the exact numbers now, but he presented
murder rates,
and showed America's rate of murders -by firearms- compared
to those
of other countries, and America's is like orders of
magnitude higher.
What he doesn't show is that if you compare -overall-
murder rates
across the same countries he looks at, the numbers aren't
nearly as
dramatic. And there's no question in my mind, the typical
viewer of
that film who isn't familiar with the statistics already
is going to
walk away from it thinking that America's murder rate
is thousands of
times higher than other countries. At some level he
has to have known
that what he was presenting was misleading.
I mean it doesn't really even affect his point all that
much, which
just makes it that much more sad. America still does
have something
like a 2-3 times higher murder rate than most developed
countries.
Using the misleading little trick though just undermines
his point,
and makes people who follow the misunderstanding look
like idiots. It
does more harm for his cause than good.

He took liberties with truth and honest reporting far
to many times. Maybe
a prize for best fictional event. There was very little
truth involved.
Just random bits strung together to make a point. I
agree we are a screwed
up bunch, but at least let the real us show through.
I forget where or
who, but there is a great web site that documents the
difference between
truth and moor.
