[JeffWartman]

well, because he's Retired. Which makes him old. which makes him wise.

He's perhaps one of the most uneducated people on this board

I dont recall MM saying that Cuba had great care?

why is it you people seem to be claiming he did?

The cuba thing is that NO ONE would treat the 911 people in the US, that fact that Cuba offered to treat them has nothing to do with wether they have the best national care.

This is getting old to the American people ,you see they are getting used to this type of false arguement and will no longer fall for this kind of obviscating bullshit hype.

Moore did a lot of ranting and self-righteous bluster...but he did say much of anything...a few "talking points" right after claiming that he didn't talk in soundbytes....and when Wolf defended the excellent record of Gupta...Moore changed that subject to the Iraq War, deflecting from his movie.

Someone who is hyping a movie deflects away from his OWN movie...you know something stinks. He even pulled a typical Moore stunt DURING the interview - and as usual, no one called him on it. Throughout the whole interview he said, "This is the first time I've been on this show in 3 years...you guys have been busting on me and my films for 3 years, I haven't been back on this show in 3 years..." totally implying that CNN has not wanted him on the show...when Wolf pointed out that he has been asked to appear NUMEROUS times in those 3 years and the MOORE has turned it down....he changed the subject.

Moore cherry-picks his information, he uses tricky photography, clips comments out of context, and misrepresents information left and right...he is a BRILLIANT filmmaker....and he brings up interesting topics....but he should NEVER be looked to for honesty and facts.

He did not "win" anything during this interview...he just demonstrated why he is able to fool so many people who, for some reason, never actually look into how Moore creates his films and how he distorts the information to get to where he wants to go.

How can you possibly make that estimation? Oh I forgot....soldiers (especially enlisted soldiers are uneducated. So sayeth the fine Senator Kerry from Massacheussetts. Therefore it must be so.

Wrong. My statement has nothing to do with his service. My statement has to do with reading the catalog of posts he has made on USMB.

Servicemen are like everyone else; some are smart, some are dumb. Service has little to do with it.

Why is everyone arguing Cuba's healthcare policy? What the hell does that have to do with us?

Cuba offers national health care because they have a socialist system of government. We offer private health insurance because we have a Capitalist system of government. Plain and simple.

I thought that since this is the United States, we were supposed to be discussing the United States policy...

You people fucking kill me.

They're arguing it because it's a point in Moore's film.

Still no reason to argue it, though.

Cuba is Cuba, and the US is the US.

These idiots sound like kids saying "But HE has the optimus prime transformer, why can't i????"

I think that they are discussing Cuba's healthcare system because Moore's point was that Cuba's healthcare system was better than the US's. Therefore, it would be relevant to see exactly what Cuba's system looks like (foreign to most of us) - since most of us know what the US's healthcare system looks like.

Canada's health care is so great:
