I love MM but in Bowling for Columbine he went to Toronto to an area called The Esplanade and said "this is what a ghetto looks like in Canada" and showed how people there don't even lock their doors. The Esplanade isn't a ghetto but it has low income housing and mixed income so I could see what he was saying. My beef was that around the corner from there was the old Regent Park and if he had done that segment there it would have been totally different. Probably would have seen dozens of nikkas outside, fiends, feds, and all sorts of hood shyt so he obviously is a "smart" filmmaker.

I don't know if he told a lie, I didn't research every fact. Anyone know if he's rich? I always wondered.

Yeah he's rich, republicans always ask him that and he always says he is. He's not hiding from it. Dude also heavily gives back to his community

Why you always ask that like that's relevant? Wouldn't it look even better for him if he was rich and saying all this? That way the talking point of being jealous of the rich is mute

In Fahrenheit 911 he implied Bush was in on it with the Bin Laden family. I'm going to call bullshyt on that.

A list of what he didn't lie about?

Peep everything he said in Fahrenheit 9/11 to start

A list of all the factual points he made or conclusions him came to that turned out to be true.

Those are pretty serious claims. I would feel you would want to back them up with evidence in support of your argument?

Yes?

You saying he would have gotten robbed?

I don't know much about Toronto, but no offense, I stayed in a newly 'gentrified' area of vancouver called Surrey, and I saw some rough looking rednecks, but I not once felt threatened, walking around with video games in my hand (infamous 2 to be exact). Hell I even saw a swastika (first time in my life) and still stomped around that place not worried about nothin. I don't know what it is about Canada, but come to south or east LA and your perspective changes. nikkas in the U.S are wolves man.

It's like when poor africans move into the projects and act like they've gone to the burbs. "they broke in, but no one got kidnapped, raped and I didn't have to shoot my father in the face, quite a peaceful place, we have running water I'm happy. :manny:"

african immigrants be the only people new to the hood but walking around all comfortable and shyt, be having me like :wtf:

I go to females (esp mexican) hood, I'm hitting her up soon as I get pass the tracks, like you better be outside let these nikkas know.

Oh no doubt I totally understand. To be fair Toronto is way worse at its worst than Surrey or Vancouver but even Toronto at its worst has bad "areas" and not bad entire districts. As a result American hoods be having 10 blocks of just despair. It was just a little dishonest on his part but I 100% felt the point of what he was saying. I mean my mom left war torn Somalia (shes back now :wow:) and she at times was overwhelmed by the drug culture and violence that can happen, so it's all relative.
