What do you think of the movie Bowling for Columbine?

I really liked it, and what do you think the reason for all gun violence in America is?





Is the NRA really responsible?





Or do you think it was REALLY Marilyn Manson?

What do you think of the movie Bowling for Columbine?
i think it was a good movie but there are various reasons as to the gun violence in america, mostly being the breakdown in morals that parents should instill in children but are too busy with trying to keep up financially in this greedy society, also the media (news, video games, movies, music) influences people more than they think, and also laziness- school officials need to do something when they see people being picked on, its part of their job to help ensure the well being of their students and the lazy people who dont keep up with their guns or fails to properly secure them enough to be able to have a underaged person easily take a weapon from them.
Reply:i think that Mike Moore really has chutzpah ( jewish for the term ballz) to put out stuff that makes us think and use our heads! He has no compunction when it comes to making a point. he has courage to defy society, defy conventionalism, and outright lies, to make us think and to show us that " the truth is really out there." We will have guns no matter what. What he did for BFC, was make us see what damage guns can do. Try to go to King Richard's myspace, if u can find it, and see what he has written on gun violence. Every day, as he leaves his bed, he must transfer to his wheelchair and remember about Columbine. I think,too, that that day should be a reminder of what can happen when ppl are mean to those that society considers, to be " outside the norm."
Reply:I didn't get to see that, but I liked Roger and Me and Sicko, so I would probably find it very thought provoking.





I don't think the NRA or Marilyn Manson is responsible for what individuals choose to do with guns.
Reply:i am actually sick and tired of these people who have gone and shot classmates and then themselves, and then the parents saying " oh well they were listening to Marilyn Manson before they did it"


then they all say its his music that the problem...he should be stopped ...blah blah blah.....





i listen to Marilyn Manson, i dont get the feeling that i want to go on a murderous rampage (dont mean to be disrespectful to anyone who was killed in these incidents) but you cant blame his music....





they went to kill because they werent right in the head! and it was probably personal things happening like....home life or severe bullying ...that pushed them to kill...





they just blame Manson because he is an easy target!





BACK OFF AND LEAVE MANSON ALONE PPLS!
Reply:It's really Mayilyn Manson.......





The gun violence has more to do than just a singer or an association.





It's the media, a child's interaction with other people, other individual events in the person's life. Social strain is a *****.
Reply:i think it was stupid.





michael moore stretched truths and made certain things look way worse than theyh were. michael moore is just a moron.





i hold the parents and the child responsible. no one else.


not video games, not music, not tv, not orginizations (NRA).
Reply:Michael Moore is an idiot...but I was really shocked about what Marilyn Manson said...They really should have just listened?...but it was an Alright movie....All the gun violence in America...no one single person is at fault...not even the NRA...Everyone with a gun needs to be responsible..Period!!!
Reply:I haven't been sick enough to make myself watch it. I avoid it altogether. Evil is responsible, children are born with evil in their hearts according to the Christian Bible.
Reply:Its the medias over attention to violence. You cant watch any news broadcast without hearing about somebody somewere getting shot or killed.
Reply:I thought it was very good, though I don't think either the NRA or Manson is responsible...





Good use of the Joey Ramone version of "Wonderful World", though.
Reply:What does this have to do with religion or spirituality?
Reply:Michael Moore is a government agent, and that was government made anti gun propaganda.
Reply:its this world getting worse not Marilyn Manson its Satan's fault
