just thought i'd post this so everyone can see the quote that got him 'booed off the stage' and so horribly offended so many people:whoa.
on behalf of our producers kathleen glynn and michael donovan from canada, i'd like to thank the academy for this.
i have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to they're here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction.
You have to give him credit for having guts, not many people would do that.
Not many people are THAT stupid!
Imagine that!!... getting booed by one of the most left wing liberal crowds in America... the hollywood crowd...
THAT SAYS A LOT!!!!!!... WHEN will you accept that MOST AMERICANS SUPPORT THE ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST SADDAM!
Drop the discussions and accept the facts...
I LOVED it when he got booed...
i'm a newbie who has recently admitted to myself that 'the truth' isn't the truth.
i'm struggling with my new found freedom.
i don't know what truths i should believe anymore.
First of all... WELCOME to the board... I'm glad you found us....
You said:
i was raised a jw
and this is a HUGE hurdle to overcome... I like you was also raised a Jdub... it may take YEARS to completely deprogram yourself from the mind controlling techniques they use... but you have just taken the most important step... accepting they are NOT the truth.
Hope you can keep posting and that you can get some support from us here...

a lot of us can have different opinions about going war... some can support it... other can protest it... and thats what freedom of speech is all about.
but there's a threshold and we're past that threshold... we're at war.
so no matter what your opinions were before or even now no one can change the fact that we are at war and that won't change no matter how much those that oppose it try.

i think a few people on this site are short of a sense of humour.
You FINALLY say something worth quoting... and I AGREE a 100% with you... that's why Simon BLOCKED my thread...
http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/14/48980/1.ashx
Reason Given? "Inciting hatred on the basis of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexuality or other personal characteristic" WTF!!!
IT WAS A FREAKIN' JOKE!!!! Besides... going to IRAQ to try to take down that murderer is what the U.S. and the U.K. are trying to do right now!! so what's the point!??? WHY Block the joke?

I just posted on this thread... and didn't put the Yellow Ribbon like i suggested I would do... right after I posted it... I REALLY FELT just like the JW days... where you couldn't discuss, show or say what you thought because you then started to fear what the Elders or the "higher powers" could say or do to you... It's a shame that we have come to this point... again.
<sigh>
(no yellow ribbon displayed... happy?)

personally, i find it offensive when simon claims that showing support with ribbons is just a worthless gesture, but i dont think his words should be censored because of it.
I can't agree with you more dubla...
<sigh>
(no Yellow Ribbon on this post... hope this make all the anti-war people happy)
