Edame asks:
While we're at it, why do you think it is that Heston hasn't sued Moore for slander? If he blantantly lied about what Heston said, then Heston would have every right to sue surely?
Despite the popular perception in many parts of the world, not every American is litigious. Heston is old, sick, and frail. It is possible he simply doesn't want to spend the last years of his life tied up in a lawsuit.
There is no doubt Heston has the RIGHT to sue. Many lawyers would drool at the thought of taking this case -- it's as close to being a cast-iron win as you can get. But if he doesn't have the INCLINATION to sue, the suit won't be brought.

I already showed you that intentionally deceiving someone is the same as lying. Read the definition again.

No, you showed a definition, not necessarily the definition. There are volumes of text on medical ethics and philosophy that would disagree with your definition.
--------------------
The above is an extract from my fictional novel, "The random postings of Edame".
In the beginning was the word. And man could not handle the word, and the hearing of the word, and he asked God to take away his ears so that he might live in peace without having to hear words which might upset his equinamity or corrupt the unblemished purity of his conscience.
And God, hearing this desperate plea from His creation, wrinkled His mighty brow for a moment and then leaned down toward man, beckoning that he should come close so as to hear all that was about to be revealed to him.
"Fuck you," He whispered, and frowned upon the pathetic supplicant before retreating to His heavens.

This isn't directed only at you, take from it what applies (if anything)...
This is a good example of one of the things that have gone so horribly wrong with the world today. For some reason people seem to be afraid to say anything is wrong. Well bullshit, what Moore did was wrong, he's a lying sleazebag.
So many are willing to excuse others for this type of crap by saying things like... well his point is still valid, he was abused as a child, he didn't know it was wrong, I didn't want to get involved....
Bullshit, wrong is still wrong and despite the whining of sniveling little shits, it will remain wrong.
Until people are willing to say "that's wrong", things will continue on the same crappy path we're on now.

what do you think a good definition of the word "lie" is?
here, i'll give you mine...
to lie: to knowingly saying something that is untrue, presenting it as a true statement.
i could try to check, but i have a feeling that this one's consistant with every single english dictionary in existance. i'd even wager that it's even far more narrow than most.
what's yours?
completely unrelated question: do you think that george w. bush lied about iraq's weapons of mass destruction?

'Wrong' is a subjective term. Executing children is 'wrong' in my book, but evidently many Americans think it's ok. Doing drugs is 'wrong' to many people, but not to all of us here. Just because you see something as 'wrong', does not make it so, it's merely your own cultural bias showing through. Why is it that as a race, we're so hell-bent on proclaiming other people's behaviour as 'wrong'?
I think the reason that people like Shakta and yourself tend to disagree with a lot of my opinions, is because I see just about everything in subjective terms, that's my current reality tunnel. For me to claim that something 'is' right, or 'is' wrong, I would need some kind of all-knowing god-like view of 'reality' where everything is concrete and defined as absolute truth.

I think that executing children is right and god-like! Thats the concrete absolute truth! - Edame
I just pulled a "moore" on you, I used your exact words, I just took some of them and rearranged them. Would you say that my quote is a lie? That perhaps your post wasn't encouraging the execution of children? If so, how did moore do differently, and why isn't that lying? you child killer!

Really? Pretty sad.
What can be right about rape?
Waht can be right about child abuse?
What can be right about gas chambers?
What can be right about killing to steal?
What can be right about genocide?
There is right, there is wrong. Subjective? Not in too many cases.

I already gave my opinion on lies and deception a few pages back.
So going by your defintion, where did MM present his 'statement' as truth? How exactly was this edited speech stated as truth? It was as technically correct as any speech coverered by a news organisation, he didn't compile this speech as one long uncut take, he interspersed it with other footage. If you watch it with an open mind it's fairly obvious that it's not all from the same speech. To me it's subjective.
I don't think it can be proven that Bush lied, because we would have to be sure he knew his claims weren't true in the first place. I certainly think he used deception in order to manipulate public opinion though.
If you're interested, do a google search on "difference between lie deception", I found a number of articles on medical ethics and philosophy that show it not to be as clear cut as some would like. It can be subjective depending on any number of variables.

You're not paying attention, I already responded to your libellous method of 'quoting'. You would have to insert the correct gaps ("...") to be taken seriously. MM inserted these 'gaps' in the speech also, which you appear to be conveniently overlooking.

for something to be a lie, the liar has to know that what they're saying is untrue at the time they say it.
there's clearly a hell of alot of untruths in the film, but i'm not michael moore and i don't know what he knew when he made the false statements. i suppose i can't say for certain that he knowingly lied. perhaps he's just an complete moron who doesn't bother to check the facts while creating a documentary about something he cares about. or perhaps he's a liar. believe what you wish.
he was knowingly and abominally deceptive however, even if not a "liar" by the strictest definition.
fortunately, his movie is preaching to the gun-control choir, and i think the political impact of this peice of propaganda will be minimal.

Most of those I happen to find morally questionable myself, but you have gas chambers in the US do you not? Many people in the world think of the death penalty as barbaric (myself included), and many think that murder as revenge is justified, who is 'right'?
Not everything is as cut and dry as it seems. I have a different worldview from yours, does that make mine 'wrong' and yours 'right'? Who gets to judge?
