The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I'd say suicide bombing is widely regarded as an act of cowardice, often due to the fact that it often involves women and children and its victims are often non-combatants.

With respect to this discussion, I can see both sides. Possessing an awareness of our nation/government's many faults and a willingness to discuss them openly is extremely healthy. {As should be the case for a citizen of every nation, since none are perfect.}

That said, I think it's best to exercise a basic degree of respect and courtesy when going on the record about government officials and particularly the military. You can criticize without being an asshat.

To be fair it takes some balls to blow yourself up. In that sense it isn't cowardly.

He's far more left than Beck is right . He's a self hating American whose opinions border on hypocrisy.
Many would say that targeting medics, and shooting but deliberately not killing an enemy soldier from three blocks away so that you can lure his friend out of cover and kill him when he tries to assist his fallen comrade, is cowardly.

Why is Moore criticizing American stupidity but not criticizing the actions of foreigners damning? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

What's really surprising is that people care so much about what Michael Moore has to say that they'll argue about it with each other over the internet.

He's never got anything positive to say about America, but never anything negative to say about the true evils.

I'd agree.

I've watched Sunny since episodeone. Funniest show ever made.

Sunny's definitely good but I wouldn't go that far.

You can argue over whether he's the best or worst president ever, but you can't deny that he's the coolest.

By coolest, do you mean that he's black and by that very racist outlook, the coolest?

Who's the coolest president then?

Lincoln? Teddy?

No, by coolest I mean that he's a ****ing badass and has the best one-liners.

Yeah, Obama's chill asf.

Millard Fillmore?

Bush was easily the most badass president.

You're not even an American, shut up.
