Talk:Religulous
Is Bill Maher really outspokenly socialist? I've never heard him talk about his socialism, but he's obviously pretty liberal. Outspokenly liberal, perhaps? HelpJazz 20:51, 22 September 2008 (EDT)
-Last time I checked, he was a libertarian. Not the same thing as a socialist, by a long shot. Bill Maher is outspoken in a lot of subjects. It doesn't make him a socialist. CodyH 22:49, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
- He claims to be a libertarian, which is what got me to watch his show a few times. However, he's pretty anti-corpratist and economically liberal. A libertarian who's economically liberal is just a liberal. HelpJazz 23:21, 26 September 2008 (EDT)
- Well then we should remain consistent because Bill Maher is called a socialist on his own article. Last I checked however, someone who favors gonverment interference in economic issues, to whatever degree, is a socialist. --Stirlatez 18:23, 30 September 2008 (EDT)
That picture!
It's really...erm...bad. Does anyone have a better photo of him? --St0dad 21:43, 11 November 2008 (EST)
- Don't you get it? It's not meant to make him look good, it's meant to make him look stupid! Which he is! Like all liberals are! DRussthegreat 21:49, 11 November 2008 (EST)
- Actually the picture is most likely a copyright violation. As far as I can tell fair use laws require the source of the image to be stated, which does not occur on the image page or within the article. Unless a source is given, or it is proven the picture is in the public domain, this picture must be removed from the article and deleted from the server. NormanS 21:55, 11 November 2008 (EST)
Merge with Maher article
This is to establish a discussion of a possible merge of this article with the Bill Maher general article, as suggested by Ed Poor. As to my stance on the matter, I think that the two articles should remain separate; Religulous is something Maher created, and should be listed on his article as one of his "achievements", but I don't think it should be completely incorporated into his article, to prevent clutter. See also the connection between Ben Stein and "Expelled!".--JZim 16:04, 22 November 2008 (EST)
- Merge it HenryS 16:01, 22 November 2008 (EST)
- Henry, I wanted to establish a discussion of the merge, not an affirmation of your view.--JZim 16:05, 22 November 2008 (EST)
- I don't like it gentlemen, but it is a movie, it was released in the theatres, and it had a regular run. Make sure it's not gloried and tell the truth of what it presents, but it is still a movie. Learn together 20:19, 22 November 2008 (EST)
- Ed, I fail to see how my comment was a personal attack. I established in my first comment that what I want is a discussion. I also presented my view and my reasons for it, which is quite condusive to discussion. HenryS presented only his view, which I pointed out, and somehow pointing this out is a personal attack. You did the same thing Henry did, and in addition you accused me of being morally low. Thanks. Let's try to have a discussion, please.--JZim 19:46, 24 November 2008 (EST)
- The film is not notable enough for its own article in an encyclopedia. HenryS 19:51, 24 November 2008 (EST)
