Did anyone see this movie? My history teacher always mentions it, so I downloaded it and watched it. It's a documentary but I really liked it. And the guy who made it is from Michigan so when he shows news clips, they are all from the news shows I watch. I thought that was kind of cool.

I saw it. I thought it was an okay film. I thought it was funny when the guy asked some people in Canada if they locked their doors and they were like, "No." (That made me feel silly for locking my doors before I go out).

I think that Canadians probably don't watch as much violent television as Americans probably do. They'll watch some, but probably not nearly as much as Americans. I also think that America would probably be less aggressive and a safer place, despite terrorist attacks, if there was gun control there. I remember so many stories from the news where children have accidentally killed their siblings because they got ahold of a gun that was in the house. I wish there was no such thing as guns anywhere in the world.
