An Inconvenient Truth banned
 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...012501387.html

Some idiot has managed to get the Washington school board to ban the showing of an inconvenient truth, and read his reasons. The failure of ignorant-America (as opposed to informed-America where most of you are from) to recognise global warming as an imminent catastrophe gets me so riled up!

oh my GOD.

At this point, its BEYOND ignorant to argue things like this.

It's here. Period. Although it is not ONLY America's fault, we are the greatest contributor. America and the president need to take action, instead of sitting there with fingers up their noses denying it's existance.

P.S. An Inconvinient Truth is awesome. Anyone who hasn't seen it should now.

Aha.

At least one of my teachers is trying to do things about it. You can't count on the schools to teach you things like this, for some reason, it's not allowed. However, schools can do one thing and that is to teach you about how to stay aware.

I just saw the movie a couple of days ago. I see absolutely no reason to ban the film. Sounds like a childish act to cover up irresponsibility.

Whether you hate Gore or not, it's basically true: We give off large CO2 emissions, and we need to stop.

LOL, we're still building pollution, whether we're the greatest nation or not.

No, it's a sign that we need to convert to a better source of energy ASAP. As far as I know (although I don't doubt him), Jesus had no part in this.

Exactly my thought. He's pretty much saying, "We're a big country. We don't need to care."

They don't WANT to think it happened, considering over 7 million Jews and other minorities were killed off; that's a self-decieving way to go through life, though.
