I just watched An Inconvenient Truth

[WhollyHeretic]

I really liked it until I started reading the reviews on amazon and realized a couple things:

Even if there is global warming god will take care of it "Remember that you can't control other people's pollution, but take comfort in knowing that there is a Power much greater than ours, and that is the Creator of this world." *whew* that's a load off my mind

The movie is also just a pretext to take away our guns!!ll! " They also want Global taxes and to take away the "right to bear arms" in the USA. Why are they so anxious to take away the guns of law abiding citizens? YOU TELL ME......" I knew this was all just a big conspiracy by scientest worldwide to take away American's guns.

:puke:
The large majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive but it's pretty funny to read the republican attempts to discredit it.

If you haven't seen the movie I definitely recommend it.

1. They did it in New Orleans

I live in Europe and we have no guns, but we also have no police tasering us. So well I don't know

[WhollyHeretic]

2. So the liberals orchestrated a hurricane to take away people's guns?

:shrug:

4. No,

God did it to punish the gays and the sinners, and that was just an added bonus--God gave the repubs and excuse to blame the liberals.
Ha ha (not).

5. Hey

How's the head? ;)

:hi:

[lildreamer316]

6. Oh, fine..

I was a good girl last night. Really. (boringly).
Think I've had my fill since last weekend.
I'm just all excited about the car I get to buy in about two weeks. Freedom!
And you?

[billyskank]

7. Oh my head is fine

Thanks. I haven't drunk in about five years, so I am way more boring than you. ;)

What kind of car you getting?

[lildreamer316]

8. Whatever 3 grand will buy me.

Nah, seriously, I have several models in mind, am just affirming that the right car will be made available. Kind of a sedan-ish car would be good.
The car I had that husband wrecked was inherited from my mother. It's kinda old-personish; but nice, and I had poo-pooed it until he was in the crash.
75 mph and he walked away, unhurt, and the car is actually salvagable. I may decide to take the money and fix it instead, but probably not. I am singing the praises of that brand now, that's for sure.

9. Dupe (damn laptop)

10. Loved it - and it was spot on

IN fact, some have accused Gore of being too optimistic.

I hope Gore is right however..

11. Went and saw it in the theater last summer...

I also loved this movie! Loved Gore's big graphs.

I'm going to add a couple copies to my perpetual cart at Amazon to give as Christmas gifts to friends that haven't seen it.

12. There are a few people I've already thought of that I'd like to see that movie

[terrya]

13. After seeing that great film if you don't believe global warming is a serious problem...

then you're brain damaged. Period.

Al Gore does such an amazing, powerful job of laying out the facts: global warming is here, has been here for a number of years, it's causing some serious consequences which we are already experiencing (I thought the segment about Hurricane Katrina was particularly heartbreaking) and we'd better start addressing this problem NOW. I hope the new Democratic Majority leadership in both the House and Senate has seen this powerful film.

14. I got it from Blockbuster

yesterday, but haven't had the chance to watch it yet. The big teevee has been taken over by endless football. Not due back till Thursday, so there's time. Also got The DaVinci Code. (Iknow, I know, but what the heck)

[mdmc]

15. I support guns and AL GORE !

Gore 2008!

16. Well, it's true that God sends a helping hand to get us through disasters,

but things don't always work out. For example, during the Great Hunger in Ireland in 1847- 1850, the potatoes all rotted, but God sent bumper crops of wheat, barley , meat, milk, eggs and butter. There was just this small problem of all that food being exported under armed guard past starving people......

Whatever's coming, we can all get through if we work together or we can behave like rats in a bucket.
