Does it bother you that Gore's film cannot be shown in UK schools without the teacher first telling their students that 11 statements made by Gore's are either false or, unproven? and the teachers must preface the film by informing the students that it is largely a political piece?

but, here in our nation, the film is presented as though it is based upon proven facts and the students are not made aware of Gore's political agenda?

11, the article quotes eleven. I can't help it if Gore supporters are misinformed. You've only exposed your own foolishness.

Why did the American media scale the inaccuracies found within the film down to include just nine, anyway?

Yes it sure does! Here is an excerpt from a speech to the senate made by Senator Inhofe on Friday.

"Nine year old: ‘I don't want to die' from global warming

A Canadian high school student named McKenzie was shown Gore's climate horror film in four different classes.

"I really don't understand why they keep showing it," McKenzie said on May 19, 2007. (LINK)

In June, a fourth grade class from Portland Maine's East End Community School issued a dire climate report: "Global warming is a huge pending global disaster" read the elementary school kids' report according to an article in the Portland Press Herald on June 14, 2007. Remember, these are fourth graders issuing a dire global warming report. (LINK)

And this agenda of indoctrination and fear aimed at children is having an impact.

Nine year old Alyssa Luz-Ricca was quoted in the Washington Post on April 16, 2007 as saying:

"I worry about [global warming] because I don't want to die." (LINK)

The same article explained: "Psychologists say they're seeing an increasing number of young patients preoccupied by a climactic Armageddon."

I was told by the parent of an elementary school kid last spring who said her daughter was forced to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" once a month at school and had nightmares about drowning in the film's predicted scary sea level rise."

We need to write our senators and tell them what we think of global warming and to STOP funding attempts to try to stop something that is a hoax. Read Inhofe's speech. He has the facts and the proof.

The British judge was astute enough to instruct schools that the film should not be shown without adult supervision.

I think, if not for political correctness, he would have gone on to say that the children should not see Al Gore without supervision.

So, the film is rated R and it was made by a man who should be treated as a pedophile.

Of course, the communist teachers union in the US along with the ACLU would never allow such good sense to prevail on American soil.

I have told his people in person like the issues on Turkey, fight the war to win, Islam used in our public places where Christan's can not and also selling out to Mexico along with Turkey and the boarder guards in jail for doing what our law says and to stop the amnesty and illegals.

And I pay them all a visit to let them know their is the religious right that will not bend over.

Al Gore isn't lying about climate change. No one in the scientific community thinks that global warming isn't true. Furthermore, you can't unbias yourself when you present an argument no matter how objective you'd like to be. Banning political indoctrination sounds a lot like a liberal, which from your question, I'm guessing you are not.

Without political indoctrination how would get anyone to believe in "man made global warming"? Indoctrination is the most effective way to get people to believe in something unproven.

Nope as a matter of fact I encouraged my kids to watch it and discuss it, and there were only 9 points in dispute and I certainly find the rest to be QUITE ACCURATE so I'm all in favor of it being shown, also I don't believe in censorship like the right wing wacko's do

I would expect if a work just like Gore's were to come out by someone from the other side that they would equally be willing to show it. Since no such work exists (because it can't due to lack of facts half or otherwise).

The movie is a source of knowledge, including the points that are not "proven" science. As long as the other side is presented, there is no reason to gripe. I wonder if you spend any time whatsoever listening to the "other side." I suspect you don't get much beyond Limbaugh and Hannity.
