Movie Review: "An Inconvenient Truth"

In Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" he shows the viewers how they are affecting their world and the consequences if they don't make a change. Gore points out many causes of Global Warming which is the main focus of this documentary. He does a great job at displaying the evidence using things such as graphs, charts, and maps. He also uses personal stories and experiences to help the audience sympathise with him.

Gore gives many different pieces of evidence to help the audience understand the effects that they have on there planet. He talks about the recent output of carbon dioxide gasses into our atmosphere which is causing the delicate protective layer to thin. The rays of sun are coming in but because of green house gasses all of them can't exit as usual. The rays are kept in the atmosphere which warms the earth, soon changing climates and temperature fluctuations all over the earth.

Gore also talks about the effect this warming effect has on the animals on our planet. More than ever, animals are going extinct because of environmental changes that we as humans have caused. The Polar Bears are drowning because the ice caps are thinning and disappearing all together, giving them nowhere to rest. Humans are animals too and if they wait to long the melting glaciers would cause all of our sea levels to rise 20 feet threatening millions of people.

Still, some people fail to see what they're doing to the Earth. Some just ignore it because, "they'll be dead when it gets really bad", which is the wrong attitude. Gore points out that scientists have studied the rapidly changing temperatures and discovered that our Earth could go into another ice age in the next 10-50 years if people don't act to protect our world.

Gore accurately gives the information to the audience in order to educate them on the issue of Global Warming. He does a great job in this film and you can tell that he did his research for this one. This is a very creditable film with almost no bias. The fact are laid out on the table and Gore shows viewers how to interpret the data. This is a truly powerful film that really gets to the viewers, because it effects them and their future on this Earth.

Gay Marriage is bad!!!...LOL

These are some hilarious reasons why Gay Marriage would be a BAD idea...
1)Homosexuality is not natural, much like eyeglasses, polyester, and birth control are not natural.
2)Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children. Infertile couples and old people cannot get legally married because the world needs more children.
3)Obviously gay parents will raise gay children because straight parents only raise straight children.
4)Straight marriage will be less meaningful, since Britney Spears's 55-hour just-for-fun marriage was meaningful.
5)Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and it hasn't changed at all: women are property, Blacks can't marry Whites, and divorce is illegal.
6)Gay marriage should be decided by the people, not the courts, because the majority-elected legislatures, not courts, have historically protected the rights of minorities.
7)Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are always imposed on the entire country. That's why we only have one religion in America.
8)Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people makes you tall.
9)Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage license.
10)Children can never succeed without both male and female role models at home. That's why single parents are forbidden to raise children.
11)Gay marriage will change the foundation of society. Heterosexual marriage has been around for a long time, and we could never adapt to new social norms because we haven't adapted to cars or longer lifespans.
12)Civil unions, providing most of the same benefits as marriage with a different name are better, because a "separate but equal" institution is always constitutional. Separate schools for African-Americans worked just as well as separate marriages will for gays & lesbians.

>>>Don't Hate, Tolerate<<<

My blog is now making a final turn towards what will be the subject matter in the rest of my entries. Gay rights are as real now as civil rights were back in the 60's. Gays are being harassed, discriminated against, and killed all across the world because of their sexual orientation. I thought America was a "Free Country"...but I guess it's not if it can't give equal rights to everyone. The big factor that feeds this aggression is the fact that people have been taught wrong on the subject of homosexuality. They think being gay is by choice and that someone can just wake up one day and say "OK, I guess I can go back to being straight" and change back. No, they can't and most of the people who say that they've gone straight do it for other reasons such as religious beliefs or in fear of their families. Because, deep down inside they are only hurting themselves, hiding from the world, living a fake life. Don't hate, Tolerate.
