Um... yeah, I'm confused.. why is showing this a bad thing? That's a science-based movie about how our current eco system isn't sustainable. That's not political opinion or religion, it's just fact that if we clear-cut the forest and throw it into a dump that eventually we'll run out of forests and run out of room for dumps.
Or did you think the baby Jesus will just clean it up for us?0 -

Umm, did you know that when we clear forests we grow a new one. Just because it wasn't naturally grown doesn't mean it's not a forest. Go wipe your ass with plastic and then complain.0 -
Facts? Shows what you know! 50% of all taxes to the military? 80% of forests are gone? And did she say fish are almost extinct? You call this facts?0

well, actually.. it does. A Forest isn't just a bunch of trees.... Old-growth forest isn't something that you can just plant in a couple of weeks. It takes generations to grow and foster a real forest.
And if you knew anything about anything you'd know that.
Not unlike how a bunch of people shouting and carrying signs because Fox News told them to isn't a "Grass Roots Movement."0 -

Fox News didn't tell anyone to protest! And how can you say that since you don't watch Fox? You keep making shit up!“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” Abraham Lincoln0 -

some parents, including black parents, don't want their kids looking up to him, period, and the way the song was written was to make him out like the dear leader..The teacher was out of line, there were better ways to teach about him without making it political. We are talking about 5 and 6 year old children here..in kindergarden I was thinking about colouring books, being an elf in the Christmas Parade, and eating paste.. Not politics and sex ed.
What is so wrong with the idea of letting children simply be children..Why do we want to make them grow up so damned fast..Post edited by Flutter Girl on0 -

about 10 days ago yahoo posted an article stating that the fish used for fish sandwiches at mcdonalds and other fast food restaurants actually are disappearing rapidly, so there is a basis for the concern shown in the video. i will try to find it and post it."You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln

1. Oh well if 100% of them BLACK people aren't behind him I guess it's ok for all us white folk to dislike him, eh Bertha?
2. He IS the leader. Of the country. Did you miss last November?
3. How do you teach about the president of he USA without it being "political?"
4. You apparently ate too much.
5. What does singing a song about the president have to do with sex ed? Or are you just being randomly hysterical about whatever happens to pop into your mind?0 -

That was pretty uncalled for. I wasn't attacking anyone...don't know why you felt a need to do so with me.
As to what you said...
1-You missed my point. If there is just one child whose parents do not want them to be taught that Obama is an inspirational figure, then that decision should be respected. It is not the public school system's place to decide how our children should be raised, and there are a lot of folks who don't like His morals and therefore do not want their children being taught that he is a good person. I do not understand why you called me Bertha?
2-I said the "dear leader" what most people would recognise as a reference to how children are taught to view various radical leaders, in this instance I was thinking of Fidel and Raul.
3-You can teach about government without making it political. In the sense of 'choose a side' type politics, like what is being heavily debated in this, and many other forums amoung adults.
5-During the campaign, and directly after being elected, Obama kept talking about how he wanted children as young as 5 to be taught what sex is in school.
I did not attack you, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from attacking me any further.0 -

You do know that what he spoke of in the campaign was that children should be educated on sexual predators so they know how to avoid being victims, right? Right? You're smart enough to know that, right?0 -

Again with an unnecessary tone. Are you guys incapable of a mature discussion?
Yes I am fully aware it was to do with sexual predators, but he clearly stated it would include teaching them what sex was...I cannot recall the exact words he used to sugar coat the description, if anyone could provide that?0
