"The bottom line is if videos that are biased such as "An Inconvenient Truth" are shown in a public school the opposing view should also be presented to the students so that they can make their own choice of what they believe."
And most damningly...
"So if you are going to show propaganda explaining one side of such a highly debated issue or science you should be obligated to show an opposing view."
No words put in your mouth other than you own.

Sorry Lanny I still do not see one quote there where I said that "Holocaust deniers deserve equal time to air their side of the story as well" I was talking about environmentalism and this debate in specific. But I really love how you manage to paint all issues with the same brush.

Ahhh, yet again resorting to the typical Lanny insults when someone doesn't agree with your position. You seem to like to try to insult peoples intelligence don't you? These attacks really are pointless, especially when talking about intelligence as it is nearly impossible to determine if one person is more intelligent than another on a chat board.

The science is continually researched and worked on, so it is continually being improved and data sets continually expanded. The theory is becoming more and more of a "fact" than many like to admit, and THAT is what should concern us the most.
What are you talking about??? Scientists continue to study this issue using independent research techniques and they continue to come up with similar data. But in your expert opinion they are not treating it appropriately???? What else do they need to do? Abandon their research and start all over again? What are you suggesting??? What is your point???

I'm not talking about gravity, and to be perfectly honest I didn't know that anyone questioned the science of gravity. That being said who am I to judge if some people want to try to spend there time questioning gravity. There is a lot of research being done on the theory. I agree with that. What does concern me is that more and more research is being done to continue to try to prove that it exists instead of trying to disprove it.
