Director vs. Bush



Just saw it! Good one Thumb Up

Directed by the German Roland Emmerich (The Patriot, Independence Day), who says:
• Some studios wanted to implement a hero like Bruce Willis to stop the catastrophe with a laser pistol.
• The Americans are the worst polluters of the world
• It is unbelievable how America has changed since the last elections. My sister and me ask ourselves whether it wouldn't be better to return to Germany. On the other side, we hope for better times.
• Europe nowadays is 3-4 more democratic than the US.

the whole world is at fault, but as with many things in life, the powers that be will do nothing untill 'they themselves' are threatened...dickheads!

Fatpie, it's a disaster movie, not the works of Popper. It does exactly what it says on the tin and is highly enjoyable.

1) Politics is everywhere
2) This _IS_ a politic-critical movie (with many sfx though)
3) This is a "Day after tomorrow thread" and that's what the director had to say about this movie. But he also said that there's a big difference between government and the normal people. The normale people rule, but unfortunately the government rules!

nice one



I liked the movie pretty much.
Even though it's just another catastrophie movie, which makes it more or less predictable, it's a nice one, at least the humankind has to face something that was created by itself more or less rather than some aliens or asteroids.
However I have a question:
when Jack Hall finally reaches the NY city, how come he enters it from the Statue of Liberty side? Wasn't he supposed to come from the continental side? I am a bit confused What the...?
Another point in favour of the movie is that it might raise the awarness of people of the global warming. Even though I doubt the lobal warming will have such drastic effects as shown in the movie, it doesn't mean nothing should be done about it.

I'd say the problem is not that America pollutes most but that now it is unwilling to do anything about it. The government ignores all evidence that such thing as global warming exists at all and tries to create an impression that all the fuss about it is just an attempt to lure money from the country.

Indeed



America is so dependant on fuel that if you try to invoke some sort of cut down of polution the money involved to do it would be massive. And what do companies want to hold onto more than anything? Money!

catch 22 methinks.

Typical business attitude:
"Hmm spend money and heal the planet or not give a damn and carry on as normal cause by the time the world suffers i'll be dead? duh!"

Did some research this time...



China and Russia are the leading polluters of the world according to good ol jeeves! So its not the US we probably come in at 3rd. but the point is that the pollution of the world is not as bad as the crazies make it out to be. the fact is that burning fossil fuels recycles the carbon dyoxcide in the atmosphere. we need to do it to breathe. its a proven scientific fact. if we didn't recycle the carbon dioxcide we would eventually all suffacate. now it would take awhile but it would happen.

That's the reason why he backed out of the Kyoto treaty I suppose. And pressured the National Academy of Sciences to alter the results of their investigation in favour of what the administration needs to hear, so that people would think that

Sorry, could you rephrase?

What kind of pollution?

Just as radioactive bombs recycle the Uranium?

oh cmon



im frustrated as you can tell with you. its a scientific proven fact. listen to me. you cannot argue with that. your being irrational and wont back down. i have backed down to you before. why cant you agree with me just once.

What evidence?



How about this scientific proven fact?



(before looking at this next one remember that I didn't make the site! It only mentions Bush because he is the president at the moment. I believe Clinton was guilty of polluting too.)


Also I would like to point out that carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and when too much of it produces it causes too much heat to be held in by the planet's atmosphere and thus global warming occurs

here's a simple matter-of-fact explanation:

I am willing to listen, I simply wanted you to give me more of the data you have from Jeeves.
