Default Did anyone watch 6 degrees could change the world?

It wasnt nearly as good as i thought it would be, could of been put together much better. But, the message should be clear, we need to get our act together. Get a democrat in office, other countries are watching what we do and if we dont step forward they dont either.

Watched a few seconds. Seemed like propaganda.

So the underlying message of the show was, "vote for a democrat or the rest of the world won't like us"?

propaganda is used (for example during war) to rial up the country and great nationalism etc. This was used to educate the ornery public that refuse to look past the east and west coast of america.

It *was* propaganda. Whether you you agree with it or not, is up for debate.

Propaganda has many applications beyond wartime rhetoric. Virtually every political or social message utilizes propaganda; the quality and veracity of the message can be found in the extent to which it relies on propaganda.

The Widipedia has a pretty good section on propaganda, and close reading of it would be useful for anyone interested. Helps to make clear some of the styles of argument that you run across on occaision. Present company excepted, of course.....

I didn't see this show, but I did see something along those lines about a looming global catastrophe.

It was called "28 Days Later" and it provided a pretty stark look at the future.

I hope, if elected, President Obama will consider doing something about heading off this potential crisis.

I watched a show about one day the sun like any star will burn out, you think the Liberals can do something about that?

So are you saying that if next year was one degree warmer, on average, than this year, we'd all be in serious trouble?
