But there's breaking news...? Millions all giving up air travel, cars, meat, electricity, you name it...and sending this young girl all their money to make sure she no longer has to borrow clothing....since her life has been ruined, her childhood and dreams stolen...they want to be sure she forgives them before this mass extinction occurs....Amen, right?
( Most of us are just going to pray for this girl, who really has nothing to say but what she's been told by adults....)

Be sure to pray for Nick Sandmann, too. His parents claim his reputation's been ruined for life by the media.

Even better -- millions of kids will be voting next year. Two of the people* that Toxic Top screeches most about -- Greta (climate change) and David (Parkland shooting survivors) -- have energized an entire generation of young ppl their age. They won't be sitting home playing video games next year.

* Notice my wording: Toxic doesn't bother with issues and politics; she comes here solely to bash other ppl whether JPP posters or public figures. Issues, schmissues!

Hate her guts don't ya Toxic!
 
Slow night on here tonight. Speaking of Greta, if she's any kind of singer, maybe she can hook up with the band Greta Van Fleet. They're the band of young GUYS from Michigan that play Led Zeppelin sounding stuff and are quite good. They took their name to honor a woman from their town, HER name is Greta Van Fleet. Anyway, if the OTHER Greta could stop her climate change nonsense, she could join the rock group and they could call themselves Greta Greta Van Fleet. Just a thought. And if you like Led Zeppelin, check out Greta Van Fleet, if you haven't done so already.
 
Modern-day conservatism, especially the Republican Party, functions primarily as a protection racket for the fragile egos of mediocre white men. After witnessing the right-wing reaction to Greta Thunberg, the teenage climate activist from Sweden who spoke at the United Nations this week, there can be no doubt of this. The modern-day conservative was revealed, in all his glory, as a weak-minded coward who hides behind unearned privileges, because he is incapable of handling a fair-minded debate, much less real moral accountability.

IMO...describing them as mediocre is being way too kind.

Hello anonymoose,

Thanks for starting this thread. I was just considering one dedicated to this amazing young woman.

She is wise beyond her years.

And I don't blame her one bit.

Who wants to be brought into a world bent on self-destruction?



Anybody who is knowledgeable understands the 12 year timeframe was not until apocalypse. That is the estimated remaining time we have to turn our emissions around. The worst effects of climate change won't happen for a long time after that, because there is a delayed reaction.

You can't post any credible sources for science saying the end of the world happens in 2030. If you had it, you would have posted it.

And there is a hidden message here.

Since you can't even correctly quote what you are in denial of, that indicates there is a BS factor in your argument.

If you really had a good argument, you would not have to make things up about the opposing view. If your position was really superior all you would have to do to win the argument would be to clearly and succinctly state your 'invincible overwhelming position.' But you're not doing that. Instead you are making things up. That says something about your position, and it ain't good.

YEP, she's so "WISE" that she isn't able to answer questions that she hasn't been coached on. :palm:

Aw, isn't that cute? The "teacher" is SOOOOO concerned about young ppl missing a few hours of school... Ignoring, of course, the very valid reasons why millions around the world attended the Climate Strike gatherings.... because science is too hard when you're just the lunch room lady. :laugh:

I know you're disputing the messenger. I am not. She has the right to fear for her own future and to speak up regarding that future. I couldn't have ever imagined having the courage to do what she is doing, when I was 13. Would you be less offended if it were her Nokomis (grandmother) speaking?

OH, YEAH; she's so informed. :palm:

The anger of some towards a girl who is a climate change spokesperson for her age group reminds me of the similar hate directed towards the Parkland shooting survivors.

Here's some food for thought. Who better to address the issues facing the world that they will inherit from us? When we were their age, some of us worried about nuclear war, being drafted to die in the jungles of Vietnam, and/or the appalling environmental destruction going on all around us. Some of us protested, marched, wrote letters to our elected officials and to the opinion editors of our newspapers. We had loud, passionate voices like Greta's and David's. Those voices were heard, weren't they? No more draft, the VN war ended, nuclear proliferation was largely stopped, and the EPA was formed. Our planet is more peaceful and cleaner than it was back then, in part because we said something with millions of voices.

Is that what angers and scares you, that Greta's voice -- and the voices of millions of her fellow young people -- will be heard?

Why?
