The world is not going to end in 12 years----that's obvious.

Just like it's obvious that the world wasn't created in 4004 BC.

And it was with KK's inocusloucious comment that the thread did thus descend into madness.

Yes, she is brave.
But can she cope emotionally with all the attention long term?
Recent podcasts suggest she is struggling.

The question you have to ask is if you, my sly, were the parent of a teenage daughter who was autistic as all hell, would you allow this f*****g circus to have started never mind carry it on?

Unless you had something to gain from all this, your daughter was a product, a money-terry gain.

I don't know much either way. Whether climate change is happening and is bad ,or is not something to be worried about.

What I do notice is some of her facial expressions which ,to me at least, come over as showing a lot of anger . I think that could have a negative effect when it comes to getting those who are sceptical about climate change on side.

For some people, it might end in 12 years time,
If they are a megasaurus or have a failing heart,
But for the vast majority, "I don't think so Tim". :mrgreen:

For once, we agree. :wink:

Because she is a f*****g child and shouldn't be put under this spotlight.

It's sick as hell, regardless of whether you agree with what she has to say.

We need to stop her parents and protect this young lass.

Erm, didn't you call her a female genital,
Twice?
And now you are protecting her?
I'm confused by your dynamic position. :scratch: :mrgreen:

I did a word play joke.

She never saw it.

Do you see what I am saying?

Confusion happens when you don't make your position clear.
Wordplay or not, it was only natural to gravitate towards the belief you had a problem with her.

I made a wordplay at the time also.
I called her: Greta Aspberg,
Because she has Aspergers.
"Greta Thungenital" doesn't make sense other than to cast derision, from my POV.
How do you reconcile that?

BTW,
I don't have a problem with you and we are both adults who are above childish considerations.
I shrugged off your misogynistic reference like "water of a duck's back".

Since I am, indeed: "The Oracle of Truth",
It is your seeming lack of respect for truthfulness which I find intriguing.
As such, I will be studying you with, hopefully, efficacious results.
Continue as you were, hooman. :mrgreen:

I reconcile nothing.

Thundercunt is funny and shall always remain funny.

I still believe she is being used and exploited by her parents and care about her enough to wish that were not so.

Thor is also a thundercunt, and is a god.

If he does not mind my wordplay than why should anyone else?

I would not let my hypothetical under 18 year old daughter autistic or not do this. Massive fame and adulation have proven way too much for most adults who receive it never mind a teenager with diagnosed mental illnesses. I just can not see this ending well for Greta. She will not get everything she wants so will she will be on strike forever, or she will end the strike then what?

I don't see how the parents are gaining financially Greta is not endorsing a product or being paid for this.
IMHO there are two possible motives for this.
1. Ego
2. As way too many parents do today they falsely conflate being a parent with being a friend.

In my opinion it made a mockery of climate change fears to those who are skeptical of it. It put it in the same camp as a child being afraid of the bogyman hiding in their closet.

Personally, I think political activism is the driving force, bugger the truth of the situation.

But where is the link between your play on words and the subject matter?
Without a contextual connection, it is simply randomness.

I could call you: "BDavroPutz",
But that isn't making a political statement.
It is simply pointing out the bleeding obvious. :mrgreen:
