    I'll ask this like I ask every climate change denier: what is the political or economic upside to peddling a climate change hoax?
    Ok *** First*** of all I'm not a climate change denier...so a great way to --->JUDGE<--- but whatever!..........................maybe you should ask that question yourself...
    not judging, just making an observation based on comments. fine, then why do you call her a political puppet?
    You make a --->JUDGEMENT<--- then deny it but whatever!...observation?...are you serious?...anyway I asked you a question
    Why bother coming here and commenting if you don't want to have a conversation.
    Are you on drugs or just dillusional?
    I can't speak for dignin, but I plan on being on drugs later. 
    I plan on eating some dillusional brownies and watching Sound and Fury on Netflix tonight.
    Still ignoring my question...throw around *petty* remarks but can't back them up...hmmmmm?

    "The haters are as active as ever", the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist posted on social media on Thursday, "going after me, my looks, my clothes, my behaviour and my differences". Anything, she says, rather than talk about the climate crisis."

    Maybe, but haters are weak and she's tough enough to not let it slow her down.  Right on, girl.

    Well to be fair, it's pretty transparent that posters feel the need to actively come in here and attack (a 16 year old girl). And, with that - trying to dance around it with other reasons for the behaviour is easily seen through also.

    You need to watch this on repeat and rid yourself of this sexism of yours. It's just icky. (It's 2019 after all):

    I feel sad that some men have to use these terms in order to feel strong and manly, and equally so when some women have to diminish their own gender in order to feel cool and “part of the gang” and use those words too. We don’t need more oppression in this world; rather, we need to start making people feel valued and appreciated. Again, it starts with something as easy as thinking twice about what we say.

    EVERYONE can believe or not believe in a God or whatever name you give that means faith in something bigger.  I totally respect your opinion and have felt that way also many times. It was really just my way of saying how scummy the world is sometimes.

    RE. the video- I like it make- makes some good points.   This is a totally different subject (maybe worthy of its own thread?) but interesting to me because I saw so much change during the late 60's into 70's women's liberation movement.  Women became strong then.  Daughters refused to become subservient domestic laborers in a family run by the man like so many of their mothers had been.  They started demanding equal pay.  They went back to school.  They threw away the whole Barbie doll image.

    And then it started all over again in our culture.  Not for all, surely not as wide-spread as during the G.I. generation (although my G.I. gen mom became liberated), but it happened again- a lot with the baby doll looks, the whiny voices, trying to be a sex symbol as opposed to being a beautiful natural woman.  Not all girls and women, mind you, but way more than I would have expected after women's lib.  That video is right on.

    I guess women’s lib is not enough about them choosing to do whatever they want to do.  I feel girls today feel that. And those ladies of the movement made it a reality for them. Still more to do for sure in equality. But man are the choicest so much better.

    This would be true.  However man up and don't reference a cat.  We all know what you meant and that word is fine to use.  People offended by that use of word need to grow thicker skin.  It is 2019 but come on.
