    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.
    I fucking love that video that SC posted. 
    Well to be fair, people can be pissed at adults holding a child up as some hero. So really some may be in that boat, but not necessarily everyone.
    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. 
    Huh? Don’t be a pussy. Name names of you feel the need to attack someone. 


    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.

    I'll leave you and the others to duke it out, but I'm open to hearing what issues you have with Greta Thunberg if you don't mind my asking?

    Me?  Hell no.  But my friends and I absolutely use Benjs and your words without hesitation and no one is insulted.  
    Just curious. Honest question.

    Would your response differ in any way if this was about the word "faggot" in the 90s?

    Or the n-word in the 60s?

    Or about owning slaves or not in the 1800s?

    Maybe it's a good thing people point things out? Evidently it's needed when there are people who choose to fall back on the ignorance of "well me and my friends all use it and no one is insulted" instead of embracing and being open to progress.

    Rather than provoke, let's give i_love_it a chance to explain why he has issues with this.  Obviously, I think Greta is great, but I want to be open minded enough to hear what others have to say.

    They were free to explain their position but chose to insult everyone instead.

    Not worth anyone's time, except maybe for a laugh.

    I have not personally been insulted by i_love_it.    I'm willing to listen to what i_love_it has to say on the subject, so I asked.  Anyone not interested hearing what he has to say can always opt to not respond here. 

    I really don't understand the point of keeping the spin cycle going.  I'm not here to get tangled up in these ridiculous  back-and-forth arguments that go nowhere. That kind of bullshit is why a lot of people avoid this place.  If I ask a question and get no answer or the response is off topic or aggressive, I just move on.  Who the hell has time for these quarrelsome little spats anyway?

    look back at the thread, brian. we legitimately tried to find out the issues this person has with greta. all we got back was insults. this person even trolled me for it in another separate thread. So yes, I moved on.

    I fucking love that video that SC posted. 
    Well to be fair, people can be pissed at adults holding a child up as some hero. So really some may be in that boat, but not necessarily everyone.
    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. 
    Huh? Don’t be a pussy. Name names of you feel the need to attack someone. 


    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.

    I'll leave you and the others to duke it out, but I'm open to hearing what issues you have with Greta Thunberg if you don't mind my asking?

    Rather than provoke, let's give i_love_it a chance to explain why he has issues with this.  Obviously, I think Greta is great, but I want to be open minded enough to hear what others have to say.
    They were free to explain their position but chose to insult everyone instead.

    Not worth anyone's time, except maybe for a laugh.
    I have not personally been insulted by i_love_it.    I'm willing to listen to what i_love_it has to say on the subject, so I asked.  Anyone not interested hearing what he has to say can always opt to not respond here. 

    I really don't understand the point of keeping the spin cycle going.  I'm not here to get tangled up in these ridiculous  back-and-forth arguments that go nowhere. That kind of bullshit is why a lot of people avoid this place.  If I ask a question and get no answer or the response is off topic or aggressive, I just move on.  Who the hell has time for these quarrelsome little spats anyway? 
    look back at the thread, brian. we legitimately tried to find out the issues this person has with greta. all we got back was insults. this person even trolled me for it in another separate thread. So yes, I moved on. 
    Classic projection...
    Take the trolling somewhere else.

    of course they can, if they stick to the issue. most are just slinging mud at her looks or her asperger's.

    Yup, not cool. 

    You know, I didn’t even know until recently about the Asperger. When I first saw it I thought it was just a mean thing to say and wasn’t even true.

    I asked you why you thought she was a political puppet. 
    your response was "maybe you should ask yourself that question". how on earth is that a question I'm supposed to answer?
    then your "question" to dignin was "are you on drugs or dillusional". I think we all assumed that was obviously mostly an attack and rhetorical. 
    I don't know what question you asked SC. 
    yes, i said your "questions" were nonsense because they weren't questions and made no sense. 

    But if you want to make such a claim (Greta being a political puppet), be prepared to answer it. Otherwise......

    I didn't know about it either, I mean, I don't think asperger's is something you can really pick out by physical appearance, is it? I don't know enough about it.

    although I was surprised to learn she was 16. my 13 year old looks older than her, but that's neither here nor there anyway.
