  1. Don't misquote me. It's against the rules. If you make a disparaging comment about a young activist with a disability you have exposed your attitude for the world to see.
  2. She doesn't have to change any minds. She only has to encourage people not to vote for politicians who resist climate change. That's her main message and she's wildly successful at it. Every fool knows you can't change the mind of a zealot climate change denier.
  3. This thread is about climate change. You made your opinion clear.
  4. Her accomplishments including bring greater awareness to the climate change crisis and calling out those who work against change. The fact that climate change deniers like you know who she is is a definite achievement.
  5. I kno0w exactly what your beliefs are. You couldn't have made them plainer.
  6. What about the GT bashing? Is that not at least equivalent? If you can't avoid mentioning her name when discussing climate change then you deserve derision.
  7. I do, yes. Greta Thunberg is a principled young woman with a disability. Unless you can articulate some issue with her message and not her then I would suggest you are behaving like a kindergarten child. And that's the kindest view I can offer..
  8. You can't reason with a religious or political zealot. Climate change deniers walk among us.
  9. Is the Wagner Group part of the Russian army?
  10. We needn't idolize people for becoming rich. He did have a good voice and I understand why people like him. He wasn't my favourite genre.
  11. No, it's the obstruction aspect. That's the difference that matters.
  12. Slow learner, just like Dad.
  13. No sympathy. He has form and so knows what the consequences would be. He just can't help running off his foul mouth. And he's a dimwit. I think he must have been auditioning for a gig somewhere on a hate site.
  14. Of course you can say what you think. You have that right. But the issue here is that other people have the right to say what they think about what what you think. They also have the right to spend their money where they want.
  15. Do you know if the recipients are receiving emails that you send?
  16. Here is the "whole story". Walking Street. 04:30 AM. Continued aggression. Uncooperative with police the following morning. An innocent person or one who felt he was unduly provoked would cooperate with police.
  17. Because the Ukrainians soldiers who manned them would probably become mince meat. Have you seen what the Ukrainians did to the old Soviet tanks? Thousands of them destroyed along with their crews. They need modern tanks.
  18. Russian flags banned at Australian Open tennis after Ukraine complaint https://www.rawstory.com/russian-flags-banned-at-australian-open-tennis-after-ukraine-complaint/
  19. The GOP appear to have an aversion to background checking in their headlong rush to grab power at any cost and by any means possible. Christian nationalists think all will be great again once they’ve done away with liberalism—ignoring the centuries of horrific violence that led the West there in the first place. https://www.thedailybeast.com/anti-liberalism-in-us-will-only-lead-to-violence?ref=scroll
  20. We can all be thankful we were born on the "right side of the railway tracks".
  21. They were not Homo Sapiens. H.S. migrated to Europe from Africa about 200,000 years ago and successive waves came from the Middle East as recently as 15,000 years ago. The salient point is that white people aren't really that white. By reanalysing human skull fragments discovered four decades ago in Greece, an international team of researchers now believe that an early modern human migration out of Africa may have reached Europe by at least 210,000 years ago. This pushes back the known date of Homo sapiens in the region by more than 150,000 years. https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/news/2019/july/modern-humans-may-have-been-in-europe-150-000-years-earlier-than.html
  22. It depends on how you define "humans". My most accounts you are way off the mark. I know I'm sounding like a cracked record but where's your link?
  23. I never did like Elvis. Maybe a bit before my time. I preferred Eric Burden, Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix.
  24. Off topic but the Philippines never went after the drug kingpins, only the poor who were struggling to survive in one of the poorest countries in the world.
  25. As a native speaker of British English I would not suggest that either spelling is superior.
