    You are stifled by your inability to see the signs out there......So...she has Asperger...what are your excuses for not seeing whats going on....?
    Since when does how a person look.....depends on weather they are delivering some truth or not?
    Is our society so sterile now that you have to look beautiful and ***y to be listened too?

    Well said dubbag! You see my point why i think this messageboard is going downhill? You only have to read the bitter views opinions that are just on this thread alone. No doubt i’ll be told where to go.

    If I was sat at home watching a tv series every week and it caused me to constantly moan I’d probably stop watching it. I do accept that everyone has different views and opinions but the majority of your posts seem to be critical of this board / it’s members rather than adding to the debate.

    You don’t contribute but whinge about the board going down. In comparison with other boards ( look at Vile ) our board has kept a lot of posters and still visiting supporters post like Acido and WCV - actually more times than you!

    Good for Greta but it’s so obvious it’s all rehearsed even though she has Aspergers. My daughter is passionate about recycling and completed a school project on this. I don’t want to dampen my daughters enthusiasm about her passion but she has a whole range of other learning subjects which she must focus on. Maybe Greta’s parents would be better off taking this burden off her shoulders and as adults may be listened to more, than a kid who has clearly been given a script.

    What next - a kid with a passion for gender neutral signs telling the educational world to be more sensitive with it/they communication!

    Don’t get me wrong, I only pointed out she has aspergers to highlight the reason that she might be obsessed by a subject, this young lady has real courage and her oratory skills are fantastic for someone so young .

    I did think what mick said was funny , I find that kind of humour tickles me . But I do admire this young lady and the truth she speaks shames us all . But hopefully it shames the right people, trump etc.. as I fear the likes of us can not affect this pending disaster.

    My comment re Asperger's had nothing to do with her ability to think for herself or see the effects of planetary change. It was a genuine concern for her ('pronoun' dependent) mental wellbeing. I couldn't give a toss that she looks like except for when she's in distress. She's clearly distressed about where we're heading and that distress is only going to be exacerbated in stressful situations afforded by conference crowds and the media spotlight. All I was saying was I hope her parents know when to be there for her as everyone needs a break, and no I wasn't referring to a weekend away in Barcelona .

    I'm growing older by the second Dubbs, but I'm certainly not bitter .
