These are points she raises, & valid ones...they happen in our society...& we enable it, yet we dont do anything about it...
Nobody is telling anybody to take her political views as their own...
I mean really...im beginning to think its of no surprise we cant screw on a suppressor if we have to argue the look of a point, rather than the point itself...
Well im obviously not going to go & start my own forum...because i got no money & i suck at IT anyway...

I lean neither right nor left but call out bs equally. When I see it
If you're taking your cues from a 15 year old you need to broaden your horizons. This is what political commentary has come to? If she rolled that monologue out in a high school debate she'd be laughed off the lectern.
Talk about dumbing down the conversation

After 58 years on this rock, there is only one thing I'm certain of, and that is that the level of stupidity in tomorrows (and the next day and so on) headlines will prove that even if I were to live for an other hundred years, I would never see just how stupid the people of this world are.
You have to remember that this youngster (and Greta, to a certain extent) are living though and experiencing this right now, so her opinions do somewhat matter.
David Hogg, now there's a name that hasn't been discussed in a while.

Trekkin...I wasnt suggesting her opinions dont matter...
& im not sure how you get that from what i said...
I agree with the points she raise & the sentiment she carries...
I also may have been trying to steer a non sensicle arguement back to discussion around the OP...rather than that which others try to make it into...
