    That’s a different subject. “Virtue signalling “ is another one of those silly phrases used in a lame attempt to diminish people.

    My belief? That people in other places matter too?

    There is something to that. She no doubt has learned to fight back as well. I think it takes her about 3 minutes to turn a Trump tweet about her against him. She probably has help as does the dotard who should know better.

    Why would you even care? They are not American, or Christian, they are far away, and as your question infers they don't matter except to be the butt of your jokes.

    And just what is this "personal agenda" you would accuse her of having?

    The only people who include the p/c bag and sometimes risers are those who do not have a clue. They do it because it's the least amount of disassembly work. They later find out that they have given away hundreds of dollars worth of container parts. Usually when they try to sell the container and no one wants it because the expensive parts are missing.

    So, do you not realize that this right here is nothing but petty name calling simply being used to denigrate and minimize. You are using dismissive language because you do not care to argue your case in manner that will acknowledge anyone's point of view but your own. No one is taking advantage of her, she does not need your protection. She is promoting her beliefs and she has found a way to use the media. Good on her.

    You keep assuming that there is a left to criticize. It's pointless to accuse the left as though there are a group of people out there who all think the same. This is a thread about Greta what's her name. Apparently the way people react to her makes you angry. Your reaction to this makes me laugh. Greta has a message, she is young and immature and full of the foolishness that being young can bring. You on the other hand are exhibiting the foolishness of an angry adult.

    And..... another lame insult. The list of things that upsets you and makes you type nonsense on your keyboard just keeps on growing.

    Panic? There is no panic. There is only a slow methodical relentless push for progress. Fear? Well, fear of change is the definition of conservatism.

    And, there goes another angry rant from another angry white man who can't stand the change in society.

    Liberalism is a very broad term, as is conservatism. The message of Brexit and Boris is two fold. #1 is that people were sick and tired of the uncertainty. #2 is that although the original referendum was very close, in the end most English people who wanted it did not change their mind and some of those opposed did. It became easier and more sensible to just accept and move on. The people in Wales, Scotland and Ireland have more turmoil ahead.

    Well, not last time. Canada did quite well with strong banks and no housing crash after the US suffered the misfortune of uncontrolled capitalism called the great recession in 2008. About the most damaging thing that happened to us was the strengthening of the Loonie against Greenback. It was a party for a while but it damaged our exports.

    Maybe in Canada. There is no reason I can see to expect two quarters of negative growth in the US economy in that time frame. But hey, I'm just a truck driver. To be clear, just which quarters are you predicting will be negative growth?

    But, it makes great memes! The "how dare you" clip will be a classic for a long time.

    To you she is a troll. To her peers she is a leader. She and they are not "thinking of the children". They are thinking of their own future in their own lifetimes. It's almost like they are greedy right wingers!
  17. gowlerk
    Since when has equality been a goal?
  18. gowlerk
    So, you have nothing at all to say about her message? She is not relevant except as a target it seems. There have been more than one right winger here who objects to being characterized as being motivated by hatred. But it seems to be just fine for some.
  19. gowlerk
    So, what's with the name calling? She is not a troll, you just don't like her message. She is not being used, she is using. And she is using very well. Apparently she is doing it well enough that you would be reduced to insulting her instead of addressing her message. Why is that? Are you not smart enough?

    There has been a DZ at Elsinore since the beginning of time. Literally. I've only jumped there once, but I've never heard anyone say anything bad about it. It is a smaller operation than Perris, but still large by most people's standards. I would be surprised if there is a large price difference between them though.

    That is pretty much the most self centred and short sighted synopsis of the situation I have seen from you. We know, you don't give a shit about the future, you'll be dead. Got it.

    As usual Americans only look at what happened in America. What she is actually known for in the world is inspiring and leading school aged people to speak out and protest. The media did not invite her to speak at the UN they just covered it. She is bringing a large amount of attention to an issue that the American right wing is trying to sweep under the rug and ignore. Of course it is far too large for that tactic to work, so why not spread hate for the "rude" 16 yo who dares to challenge the men in dark suits?

    So, is Trump upset? IDK, but his campaign people posted this:

    And a Nobel Prize winning economist living in WV has more say than two hillbillys in Texas. The problem as I see it has nothing to do with who has the right to vote or how the votes are weighted in favour of less populated States. The problem is low turnout and low motivation coupled with and partially caused by deliberate suppression of voting. 54.9 percent voted in 2016, 55.5 in 2012. That small difference probably gave Trump the presidency. And by the way, a college graduate is more than twice as likely to vote as someone with less than a grade twelve education.

    Yup, what's the big deal? Why does she matter? It's simple, she matters because of the reaction she gets.
