Disagree. They are the strong side. But those qualities will always pose as a threat to the status quo.Uniqueness and individuality are not the strong side of society...

Greta Thunberg springs to mind.

OnlyLiveTwice: Do you see yourself as a leader, a follower, a rebel or a survivor?
You don't have to be a leader to make a change...Start with yourself and don't look back to see if someone follows...
That's what I do...

I agree with you! Start with yourself and don't look back to see if someone follows...

As Ghandi once said "be the change you want to see in the world".
Those who wish to follow, WILL.

germanspitz: Greta Thunberg springs to mind.
Greta has never had to deal with anything remotely difficult or dangerous. The words 'first world problem' spring to mind!------ This thread is Archived ------
snowlynx: And a good morning to you too!
Indeed she hasn't had to deal with anything remotely difficult. All she does is mouth slogans, which the dim witted like yourself find exciting. Compare her easy life to that of the girl that is the subject of this conversation, the almost incredible bravery of her. If she could see Greta now she would laugh. Go and learn some history, get some historical perspective.
When last were you nominated for a Nobel Peace prize?Indeed she hasn't had to deal with anything remotely difficult. All she does is mouth slogans, which the dim witted like yourself find exciting.

So you think being nominated for the Nobel Peace prize means she has had to face anything difficult in her life?....some winners of that prize have risked their lives to bring peace to their countries.------ This thread is Archived ------
The intelligent Greta has Aspergers..Leave the kid alone!~
Asperger’s is a neurological disorder that is considered to be a mild form of autism. Its symptoms are less severe than those of autism. Many people with Asperger’s are often considered to have above-average cognitive skills but struggle to maintain their attention. Unlike children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, who lack an ability to focus, children with Asperger’s focus obsessively on specific and often unusual topics. This is why many people with the disorder are able to become experts on niche topics. Children and adults with Asperger’s have been described as socially awkward and lacking social maturity. However, most of them can perform day-to-day tasks and are able to function capably without intervention.

snowlynx: Why are you making this about me? I thought we were talking about the brave young woman in question? Don't deflect, stick to the issue. I may not be perfect but at least I'm not dim witted like you.
Greta is no mover or shaker she is a kid who is being manipulated and her parents should be ashamed of themselves for letting this happen to her. I would fear for her mental health down the line if she keeps being exposed like this.------ This thread is Archived ------

Yes, it is about you. You come on to a thread about heroes and heroines who have put their reputations and lives on the line for justice and the benefit of humanity, and all you can do is parrot the right-wing criticism about global warming. That says a lot about you. So yeah, it is about you.

OnlyLiveTwice: This sort of heroism is ageless. Ethics, principles and morals. It's the only thing that separates us from grunting beasts foraging in the fields.
Could you clarify, do you mean the grunting beasts on CS????------ This thread is Archived ------

Ok, you do that because I know you aspired to be a biologist...I'll applaud the fighters and the Joan d'Arcs who man the barricades and challenge the status quo.

There have been truly amazing people that have done and given so much, people like Fred Hollows for example. How many here have heard of him? or the great work being done in his name afetr his passing? Or how many impoverished people have had their sight saved, when he could just as easily sought personal wealth... But hey, lets talk about a kid skipping school in protest about an issue with no solution, at her film maker parents behest in a grab for fame... Yes, she has a point we could all listen to, we did. Now what?

Those same biologists are the new Joan of arc, cause that's what matters today, don't you think...?! We all are well informed anyway... Telling me what I already know doesn't even remotely puts you on the same level as Joan...I'll applaud the fighters and the Joan d'Arcs who man the barricades and challenge the status quo.
