Miss Greta Tonight

[Samuraisan]

Anybody going to watch ?

[jno]

probably not, I don't watch much TV, but I'd be proud to have her as my daughter. Imagine, a teenager who gets out and does something rather than yammering on social media all day (which so many "grown-ups" seem to think is all kids do).

[burlyshirley]

Definitely not.

It's so painful to be confronted with hard truths, especially when the confronter is younger than you. Kids are a pain, and should pipe down. You oldsters will be out of it all soon, so you don't give a t**s. You had no reason to anticipate the future when you were kids and you haven't caught up with the way things are going. You really should listen; the times they are a-changin'. End of lecture.

Apart from hogging the media limelight what has she actually achieved? This guff about 'highlighting' climate change means what, precisely?

[Bobbisox1]

Jno, she's being worked by her eco parents , I feel sorry for her ,if anything

[burlyshirley]

18:30 thank God that was the end of your lecture.

[Atheist]

Paign... what have you achieved? Why is she expected to achieve things? She's just expressing her views.

[Atheist]

Thanks, Burly... Sorry if I bored you. Do you dislike Greta? And if so, why?

[Jackdaw33]

The pigtail alone puts me right off.

"Apart from hogging the media limelight what has she actually achieved? This guff about 'highlighting' climate change means what, precisely?"

Made some people aware of some problems?
... "but she's just a kid, she's being used!" (like many of us were, and many still are )

Jackdaw; your post sums up your concern for rational discussion.

[andy-hughes]

If I want teenage opinions, as passionately held as they are uninformed, my oldest grandson has more than enough and is always delighted to share.

[Jackdaw33]

^^ As if I give a hoot about your bizarre opinions.

[Atheist]

Andy; very patronising and dismissive of people younger than you. You might have been jejune in your youth, but not everybody is like that. You might be a bit bitter in your old age?

[gness]

Well I expected the usual...why should we listen to young people comments.
But not from you, Andy. Thought you had more about you.

[teacher1]

Will she be wearing new clothes?

[burlyshirley]

^ Ha! Ditto ..

[burlyshirley]

^ To JD.

Confirms my comment about your intellectual level?

[Atheist]

Mind you, apparently jackdaws are very intelligent! They can use twigs as tools, and can push levers if they get a reward!
