2020 Democrats tout Thunberg UN speech: 'This is why we need young people leading the climate justic

[LMAO]

That's what America needs. A couple of teenager idiots dictating world policy.
Let me talk to them when they are 40, have a couple of kids and a mortgage.
Let's see how they feel then?

One of the joys of being in your youth is you are more shielded from the real world.

I have a hunch as time goes on and they mature, many of those who are in this march will look back at those days and chuckle

[Chosen Daughter]

Actually she's sixteen right now.

It's absolutely disgusting how her parents and the left in this country are using her in this manner and as a shield from any criticism of their green/communist plans for the world and our country.

It is disgusting.  Her Swedish actor father.  Its Sweden's Hollywierd.

They're only in it for the money.

They are going to be very rich.

I wonder if all the "children" who are clamoring to save the planet are willing to walk to school instead of taking the bus or getting rides from their parents? Are they willing to use bicycles to get there? How many of them are willing to sit in unheated classrooms in winter and over heated classrooms in warmer months? Are they willing to give up their cell phones, tablets, televisions and computer games? If so then kudos to them.

That is an amazingly astute question, @LottieDah .

If these little brainwashed, spoiled kids even had to go back to being in school in a small town in the 1950's, and going home to watch a 19 inch black and white Philco with three channels and not a thing on after midnight, they'd crack.

I'm guessing that not one of the protesters could handle being a kid when we were kids........

I am sorry to hear about your son,but in his case he has someone looking out for him that is concerned about his health and future. I am not convinced that is the case with that girl.

Thanks.  We took him off the meds and he's still on the skinny side (family genetics) but hes as tall as I am no and no one mistakes him for anything but a grown man LOL!.

What these people are doing with this 16 year old Sweedish girl is nothing less than child abuse.

[Wingnut]

How long before this mentally Ill child receives A coveted Nobel .

Sweden's Greta Thunberg surely will be nominated.  She is a white swede version of obama.  A nothing.

[truth_seeker]

Some of it could be the meds she’s on too. My son was on ADHD meds and some of them really restrict growth and weight gain.  We took him off of them in 7th grade at his request because a) he couldn’t make the 80lb weight limit to play tackle football and b) “I’m tired of people thinking I’m a 4th grader”.

@txradioguy
1. Apparently you initially approved of the drugs. How did they convince you for that?

2. Since he is off them, how is it working out?

Hoping for a good ending for you and your son.

Since this is on the wrong side of the child abuse border,it would really be interesting to find out who in the Dim Party approved her appearances and is paying her travel and living expenses,wouldn't it?

ESPECIALLY if she went somewhere to give a speech and her handlers were arrested for child abuse by a local sheriff that doesn't give a damn about stepping on toes.

@sneakypete
Greta has several big name supporters who fund her. I think I read Soros was one of them.

[berdie]

Greta is eleven years old and has gone two months without eating. Her heart rate and blood pressure show clear signs of starvation. She has stopped speaking to anyone but her parents and younger sister, Beata.
After years of depression, eating disorders, and anxiety attacks, she finally receives a medical diagnosis: Asperger’s syndrome, high-functioning autism, and OCD. She also suffers from selective mutism—which explains why she sometimes can’t speak to anyone outside her closest family. When she wants to tell a climate researcher that she plans a school strike on behalf of the environment, she speaks through her father.

Greta is not alone in her mental suffering, according to the book. Her sister Beata, who was 12 when the book was written, lives with ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome, and OCD. She is prone to sudden outbursts of anger, during which she screams obscenities at her mother.

Thank you for that information @austingirl .  I have wondered. When I look at her she sure doesn't look her age. But I guess that's a good thing for the people that are promoting her. Sad.

It is always safe to assume that anyone that is an anarchist, or one that demonstrates against something, George Soros is dumping millions into the coffers.

The USA needs to negotiate an extradition treaty with Hungary, and then Soros can be deported to Hungary where he is wanted for some pretty serious crimes!

Initially I was ok with it because it was a low dose and it was actually helping him.  Change duty stations change docs and their viewpoint on how much and what med should pe prescribed and pretty soon it was out of control.  He asked to come off of them and we didn't object.  Just decided to control it with diet (less sugar etc).

He'd done pretty good.  He's 22 now.  Found out that not all of his behavior was ADHD related (dxylexia as we found out in HS was some of it as well.)

He's a productive member of society so it's going well for him.
