Thunberg

You can only vote on one answer.
I know women mature faster but it strikes me that a seventeen (actually sixteen) year old being more grown up than the actual leader of the worlds most powerful country is weird.

N. B. Thunberg is the teenaged leader of the world school climate strike and the Donald is about 72.

I’m going to guess that Greta Thunberg has the maturity [i]not[/i] to behave like this:

@SatanBurger He blocked you because he knows you got him.

@Burnley123 I block people because I felt like it.

@SteelHands Your feelings don't care about facts.

Love it!! All these right wingers, getting their knickers in a twist, over a 16yr old kid!!
I can almost hear the "send her back" chants!! 🤷‍♀️

I see the Trump crowd, wants to reduce to this to: you hate Trump, instead of focusing on the issue at hand. How predictable.
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
They did analyze Trump's vocabulary once and said it was the equivalent of speaking at a fourth grade level so yeah Greta is a bit smarter and more rational by far. Trump has been suffering some neurological defects for a really long time though. I'm not saying that he has an illness but I do think he has stunted growth from when he was younger. If you look at the Atlantic article, a lot of what Trump does represents brain damage of some sort.

I'm being serious too:

Franklin D. Roosevelt covered up his paralysis by appearing to walk with a cane so that he could avoid appearing "weak and helpless." He tried to cover it up.

@SatanBurger LOL, like warren buffet, elon musk, jon huntsman, andy stern, mort zuckerman, jay penske, and mark DeRosa?
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@sunsporter1649 Still doesn't change the fact that Trump has a fourth grade vocabulary.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@SatanBurger Gee, they sure have improved 4th grade over the years, have they not?

Greta is a remarkable young lady! Donnie Two-Scoops, is going to be very, very sad at the crowds she draws! Oh my goodness!! I don't think it's maturity, she is still an innocent, it shows in her actions and behavior, that she has wonderful parents! 45 is of absolutely no value compared to her. Only the ignorant see him as mature. He's a bully, she is not. She is a child, he an adult. The sad thing is, we are even talking about this...never thought I would be considering comparing a President to a little girl, amazing and yet, she is the mature one...amazing!

@WalksWith My favorite nickname for Trump is the White Pride Piper 🤣

She addressed a UN panel, she was 15. I heard her interviewed, and was listening to her speech today, in English.

This must be a trick question :-)

Trump just calls people names and attacks those who hurt his feelings.
Piper · 61-69, F
Based on what I've seen and heard of Greta Thunberg, she is quite a level-headed and eloquent young woman. It is difficult to imagine her being anywhere near as petulant, vindictive and downright petty as Trump has consistently proven himself to be.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@Piper Maybe. But she isn’t in a position of responsibility. It is, in my opinion, an unfair comparison.
Piper · 61-69, F
@MartinII Okay, then. Seems to me that she feels a great deal of responsibility, whether she is [i]in[/i] a "position" of responsibility..or not.

@Harriet03 Read the tweet from Laura Ingraham's brother:

I had to look her up, but since it doesn’t take much to be more mature than Donald Trump I wasn’t surprised that she is. I also wasn’t surprised that the right-wingers were trashing her, since they only value young girls if they can molest them.
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@bijouxbroussard Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. That was a fiery comment Bijoux haha but true. If I was a right winger, I'd be embarrassed since Trump can only speak at a fourth grade level as analyzed by experts. Literally the right wingers doing that most likely are also on his same level.
Nobody knows more about climate change and the weather than the stable genius.

Hey, maybe you guys can get HER to run for president!
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Harriet03 Yup, the thing he would learn is that her parents should be jailed on child abuse charges
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Harriet03 He probably would learn something. She has a wider vocabulary in her second language and doesn't think that science is a hoax invented by the Chinese.
Harriet03 · 41-45, F
@sunsporter1649 Their not church goers!
MartinII · 70-79, M
I just voted for the wrong candidate, which no doubt says something about me!

Thunberg can say what she likes with little or no criticism from the world’s media. (How she gets on to those media in the first place defeats me.)
Trump is pilloried every time he opens his mouth, says something on twitter, or does, or decides not to do, anything. He also has the responsibility of being President of the United States. There is, I’m afraid, no comparison.
MartinII · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard I think everyone who makes public political pronouncements should be judged on what they do and say, and should expect to be challenged. I don’t think Thunberg should be given any leeway. She has set herself up, or been set up (I don’t know the background) as the leader of a political movement, and should take the consequences, like any other political leader. Of course, the cause she espouses is one that much of the world’s media likes to support, so she gets an easy ride. I call that bias.
@MartinII You don’t see a difference between criticizing a situation that has the potential to affect everyone vs. personal attacks on individuals regarding things like body weight, ethnicity, racial background, physical attractiveness, pettiness and gossip, with the latter coming [b]not[/b] from a young girl but from a world leader ? Trump is criticized because of the character (or lack thereof) coming from his [b]own[/b] tweets. This is who he has proven himself to be and I don’t understand anyone continuing to [b]defend[/b] him. 😳

@MartinII I read somewhere that she got millions for it too

It's okay to not like Trump, but come on buddy. I know it upsets people that he won but at some point they need to realize they're acting like petulant children. And they will be acting in the same manner for another term.
@xRedx The Petulant child is in the WH.
@xRedx Are you a graduate of Trump University ?

[quote]You can name all of these but how are we gonna not only implement them,[/quote]

It's pretty clear how we're going to implement them. Quite a bit of research, development, and productization has gone into each of these areas. You should look it up sometime, everyone else seems to be aware of it.

[quote]but actually acquire all the cash influx needed [/quote]

The same place that's used to build and update the existing infrastructure, and technology. Some of it is public, for public infrastructure, and some is private money, for products like software, cars, etc. Another fascinating topic, people seem to be very well aware of. You should look up thing like electric cars, metros, etc.

[quote]for all of this on something that scientists aren't even in consensus? [/quote]

Science is pretty much in agreement it can and is being done. Next time you see an electric car, don't consider it a prop in an animated film.

[quote]Also, you're assuming the general public would agree to use public transportation [/quote]

Hundreds of millions of people, around the world, would disagree with you assessment. This is a fact. Get used to it.

[quote] and smaller more economical cars. [/quote]

See above, and try to understand why there's a waiting list for people who want to by electric cars.

[quote]Like aocs new green deal, they're interpreted all the information how they wanted stating that bogus 12 year deadline[/quote]

Perhaps it's 12 year, and perhaps it's 20, but it's no longer a matter of is, it's a matter of when. As eloquently stated by Quixotic, politicians are not necessarily scientists, but scientists agree on that.

[quote]Funny how all you people think you're morally high with this climate change card yet act like dictators, trying to change people and their personal decisions as well businesses over all the world.[/quote]

"We" people? No one is forcing you to buy an electric car. Let me know when someone tries, via executive order, to deny the people of my entire State, the opportunity to select what we want in a car.

Probably the same reading source Trump uses. If she's so irrelevant, how come the entire conservative world (applies to Europe as well), is so worried about what a 16 year-old is saying.

What were you doing when you were 16?

Trump lies to much. Can't believe anything that he says.

I hear she's better at golf too.

Greta is just another teen who thinks her shit don't stink. She is following the lead of David Hogg.

@curiosi Greta Thunberg speaks for the children of at least 175 countries that are in the Paris Accord Agreement and every other child on the planet as well.
How mature of you.. I might just add 😏👌

who is behind her
Northwest · M
@WalksWith It would be a nice if she ever comes up with a speaking point of her own. Apparently, the ostriches, worldwide, went out of their way to denigrate this 16 year old. It's in France, the UK and now the US. The sound bites (surprise) are echoed here:

- who is paying for her antics

- who is profiteering

- she is autistic

- does not go to school

Their concern is touching. They, however, should be concerned, that a 16 year, has more awareness of what's going on in the world, than all of them combined.
WalksWith · 51-55, F
@Northwest

Yup!! the canned faux concern is being repeated all over every continent of the planet, it's all the same and it makes them look ridicules, silly, and ignorant. And guess what? She really doesn't care what the foul-mouthed greedy, ignorant think of her! And I love watching them having a hissy fit over her! It's so funny!
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@Northwest Its the same attack lines on the UK right. There is a long long history of attacking the person to distract from their ideas and being sixteen apparantly doesn't stop that.
