So predictable from a rag like Time. I think I punched a grumpy earlier this morning that was more meaningful and interesting. Just sayin'...



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Greta Thunberg Says We Will ‘Put World Leaders Against the Wall’

“Unfortunately, we probably already know the outcome. World leaders are still trying to run away from their responsibilities but we have to make sure they cannot do that. We will make sure that we put them against the wall and they will have to do their job to protect our futures,” she said, according to the Daily Mail.

more from Greta the idiot:

It is not fair that the older generation are handing over the responsibility to solve this crisis to us young people who have not started this crisis. It’s not fair that we have to do all this.

The adults are behaving as if there is no tomorrow but there is a tomorrow, it is the tomorrow where our young people will live and we have to fight for that tomorrow. We can no longer take that tomorrow for granted.

Greta added that the next decade “will define our future.”

She said: “What we decide to do or not to do in this decade we will have to live with for the rest of our lives.

“And our children and our grandchildren will also have to live with it.

“So 2019 is almost over and we must make sure that 2020 is the year of action, is the year when we bend the global emissions curve.

“We must make sure, and we will make sure that if we stand together we can do it.

About the Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” that I posted in the Biden thread:

============

I keep reading this stuff, so I took a couple of minutes to research Time magazine’s “Person of the Year” thing. This is what Wikipedia has to say about it, and the definition is exactly how I’ve understood the designation ever since I first heard of it decades ago:

“Person of the Year (called Man of the Year or Woman of the Year until 1999) is an annual issue of the United States news magazine Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that ‘for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year.’”

Was it appropriate to designate Hitler Man of the Year when the magazine did? By the above definition, absolutely. Anyone who knows the tiniest bit about world history in 1938 understands that he had several European countries, and especially France and the UK, dancing like marionettes on strings with his threats and demands. Hitler did the most to influence events for several years during that era, and being singled out for special coverage was hardly surprising.

The designation is not an “award,” it is simply a marketing method of attracting attention to the product, i.e., the news reporting periodical. In that regard, it’s hardly unique to Time magazine. Two of the periodicals I subscribe to, the science journal Nature, and The Wall Street Journal, do the same thing all the time. If Nature decides to make diabetes the special focus, the magazine will include a series of in-depth articles on just that disease in addition to everything else it normally publishes. The purpose is to attract the attention of people who are interested in diabetes, and of course, to hopefully convince a few more of them to subscribe to the journal. It’s not to say, “Hey, look at what a fine thing it is to have diabetes.”

Is the kid who was designated the Person of the Year this time really the one who influenced events of the year the most? We might dispute that (I do), but that’s a marketing judgment call by the people who are trying to sell more magazines, nothing more.

When I think of putting somebody 'against a wall,' I'm thinking of a firing squad. So this ignorant child ACTOR brat is basically advocating execution of those with whom she disagrees.

Typical leftist.

The fact that leftists trip all over themselves in fawning adoration of this brat tells me all I need to know about them - shallow, vacuous twits that don't have a clue as to how the real world works. They have convinced themselves that "if they believe it, it will be so," to the point where most of them are living in fantasy lands of their own creation.

Go ahead and try to bully China, Greta. Go ahead. Sail your 'green' sailboat over to Beijing and lecture the ChiComms on 'environmental responsibility.'

I DARE you.

Of course, we all know that she will never do so, and we all know why.

I heard recently that Greta Thunberg has Asperger's Syndrome.

Having spent six years volunteering in a mental health capacity, and being present for hearings involving patients with Asperger's, and talking with physicians and mental health professionals about the condition, I am appalled that the Left is using this girl for their own purposes without regard to (or perhaps because of) her condition.

In layman's terms, a person with Asperber's syndrome displays several noticeable symptoms. First and foremost, is a complete lack of empathy. They simply cannot fathom what other peoples' feelings or reactions to their actions may be, nor do they care. They can be quite intelligent and articulate, but they just have no emotional governance.

There is a psychological condition known as Borderline Personality Disorder. My late wife was afflicted with it. It's very similar to Asperger's, although a doctor explained to me that Aspberger's has a biological/chemical basis for it, whereas BPD is "learned behavior" (usually through childhood).

In either case, people so afflicted are horrible to be around. I have a book somewhere on my bookshelf written by a therapist on BPD. In the preface, the author states that these people are some of the hardest to treat, and she often refers them to her main competitors!

I feel sorry for Greta Thunberg because she is being so cruelly manipulated. At the same time, every time I see or hear her, the hairs on the back of my neck go up. And I want to put distance between us.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

A very convenient fact that the Left likes to use, both as an example of a person 'over coming' certain health conditions but, more importantly, supporting the dogma and rhetoric that has been crafted. Get the same person, who espouses religious rhetoric, video games, electronics, whatever...they'd get dismissed as crazy or, different.

Well, my only known experience with Aspberger's patients is those adjudicated NGRI. That's all I need to know.
