OT: Current Affairs and Politics

I struggle with her being elevated to the status she has and worry that she will be chewed up and spat out. But I also understand that sometimes you need a circuit breaker.

I think she has gain more media momentum from her contrarians than from her supporters. If they all STFU and ignored her, she would hardly be such a household name. She has been given a platform because of her notoriety with the haters.

Same goes for the two kids who were involved in the Parkland school shooting. They only gained traction because boomers were tilted by kids telling them what to do. Then the Fox crew started referring to them as paid actors. Their media attention eventually died down because of the inevitability of zero change of their guns laws.



Young people are finding a voice and learning how to find a platform. Boomers need to learn to deal with it. Their opinions are just as valid as anyone’s.

Where did you get the idea that there's a billion vegans in India?

Vegitarianism and Veganism are interchangeable in India . The only difference is the availability of dairy products and eggs. It is not based on purely ideology or religion (but sometimes is), but rather access to the food sources and financial constraints. Happy to be proven wrong.

They aren't.

It's not even necessarily true that that the majority are vegetarian tbh

 

[Gary Gutful]

Its closer to 400 Million that are vegetarian.

All vegans are vegetarian but not all vegetarians are vegan. At a guess I'd say only a small percentage of them are. And they don't stick to it because it kills them.

Do you have a YouTube link for that?

Sure.

Vegans don't eat dairy or eggs. Most Indian vegetarians do.

Happy to have proven you wrong

So Greta's been vegan since she was 12. Her sister who is two years younger than her is over a foot taller. The irony of this stunted, mentally unstable child being an inspiration for vegans is pretty funny.

$20 I can sell you one

Vegan diets cause mental health problems. Looking at her obvious malnourishment and stunted growth, I'd say she's been vegan for quite some time. She's even going bald.

That is just a merkin of a thing to say about a teenage girl.....

To be fair, and while I agree with lol @ vegans, autism can and certainly does stunt growth and development physically as well as mentally.

The poor kid is a pawn for sure. But I'm not keen on the idea of calling her "stunted and mentally unstable" based on a genetic condition any more than I'm keen on the idea of her being used the way she is.

Her whole family don’t eat meat. Over to you on that. Autism is caused by veganism ? I thought it was from vaccinations ?

She's 17 years old and looks like a 12 year old. Is that common for autistic people? And how sure about her autism are we anyway.

Yes, now. Supposedly anyway. But that wasn't always the case. Allegedly Greta convinced them to all go vegan. I'm not sure her sister hasn't been sneaking the odd burger.

Edit: never suggested veganism or vaccinations caused autism. I said veganism causes mental problems.

Yeah nah she's definitely autistic mate. And yes stunted growth is quite common. Obviously a vegan diet may not help, but autism can 100% slow growth and development.

I think the people we should be criticising are her parents

Yes but we know that diet plays a major role in physical development. Surely much more than autism. Not in every case perhaps but I know what I'd bet on. And I am not blaming her for anything, just pointing out what I believe the effects of her diet are. Absolutely the parents are largely to blame.

Maybe we should get 16yld to run the country hey Gronk.....
These angry teens where probably full of cum and angry trying to get it out while hormones where changing. At that age people are thinking with emotions and unable to control them. Why would you take there opinion as highly as someone who is able to think rationally?
