Talk to her parents. That's how they describe her

She's a public figure with power to influence political policy. She's fair game. Quit being a vagina.

Yet cries about it when people bring it up. Not really a surprising move for the mentally disturbed.

Hey man, did you ever stop to think maybe TH03 is autistic and is a bit sensitive about the subject, especially when you make fun of people with autism?

He's got some mental disorder where he has to argue about everything. Maybe he's just a woman or a tranny or whatever gender non specific bullshite we go by these days.

The absolute irony of calling someone autistic while missing sarcasm.

Or :gasp: not everyone has the same opinions. I know this place is mostly an echo chamber, but come on.

So when is Klark going on BBC to pretend to be an expert on a virus he knows exactly nothing about? I didn't see the schedule.

I'm just saying I'm not going to fault a foreigner with the possible exception of Canada for not knowing where all of our states are.

Nah, you interject personal jabs to stir up arguments. You have zero interest in "breaking the echo chamber". Just admit you're trying to stir the pot. We know what your game is. Ironically, you're doing the same thing CNN is doing.

Obviously not. The way they have hemorrhaged viewership over the last decade would tell you they're not in the ratings business. In fact, I keep waiting for the stockholders in CNN to say, "Enough!" and end this brain-dead liberal virtue signaling.

CNN’s latest installment of its ‘Facts and Fears’ town hall on the coronavirus pandemic will feature teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg as one of its experts. What expertise Thunberg can offer on the virus is a mystery.


quote:

Besser is a doctor and Sebelius is an experienced politician. Thunberg, by contrast, has no apparent knowledge on infectious diseases or public health policy, and instead spent the last two years lecturing lawmakers and the public on the dangers of global warming, most notably when she delivered a tear-soaked speech to the United Nations last year, accusing world leaders of stealing her “childhood” with their “empty words” on the environment.

Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, CNN’s ‘Facts and Fears’ has offered viewers a blend of hard debate and cringeworthy moments. Joe Biden, for example, was mocked last month for stuttering through a monologue on the environment, before asking former Vice President Al Gore whether it is “too late to aggress the climate change.”

Likewise, some viewers were confused by the network’s decision to feature director Spike Lee on the same show earlier this month.

CNN has not yet stated what expertise Thunberg will bring to the table. Prior to her upcoming appearance, Thunberg has kept quieter this year than last, surfacing on Earth Day last month to remind the world that the coronavirus shouldn’t overshadow the “climate crisis.”

So you shouldn't fault Klark if he can't find Hampshire, no? Yet you used it as an insult to his intelligence that was honestly pretty unintelligent.

Not typically unless it's in response to one or the particular comment is ridiculous or clearly a troll.

With certain people like Darth? Absolutely. I've amitted to him several times.

There are plenty of instances every day where I rationally speak my own opinions. You're choosing to ignore those in order to label me as nothing more than a pot stirrer whose opinions are invalid.
