Mozart - died at 35, started composing as a child





There are long lists of child prodigies.



British Army you can join at 16

US Military you can join at 17

Legions and legions lied about their age to join the military in the various wars in the last 150 years.

Calvin Graham became the youngest decorated hero during WWII at the age of 12 as a Navy gunner.

Whats your problem with teenagers?



Umm all these kids actually achieved something, they found a solution to a problem, unlike Greta who runs at the mouth with zero solutions of issues she obviously has zero comprehension about. So yes, naturally people will tell her to go back to school. Also, the kids you mentioned were rare prodigies, let’s not pretend like that’s the standard and average teenagers know what they are talking about, they don’t.

She's none of those, she's a mentally ill child who is being used and abused by her parents.

All her rants on social media were shown to be written by her father and an man that was hired to write for them.

Bingo...
We have a winner!

Boyan Slat started to change the World as a teenager.
But he ain't going to make any money to the media or to the minion politicians hiding behind the greed of corporations.

The single biggest problem facing the world is over population. It dwarfs everything else. Sadly nothing can be done about it because of organized religion.

BMEP100 01-21-2020 05:19 AM

Fundamentally, the MSM of this world will always favor the “Gretas “

Greta is female.
She is from a socialist country
She is divisive
Her campaign promotes fear
The goal of her campaign is more government control

Boyan is male.
He is from a country that encourages capitalism
He solution unites people
His solution promotes industry
His solution offers hope.

This is so ingrained, just look at the the Title of this thread the the articles linked...
They all list Greta first...

You couldn't do anything about it anyway. If you tried to keep me from having kids, my kid would end up taking your slot because you'd be dead. Nothing religious about it, just human nature. Only way around that might be a global educated society with homogeneous values, and even then SOMEBODY gets to decide who has kids and who doesn't. That somebody would clearly be more equal than all of the other animals and thus entitled to more children. See how that works?

Also top-heavy economies don't do to well.

The solution is actually better technology to take care of more folks without impacting the environment, most of that technology exists today, for example nuclear + near 100% recycling of everything. Ultimately most people would likely live and work underground with the surface in metro areas reserved for parks and leisure.

Ultra-long term, obviously need to get off the planet.

Get all of that from Breitbart?

She has proposed solutions such as replanting forests, protect the existing ones, stop governments from subsidizing fossil fuels but you don't want to hear that do you?
