I use the collective noun for 'your crew'. because that is exactly what it is. You jump to each others aid, speak on behalf of each other and all turn on anyone who dares stray from your group think narrative. It leaves everyone else on the forum as outsiders. What was a bunch of Saddos is now and has been for quite some time. Us and Them. The them are actually much larger in number and more reflective of the makeup of the forum, but we are all excluded from the non-boxing boards because of the stranglehold your clique has established. It has set the tone in which trolls like Alpha and Brock are welcomed as long as they repeat the broflake narrative and keep within the clearly marked lines. it has gone on for so long you do not even notice it.

    In a thread about why an environmental activist is in America, you have dicks like Walrus chiming in, whinging about someone who is not American answering the question posed by the thread. That is not the same thing as being the dominant voices in a thread about the a future constitutional change that would change America irrevocably. Most Brits, myself included, would never be so arrogant and presumptuous. A thread about your President who also happens to be the leader of the free world is not the same thing at all, particularly when he himself is one of most powerful rouge actors from your rouge state now interfering in British elections and referendums, shielding American criminals from British Justice and threatening the very foundations of what makes Britain Great.

    Childish shit posting is what it is. I disagree and it becomes

    'He du nastiest person ever, my fwend said. And can't see how all the peoples here cry about his buwying nastiness ..'



    How old are you Brock? 10?

    Pathetic.
    Beanz you have lots of buttons

    You wish. Seriously why on earth would someone be so invested like you guys in being desperate for someone to agree with them? You seem to think that me not being a robot is the same as being a big cry baby like you and your angry mates. Think about it. Are you seriously telling me that 'You Guys' are the not the angry ones BWAHAHAHAH!

    Chill out man. Life is too short.
    You have 0 self awareness it’s a bit scary. Do you really let your mind run wild when you read one sentence I write. Clearly you are insane

    You are a hoot man. Sat there at your keyboard with your remote diagnosis of somebody you know nothing about, based purely on your own conceited conjecture and the illusion you wish to maintain to protect yourself from your own psychosis. Why else would you be so invested in this idea that anyone would give a single fuck about what you write? It is only your opinion. It really does not mean that much. Hilarious.
    Dude u are lost. You already told us u have an illness which greatly impedes your social abilities. Why can’t you just chill and BS around like everyone else. Not everything is a battle even if your mind interprets that way.

    I have never said I have an illness, let alone one that greatly impedes my social abilities. I am just not like you, thank fuck My job literally depends upon my ability to function in social situations and just because you want to believe anyone that is not neurotypical must be a sad angry emotionless loser, the truth is that there are plenty in your gang that fit that description without having to have Aspergers or anything else on the spectrum.


    The truth is that like many, many Americans you really do not understand Brits. It all flies over your head. Sarcasm, Black Humour, Frankness, Subtlety, Parody, Wit, any of it. You are the one here insisting everything is a battle just because I don't act like your bum boy in the way Gandalf does. Seriously you seem to have massive self esteem issues as well if you need to be loved that much.
    I got to the point where you said your job and realized everything after was a pack of bullshit. Assyburg effects the ability to properly interrupt and interact with others. That’s not an insult it’s just fact. You take everything as a battle and it gets tiring.
    No. You take everything as a battle. Like i said..chill the fuck out man. Start by not telling me what or who I am and then maybe just maybe you will realise what an arse you have been for years. Listen to yourself.."Dude you are lost" ha! The melodrama of it all. It's just projection.

    And yes of course you just switched off when anything conflicted with your own preconceptions, because you already have your mind made up. It is that simple. You are gain telling me about my life based on the fact that I don't fit the model you have built in YOUR head. A little bit of psychology is bloody dangerous. Look at your mental mates, Gandalf, Brock even El Kabong has this self sabotaging instinct he can't quite get a grip on, and you are all still insistent that I am the angry one. It is 2019 and you are still calling people 'pillow biters'. There are 75yr olds who would consider that as proof of you being retarded, and you think you are this well balanced 'normal' guy
    When u aren’t posting there is no battle. I said the truth that you scold when I used to do the articles on what’s going on in England. You can’t even handle the truth. There is my sentence feel free to write a novel to respond. Just remember no matter how your brain interrupts it it’s not a big deal.

    Seriously Wally it is not Camelot. This is a forum. A place for debate. It is supposed to be mentally challenging not just a place for the mentally challenged. If you find it too stressful then try not taking it, and yourself, so seriously.

    Back to the topic.

    Ending air travel is nihilism. Going back to sailing to cross oceans is a 19th century solution that cannot meet 21st century travel needs. This makes no economic, logistical, or ecological sense. Maybe Greta Thunberg should have stayed in school a while longer.

    I imagine it's for the symbolism. Climate activists should be allowed to fly back and forth to distant destinations without being called hypocrites, as.... like you said.... ending air travel makes no sense in today's world.

    Yes Tito fan, I agree. The climate deniers are guilty of that catch-22 argument. I mean do they expect Greta to take a magic carpet?

    I do not know if you realise, but you just have argued with yourself. Titofan said it was a symbolic gesture.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    @Master I was defending the other side of the argument, I like to see both sides.

    The thing is she can't win either way. She was offered the chance to sail in a racing yacht, specifically designed to use no fossil fuels, already built, to attend a climate conference she was invited to, and bravely despite never undergoing the kind of voyage, accepted that invitation. It is a real achievement to undertake that kind of trip, but you would never think so if you listened to most of the faux Alpha males here. Many of them would bottle it if you took them out on a light swell ffs.

    She has always said that she is not telling other people what they should do, only trying to put into practice what she preaches, and draw attention to real climate issues. (It is why she has nearly always used trains across Europe) Transatlantic flights use about the same amount of fuel as a years worth of driving a car, and so yes it makes sense to be aware of that, and cut down, if as an individual you want to reduce your carbon footprint. People like Brock swan around all over the world claiming that people who live in the suburb are cowards as though his own failure to put down roots is some kind of achievement . Who cares what he thinks about anything to be honest?

    Kids today get so much shite thrown at them for just sitting down in front of screens and supposedly not knowing about how hard their parents generation had it, and yet here is a youngster going way, way, way out of her comfort zone for something she believes in, and cynical bitter old middle age men (the bastards) are virtue signalling their disdain for her, as though it is a positive attribute. She is not Leonard de Caprio or Al Gore jetting around everywhere, and yet she is still getting all these self righteous blokes labeling her as a hypocrite, or almost as bad, as a poor abused girl who must surely be being used by puppet masters behind the scenes.

    I find that almost the most offensive thing, because it removes any ides of agency and achievement from

    Young People
    Women
    Autisitic People

    As though the people criticizing her are somehow clever for punching down on a figure, who whatever you think of her, has already achieved more than virtually any of them EVER will.

    Count me in on that group. Never been sailor material, reason why I've never fancied going on my son-in-law's sailboat, unless it's firmly docked and we're just having a few beers in the thing.

    I think you'll find some of "those people" are actually criticizing the adults behind the scenes, rather than the girl herself. I still find it hard to believe she's accomplished everything from Day One all by herself, without the slightest bit of encouragement and support from climate activist adults wanting to score big sensationalist points. Surely you must realize that many of these adults take full advantage of the taboo of criticizing a kid, lest all hell come down on the critic's heathen head.

    I find that almost the most offensive thing, because it removes any ides of agency and achievement from

    Young People
    Women
    Autisitic People

    Again... young women are championing causes all over the globe, and getting their due respect and support from people like me. But there's a little bit of everything in the world, so I'm sure there are people like you describe.

    As though the people criticizing her are somehow clever for punching down on a figure, who whatever you think of her, has already achieved more than virtually any of them EVER will.

    Ahh... the dangers of lumping people together. It's something I've decried here since Day One. You've mentioned "Us vs Them" on other threads and on other occasions. That is such a dangerous and careless way to engage with people. People are individuals, and should be addressed as such. If you work with young people at all, in any type of educating capacity, that is one of the primordial things that must be kept in mind.

    Again... no one here is saying Greta is a bad person. What some of us are saying and criticizing is the methods used and the adults behind the scenes. Not having a stomach for a 16-year old girl yelling "How dare you!!" at an assembled group of adults, many of whom are well-educated in the field and have the best of intentions..... is hardly grounds for vilifying me and making it seem as though I'm having a go at Greta herself. But we have enough showings of public scoldings and lacks of respect in today's world, starting with the orange-haired clown himself.

    Yes...the dangers of lumping people together, which is why i took the time to address YOU, not vilify you, and not include you in that group. It is though what people do all the time, here in this post, even you are assuming that 'the adults behind the scenes' etc are a certain kind of person and not just ordinary, loving parents like you.

    Nobody here has talked about her like an individual, and the idea that 'no one here is saying Greta is a bad person' is just sticking your head in the sand. She has in the first few threads here, and in many other threads, been called everything from 'A media cunt' to a 'a freaky annoying mong' , there is routine mocking, memes, and her actively going out and speaking, protesting and traveling the world, stupidly and callously being compared to using a dead baby by these guys you are attributing, (credit to you), far more common human decency than they are in possession of.

    It always amazes me how people think that not being PC (not you) excuses talking about people, and specifically disabled people and disabled kids, like they are fair game to rip the piss out of. Nobody, disabled or otherwise are out of bounds for parodying or jokes but there is often a real underlying fucked up nastiness with it here, that betrays people's own discomfort. I am met with the reality of it on a virtual daily basis with idiots staring at my Mrs, and older, supposedly decent conservative looking people are the worst for it. Disability can happen to anyone at anytime and as we all live longer it is a future reality we all may have to face.

    There is a reason bloody naff Zombie movies are all the rage. The posting of many on here is already far more zombie like than many a young person, looking at and using, the exact same devices as the gormless posters who think they are a cut above, whilst posting the same old dribbly shite on their smartphones, tablets and PC's for years now
