I just thought of a great idea -

Why waste money spent on researching the effects of climate change? If it’s happening anyway, we ought to just ignore it and spend the money on other more practical stuff. In fact, scrap any outlay on monitoring asteroid threats, pollution impacts, species extinction, weather system warnings - if it happens, it happens. Let’s just spend the saved cash on other things that we create to affect our lives instead, like missiles launched against/by Iran by/against the US and deployment of armed forces in response to it. There, solved.

America just killed one of the worlds biggest terrorists and you’re unhappy?

And you’re happy with the development that one state sees fit to assassinate another state representative?

I’m not sticking up for Soleimani or what he is responsible for in the Middle East. Undoubtedly, he was a rotten figure who had a hand in the deaths of many.

But if you follow the following criteria for the justification for such an assassination:

a) The target should be a villain responsible for many deaths and suffering.
b) The target should be responsible for creating instability in a region.
c) It does not matter that the individual represents and holds office for a recognised state.

Then, could you not justify the assassination of many of those in high office in the US - including Trump - who committed this act and those of many other nations involved in the policies and execution of foreign warfare? Where do you draw the line and what justification do you have for that?

I’m sure America’s enemies would if they could

Trump isn’t capable of thinking through the consequences of his actions as deeply as nawaz (who I also saw recently on an al-jazeera spot) claims. He’s trying to stifle debate and criticism of anyone condemning this unprecedented, likely illegal, morally questionable and certainly risky assassination by labelling them as leftist Trump haters. The outcome couldn’t have gone much better for Trump with hindsight atm, but a great deal of that was due to absolute imbecility from what sounds like a single low-ranking Iranian who’s rash response cost the lives of 300-odd passengers on a civilian plane. Unlike those poor folk, Trump got very lucky IMO.

Young people can't win can they. They get criticised for been a generation of millennial snowflakes who just get offeneded by everything and should get out in the real world. Then when one actually stands up and starts educating the planet about real world issues everyone else suddenly gets offended by them and start saying how they are getting used and don't know what they are talking about.

We all know the real issue here is that a lot of people can't stand the fact they are getting educated by a 16 year old. She's human and she isn't perfect but that doesn't mean the message she is conveying is any less true.

This is Shakespear-esque compared to the arrogant and lying gibberish from Trump.

So she’s a figurehead, a face. At least she bringing a very very serious issue to the forefront of discussion. If she’s a puppet at least she’s being used to try to do some good.
