Here's another one.....
Political, probably, make your own mind up... I just pass 'em on.
To all the school kids going on 'strike' for Climate Change: You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom. You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised. You spend all day and night on electronic devices. More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke local roads and worsen rush hour traffic. You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy, Your entertainment comes from electric devices. Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport. The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.
How about this... Tell your teachers to switch off the air-con. Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book. Make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food. No, none of this will happen because you are selfish, badly educated, virtue signalling little 'snowflakes', inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a 'noble cause' while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life. Wake up, grow up and learn to research facts and think for yourself and not blindly accept the words and thoughts of others - I don't think you formulated this action plan all by your self - suspect you may have had some influence and 'guidance' from those you trust ....a word of warning, be cautious of the influence of the 'left' because there may be a time in the future that you will be the ones left out...

Re: Here's another one.....
But oh so very true..................
My Mum told me about running inside screaming with her siblings at age 7 because water was falling from the sky, had never seen rain.
And how they WALKED 7 miles to school and 7 miles home after school.
Precious little Gretas............. How dare they !!!!

Re: Here's another one.....
I grew up in Sydney & walked 1 mile to primary school & back daily, if I walked up to the main road I could catch a bus for 1 penny but that was in the other direction & I was almost half way to school if I just walked. Different when I started high school train station was at the top of our street.
Always remember the biscuits being placed in brown paper bags when you purchased them & purchasing a bag of broken biscuits.
Folk don't seem to be able to live today without aircon, funny, in summer it's turned to cold in winter cranked up to hot, what ever happened to dressing for the season?

Re: Here's another one.....
I wish they were forced to read an address by the former boss of Greenpeace who celebrates rising levels of carbon dioxide, pointing out that the decreasing levels slide we were on meant the extinction of all life in the not so very distant future, but I guess that would force them to think, something they don't seem great about.................................

So this generation we are so quick to condem is the fruit of our loins, and the outcome of our parenting....

Re: Here's another one.....
Sorry to disagree Martin but once kids go to school they are mainly influenced by teachers.
By default the majority of teachers are **** voters and *** washed by professors in Uni....
Just gotta look at who is in the major rallies ...... including Hong Kong & years ago in Tianon Square?
What kid is going to listen to some dumb parent rather than educated persuaders?

OH that's easily fixed then. We can stop educating people.. Look at all the tax dollars we can save.. Plus no more revolting kids.BruceS wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2019 9:41 am Sorry to disagree Martin but once kids go to school they are mainly influenced by teachers.
