      I mean, to anyone past their 20’s Greta is still basically a child. She’s only 22, and there’s a reason adults call them “college kids”.

      I work with a bunch of people in their early 20’s, and 100% think of them as children. Sure they can vote, and maybe they’re old enough to drink. But they’re definitely not mature.

          I mean, that’s like saying the sandy hook kids should’ve been considered adults because of how they protested for gun reform after the shooting. The reality is that they were young. Young people can do great things, but that doesn’t change the fact that they’re young.

      Will you morons stop nitpicking this? Contextually, for an older person, she’s still a child. Big whoop.

      She was beaten and you daft imbeciles are outraged over the use of words.

      You wonder why you get no progress? Because you’re a bucket of crabs nitpicking anything that isn’t perfect because that’s easier than actually doing something.

          When you hit 40, you’ll definitely understand how young 22 still is.

          I’m in my mid 30’s. Fuck off with all your smug “you’ll understand when you’re older” bullshit.

            Yo hold on, let’s be respectful to each other, this isn’t Reddit. Let’s have a nicer community here. That’s why we all came here in the first place.

          When you hit 40 you should goddamned know calling an adult ‘little’ is fucking disrespectful regardless of how old you happen to be or your outlook on how infantile younger people are.

            Yes I’m sure while Palestinian children starve to death Greta is over there fuming about being called “little” by fellow activists

              There will always be bigger issues, the world is imperfect. This doesn’t mean any other smaller issue is somehow not valid or disqualified. Multiple issues exist and can be addressed at the same time.

                That’s true. Greta obviously will be the person who will prioritize the starving children in Palestine, while I guess you’ve taken up this other injustice. God speed.

            She’s 4’10½"… She’s very small. Little is an adjective used to describe someone who is small. And it’s contextual here because you don’t really need to drag someone so little (…) off by their hair. You can just pretty much pick her up.
