Malala: I want to be Prime Minister

http://www.breakingnews.ie/world/malala-i-want-to-be-prime-minister-609802.html


What will she want to be next?


Anyone sniff a teeny bit of milking celebrity here? It reminds me of Bono over the years. Sure she has a great story and overcame horrific injuries but I feel I have less time for her now than I did.

That and I begrudge people who are more advanced than me in status in this world:P

Fair play to her

But without the gun wound to the head, sadly.

She is getting a lot of mileage out of that shooting

Well if I took a round to the noggin I'd expect a bit of mileage out of it an' all. Fair play to the kiddo, and I hope the crazies don't have a right go at her over all the publicity.

Thread title is a bit disrespectful though. Her full name is right there in the article you linked to.

Yeah, imagine that crazy asian having dreams and aspirations and using what happened to her to highlight the way women are still treated in many parts of the world. I don't want my daughters seeing that sh¡t. Let's get back to Miley Cyrus licking the make-up off her face and showing preteens how to twerk and let's not worry about all that inspirational nonsense.

Also OP, to really get across the full Jade Goody-ness of your intellectually stunted post, you should have called her Malala Poppadom or sumfink.

I didn't want to put in her second name for other reasons. But that's neither here nor there. This is AH not the UN Humanitarian Forum.

I've said it before, I feel like someone is using her as a kind of ventriloquists dummy.

I do have huge admiration for the girl, considering she barely seems to have been phased by her horrific attack (seriously, who shoots a 14 yr old kid at point blank range?).

But listening to her speak, I can't help feel something is a little off...like somebody's putting words in her mouth.

You could have just used a different thread title then. Calling her Malala whatshername was always going to get a reaction.

But you probably knew that.

We have to remember this is also the OP who gave us this classic thread:rolleyes:

Fancy a role as a "nail tecnician"?
Perusing a high profile employment site for "highly technical and advanced roles" to see what's going at home at the moment and came across this. This looks a bit too advanced.

It seems looking down the nose at others is a hobby?

Now I think this thread is about mala and how someone wants to make a prime minister out of it

Yep, I get that impression too. Though it's very hard to say tbh. She is is a very good speaker though.

Well, good luck to here. Politics in Pakistan is a dangerous business, with a lot of former heads of state having been assassinated, but she seems to be very brave, and would probably do a good job running the country, when she is older. She surely can't do a worse job, then the corrupt shower of wealthy politicians, or military dictators, that the country has had so far.

If this thread was about Bono would you be so defensive?

I have nothing against him, he is a successful singer and business man and has never done anything to bother me. This may surprise you but not everyone has the begrudgery gene.

Also this thread (that you started) is not about Bono it's about a child who was shot in the head for going to school and now wants to try to help the people of her country.

All Irish are begrudgers at heart. We wouldn't be Irish without the aul begrudgery.

Nope i don't agree with that Maybe it's because i'm not Irish.

She is comfortably a millionaire times over at this stage and set for a life of wealth and potentially power. Sympathy goes so far.

Well then how would you know? Begudgery is a very Irish trait. Anyone who says the opposite is being dishonest.

Link please? Or are you talking rupees? Also are you saying she is now HAPPY that she was shot in the head and left for dead?

Considering English wouldn't be her native tongue, there's bound to be some minor difficulties with pronunciation so I reckon she should get a pass on that. Her father is a human rights activist as well so I'm sure he's been an influence on her but beyond I don't really see her as being some sort of puppet. The girl has probably had 10 times as much life experience as a similar 16 year old in this country.

The fact i have lived here for 35 years gives me a good bit of experience:rolleyes:

OP => trollin'. He's outta here for a while.

beertons, I've deleted your post and reference to it with that card I gave you. More crap like that will add up to a ban.
