And thats quite enough of your rabid theories and derailing the thread to talk about your personal vision of utopia. . Not only am I pointing out that what you are writing is complete and utter horse manure - you can drop the personal attacks as well. This is from your previous comment... Yes I am indeed concerned. And whether you believe otherwise is none of your business. However you proving your lies should be - so go ahead and show each and everyone of the posts I allegedly "backslap" (sic) saying the girl is "mentally ill". Link or get out and stay out. Tbh your comments are pure fantasy at best and bear no relation to the topic of the thread . But the next personal attack like the above bull****e gets you reported faster than you can say "Green New Deal" - understand?

GRETA IS A 40 YEAR OLD WOMAN.
