old'un Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I watched Trump’s opening speech this morning and was quite impressed with it. The opening day of Davos has been dominated by Donald Trump vs Greta Thunberg. Trump told the global elite that this a "time for optimism" as he dismissed climate change "alarmists" and "prophets of doom". Here is the full quote from the US president: "To embrace the possibilities of tomorrow we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse. They are the heirs of yesterday's foolish fortune tellers." “They want to see us do badly, but we don’t let that happen. They predicted an overpopulation crisis in the 1960s, mass starvation in the 70s, and an end of oil in the 1990s. These alarmists always demand the same thing: absolute power to dominate, transform and control every aspect of our lives. We will never let radical socialists destroy our economy, wreck our country or eradicate our liberty.” Can we class Greta “woke”…...thats me asking not Trump.

I guess i cant be "woke" because i dont follow the lefty doctrine... or because im too old to be bothered. 😁 If you're not woke, you're probably a gammon (According to the leftys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRINITY Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I am 67 years old and throughout all those years I have had many a disappointment. Job interviews failed, sporting competitions not won, teams not selected for, the list goes on. After every failure I have thought, I must not be good enough and more talented people chosen,so be it, up my game and try harder next time. How much easier is it just to blame being a victim of racism ,rather than accepting reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel b3 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 being a bit "woke" isnt a problem , being a bit woke makes sure that you arent a blatantly ignorant racist , or blatantly ignorant sexist etc , its the woke extremists that are the real problem . im a bit of a vegetarian , as in i eat vegetables , but i also eat meat (sensible) , but if you take being a vegetarian to the extreme , you end up with a vegan , and thats when things start to go pear shaped .

Pistol p Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 After trying to explained "woke" to my 88 year old mum, she capped it perfectly. "There was only one word that put the cat among the pigeons and bought every one together at the same time when I was young," she said. The word was luftwaffe.
