Anyone else sick of this girl who has won Nobel Peace Prize

Howdi your post is contemptible....she's achieved more in her short life than 99.9% of the population would achieve even if they lived to 1000.

Well said posy.

totally agree with your comments posy

didnt she hadn't achieved but im sick of her now, we dont a running commentary

Nobel peace prize went down the hole when Obama received it



Kissinger surely?

posy...continued....the media seem to be asking her opinion on every topic on planet earth and whilst I appreciate and acknowledge her contribution, brilliant for someone so young...lets hang on a minute ..they are treating her like some modern day saint.

Since 1901, it (The Nobel Peace Prize) has been awarded annually (with some exceptions) to those who have "done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."[1]
Wiki.

There's no denying the merit in the child's work, but how does it satisfy any of the conditions set out above?
If this is one of the exceptions mentioned then surely the award should be re named?
Awarding it to people for reasons that do not satisfy the original criteria, is simply devaluing the prize and a snub on those who have had it awarded for the correct reasons?

interesting post, ta, dr

meanwhile angelina jolie is made a dame

meanwhile angelina jolie is made a dame

And Jordan no doubt overlooked again.

Agreed the media are going totally over the top, but that is what we have to expect when everyone is trying to usurp each other in a relentless world of social media.
But cut through the carp (anag), and give this girl credit for what she has achieved in trying to change the attitudes of a region who's values are stuck in a previous age.

after picking up the nobel peace prize surely this young lady could turn her full attention to sorting out betfairs football in play delays situation...

good post moon , v balanced unlike some

She's an inspirational figure the way she stood up to the Taliban and they way she hsn't allowed what happened to her to ruin her life. I also admire the fact that given her unique story she is using her platform attemting to do good. She's very young to be given such an award though and naive in her thought processes as any child would be of her age. Her comment about women even in the west not being treated as human beings was just plain daft.

She should start a tipping line.  I bet she is in the know when it comes to cricket betting.

It is not that bad

She did a brave thing going to school despite warnings

and standing up for women's education in the Afghanistan is a reasonable cause

It was also a terrible blunder the Taliban shooting her, lost them massive sympathy

one can't really go shooting 14 year old kids

I don't listen to what she says now, In the West I think it is men who are the endangered species

not women, they get everything they want now

I think this award has become of a political statement now

I don't place any real value on it now

It's as valuable as a lingfield maiden

I think all the seethers are missing a point. You are directing your venom at an extremely brave young lady...far braver I would bet than any of them. The fact that you are "sick of hearing about her" is not HER fault.
She simply wanted to go to school and she saw this as her right. I have no doubt whatsoever that she was fully aware of the danger that this incurred. She was assassinated for it. Shot in the head. The fact that she didn't die was pure fluke. She was not supposed to survive.
And now, after surgery, she is still attempting to highlight the problems that we, as western males, cannot even imagine. Living your entire life locked away in a back room, simply to cook and have children.
As for your references to her comments on western women I would suggest that her opinion can only have been formed from her short experiences in this country. Have you stopped to consider that she might not be referring European women? There are a hell of a lot (I believe) of young girls in this country who are not treated as equals.
I refer, of course, to ancient customs that some of our immigrant population want to continue that are directly opposed to our Western ideals.

Save your nasty remarks for the various media, for it is they who you should condemn, NOT this innocent girl!

I note the family sat around together mother and girl in stoneage covers and the boys and husband in western dress -  I just love the hypocris y of it all.  And - she is here and safe hmmmm!!!

If she was assassinated it would be a posthumous award.

For summarising the status of girls in PAK and AFG tribal areas who want an education in a few sentences, I think Naydam should get an award.

well said NAYDAM, i couldnt have put it better myself.

Yes. very well put indeed. Remarkable young lady.

At the start of her interview on the news, she referred to herself in the third person, which was a bit worrying.

Told you she was remarkable. lol

"For I, Malala, am no longer prepared to tolerate this crap!"

Then she unleashed a beam of energy from her eyes that dissolved the BBC guy. Did no-one else spot this?

Leazes67. I was using a bit of 'poetic licence. Obviously the girl was not dead. But the person who shot didn't realise that. A bullet to the head usually does the trick. This one survived. Even THAT wasn't her fault!

A wonderful young lady. I begrudge her nothing.

I, Velasquez, agree.

She needs that Noble Prize, like she needs a hole in the head.

Stickywicket!

Some say it's brave to defy the Taliban.
Others (me included)say it's stupid to stand in front of a religious nutjob who has a loaded gun.
The girl got lucky.
She was shot in the head and survived.
Under normal circumstances she'd be dead, and no more would have been heard of her after a week.

You're on a Stickywicket! with that, son, 'cos them weren't no normal circumstances.

The world would be a nicer place with more people like her. Standing up to the Bullies , good on her!

There's a marked difference between standing up to a bully, like you  would in a shcool playground, and agitating a nutter with a gun, when you're not armed.

Would you do what she did?

I wouldn't.

I'd sooner pick off the nutter with a rifle, like a sniper, from a safe distance. 

He won't bully any more, and I'd be injury free.

How does standing up to a bully promote peace?

It's like giving the peace prize to the American air force for bombing North Vietnam.
Or giving it to the Israelis for invading Palestine and standing up to Hamas and its rockets.

Give her an award by all means but make it a meaningful one.

i have not read one nasty comment posted on here you clown

She wasn't brave, she was stupid and naive, and nearly paid with her life because of it,in fact she's incredibly lucky to even be here, if she was brave she'd be living in Pakistan, but she lives in Birmingham, which is like being at home but without the Taliban, truly selfless and noble people don't collect wards anyway. Having said that, she will be an asset to the country, unlikely to end up claiming.

Howdi crawl back to under the stone you emerged from.You started this nasty thread and are quite obviously an inadequate  individual unable to accept the achievement of a girl who has more courage in her little finger than you have in your entire body. Your snide remarks are shameful.

I think some of us just work to different parameters.

Brave Girl Stood firm for her beliefs even though it nearly cost her, her life ...

Can someone tell me what the lass has actually achieved except fame for herself?

MINGORA, Pakistan, Oct 11 (Reuters) - In the hometown of Nobel prize winner Malala Yousafzai, the students at the government-run Girls' High School Mingora sit cross-legged on sacks and sheets on the floor because there is not enough furniture.

The windows are broken, the walls dirty, and the teachers angry. Their anger is not directed at Malala herself, they say, but at a world that lavishes attention on her while ignoring the neglect and violence in her home of Swat Valley.

"It's all Malala, Malala, Malala," complained mathematics teacher Saima Khan. "There are hundreds of people who have sacrificed everything and lost everything. No one has given them anything."

At a cake-cutting ceremony on Saturday, politicians carrying posters of Malala jostled for space with civil society activists before marching to the press club along potholed streets piled high with rubbish.

Many residents looked askance at the procession, pointing out that even as leaders paid lip service to Malala's education drive, they were allowing schools in her hometown to crumble under government neglect and continued military occupation.

Anyone?

Well, I think they need to take it up with their 'leaders'. Don't you?

I suppose they could always give her the job of Prime Minister. I think that would certainly help to bring about improvements.

Truly remarkable young woman of immense courage. Fully deserved the award. An inspiration to us all.

I agree mightymac

and that is amazing coming me, I must be the worst misogynist on here

This award always causes some political furore

Surprised it coming on here, would have thought it would be more from your extreme Muslims

Not a lot of them on this forum

The most deserving prize I've seen in years.

Can someone tell me what the lass has actually achieved except fame for herself?


I see.

Standing up for a basic right and being shot for it?

Fair play to the girl and respect.

Crippen my argument isn't with you it is with the betfair community village idiot Howdi who has posted 24000 times in the past 10 years and judging by the titles of those he has started I doubt if any of them are of any value whatsoever.If the effing twit is fed up of seeing her on the news (and to be honest i've only seen her once in the past couple of days) then all he has to do is switch off the tv.I am angry at the way he phrased the original post of this thread which was an invitation to others to join in criticising/abusing her because she's from the sub continent.

That's fine Ovalman, but what did she achieve for what she was standing up for?
According to that article I posted nothing tangible has come out of her efforts.

criticising/abusing her because she's from the sub continent.

I'm sorry but I can't find that bit.

ive been on here 10 yrs never read such rubbish. Posy is a half baked idiot who likes the sign of his own voice. Mentality don't agree with him- we must be idiots . CLOWN

basically calling me a racist, whilst he hides behind his laptop. (I've only 'banned' 3 people here in 10 years, he's the 4th) .

howdi you're an illiterate idiot......what does'sign of his own voice mean' ?

You write you've had 3 people banned ;what a sad, odious person you must be

that banning button sure is bliss. ^^^^ moody arse.

I've just read all Howdi's posts, and neither can I.

Perhaps posy will show us where Howdi said this.

To be fair to the wee lassie ,she did not have much choice in this,stay in a sh!tehole where extreme muslim philosophy was being taught in schools or come to birmingham where!
Extreme muslim philosophy was trying to be taught in schools innitt.

It isn't just taught in schools. It's their whole way of life. Their society is dominated by the attitude that men are supreme and women are simply a possession for the purpose of cleaning, cooking and bearing children. They spend their lives locked away and not allowed to go out. This rule is occasionally relaxed, but they must be accompanied by a male chaperone.
They are not allowed out because the sight of them might fill the males with sinful desires. You'd think they would lock the bloody fellas up! THEY are the problem.
And seeing as these girls/women are going to spend the rest of their existence locked away...then there is no need for them to go to school. What would they need to know?

That's what she is fighting against. Their whole male-dominated society! She is fighting against attitudes that lead to abuse of young girls.

A little Muslim girl has shown extremist Muslims up. So they believe that young girls should have their heads blown off for wanting to be educated.
Maybe they  fear that they will work out how to break the shackles of use and abuse they have been subject to. Muslim world would be a better place if it had more women in positions of power.

I'm not really bothered about her or her campaign.

The celebrity-loving media really love to build her up as if her making a few speeches in the West is going to make much of a difference in Pakistan or Afghanistan or wherever muslim fanatics are in control.

They certainly are in Rotherham, Middlesbro', Leeds, Bradford and Oxford. 

And seeing as these girls/women are going to spend the rest of their existence locked away...then there is no need for them to go to school. What would they need to know?

How to cook, clean and have babies

That's what she is fighting against. Their whole male-dominated society! She is fighting against attitudes that lead to abuse of young girls.

Now she can fight from the safety of Birmingham. As for the abuse of young girls, she's safe now, over here they only go for white girls, so it's obviously racist abuse.

I bet posy won't like that comment, seeing as how he/she thinks Howdi was racist.

The Muslim world will catch up in the way they treat women ,about 100 years behind civilised western cultures.  Put down for so long yet many will have so much to offer.  Controling ,soft Muslim men are going to have stand on there own 2 feet without being able to mistreat their wives.

I have no way of knowing if they only go for white girls, although I would be surprised if that was the case. I would have they went for underage girls of any description or religion, for that matter.
I would guess that they prey upon any young girls which are available. These would naturally be white girls and perhaps this is also distorted by personal preferences for pale-skinned girls. This, also, would not be entirely surprising.

*would have thought*

I've fallen out with Howdi if he's not a racist.

Don't think he's a racist, just an immature prick.

I don't care what you think, I want posy to answer it.

posy...as you persist in calling me a racist (and hurling insults at me on various threads) when I simply posted a 'lazy' thread ...poorly explained I'll grant you that.....

How about doing something constructive with your time....I'll challenge you to a quiz on here, someone sets the questions & we play first to 20, losers fooks off the forum for good . As you have called me thick numerous times, in recent days, I'd suggest you may want to take up my challenge, otherwise you will look a shade foolish and no doubt , you can beat me comfortably.

I look forward to hearing from you. Win or lose I will donate £50 to the girls charity (nobel prize winner) as I am certainly no racist, I'd better not be as I'm married to a south american.

So, over to you......

...this posy character out of his depth imo. Trouble makes on various forums. Not the brightest.

GINGERS

over exposed in the media that was all , asking her opinion on all matters under the sun, nothing more, nothing less, certainly doesn't make me a racist (answer to tipthe odds)

I don´t live in the UK so I don´t know if the lass is overexposed or not, but it is typical of the British media to want their piece of whoever is flavour of the month, especially when that person is photogenic and articulate and supports current orthodox thinking.

It´s no fault of the girl herself if the media try to spin her story in every way they can and its only natural if some people get tired of seeing the same face everywhere. That is no excuse however for the blatantly racist readers´posts on the Daily mail website.

If you do start this kind of thread and don´t want to be accused of racism you just have to start similar threads when the next white poster boy or girl comes along.

^^^ you could call be naive and sloppy, by creating this thread but never racist as not once have I mentioned her colour. Jesus, society has gone mad.

I hate white people so much-errol incedal
Some wooly liberal feck is going to tell me thats due to the persecution he has suffered innit.

Perhaps TipTheOdds is an alias of posy, it's how they try to convince others.

It happened on the politics forum loads of times.

Menelaus aka Extreme X aka justnow aka lizzybizzy

Northernlad aka Irish_Celtic aka bbc's embarrassed dad

all posting at the same time.

and these 2 nutjobs still accuse EeternalOptimist of having 25 aliases, and have done so for well over a year, and that the whole politics forum is just him typing to himself in different names. Of course, you only get accused of being EO when you disagree with the two nutjobs.

at lease we have each other taxi

in the words of michael jackson 'i don't care if you're black or white'.

and there I was thinking I had been very careful NOT to call you a racist - I never realised how sensitive you are howdi.

I'm not at all.

just stand up against smart arses

i thought that was part of the girls job, to be in the news as much as possible....not much sense being a human rights campaigner
