Mala Yousafzai :Very brave principled kid

Madonna : Vacuos airheaded self publicist desperate for attention

http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2012...n_1966302.html

She even said this without any realisation of the richter scale induced blast from the irony-ometer exploding

Revealing the news of the attack on 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai had “made her cry” she asked the crowd: “Do you understand the sickness and absurdity of this?”

Oooh what i wouldnt have given to be in the crowd with a megaphone at that point

It's absurd. Start a new thread on this video and I'll pull it apart piece by piece. And if you stick to the classical principles of the dialectic I'll pull your defence of it apart, too. Nice beheading image.

No, nothing can be gained by arguing with an idiot. The idiot will always win through experience

Brave little girl and I wish her all the best but surely Pakistan has hospitals that could have treated her, after all, most of the doctors were probably trained here anyway.

Yes, many congrats to Malala. Merely 17 years old and well deserved. World should be very proud of this kid.

An amazing person. She is the embodiment of good. Her sheer will, strength and bravery shows that there is an antidote to the horror we see in this world.

God we need more like her.

We need education.

The kids follow what the so called elders tell them. Malala has shown that education and questioning opens other ways, those that don't lead into some feudal dark ages system.

For once, is NSR agreed on one thing?

She's just a kid who we have made made into a mascot, no worse than that, we've build a weird cult around her.

Nothing against her per se, I'm fairly indifferent to her, she certainly doesn't say anything interesting or especially insightful, just bien pensant feel good platitudes.

You make a very valid point, without googling, who here knows who Kailash Satyarthi is?

She's for better or worse a symbol of what is possible if education is available isn't she , that's about it

Her peers back home find it inspiring, and presumably taliban / isis hate the western message

Put it into BTL I'd imagine. Allegedly her Dad is buying a BTL empire for her here.

Which country does she reside in?
Will she have to pay tax on the money?

There is no safer investment than in bricks and mortar and there are plenty of potential tenants where landlords can facilitate and provide a roof over their heads and will pay handsomely for it.

Malala has Canadian and UK citizenship at least IIRC , family have been given UK citizenship.......

Don't think tax is payable, like winning the lottery.
