Personally I don’t feel one can argue that she isn’t doing good but I do feel there is an argument to be had that the way she goes about it can do more harm than good and even border on immature. Especially given that the people who most need to hear her message are those who are most likely to ignore her due to her age and station.

    What has she done that you believe is immature?

    I didn’t say I believe she is immature. I said I feel there is an argument to be had that the way she goes about doing things can do more harm than good and border on immature.

    Can you provide an example, even a hyperbole, that would support this stance?

    The “both sides” argument is an argument for only one side. You’re just a coward.

    Again, I don’t think you actually read my comment. I literally said what she is doing is good and I don’t think people can argue against that but that I understood why people are pissed about how she is going about it. But if I you think I am a coward for speaking my mind then you need to rethink your priorities.

    You’re not a coward for speaking your mind, you’re a coward for not taking a stance. You’re doing nothing and complaining about others doing something.

    Get fucked.

    I dont feel like you are reading what I am saying. I can see both sides. I’m not arguing for either one.

    You claim that you "feel there is an argument to be had that the way she goes about doing things can do more harm than good and border on immature."

    I'm asking for what the evidence supporting immaturity would be in that argument.

    I am really not getting what is so hard to understand about what I said or why people in this thread really want to fight about it but I guess I’ll say it again;

    I can see why people are pissed about how she goes about spreading an otherwise good message and I am willing to listen to them. I am not arguing either side.

    And people are simply asking you to provide an example of why people might be pissed. Since you said you understand why.

    You refuse to do it.
