What is the point of Malala?

There's a very real chance that I'm just completely ignorant on this subject, but to me it seems Malala is just some over-hyped, overrated, possibly pretentious (we'll get to that) teenager.

She spoke out against the Taliban, like plenty of other people, was targeted to be killed, like plenty of other people and then was lucky enough to have seemingly competent doctors at hand to save her. That seems to literally be what Malala boils down to. So now she flies around the world, making speeches where she refers to herself in the third person while she talks about generic topics that every politician, world leader and activist goes on about already... from what I can see making no impact whatsoever. Quite recently she made a trip to Nigeria, where the president "promised her" that the government will "bring back our girls". Obviously that was their intention in the first place, what exactly did Malala achieve by making this visit? She also won a nobel peace prize... I am honestly very confused.

I think the OP is resentful she's done more and is more intelligent (which is more than grades or academia) at 17 than he is, or most were at that stage on this forum....

And what does "what has she done?" mean exactly? I think the pertinent point is "what will she do?" She's still young and her foundation is helping people.

Oh look, yet another vague ****ing comment with no actual damn substance at all, which simply points out how she is a good person and I, apparently, am a ****ty person. Like I have said to other posters in this thread, please do enlighten me, what exactly is it that she has done. Not some vague **** about how she is nice/intelligent/whatever, what she has DONE. PLEASE.

"what will she do?"

And I just stated my opinion, just as you have done....I'm not interested in a discussion, just commenting on your envy of her..

Why do I need to discuss this with you? meh, I don't care, I just offered my opinion on the topic at hand....

Sorry, this your post has strengthened my desire not to engage with you.....I don't do "battles" over the Web with strangers, it's not my style/scene...

Good night, i'll leave you to your envy of a person who most likely doesn't give a damn who you are...

lol...clearly you don't comprehend English...

Suffice to say I and others of a similar standpoint only offered what we think...that's all that needs to be said and done.

thread is silly..

What is the point of a person..

Well, usually to survive, re-produce, support those they care about, indulge in pleasures etc. etc.

But you seem to be looking for something very tanagable.. so ok:

She helped set up the malala fund which invests money into education, training, and community solutions in third world countries..

-- not bad really.. Especially when you consider its only just began, and will likely grow through her life.


Is she the most kind, generous, amazing, wonderful person on the earth? who knows, almost certianly not, and it almost certinaly matter..

But she is using her fame to invest real money into communities that need it..

Will her work make a difference? well, maybe we can judge that in the future.. but at the moment honestly your thread just stinks of jelousy..

So what is the point of her? well given most people have not set up charitable funds by 17 years old, and go their whole lives without doing as much.. I would say there is a good point to her..

Pretty good post until I got to the end.

1. Ah, question someone who everyone likes even slightly and the jealousy card will for certain be thrown at you. How original.

2. You are the product of your environment. Most 17 year olds don't fall into a situation that they can build from and eventually set up charitable funds.

haha...sorry, I just think you're envious of her.....

And I just stated my opinion, just as you have done....I'm not interested in a discussion, just commenting on your envy of her..
