  • nike? essentially they are a greedy business. all this must be a front to ensure sales in the future? dunno, can anyone shed light on the nike foundation, even if they invest a bit of money in these schemes, it's a drop in the ocean compared to the profits they make, and the damage they've done?

  • Congrates on your new nomination to head the madatory Obama Youth

  • How can we help Africa when we can't help ourselves? Perhaps you've forgotten the last 8 years? If so, let me refresh your memory: The US was a has-been superpower. Then, some guys crashed a plane into some buildings and everyone knew we were a paper tiger. Then, the president, VP and most of Congress stole all of the money and started 2 illegal wars. Then, everyone on wall street figured out that our financial system was smoke and mirrors and cashed out. You? You're the one holding the bag.

  • I believe you had huge talk about the issue which is quite understandable but I will be waiting to watch a video clip which will give us the idea that you guys not only talk but do somthing as well. If I may speak from my experience than I would like to request you to think something different than funding bigshot NGOs because your initiative wouldn't reach to your targeted audiences.

  • jesus, what a shrew. just a way to categorize people so she can sell more fucking shoes with a new demographic.

    ...and we have a "10-point action plan" ...and we all talked and we all said it in front of each other and we all agreed on it...and adolescent girls are the most powerful people in the world...

    oh my fucking gawd!!! what the fuck has she been smoking??? you fail.

  • Talk, talk, talk, no action...

  • The question was about equality... as soon as you start saying one gender is inherently better or more powerful you totally undermine that (which a lot/most feminists do). The question was spot on but I disliked the response, men and women need to be treated completely equal.

  • I am unable to attach my video, but look at my submission "One World, One Community". It will turn every Developed World secondary school into an NGO for an African community. In so doing, it will transform the African community and our young people.

  • Bravo Maria for listening to Noor Akhter's message and bringing her voice into the Davos discussions. I am sure she is the only Bangladeshi teenager that has addressed such a high powered group.  I hope you'll not only count girls who live in poverty but make their lives count by giving them what Noor says she and girls like her really want.
