An Edina woman in Copenhagen for the U.N. climate conference as part of a youth group joined 30 others in shaving their heads outside the conference center on Friday, the last scheduled day of the gathering.

Valida Prentice, 24, who traveled to Copenhagen two weeks ago as an accredited observer, and the others each held a sign outside the conference center that explained why they made this symbolic gesture.

"Shaving my head can symbolize a lot," Prentice said in a prepared statement, "the ugly negotiating process, the bad decisions made by negotiators, or the catastrophic changes that unabated climate change could bring about. But for me, my shaved head symbolizes a promise of new growth in the international climate movement to secure a fair and binding international agreement on climate change."

Some women can pull off the bald look and still be beautiful.

This is not one of them.

[vpintheak]

Most definitely not.

If her hair was as greasy and as infected as her skin, maybe it’s a GOOD thing that she shaved it.

[ApplegateRanch]

Nun as in, Aint had nun and aint gonna get nun... ;^)

...and probably don't want nun.

Normally these people protest such weighty issues by taking off their clothes. I guess it’s just too bloody cold in Denmark this time of year for a traditional naked-lefty protest.

Awww, geez. This could be my niece (husband’s side, LOL), except she’s in Minnetonka. Her parents are wannabe hippies that never grew up.

Lots of deluded youth are up and coming here in the land of 10,000 taxes. I think their hope and change dreams are about to get smacked upside their shaved heads.

????????

 

I don't have a translator to convert all that moonbatese to English, so I guess I'll have to remain ignorant and un-enlightened.

Does the opinion of an accredited observer carry more weight than the opinion of an unaccredited observer?

Of course. The unaccredited observer doesn't have a badge and is probably $150 richer for not having paid for it. Therefore their opinion is... well...cheaper?

[Bon mots]

Yeah, big deal.

Moonbat chicks still won’t shave their underarms or legs.
They’ll never get it.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[TheOldLady]

It looks as if they should have been shaving her legs, too.

[TheOldLady]

OMGosh! OMGosh! Kool-aid makes you bald!

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

AAAHHGHhuuuhhh!

Get a Burka! Bag! Something! GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!

It’s idiocy with a purpose. Idiots like her are cultivated and encouraged for the purpose of making the radicals in charge of the summit fiasco look less lnsane by comparison.

"Shaving my head can symbolize a lot," Prentice said in a prepared statement...

Words symbolize a lot. She should try communicating that way.

Why a 'prepared statement' for what is supposed to be her sincere and heartfelt belief? Maybe because it was someone else's agenda on the tool's notecard?

What's do these loons do when they get in a heated debate? Do they try to duel with facepaint?

[John-Irish]

It’s very true what you say. However, idiots like Pelosi are still idiots. Which in and of itself wouldn’t be so bad but this woman is an idiot who holds the gavel to The House of Representatives of The United States .

[Slings and Arrows]

:^) OH YEAH!

[metmom]

What is wrong with people that they think that making a *statement* is going to make any difference?

All it does is show that she and her friends are attention whores.
