Does anyone support the students?

[Ian]

We all have our own views and most of us will not have them changed.
I am personally guilty of getting over heated on this subject and for that I apologise if I have upset anyone.

I don't want to fall out with friends - as they say in the navy for good reason - no sex / politics or religion below decks

So why don't we park this BUT have a famous CBF Poll - with the question exactly as it was originally phrased and just options of YES or NO?

We will over complicate it if we provide an option of - without violence - because I think most of us would vote YES if it was without violence that is the point - many of us think by continuing their actions in this manner - sadly the students are now aiding and abetting thugs.

That way it can't be "rigged" (members only) and I am willing to learn if I am in the minority - I need to understand WHY.

Ps: But no bringing Tinx back from an overseas junket to vote

[saoirse]

well I will def vote no
I lost all  respect for them when they didnt torch Charlie and his bird

call themselves rioters-

Good Man - that makes it 2 - 0 to us according to my abacus

The gist of this thread seems to have drifted from whether you support the action of the students to whether you need a degree to get a good job. I want to comment on the second point. No you do not need a degree to succeed in business. I left school with 5 O levels and spent a lot of my own time in technical colleges. At the age of 25 I achieved a City and Guilds qualifiaction in Paper Technology at RGIT (Rober Gordons Institute of Technology) in Aberdeen. This certificate would now be a degree as RGIT now has university status. Anyway I did very nicely from this. On the other hand my son got a 1st class honours degree in Economics and Business Studies from Plymouth Uni. He initially did loads of temping jobs and eventually ended up working 12.5 hour nights (4 0n /4 off) in a JD sports warehouse. When he met his now wife he sold his Lotus and paid 6 grand for a Computeach course. He is now well up the ladder as a programmer and the sky is the limit.

'I lost all respect for them when they didnt torch Charlie and his bird'

What a sick statement.

Agree Peecee, what a completely sick statement. Saoirse I know more than likely you are saying these things to get a reaction from people, and you are acheiving that. I dread to think what sort of person you really are when you can say something like that. Someone who actually wants that to happen to another person is sick in my opinion, you need help. You are truly disgusting.

I am shocked too and I wrote it

You need to get out more or lead a less sheltered life if black humour has such an effect on you

I do agree with our republican in a way. I have written earlier how harrowing it must have been for them and that we shouldn't wish to see that happen to anyone. But they were pretty pathetic anyway as angry mobs go! Urinating on our cenotaph these naughty rich kids can manage, but bringing down the state when the heir to the throne is presented to them? No they aren't quite that angry and it is getting a little late. Worthy of special note is the gimp who was shouting "off with their heads". The literal translation of his sentiment being "Beheading the heir to the throne and his wife is an excellent idea, I hope someone else listens to me and does it because I am just a sad bloke with a big gob".

[tinkerman]

I dont think you have a big gob

You drunk again?
