Oh its all a complete misunderstanding! I thought you were just dumping unfunny shit one liners in every thread in an attempt to get some cheap laughs/ pass yourself off as a successful troll, of course you weren't.
If anything I'm more annoyed about your complete inability to tell between slight amusement and pity and getting 'right wound up'. Simply getting a reply is not enough to constitute successful trolling, it has to be a flame reply. Sick of lazy mirthless idiots trying to pass themselves off as trolls, do it properly.
Congratulations, I'm glad to see you're proud of your awesome achievement, lets break out the Diet Cola to celebrate!
To much plastic surgery, its the Joan Rivers of the automotive world.
Extreme camber is silly, and it looks like it had an unfortunate disagreement with a silage tanker, not so sure about the combination of shiny gold wheels with the 'rat rod' look either, poor thing, what was wrong with it before?
It means that some courses are far less diluted (in demand even) than others. Again you're using one not very representative case as an example for every course, and its not suprising that things turned out the way they did seeing as sales isn't a particularly academic career choice and I can't imagine Mexican-American relations is particularly high regarded degree.
Don't you think that in your desperation to discredit higher education you might be clutching at straws a bit?
Essentially your position is that because you think you're better than a handful of graduates you've met that you can use this as an example of every student. You're making very bold statements about something you have no experience of and apparently its me that the ignorant one?
Fine, carry on being cynicool and completely close minded to things you know nothing about, its amazing you know so much about what goes on in higher education despite admitting to dropping out early.
I'm doing this so I don't have to stack Xbox games on shelves, the subject and subsequent career I have chosen requires as much education as it does hands on experience, hence why I took a degree. Its also one which is in demand and is of significant benefit to everyone in a wide range of not too obvious ways.
I suppose I could stay back in my home town spending benefits on alcohol and terrorising the local folk, don't shoot me down just because I'm doing something with my life. At least in this case the taxpayer might get something in return.
You might be able to do that in IT, again every subject and line of employment is different, some are based on hands on experience, some are based more on theoretical knowledge and research skills. Your attemps to tar every one with the same brush are quite frustrating.
The state can at least help if it can't fund everything, what you're proposing is every man for themselves. Which can't work when there are few people who can actually help themselves completely.
The majority of people will still need state assistance even if taxes are dropped, £250,000 is a big scary number but when you spread it out over a life time its still not enough to live off should everything be privatised.
We can afford to cut lots of things before education, seeing as its a more valuable investment. I'm not in denial about the defecit, just theres better ways of reducing it.
The case of an Art degree can't be used to discredit the entire system. We can't afford to keep funding at current levels, but we can't afford to cut it entirely either. Again you completely fail to think in anything other than black and white. This is what getting all your knowledge from the media and google does to you.
Of course, because when picking the countries most promising, hard working and intelligent people its always best to discourage the poor, because wealth directly correlates to intelligence, of course!
One day you might need some serious help off the state or even another person, and I hope the reply is 'tough'.
Do you think Richard Branson runs the whole show single handed, do you think he flies the planes, drives the trains and makes the records? He employs professionals to make the money for him, and has done for a very long time. The simple, black and white way in which you lot look at things makes me laugh, it also probrably goes some way towards explaining why you're a bunch of ignorant nobodies.
You clearly don't understand the concept of tax, everyone has to make a contribution, this is not a case of a few people having to pay for everyone else, at some point everyone pays their dues and everybody benefits, even students. But when you've been fed right wing bullshit most of your life and not been smart enough to ever question what you're told its not suprising that you think you're being singled out and victimised.
Again you fail to understand that educated professionals benefit everyone.
Haha, as if education is the single cause of the national debt, there were other causes too, like some not paying billions of tax and MPs taking public money for themselves. Out of all the things public money is spent and wasted on, education is one of the most worthwhile investments, regardless of if you think you can become a rocket scientist by reading wikipedia.
Exactly, the amount of hypocrisy in this thread is shocking, how would you feel when you got old enough to need some assistance that I didn't want to support you out of nothing but selfish greed?
No, because you can't, its pretty clear that you're all talk and no action.
Lets see what you've achieved then? In nearly every thread you post in you make some vague claim about 'having worked in the industry', but I've yet to see you actually back up anything.
Sorry but I don't see how a free education can leave me several tens of thousands of pounds in the red, but lets not let the facts get in the way!
Also again you completely fail to understand why state money is put into education, because it benefits the nation, but I guess thats to be expected from a mind as closed as yours.
