Pay to do "Media Studies"? Perhaps they'll start doing proper courses now...

Well, some go for the belt, others the cigarette in the mouth (unless she is sucking a lollipop). Any takers on the neck scarf? We'll know when things get really stupid when somebody comments on her shoes

QUOTE (blackdog @ Nov 11 2010, 12:34 PM) Not really the same thing - protests, even when they turn violent, are a long way from bombings, shootings and knee capping. I guess that most governments have their roots in a violent struggle of some sort, certainly the English does. Protest is a legitimate way of making clear one's feelings for or against something - sometimes it works. Without protests we wouldn't have the vote, we could be press ganged into the navy, we wouldn't have trade unions, hangings would be taking place all the time, we would be paying poll tax, etc. Many of the 'advances' (like them or loathe them) towards modern society, towards the things we now talk about as 'rights', were only won from the government of the day through protest. You drew into question my example as being too extreme. I'd say that there is also a difference between the examples you gave in the second paragraph (examples ranging from social abuse through to tyranny) and the 'student riot'. |

If buy English you mean Language then I'd hope they would already have that mastered. If you mean Literature then I think it's only fair that has been chopped as I see that more as a personal indulgence than as a benefit to mankind. |

I agree with the protests, but I don't ever agree with violence.
How long will it be before new certified teachers, nurses and other graduate taking public service low paid positions will be earning enough to pay back the loans, that in the meantime will still be growing due to intrest? Loads of promises have been broken, maybe it's time that people take to their feet and make their voices heard. It's funny the the polices of the parties prior to the election don't meet the expections of those who voted them in power. Personally, I think that protest will be the only form of communication that those in power will listen to at this moment of time, as it's clear that their conscience and moral values have decided to take a back seat until the next election.
