Is there some lefty university course that drums into you the mantra, "When examining an issue always seek the immoral course of action."

She's right about this, but I'm not going to argue about it because I can't be bothered.
You think I'm immoral - so be it.
I don't for a second think you're immoral. We happen to disagree on this issue but I know you to be a thinking, cogent human being.Quote:

I just want him to get deaded :shrug:
OK. Putting aside the fact that her reason for not allowing him to be extradited in order to face trial is that the charges against him have not been tested in a court of law (which you have to agree is monstrously fúcking stupid given that he avoided that happening by hiding in the Embassy), can we just take a look at the rank hypocrisy of saying 'We believe all rape victims - unless the accused is someone we see as an ally'?Quote:

I'm sorry, a, but this is not acceptable on any level.

I tend to agree. The other day, Remain MPs were whining about feeling threatened and having nasty words said to them and I thought: 'You know what? Good. If our elected representatives choose to set themselves in opposition to those who elected them, they absolutely should be frightened.'Quote:

Much of what we laughingly call education consists of box-ticking exercises and is in and of itself no proof of intelligence whatsoever.

But you aren't making the argument that people with degrees are not more likely to be intelligent than those that do not, are you?Quote:

No, I'm not making that argument. There is obviously a level of intelligence required to get past a certain point of educational attainment that some people simply do not have and thus will never get to university.Quote:

Gracious me, yes. And of course the whole thing is exacerbated by Comrade Blair's insistence that everyone have a degree. Within my own family there are people with degrees who struggle to operate anything more complex than a tea towel.Quote:

The real point is good breeding, I think. The idea being that if parents, let us say, are well-made enough to arrange decent billets at top educational establishments for their brood, however they do it, then that ought to count for something. Ought to count for alot, in fact. It strongly suggests that they and theirs are of the right sort, regardless of the kids perhaps all being thick ****s.
The acceptance and/or attendance at a good school is the thing, rather than the performance once there. Or even before and after.

Different matter entirely. A vote was held and the result is in; not liking that result is no reason not to credit it :shrug:
