Wilf, imo student debt is feck all. It doesn't hold you back in the slightest. You might see it as a clever tool used by the elite to keep the working academic in check but I can't agree. It's nothing really.

So why do Capitalists manipulate market forces if those market forces don't control the economy? I can't get my head round that statement.
-
No-one can say for sure what the intention is,but we do know for sure it will skew the unemployment figures. If it gives British kids a better shot at life and makes our country more prosperous then bollocks to the employment figures. But what if it neither gives UK kids a better shot at life, nor makes UK prosper, what if it's the exact opposite? Then ditch it. But it's my understanding, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that our state education system is not pulling it's weight when benchmarked against other comparable countries and one reason identified for this was t

To think that 'those people' have total control is naïve imo. The politicians do have total constitutional control of this country (I think we can ignore the monarchy bit), that's a fact as far as I can see, no matter if those politicians are influenced by third parties. Even if that influence is effectively total control, it's still the politician wielding the hammer. I've never come from the stance that our democratic system is pure and doesn't allow third party influence, I'd say that's fairly plain to see but I equally don't quite buy into the full NWO story. I'm generally of the fairly mo

How many people do you know that make any use of what they learned in secondary school? A very small % of people I'm guessing,a complete waste of time for the majority,most should be out learning trades at 14 and not fecking algebra. Our kids who'll soon be stuck in 'education' until 18 won't be able to compete with other Europeans who can freely travel here and will have been in trades or trade schools since 13-14. Agreed! I should think that making kids stay on til they're 18 is for unemployment rates and nothing else... I don't agree. But I'm pretty sure the 18 thing is

Who's 'they' and how do you know this? That's obviously rhetorical, I presume you're referring to the elite that control so many aspect of society. I'd replace 'control' with 'influence' but that's another debate. Getting to the point, I'd counter your argument with; true capitalism doesn't allow state (or any force higher) control. The controlling factors are the market. Today, school/Uni education is demanded by the people because that's what's seen as being the best way to the top. If everyone was educated and the skill of washing pots was in high demand then the public wouldn't giv
-
Okay, they are some interesting points... Any capitalist system is subject to market pressure. If everyone was educated for accountancy then the dustbin emptyers and window cleaners would suddenly be in high demand. It levels out in a natural way. We are naturally socialists.... well a little yes but I see more capitalist in our nature. Unsurprisingly I don't think we fit in to either in a very nice satisfying way. We are competitive, we have to be to survive in nature, it's one of our greatest evolved traits imo. Natural selection is capitalism, but that doesn't mean we can't apply so
-
Some great points there. Well I'm glad someone agrees. In a minute someone will come along and tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about because they have coats, purse nets and any number of other inanimate objects older than me.
-
Absolutely, but is that not a good argument to reform state education? Rather than enforce a mandatory fully socialist system? To reform state education to ensure all state educated children are given the same education is to raise the masses to approach the standard of the elite. To enforce a fully socialist education system (ban private and make state the only option) is to drag the elite down to the level of the masses. Besides, I don't believe that our current state system is as bad as all that anyway. Though improvements can always be made and should always be strived for. Too
-
No, children educated through the state statistically will not have the same opportunities as those through private. But that doesn't put kids at food banks. Like I said, the state education system allows people from any social background to achieve quite reasonable comfort in life IF they are capable of making sensible decisions. Anybody from any background with sensible life choices and effort can get a University education. I wont hear any of this "poor people are priced out of Uni" because it's just not true at all. Is it fair that the rich can give their children better chances in lif
-
Can we define these less fortunate, mate? Poor folks? People raised in family's that needed welfare? Plain dumb people that couldn't make a sensible decision if they had their hand held through the process by a entire NASA Scunkworks group? I think it's important that we have state education. It gives everyone a basic level of education that should enable them to achieve a comfortable level in life irrespective of intelligence or background. The biggest problem I see is people making terrible life choices, then later in life when they are on their arse they blame the capitalist Tory's.
-
If we view the national deficit, we see relative consistency through years of tory power..... then labour get in and a shockwave hits the graph! Unfortunate timing or piss poor planning? Or repairing the damage done to infrastructure and society as a whole and making up for tax cuts made by the previous Tory administration? That's all very well but not if it's at the expense of the economy. Neither of us can pretend to be able to analyse one chart and figure it all out, it's obviously far more complex than that. But keeping things simple I don't like Labour's 'fair' politi
-
Can we just clarify this fact. Was it not the first 7 years of the New Labour rule, following nearly 20 years of tory rule, that the country was running at a surplus? Does that not speak for itself? Governments care for their economy through legislation etc as a means of increasing the pot from which to feed off. These effects aren't instantaneous and so when a new government come to power the economy will take a finite time to change and so the new government will ride on their predecessors legacy, for a short while at least. If we view the national deficit, we see relative consistency th

Ah, well why didn't you say so before. Sorry mate, I didn't make the connection. So, what do you reckon Velociraptors had for lunch on Sundays? Ya see, that old bugger Spielberg made the film E.T, just before he made Jurassic Park, which if I'm not mistaken had a few Velocirators in. See what I done there.... E.T > Spielberg > JP > Raptors! BOOM conversational technique Fraz style!!! Christ almighty, is it Friday yet!

If your ability to hold a firearm on target is as bad your ability to hold a conversation on topic, nobody need fecking panic eh?

f**k...ing...hell.......... Wilf's an ethnic!

I'm such a f***ing geek, the first thing that made me think of was Professor Zoom out of The Flash. He does the same.

I'm the only one to mention God indeed.......

Oh right'o. Must just be me reading all that crap about Hawking's brother to be about God then... and the previous post about Hawking's religious views to be about, well you know religion. ...on a thread about searching for E.T.

Apparently I wasn't blessed with a healthy helping of tolerance when him in the clouds cast me. I know about the theories surrounding extra dimensions. I was picking you up on your misuse of the word 'proven'. Something which a lot of people would do well to better understand. It's fair to say the majority of the scientific community believe there are more than 3 dimensions.
-
It's been proven there other dimensions kanny, is parrell universes, that's what there looking for at cern. No it hasn't. It's been hypothesised. PERIOD! Scientist at CERN seem to think so? No they don't. What they believe and what they have proven are two different things.

I knew you weren't far away born, lol just showing you that after all his work, he's admitting he could be wrong. What's your thoughts born, on Hawkins comments about, CERN, an the hadron collider. Just showing something completely irrelevant more like in a desperate attempt to push your agenda where ever you can. He's admitted he could be wrong has he...... WOW chuck him on the pile with every other sane thinking scientist. Anybody with any shred of credibility knows they could be wrong. It's only the batshit crazy evangelist types that haven't thought long enough on anything to fi
