http://news.sky.com/story/1164634/bae-announces-1775-shipyard-job-losses 800 years of shipbuilding to come to and end with 1'775 jobs gone! We've seen military and naval cut backs throughout the west since the end of the cold war but this kinda feels like the final blow. Producing the RNs most powerfull carriers in history, Portsmouth will go out with a bang. Another part of Britain consigned to history. What a shitter!

We've progressed a bit since the 1800s. LOL Nice try And Bohr was making a philisophical point not a scientific one. LOL -

I'm slow on the uptake mate and was convinced I was arguing with a woman, that incoherent, jumpy, illogical argument is textbook female. Fair play, he had me. -

Ain't a woman.......I'd bet on that...... Haha, just realised who you're thinking. He couldn't stay away five minutes. LOL And he might have a cock, but he's still a fecking woman! LOL -

Her name could be John Smith and you'd still know she was a woman. -
Tbh Jasher, I'd be more concerned about marching if Labour get in again. They'll do all they can to finish off the livlihoods and passions of countrymen while the whole time smiling and assuring us that shooting and fishing etc are secure with them in government. Not to mention, imposing socialist economics on us, coseying up with Brussles, encouraging multiculturalism and greater 'integration', killing off further what remains of our defence assets and generally consigning Great Britain to history books.

Forget it, it'd be embarassing. Couple hundred would go and make the pro lobby look pathetic. There's no point anyway, what exactly are we lobbying for? Cameron promised a vote in parliament, without a majority goverment the vote would go against us so what's he supposed to do? He might have f****d up plenty but we (the electorate) let him down on the hunting act repeal by not giving him a majority. But that's a hard pill to swallow so we'll just blame him anyway.
-
LOL Max, we'll just have to agree to dissagree, I hope I've put my point across. Just my opinions on education through my own experiences.
-
Well I've used all them plenty but I accept most don't but if state education didn't teach these things where would all our scientists and engineers come from? As I've said, education isn't about imprinting facts, formula and dates in your head, it's about training the mind to function effectively and giving a child a well rounded 'introduction' to the world. And coming back to the topic of learning about foreign cultures, I personally feel it is important to at least touch on these things because todays world is a lot smaller than it once was and the majority of todays children will at some p
-
But it is when Children school time is taken up learning other culturers history when they dont even know their own. Other Cultures should be learning our history whilst being schooled on British soil. Once our own History is learned by all to a acceptable standard and if time allows then touch up on other cultures history. British History and Culture first and formost in British schools Surely this is just ? Do we even know the school history syllabus Max to say what's wrong with it? Because what I remember most of it was British history, the majority of which I've forgotten, none

The vast majority of kids will never use the knowledge of other cultures (as well as 90% of the obscure crap they learn at school),we should save his sort of thing for higher education for those who have an aptitude for properly understanding and intention to use it. No point in teaching it to kids,other than to try condition them into accepting multicult as adults. That's nonesence, have you solved a quadratic equation since high school? Have you worked out the force of gravity acting on a given mass since high school? So maths and physics is pointless at high school level then in your opi

Aye, does make ya scratch ya head a bit that one. Simple as this really, they prioritise certain subjective scientific research and advancements over spending on the poor, as almost all countrys do and imo should albeit debateable on what is worth research and what isn't (another argument). The foreign aid can't be anything other than a political backhander.
-
I don't get how it's any different to learning about any other culture though, so why censor any and all teaching of specifically islamic culture? Surely due to our political, economic and defence interests in the middle east and other islamic states it makes sense to give kids at least a little understanding of their culture? Likewise I would say with Indian culture, which would only be of advantage in a future highly competitive and profitable Indian trade market. For instance in terms of defence at least the British are known for being 'in touch' with the native population of a war zone

I'm pretty sure the state does Max.
-
So, you agree with me then? Sorry for confusing your post, just the topic of conversation was History not Religious studies. Whether kids should be taught other cultures religions is surely another debate? That aside, you are complaining about kids not being taught English history but do we actually know what they are taught or just assume we do? I'm 25 and in my years of state education I covered a lot of British history as well as a couple of topics of other nations history like the American west. What exactly do we want to change?
-
At the risk of upsetting you lot, Can anybody actually tell us what is on a typical school history syllabus? Because I'll hazard a guess it's not fecking Diwaly, that's usually part of religious studies. Yes we should learn more about our own history to encourage pride in our nation but lets not let a strong sense of nationalism impinge on learning about other cultures and world history. We don't just learn history to sit here all proud to be British, it's important to understand other cultures and their history for political and economic reasons.

They say Birch burns too fast but that's the advantage of that wood not it's downside imo.... You want to get some instant heat in a room chuck a couple of Birch logs on! I've always liked having the log basket with a mix of Ash/Oak and some Birch.
-
Why's that then Pete? I thought ash was a native and quite iconic tree. certainly when I think of British wooland it's there with Oak, Beach, Horse & Sweet chestnuts. Do you mean in Pine woods?

Gone according to plan, what plan? I put an extract up from the independent, I never wrote any of my views, so what plan didn't go right? If you'd learned some manners and asked me to explain instead of just explain to me..... You might have got an answer You're a sensitive one aren't you? Perhaps if you hadn't been so condescending I might have treated you with a bit more respect. See how that works...
