skinz Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 You really do seem to have a large chip on your shoulder about students dont you? Leave them be, surely you were young and had fun once? Young maybe, not convinced about the "fun" bit though. The chip has probably a lot to do with a lack of intelligence through poor education, or just unable to seize past opportunities offered.

Conrod Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Typical sour grapes/projection/'aren't our boys and girls wonderful' tiresomeness, with added disregard to the facts. Hurrah! (particularly amusing that the OP bangs on about students boozing - has he never come across a bunch of squaddies on a night out I wonder?) As you will never have the mettle required to compare yourself with your betters in uniformed service – those who protect your freedom to spout left wing drivel - you really ought not to criticise them.

The quotes you've picked out are (IMHO) aimed at the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosxuk Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I doubt anybody would call praising the armed services 'tiresomeness' if they shared the praise. But put the "tiresomeness" in context :- Typical sour grapes/projection/'aren't our boys and girls wonderful' tiresomeness, with added disregard to the facts. Lets just split that sentance up into components: - Typical - sour grapes/projection/'aren't our boys and girls wonderful' - tiresomeness - with added disregard to the facts. He was calling the whole viewpoint tiresome, not the armed forces, or praise of them, tiresome. I think you're reading a lot more into this than exists based on your previous dislike of Halibut.

cherry drop Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Student discounts? what as these little spoilt ungrateful kids ever done to deserve any type of discount, what about our Service people getting a discount, showing them a big thankyou for what they do for this country, Stundent Discount, HOW DARE YOU! please tell me how you came to the conclusion that students are spoilt? let me tell you, im working 3 jobs in my final year of uni and by next April i will be £20,000 in debt to "better" myself, so when i see a foolish comment like this it really gets me angry.
