They seem to be basically defeating the whole idea of university developing debating skills and creating an opposing argument to counter others opinions. I disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 What d'ya call a three testickled Bulgarian? Whodyaknickabollockoff. Old and best. re: the "safe space" stuff, I get it seems soft but for long term self-harmers, eating disorders, suicide survivors etc (for which this society has churned out an awful lot!), even though I've never formally heard of a "safe space", a trusting ring of people/community and support networks prove critical for recovery. Thank goodness we are not in 1947 when collective trauma was undergone by the nation but nobody expressed anything emotional. Function. Function. Function.

CotswoldRed Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I've always though you can tell those who went to uni and those that didn't. The vast majority of uni grads enjoy a debate, know how to put their point across and can accept a difference of opinion without getting offended, taking it personally and falling out. Little to do with intelligence, just a result of living with others in shared accommodation and the like, and having to stand on your own feet nice and early. Of course, I'm generalising. If university allows debate to be stifled its bad for society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last month I've been to Scotland 3 times, moved house, trained at 13 different client sites and done around 4'000 miles in my company car. I've read about 2% of the posts this month.. probably less than 10% all year. The report button is key on here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the other mods have said you can always use the report button to alert us to anything we don't see. We do have a swear filter which does remove most stuff which might not be suitable for younger eyes or people who don't wish to read such stuff. But it seems you are complaining about the *****? My personal advice would be to develop a backbone, it's going to be a tough life for you if you are offended by a few asterisks Perfect. Post of the week!

I know tempers have been running hot but is there really any need to reduce every thead down to this level. People need to play nice and get back to well thought out exchanges of option. Grow a pair of bollox ffs. And to make it all better just look at the cute kittens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
