Glasgia I gave him around 8 warnings what will happen unless he does a good job with his sheets. And what I got? That I am a liar, that I do not know a thing (mind it I work with that kinds of sheets all the time), that his company is ultra profitable and so on. It is not my job to tell him for what I am charging him so he can edit it.
After my post about what has happened using his lattest sheets he went to correct them and claim it is illegal. Well sorry he used all the credits he had with me.
Not to mention the amount of times I had to call MV or Ainin to fix his godmoding in treads...

I'm looking to become a sports journalist; a lot of the Russell Group unis want a French A Level to get onto an English degree, so it'll help, yeah.


Dunno why, but your school sounds really old fashioned to me...

Seems a bit weird to ask for French for an English degree, but I guess it makes sense - If you can learn one language, you can learn another or you can learn your own really well.


Yeah, I suppose it is really; the main building was built before the First World War, so it isn't exactly modern.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't mind though, I'm pretty good with languages.

Oh no, we've done about World War One as well. They just managed to link it to Hitler and how much of a bastard he was every two seconds.

On the bright side, I suppose Kam can't claim that the British system has indoctrinated me against Communism :P

Except I can. :) . Education is the propaganda arm of whatever governmental organisation/private organisation wants you to believe, especially when it comes to history.

They've taught me about Communism for all of half an hour, and none of it was negative. I decided for myself what I thought of it.

I don't have a full transcript; I can't write notes fast enough to copy exactly what the teacher was saying. The textbook from my bag just talks about the Spartacists, their failed revolution against Friedrich Ebert's government, and that thousands of Spartacists in Germany were murdered by the Freikorps during failed uprisings, including Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht.

No, not at all. They say exactly the same thing about the right wing Freikorps. Also, I've just had a look through the book at any other topics that I won't be doing that mention Communism. The section on Russia from 1914-24 talks about the successes of the Bolsheviks in the revolution and the Civil War. The section on Stalin, and Russia from 1924-41 talks about his successes at making the USSR an economic power, and how he transformed the country to allow it to defend itself against Hitler's invasion in 1941. The section about the Vietnam War talks about the American war crimes there, and how North Vietnam, in effect, had defeated the USA when it took Saigon.

Are you going to tell me that all that implies that Communism doesn't work ??

Her Majesty's Government implies that the monarch has a position in our country's government. We only have membership in the CoN, we're not a Commonwealth Realm. Therefore, there is no Her Majesty's Government.

I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Just that the Queen of Britain happens to be the head of an organisation based around common history, that common history being British imperial rule.
