i think it's time for some good old-fashioned CIA assassinations :-) (for those of you who might possibly think I meant that seriously, i didn't) In the end, though, there's no good decision here. I'm not in favor of a war against Iraq just to oust Saddam, but I do see that there are grave human rig...

There are plenty of people who do not care for Bush or his policies in the US (after all, remember he didn't win the popular vote, and it was only a controversial decision that gave him Florida's electoral votes), but as in many cases, they are less vocal than the pro-Bush, gung-ho element of the po...

hey, mercuryanna, do you really find that honours level courses aren't at all difficult? i'm a first year now, and really frustrated that all of my classes are really easy. i've been considering switching to some other university either back in the states or over here, but people keep telling me sec...

because we've all got better things to do?

well, they ought to be introducing cedric diggory too, but if they aren't going to do quidditch, i suppose they can't. it'll be a bit weird when he randomly appears in goblet of fire. . . speaking of which, why can't they just make 2 parts, like they'll probably have to do for GOF, and release them ...

isn't he now doing geography, not history of art? they can't get his subject right, they can't get our name right. . . stupid twat journalists.

that's criminal! are they just going to cut out quidditch? the quidditch matches were the best parts of the first two movies. damn those scriptwriters, damn them all.

no she's here, in john burnet, partying it up not doing much else

Bitchboy had a good point, that it's mostly organized religion that people object to. That's certainly my take on things, since it's my belief that as soon as you put in a bureaucracy, everything goes to shit. So, to put myself on a sort of limb here, I'm going to say that while I have nothing but r...

I heard they were doing a Willow spin-off. Not sure how good that would be, though. I recently went through the entire season 1 again and am partway through season 2, and it's soooo much better than the later stuff. It just got too complicated, too many convoluted plot stuff that's impossible to rem...

i'm thinking people with nice personalities rarely call others 'egotistical mindless twerps.' just to share a female perspective for you, buddy

i always did it where you measure around your rib cage, then around the fullest part of your breasts, and see what the difference is. 1 inch is A cup, 2 B, 3 C, etc etc. don't know what all the adding of 5 inches and all is, that sounds confusing.

it's kind of cute

and yet Bush will still manage to go ahead, thinking he's right. . .

god, no, that'd be totally unfair. but you don't have to be logical to be bitter as for whoever thinks the offers they make to american students are comparable to those made to UK students, have you talked to many american first years? as a whole, i'm singularly unimpressed with about 75% of them.

well, sure it's cheaper than the US, but when you add air fare, it's often not. Plus I think it's the comparison-- we pay £8000, everyone else pays £1100, so we're bitter.

yeah, but you have to take 6 exams, we only have to take 1. plus a couple extra if you do APs, but still. much easier.

definitely do Mediaeval History though, it's excellent.

we'd alleviate the overabundance of the less intelligent variety of Americans if the university would stop accepting JSA/JYA students from lowbrow universities. It doesn't make sense to me why they don't just accept students from similarly rigorous places in the States-- Ivy Leagues, Stanford, some ...

Deej, I think people feel more of a license to say whatever they think on here because it's not face to face. When you're actually interacting with people here, no one's going to be really rude about their dislike of Americans, although you'll definitely get some teasing. So don't worry-- on a one t...
