    it does lead me to also think what example are we giving to the younger generation by glorifying in this celbrity culture? and why does society behave the way they do when young people in society behave the way they do? disrespect for life permeates throughout society and becomes acted upon

    I could tell you, but then I'd have to shoot you...

    Surely they can't fail you for not agreeing with them? As long as your arguements are supported and well thought out, then it is just a case of differing opinions.

    Too many people are in universities because they can't take a real job and just want their egos stroking...

    As a former Admiral said to me about the Navy being in a bad way

    'Son, every generation of sailors has said that the Navy is going to the dogs and we haven't done badly. I think the time to worry would be when the Navy isnt going to the dogs'

    Perhaps the same could be said for society?

    Once our navy ruled the world, and every country in the world trembled before it.

    Is that the case now?

    How would you define "Going to the dogs"?

    dear god............what is the country coming to when this is a quote from our Prime Minister - has he lost the plot? Hasn't he got some rather more pressing matters to be sorting out - the recession for one ?

    It's to improve his reputation as a man who can see into the future. He doesn't know what's going to happen to the economy, but Jade Goody's future is a dead cert.
