And it'll be your turn to moan about the undergraduates then.

I'm surprised he isn't claiming that posting on MSE isn't his part time job - he'll be moaning that Martin isn't paying him next.

Watch it, you might make him think he can sue Martin for having this site, and that he cannt get off it to actually do some work.

Yeah, I would not mind working in a university but not as a lecturer.

MSE keeping me going and stops me going mad.

I normally read a PDF of an Article as I am surfing here anyway.

I know I am downright depressing sometimes, but I really never intend to feel like the world is crashing to end but I just do.

I normally do feel better after a few hours, it is just me I suppose.

In many senses I am a very soft person and the harsh realities of life are not always sometime I cope with very well. That is just the way I am and my life was wonderful when I went to school and I really liked it and was happy and so I suppose it is only natural that uni is not as good for me.

Phil, you have been whinging about the woes of your course for months now, in the Arms and DT.

Face it: Philosophy is not the subject for you. You get in a muddle very easily with simple sentences, while philosopy requires a considerable clarity, flexibility and fluency of thinking and articulation. Sorry to be blunt but you don'd display these qualities, which explains why you are having such a difficult time, and why no lecturer/tutor/educational system in creation can help you. You want others to make it so that you can learn this subject, but that is just not possible.

Someone should have told you these things at an early stage. Maybe they did. If they didn't THAT is where they have failed you, and nowhere else.

You should definitely seek a course more suited to your undoubted talents, but strict logical thinking is not one of them.

I'm very sorry but that is life. You can choose to face it head on or you can cave in. You drive people to distraction because you moan and winge and you do not take on board a single piece of advice when it is asked for and given.

Tell me - what one thing are you going to take away from this dicussion tonight that will make you change even a tiny thing about yourself tomorrow? Anything at all? If there isn't you really haven't been listening to what has been said and that is going to be your downfall in life.
