Here Today... Gone To Hell!

what u think of em, i mean when i've met some they look down their noses at u, and when there out and drinking they become the biggest pricks ever. but on the flip-side i have met a couple of really nice down to earth people who are students.
you think this is just a case of a small number giving the rest a bad name?

no, being a poncy philosophy student i can tell you that you're not imagining things, students really do look down their noses at you.

now bow to my superior reasoning skills that were paid for by your tax!!

*looks down his nose at Mr Rage*



PS. Inferiority complex, much?

University students are idiots and pricks. All of us.

*looks down his nose at Mr Rage*

There should be a closed, isolated area for us University people in  HTGTH. So we wouldn't have to mingle with these lesser peasants so much.

The only thing that seperates us graduates from the rest is superior intellect. Thats it.

 ;)

those damn yooouneeversity critters with thar fancy boook learnin'.

Didn't you just have a bachelor's degree? If so, I'd hardly call that being graduated :D

Don't you.  :yes:

What an odd thing to say....

Heh, just fucking with ya... I actually just got my bachelor's degree a few days ago, now going for the master's. Still got some work to do...

I don't know how the system's over there, but in Finland a bachelor's degree from a university means (in most cases) that the person was just too lazy to write his/her master's thesis, and got stuck with the BSc.

Surely there's more work involved than simply writing a thesis paper  :-\

Yeah, but the point is that you won't graduate before you've written that thesis, so all that other work won't "show" anywhere. And that final thesis is often what people have trouble with, as they might already have jobs from their own field at that point, etc. they can't find the time to finish it. That's where the saying "gradua vaille valmis" comes from, which basically means "a thesis short of graduating", or something to that effect.

i'm a psych student!

yes tehre should... though i wouldnt want to hang out with some of us pompus assholes

An academy of economics student myself, I find it useful to keep in touch with the less gifted people, in order to fully realise my clear superiority  ;D

what seems clear after reading this thread, is that Mr. Rage is pretty much dead on with his description of university students.
you all think your posts are funny, don't you? yes, I know you do.

good to see nothing has changed since I left uni ;D

Of course we are all pricks. Looking down your nose at someone whos taxes are paying for my beer money is an opportunity that should not be missed  :hihi:

they also make bland music (in the 21st century)

Well what do you expect? Read his post again, it's pretty provocative...

Nah, in all fairness a lot of students are dicks, but then so are many people.  Where i'm at there's a whole lot of people who seem to think that living up to stereotypes is all that is required of a person in their situation - these are the same people who probably see it just as an extension of high school.  Uni should be a time to better yourself but a lot of people choose to waste it, but fuck 'em!

The answer to Rage's question is obvious:  There are lots of annoying people out there and if they give students a bad name it's cause these people tend to be the loudest.  There's lots of down to earth people at uni, you've just gotta filter through the masses to find them.

all jokes aside, i'm proud to be working class, i'm not the brightest i'll admit that, but someone who is a uni doesn't always grant you a good life, the girl at my chippy has a degree and yet she's been at that chippy for 3 years!

over here a masters is a seperate qualification:

BA/BSC
MA
PhD

I looked at doing a Masters but in the UK a degree in anything but medicine/engineering is statistically worthless - my History degree (statistically speaking) will get me 54k more than a non grad over the course of a life time...

...but it cost ?15k to get it...so 39k over the course of a lifetime? Thats like ?1000 a year more than a non grad -  I spend ?1500 a year just getting to work :crying:

canada has teh same break down as the UK, though im not sure how long a BA/BSC takes there.... its min 4yrs here, anyhting under that is mostly a diploma program, though in some areas there are degrees that are similar to the US 3yr associate degree

so what you are saying is that it is easier to get a bachelors in finland than america?

No. Up until now at least in the University that I'm in it was not even possible to get a bachelor's degree. You had to go straight for the master's degree. It's changing now so that it's mandatory to do, and possible to stop after the Bachelor's, but it is not a recommended option.

bachelors are for lazy fucks :rofl:
jk ;D

I'm an art student... I don't look down my nose at anyone... especially a Gn'Fn'Rs fan!!

... so nerr! :hihi:

Agreed, in the UK it's generally a degree for people who are interested in a subject but as far as careers it won't get you any further than a Bachelors and you
won't get you into a university/research career without a PhD. It's different in the US, a Masters degree is definitely a career booster - though in my observation/experience a UK Bachelors is about equal to a US Masters for content/difficulty (outside of Ivy League, MIT, Caltech kind of institutions.)

And lazy, and self-centered, and inconsiderate, and on and on...
But we love'm anyway!

speak for yourself, because of all them reasons thats why there resented!

So who's gonna be the one that starts a thread that chastises the uneducated dummies?  :D

A university student  would  write: "Speak for yourself. For  all those reasons  they are resented!"  :rofl:

I would gladly do it, but people would call me a snob. Oh, wait, I am snob.
Ok then.  :rofl:

define beneath u, who would that be?
Chavs?
The working class?
People in low paid employment?

People who are beneath me are people who lack the intelligence to be themselves and therefore follow a crowd, doing whatever that crowd does, and forgetting who they are deep down inside.

So yes, chavs are beneath me. They are cowards, who follow each other, do not have their OWN voice, and beat up on people more intelligent than they.

Emos are also beneath me, but not so far beneath me as chavs, as they don't beat up on individuals.

I couldn't care less if someone was in low-paid employment or if they're working class, if they're a decent person with their own mind, and not some drone, then I'm cool with them. If on the other hand they're a cunt who works for The Man and screws over decent people regularly, then I'm NOT cool with them and they'll have to do a hell of a lot to redeem themselves in my eyes.

All I care about really is whether someone is a good person or not, and also whether or not they have a mind and voice of their own.

Yeah! :hihi:


They can all get into uni if they want to - they may have to work harder but the oppertunities are there.  I make no apologies for my class and I make no apologies for getting an education.  I struggle to understand why anyone would choose not to go to uni considering the alternative of going straight into full-time work for the rest of your life.  Uni gives you options and the chance to better yourself so you're prepared for what's in store.

You'll find pricks in every walk of life - students, doctors, teachers, NUNS (I went to catholic school for 12 years).
If someone is looking down their nose at you, it's because they feel badly about themselves.  It's not about you (or anyone else), it's about them.

a lot of people give uni a miss coz of the debt u can get yourself into.

Prehaps she has a degree in chips?

what does the phrase "at my chippy" mean? or "at her chippy" What is a chippy?

Krispy, a chippy is a fish and chip shop. (Or just a chip shop if they're a bit crappy)

Surely they don't exist? A chip shop, that sells purely chips? Get tae fuck! That would be ridiculous.

a side of food poising if u like?

Ok, thanks. You learn something every day. I did not know that.
