Anything on the BBC news site is to be taken as joke, its usually a lie or just propaganda. -------------------------------------------

Let's face it in a couple of generations the UK is definitely going to be populated by the crew of the Hitchhikers guide 'B Ship'. I love this quote from that first links feedback comments: Quote: I was amazed by the speed with which my students (operating systems course) went from looking slightly confused to completely switched off once I mentioned something wouldn't be in an exam. I was going into detail of things like ZFS on the assumption that people who had opted to do a computer science degree were actually interested in the subject - apparently not. My favourite quote from the entire year though was a complaint from one of my students: I'm paying -ú3,000 a year for this degree. I don't expect to be told to read stuff in a book! [Serious post - just so people understand] What are you an idiot? you leave to Germany. YOU DO NOT HELP THE ENGLISH DO NOT WASTE YOUR BREATH OR TIME AND ENERGY. Jesus Christ you actually think that small island of idiots is actually going to get better. England is all about drink, idiocy and taxes, Don`t do ones of those then leave. English culture is killing England \o/ [/Serious post] -------------------------------------------

I like how you say this without a touch of irony while linking to an article on it in the OP. Note that none of these sources CITE any figures. or how they gained the statistics. Lying with Numbers: The Role of Statistics in Our Everyday Lives Its a good read may I suggest you start here. if you like the tease i highly recommend doing a piratebay search for the torrent for the pdf of the full book. -------------------------------------------

You laugh at people who are rubbish at maths... So you think you're good at maths, eh? What is the definition of an infinitely differentiable Riemann manifold? What is the Hausdorff dimension of the Seirpinski Gasket? Prove that the set {1/n such that n is a natural number} union {0} is compact. Dammit man I am not a mathematician (That`s your job!!) (I do Engineering, My maths revolve around sin and cos, physics for fun also enjoy classical mechanics. also Electronic Engineering but that`s just a maths ***** ) But if you have some books i should be reading I demand linkage! also anything to teach me show me I have been Brushing up my maths and advanced maths looks fun -------------------------------------------

Shanzem Minmatar DarkStar 1 GoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.01.05 22:17:00 - [10] Originally by: Nebulous Originally by: kor anon Its not just due to poor education, but also down to the culture that the kids grow up in. Too much TV, too many disractions (on purpose to keep your mind off important issues). Celeb culture teaches kids its ok to be thick as pig ** because anyone can 'make it'. It is society that has let the population down not TV etc, all systems that revolve around money (pretty much every country in the world) are corrupt and teach us from an early age that we should compete excesively to make more money than each other, %90 of people who are in jail are in there because of crimes related to money. Untill people realise that it is money that creates disgraceful human behaviour then we will always have conflict and society problems. If your good at maths or not should not be important, i'd rather be a decent person and know nothing about maths, than some stuck up ****** banker who knows a lot about maths and thinks he's better than everyone else.(who apparantly are not that good at maths based on the state of our economies). Agreed that's why i wanted to start fab labs up. People are stuck in there homes like prisons. for a small fee and getting some old electronics together and some raw resources (wood metal etc) they could spend there free time working with a small group building something, it gets them socializing, studying (Adults need help to) its increases the core education behind the masses at the bottom. They could also use it to repair old appliances (instead of paying for new ones). The UK needs something like this to help patch up the damaged social structure. Increases adult, teenager and child education (for a VERY small fee compared to school, college, University) Helping adults of of poverty and into better jobs. Also makes more locvations other then PUBS and CLUBS to go to. This also moves onto invention and ultimately accomplishment and happiness. -------------------------------------------
