sarah and Spike\'s opinions...
 

Seeing as Conzors can have this post we only felt it was right that we have our own post too.

Leaving School - We know that some of you will also be leaving school this summer and we think it's sad, but also we are now free from boring lessons, pointless homework and annoying people. We will miss the school but now we have a new beginning and we can now become independant. So don't be sad, be happy!

Michael Jackson - He is a strange man but we think he is extremely talented and we should always remember that. He is NOT a child molester, it's not been proven.... yet.

John Cena - The Champ is NOT here. We think he's repetitive and boring. Only the fangirls enjoy watching his boring matches but I have to say his promo's are okay. Other than that he only has kiddie fans and maybe the odd weirdo such as our beloved Amy21.

US Presidential Election - We are supporting Clinton because we think if Obama gets into power then he will become a dictator and take the US to war with everybody. Remember what he said about 9/11? So support Hilary Clinton.

More opinions are coming soon! :)

Thanks for reading love from Sarah and Luke! x

If you are leaving school to go to college thinking it will be different, you are gravely mistaken.

it just the same at college bud

Oh come on leaving school is exciting, remember when you left how filled with thoughts for the future you were? Let them enjoy this time of great change. Yes things are a lot different to how you think they are going to be but they are not all that bad.

I have very fond memories of college, and Higher Education, enjoy yourselves.

I dont agree with you on a few of the things you say though :wink:

Michael Jackson - He is a strange man but we think he is extremely talented and we should always remember that. He is NOT a child molester, it's not been proven.... yet.

Nor has it been disproven either, it was technicalities and a lot of money that have always prevented Mr Jackson from reaching prosecution.

It was good leaving and looking back I do miss school but I expected college to be completely different and I didn't think it was. I hated college and left quite recently, very happy :cheer:

Yay I knew you had been happy, what are your plans now you are finished with college?

A gap year; term very loosely used. Getting a job or whatever and if I like it I'll stick at it, if not I'll try something else and maybe go to Uni next year but the chances of that are slim because I don't want to.

You might feel differently in a year, once you have had a break from college and learning. Good luck with what ever you decide to do.

Whilst I also support Clinton and dislike Obama, I find that accusation a little...unfounded :shocked:

I personally dislike him because he's all style and no substance, and everyone seems to be swept along in an apparent tidal wave of hyperbole and hope. But does he have the ability to fulfill his promises? I think not.

Would you allow your (proverbial) 8 year old son to go to his house alone, unattended?

Most people would say no, showing that falsification is a principle way above "innocent until proven guilty". Until the testimonies of those numerous kids have been disproved, I wouldn't say outright that he's not a child molester.

I agree about John, He's boring and samey, all he has going for him at the moment is his looks.
Gah only if they turned him heel, him becoming the Dr of thuganomics again would be bad ass, he was awesome heel.
Face Cena= Zzzzzzzzz
Heel Cena= :D

And lucky you, our school arent letting us leave untill our exams are over, i hate my school. Can't wait to leave.

Tom and Brother , what are you talking about? Im going to college next year and I cant ****ing wait. Its going to be ALOT better than Secondary School.

I get to wear my own clothes , join societys , do subjects I actualy PICKED and WANTED to do , get treated more like an adult , live the college life , all of that sort of stuff.

College is ALOT different to school.

My college wasn't. Same uniform (it's a Sixth Form), harder work, the teachers are like the Gestapo trying to make sure you attend lessons, aren't allowed outside of the school grounds, not that we listen to them regarding that since we have cars.

We also had a pretty **** common room.

College is a lot different to school. 6th form isn't, I loathe it, it's exactly like year 11 all over again with a tiny bit more freedom. But college is a lot different, more laidback, your own clothes [no shirt, tie and pants], just a lot different. But it's only 'good' if you're willing to put the work in yourself, because nobody is on your back unlike 6th form, and I'm not motivated enough to do it myself, hence going back to 6th form.

... and thats what I thought too. Its very similar. The only difference is that you don't wear a uniform and you pick your subjects. But you still have teachers moaning about how many minutes late you are, moaning about your work and homework and you actually have to revise if you want half decent grades.

Seriously, don't tell people who've been to and [nearly] finished college that its different to school. Most people realise its not once the novelty wears off about 4 or 5 weeks into the first year.

Its not that different once you've settled in and the novelty has worn off. Eventually it just seems like school but non-uniform day every day. And a lot of people have said that from both the college I went to and other ones my friends went to.

Well we both went to very different colleges, though I didn't last long in mine. Put it this way, you don't have people calling up your mum in college to say I haven't turned up for a lesson, you do in 6th form. And you also don't have "parent days" in college when people are nearly 18 either, some nearly 19. College is a lot less patronising.

We did ...

The teachers always used to call up parents to complain about lack of work, there were parents evenings for the teachers to bitch to parents like in school, and there were attendance and behaviour reports with different stages, like in school. And if we didn't turn up to our lessons and our parents hadn't phoned in before 9am to say why we were going to be absent then we got phonecalls home for that lesson, so it could mean 2 or 3 phonecalls per day. We even had written reports sent home in the post. It wasn't just mine like that either.

Well colleges in Manc must be 10x better than ones across the country because it's the first college I've heard to treat "adults" like that.

Well the colleges you've heard of must be strange, its not just the ones around here, because I know plenty of people across the country who have had a similar experience in college.

I spent a crash test month and a half in UCC. Safe to say , it was a ****ing blast. Im going their next year to do **** like Sociology and smoke pot.

Roll on I say.

College > School

Some people call University a college. Are you sure you aren't getting them mixed up and you are right in saying its a sixth form college which is what I went to which is essentially just a sixth form but detached and in its own building?

I have no idea what your talking about because in Ireland , thing work a little differently. But I think its fair to say that if I spent a month and a half at a College , I would cop on to the fact that it was a college , unless I had my eyes closed for the duration of the stay :laugh:...

In Ireland , it works like this...

Primary School for six years [roughly between the ages of 6-12].

Secondary School for six years [12-18 , although its legal to leave school after the third year if you are over 16].

Then , if you choose , you can go to university/college , whatever [Its called UCC , university college Cork , theirs a few other colleges as well like CIT , College Of Commerce , and Trinity College in Dublin].

Thats why we have differences in opinion. Over here its:

Primary School (3-11)
Secondary School (11-16)
Sixth form (either at school or college; 16-18/19. This can also not be sixth form A Levels but other course types, e.g. vocational [childcare, builder etc])
University (some Uni's referred to as 'college', some Universities have 'college' in their name)

We can leave after secondary school, and obviously the college I refer to is sixth form, but you refer to something higher than that :cheer: Glad we've got that misunderstanding out the way on both our parts :dance:

Right now im 17 , and have one full year left of secondary school before going to University. So yes , theirs the culture barrier smashed. Im in what is your 'sixth form' :laugh:.

In that case , apply everything I previously said about College being a blast to what you dub 'University'.

Man , this is tough :joker:.

I didn't think there would be any problems with a language barrier with someone in Ireland :laugh2:

But yeah, you're posts become a lot clearer to me, and I suspect mine become a lot clearer to you also so I think its safe to say we're now in agreement :thumbs::cheer2:

Our education system is completely warped and archaic. We have to , by law , study Irish for eight or so years. Bear in mind Irish is a now defunct language with no use outside education whatsoever.

And you have to PASS Irish to get into Uni. Even if you want to do English in Uni , and get an A in your English when leaving secondary , it wont matter. You wont get in if you dont pass Irish [which is COMPLETELY useless if you want to do ENGLISH in uni] , Maths , and either French , German , and Spanish , the other core subjects.

We just have English, Maths and Science by law then any other subjects such as ICT added on by the school, then 3 optional lessons (in most schools) although in sixth form you can choose up to 4 subjects you want to do, there are no requirements for subjects, although you need so many points to get onto certain courses based on GCSE results.

It seems quite odd about your Irish though :puzzled:

Here are more of our opinions..

Death Penalty
We think it should be brought back. Dirty criminals why should they live so two wrongs don't make a right who cares it would be nice to watch them die painfully especially paedophiles we would like them to have a public torturing first then die slowly and painfully for the fun of it.

Heather Mills
Who cares if she is a gold digger, Paul has got enough money why should he have it all. We think good on her to get some money out of him if that was her plan from the beginning or not. We would do the same if we had the chance to, I hope she spends the money all on herself.

The McCann parents
Lock them up and throw away the key!

They are disgusting parents leaving their kids in an apartment on their own in a foreign country, involved in Madelines death or not its their fault for leaving her. The other kids should be taken off them while they are in prison for neglect. We don't know why people feel sorry for them, people should feel sorry for the children they are the ones who have suffered.

I think the 'opinions on stuff threads' are getting a bit old. Maybe one thread for opinions?

I dont see anything wrong with it. And its easier with seperate threads.

Because he earned it... :puzzled:

so....

I think she entitled to it after being married to him and he isn't even talented.

So? He worked for that money! Not talented? Im sorry but thats insane. Even if you dont like The Beatles , he is extremely talented.

She most likely only married him for money, silly gold digger.

Anyway, if he earned his money, then why shouldn't he have it all? :laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

How can you say he isn't talented?
The beatles are one of the best bands that this country has produced!

I don't understand why so many people think he is talented, he was part of a big group but I have never seen what was so special about them. Time to forget them I think

Why? They made great music, it'll be a long long long time before The Beatles are forgotten.

WHAT did you just say?

Even though this is your thread, ****.

He was one of the bloody Beatles! How can you say he's not talented!?

Gotta give it to you Shaun, you worded it better than me! :tongue:
