[philphie]

mate im not bigboyjames. Im just a new member who was fond of his style

you're still gonna cop it from the mods for your avatar. they have been giving me shit for just being annoyed that some of the people they banned weren't even antisemitic trolls

 

[philphie]

And then run through the uni's grounds, lol?

You should be escorted off the premises, not your uni!

meh i have my fun. last time i went amock was for The Middle East concert. on my way there it was raining heavily so we took shelter in the Anderson Stuart building and just ran around waiting for the rain to die down.

haha i've seen your security guards and they don't really give a shit.

 

[philphie]

are you telling me that you cannot be anti israel on BOS anymore? my avatar is the same one BBJ has always had. Its an Israeli flag and not a jewish star

yeah the mods won't see the difference. trust me you're not safe. they don't care if you're only problem is with zionism they will just take you down because of the daily telegraph article

 

[philphie]

Then what should I do?

at least change your avatar and you might last a little longer, and don't join any groups and when you do criticise israel don't bring in any religious shit. just be sensible and not too much of a troll

Making fun all of this is NOT funny. The conflict is serious, and it is debasing to all those Palestinians who suffer everyday. Today is exactly one year since Israel besieged Gaza. I am in solidarity with all the Palestinians who were slaughtered, and who continue to suffer in an open air prison. What did these innocent people do to deserve it? Israel must be indicted.

 

[philphie]

ohk, well I just changed it. I didnt know what else to do. like is that ok now?

yeah they don't give a shit about pro israel people or any other racists unless another press release comes out. maybe get rid of the bbj, i don't know, you should be fine as you are

no one is making fun of anything. plus you just forgot about those 3 palestinians that were just killed today, the most this year.

They were shot yesterday. And it wasn't the most this year.

This thread isn't about non-humans that get killed by the glorious state of Israel

but actually about Private schools

 

[philphie]

correct so lets just drop it

 

[John McCain]

you public school kids will argue to the death that:
1. you have equal opportunities
2. that private schools are shit/spoiled/etc
3. you will come out the same after 6 years

however the truth is that
1. there are more opportunities in terms of everything at private schools
2. grounds, facilities are better, teachers may be more caring
3. you have a greater chance of making friends with rich children
4. after graduating you have the opportunity to employ a different mindset to hsc focused public school children depending on which school you went to and what your parents wanted you to get out of that specific type of education

public school students perform better at university.

I have met a lot of private school peeps who don't have the intellect to back up their sense of entitlement. On the flip side I haven't met any who have tried to roll me.

 

[philphie]

prep kids wouldn't need to roll anyone in the physical contact sense. they would just some how rip you off on your home loan or some shit.

Ahhh I have, little pricks think they're hardcore.

But seriously fuck private schools, the only thing that determines how well you do at school in Australia is the student, you can do anything you want if you put your mind to it. And besides the only reason half the private schools get decent rankings is because of scholarships, they just try and buy their glory.

I think it's time we phased out free public education completely and let people choose what educational institution (if any) they wanted to attend.

you left out the word "afford" in that post

unless private education is just like public education

 

[jellybelly59]

I don't think a scholarship is 'buying glory', its a concerted attempt to get people who genuinely can't afford to go to a private school to have opportunities they normally would not have. Half the scholars I know aren't on scholarships for academic reasons.

No offence sikhman but i don't think any private schools hands out scholarships so that they don't benefit in some manner. As much as private schools are schools - they're also a business. Scholarships are a PR jackpot that is an attempt to abolish the elitist stigma and on top of that bring on talented students irrespective of whether it's extracirricular or academic. I'm not saying private schools are in it just for self-interest but there is no denying that there are mutual benefits in the scholarship deal - considering that in getting most scholarships you have to maintain a certain high standard or they revoke it.

All I'm saying is the old class boundaries are getting a bit blurred and that doesn't do too well for me and the blokes of the old school tie, ok.

Private schools are better than public schools because you don't have to hang out with poor people (we avoided the scholarship kids)
