Who says men can't multi-task?

I can **** my girlfriend and think about her sister at the same time.

I'm a poor student ST holder too but I'm going to take up my regular seat in The Holte. :winkold:

Personally I'm going to reject that hypothesis and go all bigotted myself and say that it's the nasty underbelly of society influenced by the media rising to the top like scum on a pond.

Even if that was the case, it could be argued that the media influences us to such a heavy extent that it, in some cases, exaggerates our feelings of disillusionment to such a point that the actions of the people who believe it could be, from a psychological standpoint, seen as unconscious behaviour, which brings me back to my first point.

Either way, I win. :winkold:

No point voting for anyone else, undoubtedly many people in my situation would vote for the BNP as a 'protest vote', a strange phenomenon because you could 'protest vote' for the Green party, but it seems no-one ever does.

I think I can explain that using a term called psychological transference. People become disillusioned to such a point that they lose rational thought, hence their actions would become virtually unconscious, and they would then radicalise their vote as they would then feel that this radicalisation would make more of a difference.

EDIT: Yes I am aware that transference is generally accepted as an inter-personal thing, but I'm trying to use it in political terms.

17% of 16 year olds have had more than one sexual partner...

... Now I'm not judging, but they're most probably slags.

17,000 atheists in the middle east rioted this week, after a blank sheet of paper was found on a cartoonist's desk.

The latest statistics show that people on Tyneside are naming their babies Keegan.

Experts assure them they'll be walking within 8 months.

9. Would have been 10 with a striker (or 2).

Against the more defensive teams, NRC.

Against the more attacking teams, Petrov.

Sunshine - Gabrielle.

Golden Touch - Razorlight.

It's a bit of a long story really, but I've always been a fan of Michael Jackson, but more recently I've been listening more to The Jackson 5/The Jacksons stuff.

Got To Be There - The Jackson 5

That's a bit ghey ;-)

I think you're confusing 'gheyness' with brilliance. :winkold:

Got To Be There - The Jackson 5

I recently saw a condom machine in a toilet, which had a "Tested to British Safety Standards" sign on it.

Underneath someone had scrawled: "So was the Titanic."

I was sitting on the settee watching a soppy film with my girlfriend. She was lying with her head in my lap.

Overcome with emotion after the film, she said, "give me a kiss dear."

I said, "if I could reach down that far to kiss you, why would I need you in the first place?"

Great article, agree with everything and everyone.

Thank you Martin, Randy, General and everyone else involved.

Oh right. Our school didn't have a sixth form, so I'm moving on to Cadbury College.

Indeed. :winkold:

Just out of interest, which college is your son going to?

Rob - At the college I'm going to (it's a sixth form as well, so it'll probably be the same) Psychology, over the 2 years, has 6 modules, plus 5 exams. These are:

Social Psychology,

Research Methods (including researching the work of psychologists like Freud),

Cognitive Psychology,

Developmental Psychology,

Physiological Psychology,

Individual Differences.

In my defence though snowy, the subjects I have picked, even though they are geared towards my future, are subjects that I enjoy.

Anyway, if you're thinking about a career in journalism, it's a no-brainer surely?

On paper you'd think so, but it hasn't really worked out like that.

I wanted PE for the possibility of football coaching, I wanted Media in lieu of Journalism because it wasn't an option, and I chose Psychology because I am interested.

I know that my English is good, and a lot of people say that because of that I should choose it, but in truth, I think I may be bored with it. At the end of the day, my English is one of the best parts of my educational ability, so surely, if I do decide to take a break from it, it won't be as hard for me to pick up again, but something like Law would be incredibly difficult to pick up in a uni situation.

Thanks for all the advice.

The point that Chindie makes about Media Studies I find interesting, as specifically, I actually wanted journalism, but that wasn't available at this college, so I went for Media because I'd studied it at school and done well and because it was the next best thing.
