B3TA fixes the worldMoon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

My Postwas a bit of a piss-take.
That's the way life used to be pre-1990. You had the brains - you went to uni for free. If you're parents earned under a fairly generous amount, you were also given a "stipend" or grant to help out with living expenses.
I got paid to get my degree - as did most of my peers. But it was fucking hard to get a place.
Cheers

Same.I was in literally the last year of (small) grants and no fees.
I get more upset by the year at how much worse and more commercialised education is forced to get.
Education and knowledge are supposed to be free and universal. How are we ever going to reach the stars if we're all down here quibbling about pennies?
Point taken that your post was a piss take, but it had some strong sub text (/bait ;-) )
