    You just hit the biggest problem to progress the world is facing right on the head... and it's not global warming...

    ...it's the fact that people are AFRAID to speak out...

    They guy who sweeps the floor is afraid he'll lose his job if he asks that the waste bin is pushed closer to the coffee machine...

    The Miner who doesn't speak out about safety issues because he might not be employed there next week - he won't be employed there because next week he'll probably be dead.

    The guy who thought the rubber gasket on a Shuttle wasn't going to work at low temperatures didn't speak out because it'll look bad for him, the company, the project and the bottom line...

    You're afraid that if you chose a controversial subject, your exam mark might be adversely affected... So if it is - challenge it! It'll show everyone that you've got Balls and will ultimately speak volumes on a CV to a future employer - far more than any grade. So instead you chose to play it safe - and oh-so boring!

    Have confidence in what you do - and if you have confidence in your argument, then you can challenge your examiners. After all, you might just change the life of the guy reading your paper...

    Pretty uncanny timing - we both posted a message @ exactly 22:21 (see msg prior to this one)

    It's too difficult to turn into an argument anyway, especially considering it has to be kept under 1,000 words. Thanks for the vote of confidence though

    I reckon Mr. Simpson's IQ would be around 130, no sympathy from me.

    I love it when smart people argue! Argue with a moron , it's too hard to see who's who. In here it's very refreshing, as there seems to be a shortage of morons! Bless you all! And to fuel the discussion a bit . . . most big organizations idea of a "Team Player" can be found on any porno site . . . just do the deed and never question . . .
    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves

    There simply is no "Happy Spam" If you do it you will disappear from this forum.
