100 Economists tell George he's wrong.

"Avoid a double-dip recession". Eh? It is arguable that we are already in it, or haven't yet got out the first, no? -
There's a piece of 'work' by Martin Creed entitled "Lights Going On and Off".

Why does Sheffield not appear on maps?
metaphoria replied to OnlySheff's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
I'm afraid you're in a valley of a hilly area, somewhere. Accept it. -
There's some miserable fecks on here.

I did art GCSE at school, and some of what I did was good, but most of I did was rubbish. It was 'art', but it wasn't good. I think we are missing the point here. I think anything creative can be defined as 'art'. However, sometimes people can create ugly things with little effort. Or people can just produce something as disgusting as possible in order to cause controversy, and then class it as 'art' because it provokes conversation and thought. So does Jeremy Kyle. But it still takes a gifted genius with a rare talent to produce something which is undoubtedly beautiful.

Yes. Either neither are real, or both are.

Greek style Austerity - would you like it imposing on you?
metaphoria replied to love_rat's topic in General Discussions
Chill. Economies rise and fall, and rise again. And if they don't we'll all be in it together and perhaps bond with our neighbours (we might even talk to people we can actually see) And like all good people do in times of hardship, we'll make do and mend. Keep calm and carry on ;-) -
Mentaly ill man that caused a situation that the police had to respond to. You can complain about the police, but they didn't create this situation. Ruined lives. I suppose you have to consider his family and show some respect to that, but to blame the police is just absurd, IMO.

Asked by teacher to remove or tape kids earrings
metaphoria replied to Zebra's topic in Sheffield Parenting Group
Frecking nora. 2 mins to take out a pair of earrings, hours and hours to discuss the semantics of it. Do the math! -
Where to sell engagement ring
metaphoria replied to magpieway's topic in Sheffield News & Discussions
Sounds too amicable to bin it. Charity shop, I'd say. -
I've read that a couple of times, and it still makes no sense to me, or has any relevance to the question that I can see. At least it's somewhat predictable from upinwath, in an ewww kind of way.

Still, like moderators who implicate rules, they also have to abide by them :-0 -

Ah right, I see where you're coming from, now. -

No not really, earings could be fairly easily caught, or accidently pulled out during A P.E. class, and apart from the possibility, you could guarantee the in-depth explanation and subsequent report/investigation that a parent would expect if it did happen. Not suprising the teachers are so stringent on these matters. The likelyhood of a few mars bars falling on a vending machine operator is more unlikely to cause injury, or investigaton. -
Kids' saying -mums and dads obviously have no feelings?
metaphoria replied to aelfheah's topic in General Discussions
I'd say see it as a privilige, that someone who loves you is giving you some honesty, the kind that which polite adults can't. -

What is the problem? We are talking earrings here, not something massively important to the ultimate survival and education of a child. Just take them out. Teachers have health and safety reasons which they have to adhere to. Accept it. And get a grip. Jeez, these teachers must have a difficult job now. I bet they have to spend more time explaining things to parents than children. -

Don't be silly Zebra, and stop being a rebel. The teacher says no, support the teacher, and you teach your child respect for authority. Stand against it and you end up with a rebellious child. Don't come back complaining when your child is a teenager and ignores you when you say, "no". -
Atheism is passé, IMO.

No, I don't think he wasn't interested in politics.

Assuming Britain actually is a secular country- can it remain so?
metaphoria replied to danot's topic in General Discussions
Some religious bodies cannot tolerate secularism and their laws. Hobson's choice. -
Really what?
