Pro-life / Pro-choice

Drowz0r · 12/12/2011 13:37

Admittedly usually something argued accross the atlantic than in the UK anymore... I am curious to know how it ranges in the forum.

Anyone here pro-life or pro-choice? Any specific reason?

Ohhh I see, so you're like a temp who can get people onto courses? Sometimes doing history. Sounds exciting having a forever changing job, though working with children only must make for boring conversation. I see why you jump on the forums so often. Lots of thrilling and positive conversation here instead!

I'll take a look into the history of dying off movements and stuff tonight I think. I can think of a few that used to be pretty big deals and then died off but some purists just won't let go.

Not quite ... you're struggling with reading comprehension again I think? Do you know how to get the thread to display all on one page - it may make it easier. Or touch your finger to the screen as you read - one of the children I've worked with found that helped.

I've already explained, I don't sell courses. I teach history occasionally but not below GCSE, as I find it a bit boring. It's quite easy to do it yourself from the net if you take lots of notes and learn some basic study skills, though. And there are loads of historians on here too, who are fascinating to listen to.

Not hugely. Mostly political history rather than events. I often wish I went into history a bit more though. Do you sell those courses?

Ah ... you're not a historian either, I see! Grin

Yeah she was. Funny how you lose touch with the old way of doing things. Oh well, I suppose every movement gets replaced sooner or later...

Oh, don't worry - it's only ten past five here! If it's bedtime where you are, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite! (As we say to our little ones)

Oh I thought you'd gone when you said you were leaving the first time! Haha forum addict huh?I guess we've all been there. Might need to try and let go when it comes to going to sleep though! Don't want you rolling around, wanting to tika tika tika away on the internets.

It's nice you don't feel that I'm pathetic, I'm building a nice image of you too.

Carry on like that LRD and you'll be too nice for the Harridan's Club and people will begin to doubt your hairiness.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 12/12/2011 17:02

I am certainly trying to help. Don't feel you're pathetic (that sort of typo is sadly telling).

We have a lot of warmth to give. Just sit back, listen, be prepared to learn a lot ... we may even be able to help you over this problem with communicating too. Lots of us have school-age children and are pretty au fait with the sorts of simple tricks that can help someone like you.

Anyway, I must stop posting now, but it has been a lovely afternoon, and I hope you've begun to get your mind around some of the simpler issues and clearer some of the fog! It gets easier the more you do. Smile

Ofc ofc. I'm in no way trolling? I'm not sure where that impression has come from. And I think LRD is really trying to help, why that's why when I started in here I was met with such warmth instead of the typical angry feminists you see all too often - I'm convinced those are just a few extremists now.

I think it helps that when you?ve strugged, like LRD has as a child with dyslexia, it makes you a very pathetic person.

Oh, if we're back to the OP's original point, I'm pro-life.

CarrieInAnotherTWOBabiTWINS · 12/12/2011 16:57

prochoice.

i think bringing unwanted children intot hte world is a far worser thing than people terminating early.

the unwanted children would suffer the most

toddlerama · 12/12/2011 16:55

This is gold. Thank you LRD. Just thank you.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 12/12/2011 16:54

I doubt he's a troll, cui - trolls tend to lie to make themselves out to be brighter/better qualified than they are, and I think he's genuinely as confused as he sounds.

It's not easy when you first come on a site like this and realize you're not making much sense, and I have a lot of sympathy for people who're struggling.

cuibono · 12/12/2011 16:51

that was to the troll LRD but keep up your good work too

Hahaha indeed, indeed.

It's been an absolutely pleasure and I think there is little more than can be said.

I hope you enjoy my next thread just as much. Best of luck getting back into sales, I hear the commissions are good at Christmas.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 12/12/2011 16:49

cui - sorry, I digress badly all the time! Blush

It is an awful habit.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 12/12/2011 16:48

Thanks slug ... I've never got my mind around FE, but that makes sense now!

cuibono · 12/12/2011 16:47

I didn't think anything could make me laugh today but I have just snorted out a huge bubble of snot. THANK YOU.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 12/12/2011 16:47

Oh, you never know. It helped me out a lot - it's one of the nicest things about posting on here, that we can all share research and so on. Smile

But I can see it probably feels like a challenge too far at the moment!

See how you go ... if you don't have an Honours degree, btw, you might still be able to work your way up. It would just take more time, and you would probably find you'd need a proper masters instead of a vocational one.

Anyway, I think we're digressing back onto the other thread about education now! Grin

I'd best stop posting too much as I'm sure I'm distracting you from all that thinking and articulating you were going to do. Best of luck with it.

Hey slug. I graduated in 2008, but thanks for the tip :)

I've come across the different study levels. It's in common useage in FE, but not in the Higher Education Sector (both of which I've worked in).

You will need to work on your argument construction and sentence construction if you want to do well in your Masters though.
