You have Marc Alexander for seminar...lucky lucky lucky person! He's such an amazing person...shame he's married :cry2:


Yeah he's quite a hunk. This is only the first time I've had him though, I think cos he was in Finland for a week or two? But yeah he rocks. He's ace at tutorials as well, helpful and encouraging etc :smile: It helps that I really like this LPA shizzle too. Can you imagine K-Lowe in a seminar... I would probably hyperventilate every week from excitement!

I would actually faint if I had K-Lowe for a tutor (fingers crossed for next year!)
My essay has about as much structure as scrambled eggs :cry2:

"Sign a petition to end stoning of women in Iran. 10 seconds of your life and you can make a real difference!"

Are these people seriously so naive to believe that anyone with any ounce of power or influence in Iran(of all places) will do more than scoff at a petition, signed by some do-gooding students from Glasgow, while they dispose of it?

Christ.


LOL

I refused to sign it because they were pronouncing it "Aye-ran", like the Americans. FFS.

The annoying thing is that I think Paradise Lost actually looks really interesting but I just didn't get around to reading it.

I didn't feel too bad though because I'm exhausted and actually going to bed once I've finished this sarnie :colonhash:

That was me ...

Although I wasn't pronouncing it Eye-ran. That was annoying me too. The loudest of us was an American, I think, which is how that got started.

And while I get your point G8D, not signing a petition and doing nothing is ridiculous if you actually care about the issue. Ok, it might not make a difference, but if you have that attitude you might as well never do anything. We're not expecting that just by making a petition we're going to convince the Iranian Penal Board to remove stoning as a form of punishment, but as long as I still can, I'm going to spend my time fighting to try and make sure it happens, because it's the right thing to do.

My brain was dead, so I went to sleep and finished it when I woke up, about 7 in the morning. The last few hundred words are mush, but hey-ho.

They actually really annoyed me by being on both sides of the hill and making a real effort to make you feel guilty about not signing it. I get fighting for your cause and stuff but just yelling loudly at people and guilt tripping them is not the way forward.

Also the Aye-ran thing. Gah.

The problem is that petitions which will most probably have no effect whatsoever feel more like things people do in order to convince themselves that they're fighting for a cause than things people do to fight for a cause. If this was an action raising funds for Iranian women who are asylum seekers or for an organization which works with victims of abuse in Iran things would be different, but just writing names on a piece of paper, how is that doing anything except make us feel better about not taking real action against injustice?
