It seems that the moment you show passion for learning on this forum you are mocked and told to enter 'the real world', and clearly the opposite of our world is in fact clinging on to dreams of being on reality tv shows or winning the lottery.

The individuals aren't to blame, it is the attitudes of society that create these people, and the only reason people like andrew and I do go to university and care about the subjects we study is because we're basically sticking to fingers up to society.

Wrong...again.

People face criticism on this forum for saying foolish things, regardless of who they are.

I suspect lots of people on here are actually graduates, not undergraduates, who have yet to gain their degree.

Still more people were probably never in an ivory tower, from which they could pontificate their meaningless diatribes.
