Nobody is denying that students live for less, nobody is denying that students do less work in the form of a job. There is however no need to patronise, or attempt to undermine somebody who is further educating themselves before starting their long term career.

I know it's a past time for you to pick out a word or two in a post that you disagree with, and ignore the entire argument. You brought in taxation, and claimed that because you were not earning over the tax bracket when you were a student, you were not on an equal footing with the rest of the tax paying population. I said I'm glad the rest of society doesn't appear to think like that, as I don't believe in division of saying somebody is 'more equal' because they pay more taxation.

Garinda, if all you were attempting to do is point out that financially students contribute less to government coffers from taxation, then I know you have the capacity to do that without coming across in the way you do. If indeed you did mean that students opinion matters less because they are discounted then I profoundly disagree.
