  1. According to UCAS, A 44 (1 mark off perfect) is around 700 points which is well over the recommended ammount for cambridge, 3 A's perhaps is 500 (along with the GCSE's you get) . I'm not sure you are quite telling the truth, Maybe your sisters boyfriend was not suited for the courses he had applied to. However your brother, specialised in 3 subjects and excelled which made him appealing. With the 44. He should of been accepted since he did so well in the IB, I think you are pulling a little lie there... With the IB most top unis want 777 in the best 3 subjects and good grades in other subjects too, but "only" want AAA at A-level - also 3As is 360 UCAS points (and GCSEs don't give any), but UCAS points don't even matter for most unis, they just look at the grades - or people would do silly amount of A-levels rather than the standard 3. For Oxbridge it's more about the interview etc than A-level/IB results...
  2. No, nerds will just use it as extra time to play runescape all day.
  3. I literally laughed my [wagon] off when I read this! Freedom? To what? Forever confine others to a fate of suffering and misery in order for one's personal gain? To earn more money at the expense of other's health and welfare? That's just plain selfish. This person has absolutely no idea what they're talking about... Since when does capitalism work "fine" for the USA? It's the capitalist policies that landed us in this current depression! Because of capitalism, America is trillions of dollars in debt. He is also under the illusion that one has such socioeconomic freedoms in the first place. It is the restrictions placed by the capitalists that discourages the progress of society, though new inventions and such. If capitalism was allowed free reign, then Walmart would be the only store still standing, since it basically kills any new business development in every area that it parks it's [wagon] on. Furthermore, if Big business was given control of the economy, then both human heath and the health of the environment would surely be in jepoardy. People freak out when they hear the word "Communism" because of the backwash due to the Red Scare. Its sad to see that even today, over fifty years since, people are still so ignorant. No , people "freak out" when they hear the word "communism" due to the massive amounts of genocide and oppression it has caused in Russia, Eastern Europe, China etc. Also what "current depression" are you talking about?
  4. Mass genocide and oppression which still affects Russia and Eastern Europe today is the reason why the Soviet Union even lasted as long as it did.
  5. The new title is a fair point tbh, if sex was banned then in 50-60 years time there would be no more war or crime at all, and climate change + pollution would stop as well.
  6. I think the most ironic thing about capitalism is that it preaches about how it's so financially prosperous, even when we're in the midst of a recession. How's that for irony? Capitalism isn't supposed to guarantee constant economic growth, that's unsustainable for a number of reasons. Recessions are a natural part of the trade cycle. The long term trend though is for economic growth to occur. I think I remember saying the same thing myself about half a dozen times on other threads, but thanks for showing the consideration to lecture me anyway, just in case I'd forgotten how capitalism works. :roll: I was merely displaying there are faults with all systems, thus l0l's "Socialism/Communism sux because Capitalism's an absolute God-send of a system!" stance just comes across as a tiny bit baseless and unexplained. Just like your "turn everyone into numbers on a state computer" stance
  7. I think the most ironic thing about socialism/communism is they preach equality yet want to ban individuals from making decisions for themselves, and have some bureaucrats make decisions for them... some more equal than others right?
  8. Just admit already that you support Hamas in their goal to wipe Israel off the map.
  9. I assume all the Hamas-supporters on here agree with his goal of completing the "Final Solution"? I don't remember anyone saying that they supported Hamas. A lot of people seem eager to justify their actions.
  10. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle ... 808257.stm I assume all the Hamas-supporters on here agree with his goal of completing the "Final Solution"?
  11. I'm shocked at all the anti-semitism on this thread.
  12. discuss. RS sucks tbh - anyone who disagrees with me is an obvious communist.
