Social media losing control

A reassuring talk from Alexis Ohanian, explaining why its ok to lose control in the level playing field of 'social' media. He's from reddit BTW.

Unemployed students and the student loan fiasco

Why is it when something is left to the state to do something they completely mess it up. I was chatting to my friend the other day who is currently unemployed.  He told me he had  handed over his deferrment form to the Work and Pensions Department to stamp.  Amazingly they had lost it, and now the Loan Company are ringing him every day for payment.  Its curious isnt it how the Student Loans Company are really a quango and that it is the government that are losing all of the student loan deferrment forms.  What a surprise, maybe its so that they can scrape some of the money back from all of the poor over-educated graduands.

There seems to be clear inefficiency in UK government policy. On the one hand they want a better educated society, expecting them to borrow huge amounts and on the other unwilling to reward these people for their efforts.  I've come to the conclusion that unless you get into the top twenty universities in England you are best minising your risks and either work hard and try and work your way to a leadership position or have lots of children and hope that one of them turns out to be a star.

If you wish to be educated prospective students need to think of benefit they will derive from borrowing thousands and thousands of pounds.  They also need to consider that if they do not get a job how they are going to pay this money back.  If you become bankrupt you will never be able to become a company director.  If you have a CCJ you cannot work in financial services.  The politicians do not care about you.  They care about themselves, it is called the selfish gene. We still live in a Socialist Democratic Monarchy, it is not efficient and does not work as it is full of contradictions.

The state is not efficient and if you end up in the control of the state expect them to mess up your life, because they inevitably will do. 

Why you need to have an attitude

Have you ever been described as having an attitude? If so then you know who you are. You are conscious and awake and understand the truth, hold values which are dear to you and are not wanting to compromise those values with others that seek to manipulate and control you.  Thats right people or groups who claim you have an attitude merely are suggesting your values dont match theirs - It doesn't mean you are a bad person or does it? Well I suppose it depends why they claimed you had an attitude in the first place. Successful people have positive attitudes and so-called bad people have negative ones.

In the information age and the emergence of The New World Order you need to understand attitude and why you may be told occasionally you have an attitude. Consider the gay community - If you look on the shelves of newsagents you will find a magazine called Attitude or even bent - these are gay publications with words that the main stream population would consider as being negative. So why do they use these words to promote their publications? It is called being positive about who you are as a person. Having a positive mental attitude. You will hear this phrase many times by athletes in the world of sport. These could be some of the leaders of tomorrow. So if you are told you have an attitude think why that is and turn it into something positive
