die hard doonhamer Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I noticed the puggy in the HW union seems to have disappeared. Saves me needlessly losing money I suppose 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 BOO! Give people life-choices, don't make them for them.They'll just buy said ciggies and cigars elsewhere, and you'll be the ones hit in the pocket. Nanny State loses to Free Market. Take ones free market and insert it into ones rectum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

University unions often make decisions for ethical rather than financial reasons though. For that same reason, I can't buy a KitKat in the QMU when I want one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute fascism. They should sell only Nestle and advertise Cuban Cigar specials. The Nestle Boycott is a complete joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally find the Nestle boycott and now tobacco restrictions somewhat cringeworthy I hate being a student at Glasgow when things like this happen. Why do some feel the need to be so annoying, the 'occupation' of the Computing building last year being the most serious offender 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because I'm a bit older and thus don't have a lot of friends at University, but the vast majority of other students are twats. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Anyone interested in another update on my Smoking Kills thing, public details released at last night's SRC:- all cigarette vending machines removed by January (coincidentally all non-skill gambling machines too) Please tell me that doesn't include the quiz machine?!? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I have plenty student friends. In fact, the vast majority of my friends are students. Students are wankers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't do a sixth year, so I was younger than your typical student for a year or two - and I agreed. I don't find students any more annoying than any other section of society, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) Many students feel the need to jump on bandwagons, or else to feel 'ethical'. Some of them can't hoist in that your opinion doesn't have to be uniform with that of everyone else. I've seen a couple of pretty pathectic examples so far, including a girl who got herself thrown off the campus for badgering people with pro-Palestine propaganda. Students are wankers. Edit: I find the people with clipboards that bother you on Princes St more irritating, though. If I want to sign up for your cause, I'm quite sure I'd approach you. Leave me alone please. I must look like some kind of weirdo when I walk towards these people. Everytime I do, I always bring out my phone and pretend I've got a text - saves me having to tell them I'm not interested.

Raith Against The Machine Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I think Stirling has gone from being one of the more "radical" Universities (so I hear), to one of the most apathetic when it comes to protests and stuff. There is still a hardcore of folk who jump on stuff like Nestle, and the Queen, but it's not like there are sit-ins and mass placard waving. In fact, the only proper protest I've seen recently was a load of staff members protesting against redundancies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Blah Blah Blah Yawn. You really are a boring c**t. The kind of pro-active wannabe who thinks they can change the world and do good, you possibly have a pretty high opinion of youself, you are the kind of 'studenty w****r' even other students despise. I think the reason all this crap was passed is the average student doesn't give two hoots about student politics and if the silent majority had a say in anything your type would never get elected or any of your pathetic self-serving programmes passed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 It does seem that the "Ban stuff!" folk go to meetings, whereas the folk who'd rather just get on with their lives aren't going to waste at least two and a half hours (!!!!!) sitting in a room listening to folk drone on about how the precious Freshers shouldn't be tempted by the nasty Union. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to ban boy and girl freshers from mixing in the union next incase they get tempted into having sex! Oh and what is wrong with Eden Spring, is it a nestle product? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
