LHC Discovers the Universe was once Liquid

Right, exactly - because if he knew even the basics of Britain's governance he'd know that the monarchy and aristocracy have no input on legislature, regardless of how they were involved in the story.

Then why were the Londoners, who live there, mad at them?

Were they mistaking them for members of Parliament or something?

 

[AV1611VET]

And somehow you're able to pull an anti-education claim out of thin air from the look on someone's face.

I'm not anti-education.

I'm simply factoring in the Law of Supply-and-Demand into the equation of harping on lacks of education.

If you think that's anti-education, that's your problem.

MASSIVE HINT FOR YOU: LOOK AT MY LOCATION

Now try and get the hamster turning the wheel and ponder why this particular Londoner ISN'T mad at them.

Were they mistaking them for members of Parliament or something?

Some elements of the recent protests have generally been anti-establishment, not just against this particular piece of legislation. That's why some of them attacked the royal car. Charles and Camilla have had nothing to do with the actual legislature.

 

[AV1611VET]

We get it, you just read things for the pictures.

Apparently the crowd, who lives there, know something you don't?

The rioteers came from all over the country. Londoners don't particularly want to set their own city on fire...

You've already demonstrated that your only knowledge of this subject is the look on Camila's face (that's the duchess, btw). Just accept that those of us closer to home (y'know, those who live in the country), actually know what they're talking about.

You're just digging the whole deeper AV, and whistlin' a tune while you go...

Got it -- (I think).

So, to use your [cheap] example, they attacked the Simpkins because they're mad at Congress.

Have I got that right?

And what in the world does living in the city where legislation is made have to do with knowing how the country's legislature works? Do people living in DC automatically know more about the US legislation process than those living outside it? No, of course not.

Actually, I agree with you -- this is why you won't see me in the Politics section here.

But I do think it's a good point about supply-and-demand.

 

[Cabal]

So, to use your [cheap] example

Oh, wah wah. At least I actually know enough about how your government works to not make an equivalently daft statement as you did.

they attacked the Simpkins because they're made at Congress.

Have I got that right?

Not just Congress, but that's what's provoked their ire. The Royal Family are largely uninvolved in this, but they're a tax-subsided institution that most people see as serving no real purpose beyond attracting tourists. Banking system still isn't popular either, for obvious reasons.

That's alright, but even so, that wouldn't prohibit me from knowing either about the protest situation nor how British legislature works.

Your "supply-and-demand" point is so fundamental, that I will not give you credit for making a good point. It's not even a problem of supply and demand. If you raise the cost of tuition by an outrageous amount, of course fewer people will be able to pay for it. It's such a fundamental economic principle that I would categorize it as common knowledge.

So when does Homer unveil the giant donut on top of the Iwo Jima memorial?

Can you tell me the source of your quotation, as it doesn't sound like Darwin at all? Thank you.

And why would they raise it in the first place?

Hint: Hi demand, low supply = high costs.*

* High prices actually, but let's not get technical.

It's legit. Google it. I assume that it's out of context, because from what I remember, Darwin was a fairly religious man.

Why would they raise it in the first place? Because running an educational institution requires money, and the budget required them to levy additional tuition from students to cover the increasing costs in other sectors of government. Supply and demand curves are not necessary to explain the increasing cost of education.

Unless you have some kind of data that says otherwise. But I don't think pictures of facial expressions would help in this situation.

It's in context. Darwin is advising scientists to remain objective, and leave aside their hopes, anticipations, religious beliefs, and other personal biases - as a scientist, you must have a mere heart of stone.

As for his religion, Darwin became decidedly non-religious after the death of his young daughter.

Thanks for the clarification!
