You do know that government are scrapping caps on tuition fees? The fees for a place like Oxford will go up by thousands, so even if you get a loan for it, chances are you'll be in debt for the rest of your life (university graduates aren't getting as many jobs now, and the ones they do are...

Funny notice I saw on a ferry from Dover to Calais.

I was think that of you don't have a standing army, navy or air force, you could spend the money saved on education.

Money. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge cost thousands of pounds a year (and they'll cost waaaay more in a few years, with the cap on fees being lifted), and if you come from a poor family, you won't have the money to study there.

Isn't Kim his last name?

Everyone would get equal opportunity in education. Inevitably, some will be more intelligent than others, and get better jobs. But the point is that if you are intelligent or talented you will have the chance to enhance that, no matter what your background is (for example, say that there is a...

I think if you disobey in the North Korean military you're killed. Besides, they have no reason to disobey, they've all been brainwashed all their life. Same with the secret police, they honestly believe they are doing good. Only because of what they have been taught all their life. In way I...

Look, this is just an idea I came up with today, I'm not going to start a revolution or anything. This is mainly why there are a few faults with it, I haven't really thought it through that much, I just wanted to hear people's opinions of the basic idea.

The districts would already be drawn up (states in America, counties in Britain, etc). If no-one gets 50% of the vote, the top two voted parties/people would go into another round of elections. Kind of like how they worked out the Labour Leadership a few weeks ago. The money saved on...

I was thinking it's like Communism because everyone is equal and they'd be no class structure. I see there isn't much anarchy in it. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll change it.

I am going to learn a lot more about governments. I'm only in school now, but I'm going to do Politics and Philosophy at university. I just think of governments for fun.

The 'lose millions' statement was about deaths on both sides. And people are forced into joining the military in North Korea. It's not their choice to help him stay in power.

How about 90%?

He's actually said all of those things? :confused:

Do you actually mean that? Why should someone's life be worth less, just because they were unlucky enough to be born in a country ruled by a tyrant?
