Have been lookin for a grounding stone, and have settled on a Black Tourmaline, and before the moaners and whiners turn up, there is also a White Tourmaline!
One of the many things I read about the stone/crystal was its protective abilities. Its particularly good at protecting against...and I quote: 'moaners, whiners or emotional Vampires who burden you with their problems, but do nothing to improve their status!'
Now I wonder where that might be useful?
Again, I would like to thank Jon. ^^^^^^

As the planet is teetering on the edge of destruction, I always look at the news rather tentatively in the morning. Russia and the Ukraine, China and Taiwan. So after all the doom and gloom, I need to cheer myself up, and there’s only one place for that...The Trial Thread!
The Swedish Chef excelled today didn’t he?
Stupid people think that racism is all one way traffic, which of course it isn’t! Standing in Hyde Park Corner and shouting ‘all White people are Honkies’ isn’t going to get you noticed! Stand there and say ‘that Black man over there has got curly hair’ then you will be like the ‘Second Coming’ and people (stupid people) will flock to you! Both of those statements are a form of racism, and yet one of them is not looked upon as such.
Amazingly, Statler pulled up TSC for saying what he did, but you can all relax because by the end of Statler’s post the Hanging Rope was being flourished again!

I see that a young lady on an Animal Management Course has refused to take one of the integral modules of the course as it involves visiting an abattoir. Not so long ago if you failed to take an integral part of a course then you failed the course! No longer it seems. No she is allowed to miss this part of the course as she is a vegan. She signed up for an Animal Management Course, and then refuses to undertake the study required. Kick her off the course and stop bending over backwards for idiots!  |

I was going to put a nice comment on the above post, but I’m blocked so there is no point. 👲

Maybe she feels she doesnt need to visit the site in person to know what is going on there. |

Maybe she feels she doesnt need to visit the site in person to know what is going on there. You seem to have missed the point completely there flyinggull. She has refused to take a part of a course she signed up for. It is not for the student to decide which parts of a course they are willing to take. It is also not for her to decide that she knows something so does not need to be taught it. She is not willing to complete the course, so kick her off the course. Completely simple really! |

Im not missing the point and its a case of the headline not providing enough detail. Is the only reason that they are a vegan? Or is it because they used to be a manager of such an establishment? Or has experience of what goes on there? Whats their background? Just as a headline says trading with the EU is up in feb by over 40% suggests brexit was great and doesnt give details of Jan trade number which where down by over 40% As they say the devil is in the detail |

Or that some qulifications can be passed becuase of exams taken during another subject such as financial services and accounting. As they say the devil is in the detail and there are plenty of examples where fulfilling the course requirement isnt needed due to other reasons, which dont make a good headline |

Ah well you are at an advantage to me there flyinggull as you are referring to an headline and I have seen no such headline. I heard the report on the radio and my post reflected that report. I have read your woke (sorry always promised myself I would not use that word) reply and still think you have missed the point completely. I have multiple academic qualifications and for each one I researched what was expected of me before signing up. If I had not completed the set course then I would have failed. That would have been completely fair and I would have had no grounds to whinge to anybody and would have had only myself to blame. This young lady has signed up for a course and has now refused to take an integral part of that course. Her reason for doing that is completely irrelevant. She has not completed that part of the course so she has failed. However her woke(sorry slipped and did it again!) academic establishment has allowed her to continue on the course and are ignoring her attitude that she can pick and choose what parts of the course she undertakes. It sets a very dangerous precedent. I suppose the poor dear would have cried if she had been told that she had failed! Ever wondered why all of the younger generation suffer from allergies and our generation doesn't? It is because we climbed trees then fell out of them and ate mud, fell off swings and grazed our hands and knees, made our own camp fires and cooked food on it on the end of sticks pulled from the hedgerow, herded cows at 7 years of age and got splashed by the explosion on the ground as they raised their tails, fed pigs and got knocked over into the hay and dung as they went for the trough etc etc etc. Wrap them up in cotton wool and it will do them no good whatsoever. What this is now telling her is that she can pick and choose what she needs to do. Having got away with it at college (and coming out with a false qualificatuion as she has not really passed the course), when she gets to the work place if a move to a different job or a promotion requires an interview she will think that she will be able to refuse and should not be disadvantaged by it. So yes, you did miss the point flyinggull, but I am sure that does not make you a bad person! |

Goodness, an interesting post above...exactly what this thread was set up for in the first place!
It’s a shame Setefano has blocked me, otherwise he would have been able to see my praise for his post. 😉

So yes, you did miss the point flyinggull, but I am sure that does not make you a bad person! Nope didnt miss your point and maybe your chosing to see the fact of detail that is required. The visit might be integral but is it mandatory? How is the course made up? Do you need to pass only 3 out 7 modules all of which can be called integral. Younger generations might be more food intolerant due to inprovements in diagnosis and understanding brought about by the amount if spare time they have due to not having a cold war to train for, practice what to do in a nuclear attack, mass unemployment and miners strkes to name some truely wonderful things from the past which im sure we all want brought back. |

Well you are still missing the point flyinggull but with a stubborn refusal to look the blindingly obvious in the face!  All of the points you made are red herrings and you know very well they are. Had any of the perfectly correct points you made about academic courses related to the circumstances of this particular case then it would not have been a national news story. I myself have been able to not complete various modules on academic courses because I already had qualifications for that module or had proven experience / expertise in that area. However that was not me deciding I was not going to complete the module it was me being exempt which was set out in the structure of the course from the outset. Me missing a few modules did not make the national news of course, because it was allowed. This young lady decided that she would not complete this particular module because it involved visiting an abattoir and she is a vegan. As much as I dislike the use of the word it was a woke decision made by a woke academic establishment. She should have failed the course. Now although I am a meat eater I have absolutely nothing against vegans. If she wishes to abuse her body in that way then that is a matter for her. Although the reason was that she is a vegan the reason is actually irrelevant. She refused to take an integral part of the course and so should have been put down as a fail. You did triumphantly announce at the end of your first post on this subject that "the devil is in the detail". It is, so it is a pity that you did not look at the detail before posting as if you had done so I am sure you would not have missed the point. Anyway I have made my point (which unfortunately you missed I think mischievously and deliberately); and you have made your point. This is a football forum so I expect we are boring everybody else rigid by now, so that will be my last comments on this vexatious subject. Onwards and upwards........ ⚽️ |

This is a football forum so I expect we are boring everybody else rigid by now, so that will be my last comments on this vexatious subject. Onwards and upwards........ ⚽️ The devil is indeed in the detail and if you looked into the case (a quick google search will find it) you see the lady offered to do an alternative unit and that when lawyers got involved strangely the course provider did a u turn which indicates that (and reading the article) the privider was in breach of some UK human rights law (now we are not in the EU it cant be blamed on them). I havent missed any of your points simply pointed out that the line 'vegan refuses to do course and passes' is more interesting then the fact 'university in breach of human rights law'. Also that just because seems one thing then looked into it is in fact something else. Remeber boris waving kippers around and blaming the EU for the packaging rules when in fact it was UK law that was the reason. Although, this is a football forum, this is the plopside where any topic can be talked about and you must have known that when you posted your original message on the subject. Which indicates my points have been received |
