I love Alan sitting there going, "Stephen - Stephen..." just trying to calm him down.

@verticalsmurf You've identified the biggest problem with the education system. Instead of being taught how to pass exams, with the implication that education is merely a stepping stone for financial reward, more emphasis should be placed upon the love of learning and the intrinsic value of knowledge.

@damechastain They are a lot like a married couple a lot of the time. We've known them together long enough to be able to see it, too :)

@demonliberal Nope!

Is it possible to say "Stephen Fry - what a boring insufferable twat" without being set upon by the Arbeit Macht Fry brigade?

I'm still in school, taking geometry and latin (as well as others), but it really doesn't bother me when people ask what's the point..

[verticalsmurf]

I'm doing well and I haven't used a single thing I learned from school. Except that they got me interested in thinking and I learned to read and write, basic math, patience, perseverence, compassion and just to be interested in something and to be curious. That last one has served me better than any other. I guess that is the reason for school. To get your brain wired to be able to think, to understand discipline and to get you to be curious about something.

Stephen really got worked up on that one.

I love Latin and Greek and often have long arguments with other learned friends over etymology, physics, and philosophy. But I'm still a raging alcoholic, a love of knowledge doesn't always keep you from being a complete fuck up.

@CoffeeOnMars I have a degree and know Latin, but have no job, lol.

You do realise, inverted snobbery is a form of snobbery?
