    i needed a good laugh. the kettle calling the chimney black :) these mud throwing events work both ways, so if he can dish it out, he shut up and take it like a man now that it is coming back around his way.

    I find it strange that GF did not keep a copy for himself.
    I certainly have kept copies of major work that I have done. Not that I ever look at it again, but I have a copy of my own, original work.

    “I certainly have kept copies of major work that I have done”.

    Yes, he did keep copies of HIS majors works too. :) :)

    • Cogito

      The above should read as:

      Yes, he did keep copies of ALL of HIS major works too, that is why he cannot find this one. :) :)

    Leadership like his ends up producing results like this:

    Survey Finds Young Hungarians Encouragingly Honest About the Pointlessness of Being Honest
    In probably the most telling snapshot of youth attitudes in Hungary since last December’s encouraging survey on teen addiction and juicy, hot unprotected sex, a new poll by NGOs Transparency International and Kutatópont reveals that a vast majority of local youngsters think the only way you can get ahead in life is by lying, cheating and stealing. While only 20% said they didn’t like corruption, most said that getting into a good university or a good job was more important than being honest. Well, at least they’re being honest!

    HOW SAD!!!

    to be fairly honest I don’t have a copy of anything unless I E-mailed it to someone , and I to tend to throw away most hard copy clutter , unless I am exceptionally proud of what I did , then on the other hand the uni’s I have been to make all works public an accessible for all , and I dont think they would dream of refusing showing someones work.

    I almost forgot. Re: Gyurhany – somebody give him a one way ticket to the Ivory Coast, maybe he could re-do his paper on cocoa.

  • true democracy
