....you know there are people from England here, who are our friends.
Let's be considerate in the way we speak of their Homeland.
We are allies.

OOOOOPS - sorry - my Mom used to call them Sassenachs but she didn't really hate English folk

Hey, you're a grandma. You'd die for the economy, right?

I'm sure my kids and grandkids wouldn't mind. Of all the imbecilic comments to have come out of politicians, those have got to be right at the top of the list of ones that take the cake.

No one HATES the English folk, just some friendly banter. Now, the Hungarian vs Romanian feud, now THAT IS HATE. Seriously, search it up.

Sorry if got too political.

Thank you. Yours and EJ's follow ups did cross that line.

Definately a contender.

I don't know what your talking about, Marsha.

It's been suggested and then agreed to by a number of politicians that (paraphrasing) it's perfectly okay for the older citizens to die from COVID-19 because it would help the economy.

More proof that we are in a materialistic world.

Hey, i hope you are allright. In germany we stay mostly at home and hope for the best these days. News we get from italy, spain, great britain and the states scare us pretty big.

So, here is a funny story for everyone. At my university, and I believe this is the case with the rest of the UK, third and fourth year students, those in honours courses, which is just before you graduate, are being told that we still need to do our assessment. This is completelely ridiculous, becasue how can you do your exams when people are not meant to be gathered? Answer; you don't. So, online assessments. But online assessments are ridiculous, that isnt an assessment, you could sit with the information in front of you, for a university level course this is laughable. Oh, and another thing, essay assessments are still on. But how can we do this when the library is closed? Answer, online research. But this is ridiculous, because no online resources match a book, plus they do not go into half as much depth as a book. This is so laughably ridiculous its unbelievable. The only reason they are doing this is because the fourth years, those graduating, do the same exams as the third years, so they want to get them done so they can get the graduation crowd away. Again, ridiculous.
What is my answer for this? Void all essay assessments, unless that is the assessment and push the exams back until this is all over.
I tell you if we lived in Dio's Kingdom this wouldn't be happenning?
DiO'Bolic Got any thoughts on this?

Germany actually has a good number of cases, but not many are fatal because the general health of the German population, along with the average age, is pretty good. If a country can sort this mess out, it is definately Deutschland.

Take advantage of it. Everyone will pass. The university is not willing to fail students because of the coronavirus pandemic. It would be a public relations nightmare for them. Bottom line... Easy 'A.'
