What doesn't disgust those power obsessed fools? From long beard to short trousers (pants to Americans) those pseudo-religious types are always far and away the dumbest students to turn up in my classes.

Well, scot, contrary to your experience, I did find the un-bearded students, to be most respected, and more intelligent than the bearded ones. Laughing

Dear Wilsonthefarmer,

Respected by whom? The other students? The general population? The teachers?

John

KSA is like living in the 12th century with cars and the internet. But then, they are 50-70% inbred here in the Magical Kingdom!
