lol **** the inbetweeners what a show

Shame about the movie/s

Only seen the first one but assuming the second one is as shit as the first

I liked it, funny.

Just like one long episode.

 

[BALKAN]

I liked the first movie.

Second one was forgettable.

 

[Rough_Edges]

Not sure how you can think they show is great but the movie sucked :S

The first movie was exactly what the show was, just on a holiday. Have not seen the second one though.

Disagree strongly.

Agree setting and characters were the same but the humour/jokes while similar was not as good.

 

[The Passenger]

I travelled in my twenties, I'd do the same if I had my time again.

Good call. My 20's have been one big party living in various locations around Australia, Ireland the UK.

I have nothing to show it for it financially but I wouldn't want it any other way.

Anyone seen the U.S. Version of the inbetweeners?
Horrific.

I can't believe anybody could think that would be a good idea. It's horrendous.

I guess they figured it worked for the office.

They were still good.

I haven't seen the US version of The Office but I'm guessing they changed it up a bit? The US version of The Inbetweeners is exactly the same in every way. At least the 2 minutes of the one episode I watched was.

 

[Dylan8]

I watched the first episode of Inbetweeners and it was pretty lame

Why am I being advertised semi naked girls "Finest Female Athletes Who Will Drop Your Jaw" at the bottom of my bigfooty page? Clearly the no posting of semi naked girls rules don't apply when there's cash involved.

I can no longer use this site at work due to this type of sexualised content, you disappoint me bigfooty.

You answered your own question.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Why are kids in year 4 and 5 being taught about asylum seekers and having excursions to the Immigration Museum?

I'm left leaning. I like the basic idea of social security and looking after people who need it. I like people coming into Australia who add something to it. I don't care where they're from... I've always liked living in multicultural places (like Fitzroy has dicks and w***ers! Very diverse) but this just seems absolutely ludicrous curriculum.

These kids cannot understand the complexities of the politics involved in fleeing a country, and the politics involved in coming into a new country. How can they? Furthermore, why would they want to? Why can't they go to the zoo or a box factory or something normal? It just seems like political interference by a bunch of arseholes at Education Departments wanting to spread their own ideals. Which isn't surprising, teachers are nothing more than losers who got picked on in school and need an audience of kids to get superiority/ears/eyes/attention/someone to listen to them...

Why don't kids sit down at that age and hear about Aboriginal history? Very relevant, very interesting, and very cool to young kids: cool paintings with interesting stories, you can relate it to plants and animals of Australia which is also cool as a kid, you can talk about dream time stories, inventions unique to the Aboriginals... And you don't have to make it political at all!

Apparently this has been a normal thing in Victorian curriculum for like 10 years?

Why?

How do you know this is the case? Maybe it was just an excursion to a museum and some uppity parent has climbed upon some high horse of morality (assuming you heard it from a parent?).

 

[Catfish Alley]

I remember going to the immigration museum with school around that age and that would have been 25 years ago. Probably because most people came from immigrant families so it was relevant. It was just a small part of the year. I also remember doing aboriginal studies, Japanese studies, ancient history etc.

 

[PP34]

Seems pretty absurd, particularly with the way teachers can lose their jobs for trying to sway their students politically.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Depends how they're discussing it I guess. Talking about immigrants to the country isn't necessarily supporting a particular party.

Girlfriend is doing some short-term work at a school and was telling me it's part of the state-wide curriculum.

That and making a poster in groups of why asylum seekers matter.

There's a huge difference in immigration studies and asylum seekers, though. One is pretty much undeniable and a fact, already happened and continue to happen. The other is basically all political from every single angle – and doing nothing but advocating is totally wrong. School shouldn't be political like that. There's nothing wrong with having an Italian day or a Greek week or something and learning about those cultures and countries, totally relevant to Australia and Melbourne, but that's not it. Ten pound poms and those from the Baltics after the War aren't really asylum seekers are they? They were basically asked by the government to come.

I loathed Australian history at school.

My sister chose that over the Russian and French revolutions

It's Outbrain. Obviously classless spam ads have become required due to not enough people buying platinum memberships.

Why's that? I think I enjoyed most history subjects. Even now I enjoy reading historical books or biographies.

Probably wouldn't interest me too much either.

I would have liked to learn about the wars.

Just did nothing for me and it was practically forced down our throats every time we did history etc.

I think the advertising is based on your browsing history.

Always frustrated me how there's little of World War Two taught in senior years of school. Cannot understand it one bit, only the most important event in modern times.

She would've learned a fair bit about Russia's World War One involvement studying the Russian Rev, and similar if she did the Chinese one like I did too.
