Jen, you are probably one of those extremist animal rights protesters.

Here is a section from BBC news i think you might like:

"Local MP Dr Evan Harris told the crowd that he acted as a human guinea pig in tests for HIV and Aids treatments.

He received cheers from the crowd as he said: "My message to the extremists is that you will never win.

"Every single action of harassment, of intimidation or violence undermines any legitimacy your case ever had."

I agree completely with this bloke.

i didn't say they weren't intellectual subjects, I just can't understand how you can research the area.

take a walkman, and a book. that way you wouldn't have to talk all the way there.

you could even give your supervisor the opportunity to join the mile high club with you. that would pass some time

how do you actually research this area??? sounds like some PhD into something useless, almost as useless in undergraduate degrees into 'surf science' (plymouth uni, i think) and the 'golf course management' degree offered by some other uni.

i actually agree with johannstein this time. I think it is unbelievable that people will protest against a uni. Oxford uni is full of intelligent people, and so this research is important, otherwise the funding wouldn't be available.

The world of science cannot come to a stand-still just because a few people like animals!!!

stu is a nice person. he hates arguing.

he is a lover, not a fighter

if my PhD is in english, then I would be worried about the spelling, but its not, I couldn't give a s***. Anything I write normally is spell checked, so thats that problem solved. If me missing out an 'a' bothers you that much...sory abowt vat

how can teaching be voluntry AND well-paid. speak clear english please

sorry, i read that wrong, ignore me. it was thumpers mum!! well, she raised a noisy stupid rabbit, so that shows what SHE knew

well, i have been told

bambi's mum got shot, so that shows how much she knew

is 404 just a geek? we really didn't need that essay on space

do you like the big lebowski then mia??? that is an awesome film, I want to be the dude, he rules

you can still send letter bombs to the fox hunters? you can get a housemate to take them to the post box for you

Since you have very little knowledge about that field, what makes you think you will even be allowed to study for a standard PhD???

You need to be sufficiently qualified in a relevent field before you just wake up one day and decide to study a PhD in that field.

I really want those things now.

I've never thought of it before, now i'm upset we don't have them. Damn you whoever started this discussion
