surely you should be teaching kids about cowboy builders?

One problem here is that if you anything resembling a deep interest you're labelled as a geek, nerd or an anorak. Knowledge, outside of buzz subjects, seems to be unfashionable.

oh yeah, definitely.

Actually, it's not funny at all when you read it.  Idiots.   :|

Excessively 'Politically Correct' actions (such as above) are fuel for the BNP's fire. In the UK, there always seems to be someone making political capital by taking offence on another persons behave. There was a recent story about the Police being instructed not to use the tradition term 'evening all' as some community groups don't understand the phrase. How misguided and patronising is that?

agreed. :lol: though i think plato maybe got there first.

i know ef all about plato. i aint that well read or cultured. i hear he's a solid bro though

A large percentage of British kids probably think Plato is a game character.

When I was small, thanks to the "Little Golden Encyclopedia" I knew Plato was a philosopher but I also thought he was the character shown on the "Play-Do" cans.

In my mind, still picture Plato that way to this day.
