Politcial Research

I've 'eard that Habermas only uses t'internet to do e-bay and look up pictures of Big Brother contestants in the buff.

There's no evidence, but its a FACT.

 

[Rebecca1983]

Are you quoting these questions?

If you mean are they some1 elses questions, they probably have been asked before but on this occasion they come from my teeny brain- they should however be asked more often

Perhaps he does i've unfortunately never met the man

Thanks for all your help people-the questionnaire does really work on other people-it is a conformation to the norm.
It is interesting that by making people annoyed they are more likely to become active and respond, I wonder if I stole it from Tony Blair- he did cause the biggest demonsration in years over Iraq
thanks again and goodnight all

. . . by making people annoyed . . .

Don't flatter yourself darlin'.

I seem to have learnt a lot about the type of people who use these internet forums, interesting indeed...

If you're this ready to form opinions based on very limited information, are you quite sure you're ready to be doing a masters?

I don't think Habermas' 18th Century public sphere is to be recreated on the internet as many hoped, oh well... One way to kick democracy whilst its down.

And a good thing too, bloody Frankfurt schooler dreck.

By the way do you dislike students because you have a crappy job and aren't quite intelligent enough to get into University?

She probably dislikes some students because they labour under delusions of intellectual adequacy, and attampt to garner research from bulletin boards when it is quite obvious they didn't have the courtesy to read the bulletin board's FAQx, where they would have been able to take note that the board owner requests people to contact him and ask permission prior to splurging their questions over his site.

"Yes"
Thought so... like i said the types of people who use forums- an interesting addition to my research.

Ah well, at least you'll have injected something interesting into it!

For a "successful postgraduate student" your spelling is atrocious.

well apoligise biut some1 did say they were annoyed- were they lying?

its more the typing (lazy student u kno)

I think her post exemplifies the Captain Mainwaring approach to face-saving; when you get caught out it's best to pretend that people are doing exactly what you wanted them to do/reacting exactly as you want them to react.

The problem with it is that it's fairly transparent.

unfortuantely no, the key to good research is a back up plan and i dont need to save face as well so of us well i wont insult anyone else

I did indeed waste a few minutes of my life reading the entire thread, and while I was able to discern the "method" (some of us aren't completely uneducated, you know!), I can't see quite how you can draw any usable conclusions from what little data you might have garnered.

...no i didnt read the FAQs but who does adn who cares

Ah, I see, so you believe that if you don't acknowledge the rules you don't have to abide by them?

How touchingly sociopathic.

Ah, but you would say that, wouldn't you?

 

[A Dashing Blade]

. . . and i dont need to save face as well so of us well i wont insult anyone else

er . . . in English please??
(French or German will do at a pinch, anything East European or Latin or Greek as a very last resort)

We're still gagging with aniticapation re Rebecca's definition of "successful" but suspecting it means something like "got a <insert appropriate grade> in <insert appropriate qualification> at <insert appropriate uni/poly/whatever>, couldn't get a job so bull-shitted my way onto a masters"

But hey! You decide

 

[A Dashing Blade]

. . . double post

I have already written a thesis on the contents of this thread. My tutor thinks I have a strong case. You are all my little rats in cages. Dance my pretties dance! Mwahaha. Oh it is I who shall be laughing, yes indeed.

you had my sympathy up until this point.

cos

a) habermas is fucking shite, and his theory of civil society is nothing but a facade hiding real power relations, despite the fact he claims to be aiming for the perfect speech situation he seems to think it can happen under capitalism.

b) the idea that you have to be anyway smart to get into University. Fuck em i know people who are positively thick doing Phd's.

I wonder what perked up the mighty Attica's interest in my post?

seem's Althusser was right the subject realises itself through the call of ideology.

Au contraire, I have no interest in your post, and you know I prefer E.P. Thompson to Althusser...

When Freedom Is Outlawed.........

Rebecca does this have anything to do with free will: Dennet Popper etc.
Jerry Reuben said some interesting stuff about this sort of thing: YIPPIES/YUPPIES.
By the way,as a 23yr. old female student, have yo got big tits, relatively naive abou things, and after a few drinks easy to get laid???

What? Please explain yourself.

 

[Brainaddict]

Hmmm, just noticed this thread. There *could* have been an interesting discussion here about Habermas and the internet, but the obnoxiousness of the poster ensured that didn't happen.
Funny that someone claiming to be researching internet forums should know so little about how to behave on one....

PS I have to echo fp in saying to Nigel, WTF you on about?

 

[snadge]

use your tagline for it....

D'ya mean Jerry Rubin by any chance?

Oh, and by the way, soliciting for sex, that's sordid mate.
