Hi there JAYB...

I couldn't agree with you more, when you say, you don't have to possess a Degree from a University, to have a valid (& intelligent) opinion. Someone asserted 2GB's Alan Jones hadn't achieved a Journalist Degree. Does it matter? He does have a degree from Oxford, either a BA or B.Ed. If I'm not wrong? Whatever formal qualifications he has or not, Alan JONES is no one's fool.

But you're right, we are all entitled to our own opinions, and whether we are endowed with a string of degrees, it means naught, without buckets of common-sense.

For my penance, I spent several years in the police academy, as an Instructor. Bugger all overtime or penalty rates. We went through a recruiting phase, where the then Commissioner, wanted only graduates, especially those with a law, or accountancy degrees. You wouldn't believe how 'thick' some of these graduates were when attempting to construct a simple 'Brief of Evidence.'

Many left out of their 'Brief's', such essential data that must be included in the vital 'Criminal Proofs,' that are utterly necessary to prosecute an accused successfully. Even some of the basic, 'Five Common Proofs,' were missed! Weren't these recruits supposed to be the 'cream of the crop,' with their law degrees, I certainly hoped not at the time, I can tell you?

Sorry there FOXY...

My memory is not so good these days. I recall SUSIE, the others I can't, I'm sorry.

Belly,

"Ever found a person from another race who you liked[?]".

Yes, my stock horse, he's from the Equine race also my dogs who are of the Canine race and not forgetting the egg suppliers who are kinda mixed up.

If you mean have I ever found a person from a different group of the human race, then, yes.

Is MIse,

What constitutes a person?

Foxy,

Depends on the point of view.
