    Thoughts on Brexit (Britain leaving the EU)?

    I get what you're saying, but I just think it's a dangerous territory assuming that the general public are too stupid to make any decisions about their country. Then you could start saying that we're too stupid to vote who goes into power, etc, and then what could happen? We could become like...

    Thoughts on Brexit (Britain leaving the EU)?

    So you don't want civilians to have any input into what happens to their country?

    Thoughts on Brexit (Britain leaving the EU)?

    But it's the majority. What would you rather have instead, a minority decide? A dictator?

    Favourite Country you have visited?

    Probably Italy, because I've been to different areas of it and they've all been lovely, especially Venice!

    Thoughts on Brexit (Britain leaving the EU)?

    That's how democracy works, though. Out of the people who voted, a majority, even though just by a fraction, wanted to leave. And our government have to respect the people's decision. I voted remain and I'm disappointed, but it's done now and I think it's stupid to try again just because we...

    Do you drink alcohol and smoke?

    I drink every so often, I used to get crazy drunk every weekend but I'm so over that now haha. Drinking now and then, particularly red wine, is actually possibly beneficial for your health (cardio-protective) I don't really smoke but my boyfriend does so sometimes I have one now and then. I am...

    Let's Talk Education

    I guess I love education because I'm on a 5-year university course and am planning to do an extra year too. I'm in my third year now, so all my other friends are graduating uni which is a bit depressing sometimes but I'm still glad I'm doing this.

    Thoughts on Brexit (Britain leaving the EU)?

    I don't think we should leave. I'll be honest, I've been so busy with uni work this year that I haven't been able to do the in-depth research that I wanted to do, but from what I've gathered I think it would be better to stay and that's what I'm gonna vote. There are good and bad points for each...

    is anyone else from england ashamed to live here?

    No, I'm not ashamed. Like all countries it has its flaws but I think it's a good country in general. I think the education system is better than most and we have good universities, which yeah although we have to pay the loan system is decent (for the moment). And also I'm really proud of our...

    how many pillows do you sleep with?

    Aha this is weird because this is a question you often have to ask patients with heart failure. 3 or more pillows is a warning sign that it's really bad Anyways I sleep with 2 because otherwise my shoulders are really stiff in the morning

    Thoughts on Depression.

    I'm not saying everyone should jump straight to meds; it depends on the person and the situation. But what I mean is people who DO need meds shouldn't be shamed for it.

    Should Animals be used for research?

    Yes, they are, at least for this moment in time, a critical part of research and have been used in pretty much every medical breakthrough ever. I think what a lot of people don't realise is you can't usually just start the research on humans and do it all on humans. For example you can't fiddle...

    Do you think child leashes are ok?

    EXACTLY. I think what people also don't realise is that young children are curious and have NO CONCEPT OF DANGER. So especially when there's busy roads or bodies of water nearby etc, I can completely see why you'd use one. I'd rather have my child on a leash than have a mini heart attack...

    Do you want kids?

    I don't have strong feelings either way - I kindof like the idea of having kids, but I'm not sure I'd actually like it, haha. Also, my career is really important to me so I hate the idea of having to take time off or go part time.
