Falling on the wrong side

People are falling on the wrong side again.

The O', N' and A' Level results were released last Friday, and I've hearing the most interesting stories from my sister about several of her friends. One scored straight A's, and her parents are basically coercing her to try for Law or Medicine when she's interested in Engineering; another one with 2 A's and 2 B's is trying to rid her mum's perception of Architecture as a course with no job prospects. What are parents doing nowadays that are coherent and sound? Does studying in Science makes one a "Medicine school reject"? Does studying in Arts makes one a "Business school reject?" What makes you think that the other courses are "for students of lower aptitude"? Or is your child just a long-term investment? In what position are you to decide for your child? As a parent? Or as a tyrannic bundle of fallacies?

And more people are falling on the wrong side.

Diplomats getting into trouble (and it isn't just one). TV personalities getting into extra-marital affairs (and it isn't just one). Celebrity sex scandals (and it isn't just one). What exactly is examplar nowadays? The good guys or the bad guys? Or the guys who tell the lies?
