  • Greater Glasgow, yes. Glasgow, no. It’s a bit like asking if Stockport is Manchester. It’s in Greater Manchester but not Manchester. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 4th May 2022 10:36pm)
  • Justice Secretary Humza Yousaf is a good example of the Glaswegian accent (look how up on YouTube). Watch ‘Help re-elect David Linden in Glasgow East’ on YouTube. David Linden is a Glasgow MP and has a Glaswegian accent. Paisley is a town near Glasgow with a slightly different accent. The Paisley accent is noticeable if you watch any video off the YouTube channel ‘StAnd Maths’ (it’s a teacher from a secondary school). None of these clips are about Glasgow but these are examples of the accents. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 4th May 2022 10:40pm)
  • What do you mean? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 23rd Jun 2022 8:01pm)
  • Do you find it hard to understand Glaswegians or is it just the captions are inaccurate? I have to talk to Siri in an English accent sometimes. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 23rd Jun 2022 8:09pm)
  • Yeah but why are only Scottish accents the issue? Scouse people or people with harsh Yorkshire accents don’t struggle to be understood. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 23rd Jun 2022 8:05pm)
  • Every Thistle fan I’ve ever known also supported Celtic. They're not really a neutral team IMO. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 8th Jul 2022 8:04pm)
  • Many believe PT to be a neutral team. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 8th Jul 2022 8:14pm)
  • I've had Rangers family who make comments like ‘I don't trust the Celtic supporters’. Heck, my Science teacher was a Celtic fan and even in the classroom he made negative comments about Protestants and Rangers fans. Grassroots football all the way. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 8th Jul 2022 8:11pm)
  • I’m from Drumchapel which is a Rangers area and I hear everyone belittle Celtic supporters. I often travel to a Celtic area and hear the same thing towards the Rangers fans. It's like the UK’s worst rivalry. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 8th Jul 2022 8:18pm)
  • Maybe Aberdeen we're right to have only one big team. Glasgow should do it too. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 8th Jul 2022 8:29pm)
  • I honestly wish all this Northern Irish shit would stay in Northern Ireland. ‘Orange forever. I hate the fenian scum’ ‘Bobby Sands is God. Death to the English. Green white gold.’ Like both sides need to just stfu. (These quotes are not my opinion) by Different_Dig6903 (Sat 20th Aug 2022 11:42pm)
  • If the Orange Order can legally walk on roads and shout offensive shit about Irish people then why can I not get escorted by police to simply walk on the road? by Different_Dig6903 (Sat 20th Aug 2022 11:40pm)
  • I thought the Scouse accent was harder to understand than the Glaswegian one, but I can understand why other Brits disagree after watching this video. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 11:08pm)
  • That’s Dundee not Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 11:14pm)
  • Outsiders must come to Glasgow and think wtf. You’d be surprised how often people act this hard. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 11:09pm)
  • ‘Nowhere near as bad as 15 years ago.’ I visited Toxteth Liverpool once and thought it was posh. Take of that what you will. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 22nd Aug 2022 11:15pm)
  • Do schools in Scotland even have the legal right to enforce their own uniform? by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 24th Aug 2022 6:14pm)
  • Just wondering because the Scottish NATIONALIST Party and their big government have made it impossible for schools to discipline pupils. Only one person apparently got expelled in an entire year in Scotland because the Scottish NATIONALIST Party restricted schools’ right to exclude. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 25th Aug 2022 12:29am)
  • When they’re wearing WHITE shoes it’s kind of hard to not notice. I bet the reason they can wear this to school is because the Scottish NATIONALIST (emphasis on that word) Party have forbid school discipline in Scotland. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 25th Aug 2022 12:26am)
  • Who owns XSite? It's technically not even owned by the same company as the shopping centre but the retail park, IKEA, the shops and XSite are collectively known as ‘Braehead’. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:13pm)
  • Is it because of rent prices soaring that they're using tiny stores? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:11pm)
  • It was good in 2016-2020 when all of it was owned by Intu (even Soar as it was known then) and the big H&M and Sports direct was there. It's all empty units now. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:11pm)
  • I feel as if Braehead are finding random stuff to fill the place. It's now full of stalls outside M&S advertising animal charities and Sky TV. There's an entire shop dedicated to American basketball apparel. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:10pm)
  • Not just Braehead. They sold the Trafford Centre in Manchester and Cribbs Causeway in Bristol too and done the same with those places. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:24pm)
  • It's just because I'm working in the KFC there and I'm starting to notice the decline big time. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:23pm)
  • We have Netflix and Apple Music. To anyone under 60 there's not much purpose to HMV. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:22pm)
  • They should stop using China to make stuff. If I was in charge the companies would be making their stuff in Britain. Who knows what the conditions are like in factories in Far East? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:21pm)
  • I'm a big fan of technology but the replacement of out of town shopping with the internet is just wrong IMO. I normally prefer out of town such as Braehead or Silverburn as opposed to city centres because: A) No drunks B) No people standing outside of Next shouting about how ‘being gay is an abomination to the Lord’ by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:20pm)
  • Silverburn only really sells clothes. But Braehead sells a wide range of technology and homeware stuff too. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:27pm)
  • I'm a big supporter of technology but out of town shopping centres shouldn't ever be replaced by online shopping. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:25pm)
  • KFC was mobbed by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:46pm)
  • I'd rather know that human rights were not getting violated. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 4th Sep 2022 9:45pm)
  • I live in G15 so I go to Clydebank all the time. Clydebank isn't too bad. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 5th Sep 2022 10:44am)
  • Is the increasing rent the reason why Braehead is full of either empty units or random shit shops like a shop that sells caps and a lot of tiny shops that sell rubbish make up. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 5th Sep 2022 10:52am)
  • What’s the point of HMV when you have Apple Music and Netflix (unless you’re buying headphones). by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 8th Sep 2022 11:34am)
  • What do you mean by interesting? by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 12th Sep 2022 2:40am)
  • G15 is a weird place. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 12th Sep 2022 12:00pm)
  • Part of it is technically (I think) by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 13th Sep 2022 12:20am)
  • I knew a girl in school whose parents were Malaysian immigrants and she was born near Glasgow and sounded as Scottish as me. Which is normal surely. Why wouldn’t someone have a Scottish accent if they’re born here? by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 7:34pm)
  • Are you responding to the right post? What are you on about? by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 7:32pm)
  • They’re not rare. I travel on the Glasgow FirstBus to work twice a week (buses are shit but that’s a rant for another day). I hear Black Scottish people all the time on buses to the point it’s normal. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 7:32pm)
  • DELETED Indian? Surely they’re Scottish once they’re born in Scotland. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 7:39pm)
  • Well that’s what the comments on a Scottish Black man’s TikTok video said. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 11:14pm)
  • ‘Don’t look Scottish.’ - Nonsense. You’re one of us. You’re born here. If anyone tells you otherwise they’re a racist. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 11:13pm)
  • Not usually true. There was a kid in my primary school and his parents were from Pakistan and he sounded 100% Glaswegian. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 11:15pm)
  • Exactly. Glaswegian born and raised people have Glasgow accents. Big shock. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 11:24pm)
  • I find it hard to believe that someone born in Manchester would have what Indians living in India would consider to be an Indian accent. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 11:23pm)
  • No I’ve been to Birmingham and the Asians all sounded exactly like Jack Grealish, same as the white people. by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 20th Sep 2022 11:22pm)
  • Nothing surprising about it. He’s probably born here. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 12:20am)
  • No. Even in Scotland the second gen immigrants (the ones born here to immigrant parents) sound fully Glaswegian. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 8:01am)
  • He had a Highlands accent, not a Glaswegian. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 8:00am)
  • Yeah but chances are you’re from London. People born in Glasgow don’t have London accents. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 1:33pm)
  • You from Glasgow? by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 1:32pm)
  • You heard of MadWhiteJamaican? by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 1:36pm)
  • Doubt it. People born in Scotland tend to have a Scottish accent. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 7:46pm)
  • Maybe the people you’re talking about are Londoners who have moved up. I’ve never heard anyone born in Scotland speak with anything but a Scottish accent. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 7:45pm)
  • That must be an East End thing because in Drumchapel, people born here have the Glasgow accent. I mean technically the Drumchapel accent sounds distinctive compared to most of Glasgow but still. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 7:54pm)
  • A) I’m opposed to Independence. B) I’m from G15 Drumchapel. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 21st Sep 2022 7:52pm)
  • No you haven’t read it right. I’m pointing out the STUPIDITY of the racists. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 23rd Sep 2022 10:30am)
  • West Dun? Posh? 😂 My local secondary school in West Dun had to relax their uniform policy in 2016 (plain black trainers could be worn in place on dress shoes) because some people couldn’t afford it. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 4:34pm)
  • Is Milngavie a bit cheaper than Bearsden? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 4:35pm)
  • Yeah a lot of people in the south of England seem to glorify places like East Dunbartonshire. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 6:08pm)
  • Is Bearsden Academy not kind of the reason why the house costs in G61 are sky high? People trying to get catchments. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 6:13pm)
  • As a Glaswegian, Edinburgh feels like a strange place. It feels more like a load of villages joined together than a city. Very hilly. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 6:10pm)
  • For the purposes of this, Bearsden is in Glasgow and so is Giffnock and Newton Mearns. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 6:19pm)
  • Been to Bearsden a lot (I live in Drumchapel) and the people there all have Glaswegian accents. It has a G postcode. Might as well be Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 6:18pm)
  • As a general rule, if I can listen to someone and they sound Glaswegian, I would assume that the place they’re from is Glasgow. East Ren would surely be Glasgow then. If it has a G postcode, chances are it’s Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 6:28pm)
  • Is Pollokshields a good area? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 7:50pm)
  • It is though. Would a mathematician get offended if I told them that 7 squared is 49? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:12pm)
  • But Pollokshields is better than Pollokshaws. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:19pm)
  • Drumchapel=Glasgow, Bearsden=Glasgow, Milngavie=Glasgow, Newton Mearns=Glasgow, Clydebank=not Glasgow, Paisley=not Glasgow, Coatbridge = not Glasgow by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:15pm)
  • You don’t consider Bishopbriggs to be in Glasgow? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:32pm)
  • Cambuslang and Newton are surely Glasgow. Paisley and Coatbridge maybe not. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:30pm)
  • I’ve heard Boclair Academy is shit. No one ever has a clue where the place actually is. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:49pm)
  • Pollokshields and Ibrox is a massive dichotomy. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:47pm)
  • Or you could use the rule of if people from a town sound Glaswegian, then it’s Glasgow. I work with an old guy from Paisley and he sounds nothing like a Glaswegian so we can rule out Paisley. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:51pm)
  • If you were to explain to someone from London where Bishopbriggs was you’d tell them that it was in Glasgow wouldn’t you? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 9:58pm)
  • Stirling? That well known place in Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 10:04pm)
  • No I’ve heard people complain about how strict Boclair is as a school (apparently someone got isolation for wrong uniform or some nonsense). I’m not saying it’s bad because I look down on those people. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 29th Sep 2022 10:23pm)
  • Doesn’t matter that it’s TECHNICALLY outwith the council area. People from Bishopbriggs have a G postcode and talk like Glaswegians. Therefore Bishopbriggs = Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:23am)
  • If Newton Mearns isn’t in Glasgow then Biden is the best POTUS ever. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:22am)
  • No by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:21am)
  • What school is this you’re referring to? by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:47am)
  • Which school is this? Your headteacher sounds like a dictator. (I’m going to guess it’s Boclair Academy, I’ve heard they’re strict af). by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:53am)
  • I thought hair dye was generally allowed in Scottish schools. Maybe your headteacher was English because English schools (especially ones ran by academy chains or the Coop or that shit) are usually stricter. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 12:50am)
  • Yeah ‘file not found’. That famous place in Glasgow . by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 1:00am)
  • Even in class did you have to wear it? What school was this? It sounds strict as hell. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 1:33am)
  • If I were to adopt a child (I’m against relationships) then I would strive to send them to a school in somewhere like Giffnock. Went to a school in West Dunbartonshire and the quality of education was dreadful. Supply teachers sometimes every second lesson, the pupils just wear Converse and one person even got let in without uniform, the headteacher was never seen anywhere. The level of maths education was poor to the point that a large number of S1 pupils were learning how to add stuff like 38+82. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 1:54am)
  • Didn’t have detention? Your school is rare. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 2:09am)
  • Don’t a large number of English people live there though? by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:13am)
  • Or maybe it’s because you hear much more in the news headlines about people being suspended or excluded from English schools than Scotland ones. Scottish education is barely reported. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:12am)
  • Imagine driving a Corsa. 😂 by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:11am)
  • My grammar is correct. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:19am)
  • British headteachers are all on a power trip like that usually by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:15am)
  • Voting Tory in Glasgow or Liverpool quickly makes you unpopular. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:21am)
  • Your school is rare surely. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 9:31am)
  • Guessing your school has had a bad rep in the past then. Once ANY accusation is made against a member of staff they should be suspended with full pay and if guilty they should lose all of the money they earned during the suspension. Obviously if not guilty then they keep the money and can be reinstated. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 10:02am)
  • I guess their pay must be too shit for them to want to stay back. My teachers striked non stop. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 10:06am)
  • Is Newton not Glasgow? by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 10:05am)
  • Bet it was private. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 1:47pm)
  • And by what metric do they judge what to pay employees based on the area deprivation? How do we decide that ‘this area is poor this isn’t’? There is not a 100% perfect correlation between low deprivation and good behaviour. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 1:51pm)
  • Clydebank isn’t Glasgow. The mail says ‘Clydebank’ but in somewhere like Newton Mearns it says ‘Glasgow’. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 7:44pm)
  • I would consider Lenzie as Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 7:43pm)
  • Rutherglen might be technically in South Lanarkshire but it’s clearly Glasgow. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 7:43pm)
  • If Bearsden is Glasgow then surely Milngavie is too. by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 30th Sep 2022 7:40pm)
  • It’s a state school though? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 9:22pm)
  • No but I’ve heard that they built SPECIFIC houses for the purpose of this school. I know people in Drumchapel who went to equally as good Bearsden Academy (no idea how they possibly managed that) so I don’t think other schools are as stupid with catchments. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 9:22pm)
  • Every year when Jordanhill come first in Scottish league tables it’s like letting Man United join the bottom league in Scottish football and being shocked when they come first every time. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 9:28pm)
  • As someone who went to a school in a really deprived area, I’m guessing somewhere like Bearsden or Williamwood has less instances of misbehaviour which in turn means the teachers are not going mad at people (which in turn means the teachers are nicer). My school was in Clydebank and nobody could behave themselves. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 10:53pm)
  • Really? I thought Bearsden Academy was mega oversubscribed. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 10:49pm)
  • I’ve heard that both schools in Bearsden (I live in Drumchapel so I’m from near there) are mega strict. Is that the case? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 10:58pm)
  • Was it a good school? I’ve heard from people that both that school and Boclair are North Korea strict. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 10:56pm)
  • Is Jordanhill the area posh because of the school being there or vice versa? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 11:01pm)
  • That has to be illegal for them to ban people living RIGHT NEXT to the school. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 11:00pm)
  • Surprised as they’re like number 3 on the league tables. If misbehaviour is bad there then surely the only explanation is that off rolling occurred. I’ve heard that now the school is strict as hell. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 11:08pm)
  • Yeah the schools in the deprived areas can be nurturing and still get their act together. I went to one in a deprived area and people would sit using phones in class and a few guys wore Lacoste joggers to school. I’m not kidding but I’m S2 there was even a kid who drew the Nazi swastika on a school whiteboard and made fun of the Holocaust (they got suspended then got isolation once they came back). by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 11:05pm)
  • Bearsden might have bad behaviour issues. But I bet that they’re wasn’t people who publicly endorsed Adolf Hitler at it (like one boy at my school). by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 11:13pm)
  • DELETED Some of the private schools in Glasgow tend to have their own accent. And apparently you can tell each private school apart by the accent (I obviously can’t tell the difference). by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 23rd Oct 2022 11:36pm)
  • Can’t speak for East Ren but East Dunbartonshire doesn’t have this issue. I stay in a deprived area (which is Glasgow City Council) near to Bearsden and people in my estate actually managed to go to Bearsden Academy despite it being outside of the catchment. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 12:09am)
  • No. False. State schools, which Jordanhill is, is bound by the Equality Act 2010. We can agree that Jordanhill has no legal right to stop a Black or a gay or a Muslim or a Jewish or a transgender person going there. So why are they allowed to discriminate on things like autism? As someone with autism, I believe that no state school should be allowed to breach the Equality Act 2010 in any way (unless it’s a religious school in which case it legally can prioritise people of a religion, my school was Catholic and baptised Catholics were more likely to get placing requests). by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 12:49am)
  • In fact I’m going in because the person has been in Fife for the past four days and only came back hours before testing positive and I’ve barely seen them. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 7:39am)
  • I hope they all got jailed. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 10:17am)
  • I thought schools had a safeguarding responsibility. Whoever was in charge failed. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 10:55am)
  • I thought Scotland doesn’t do permanent exclusion. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 11:08am)
  • Even if it’s legal to date students six months after, why tf do they even want to? That’s weird. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 11:07am)
  • There was a famous case in England of a teacher who smashed a pupil’s face with a dumbbell because the pupil ‘misbehaved’ and it was sad how many people on the Daily Mail comments supported the teacher, many of whom likely have children themselves. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 11:07am)
  • Drumchapel High is now shit. Must’ve got worse since you went. by Different_Dig6903 (Mon 24th Oct 2022 11:43am)
  • EK has a more American layout same with Milton Keynes by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 28th Oct 2022 1:24pm)
  • Is it just me or is East Kilbride like the odd town out in Scotland? Can’t tell what it is about the place but parts of it feel really American. (Livingston and Falkirk also stick out as being unique places aswell) by Different_Dig6903 (Fri 28th Oct 2022 8:39pm)
  • Yeah EK is big for boy racing I’ll give you that. Car meets are a big thing there, don’t know why though. by Different_Dig6903 (Sat 29th Oct 2022 8:22am)
  • Cumbernauld isn’t too bad but wtf is the shopping centre? The architect committed a major crime by Different_Dig6903 (Sat 29th Oct 2022 8:21am)
  • If Cumbernauld was state number 51, would it vote for the Republicans or the Dems? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 30th Oct 2022 12:57am)
  • Greggs on Byres Road. Can never get a sausage roll on my lunch break because the pupils of Notre Dame High bought them all. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 3rd Nov 2022 3:21pm)
  • Does Notre Dame admit boys now or is it still a girls school? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 3rd Nov 2022 5:53pm)
  • Was it Byres Road one next to the uni? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 3rd Nov 2022 5:53pm)
  • To be clear, I don’t support permanent exclusion unless a pupil is violent or abusive. Misbehaviour shouldn’t warrant permanent exclusion but drugs, weapons, hate crimes, sexual assault, violence against teachers should. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 12:29am)
  • Are they not allowed? by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 10:32am)
  • They should just use a bit more discipline against violent pupils by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 9:29pm)
  • I’m on the fence. If it’s misbehaviour like using phone at wrong time, wrong uniform, talking in class, restorative approaches work. If they attack teachers and swear at them and especially if they have drugs or weapons, exclusions are usually necessary. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 9:30pm)
  • DELETED East Dunbartonshire schools are stricter than Glasgow ones. I live in Glasgow but on the border to East Dunbartonshire and one of the schools won’t let you do S5 unless you pass enough Nat 5s. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 9:39pm)
  • If a pupil knowingly and willingly takes a weapon into a school or attacks a teacher or pupil to cause injury or racially abuses a pupil then permanent exclusion is usually necessary but schools shouldn’t ever be allowed to permanent exclude for ‘bad behaviour’. I’ve heard of schools excluding people for not wearing the correct uniform, that is wrong. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 9:35pm)
  • I went to a school near Glasgow (won’t disclose the location) and there was a boy who moved from Cumbernauld to it and apparently sexually assaulted my female friend. He was permanently excluded. This was 2020, the exact same year that Scotland apparently had only one permanent exclusion. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 20th Nov 2022 9:42pm)
  • Wtf. You can’t exclude in Scotland for a rape threat but in England wearing a blazer that’s one inch too short on the sleeves could get you booted out (I’m not kidding that’s happened). by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 22nd Nov 2022 5:59pm)
  • I’m going to actually say that in 3) the kid with the knife was severely autistic and didn’t know what the hell was happening. But yeah normally having a knife is leave and never come back. I hope the teacher in 4) was ok. I hope he got jailed the fucking rat bag that he is (the one who threatened rape). by Different_Dig6903 (Tue 22nd Nov 2022 6:08pm)
  • What does that mean in this context by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 9:12pm)
  • I’m from Drumchapel and I stay ‘stair’ with an ‘A’ sound like the way you’d say the letter A. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 9:12pm)
  • I live near Bearsden and Bearsden weirdly has a different accent. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 10:32pm)
  • What does money have to do with accents though? I could win the Lottery tomorrow. I doubt I’d lose my accent if I did. by Different_Dig6903 (Wed 23rd Nov 2022 11:49pm)
  • Which is near Glasgow though by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:32am)
  • I live near Clydebank and I’ve never noticed a Clydebank accent. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:32am)
  • Greenock 100% has a different accent to Glasgow. I had a teacher from Greenock in S5 and I wondered for months why this guy sounded unique. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:37am)
  • But now that I think about it my parents are from Clydebank and I’m born in Glasgow and sometimes they make comments about my different pronunciation. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:35am)
  • Accents are more noticeable with older people by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 11:45am)

  • Is it sarcasm? Motherwell definitely sounds different to Glasgow by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 3:36pm)
  • I overheard someone on a bus in Glasgow saying that they got something from Faraday Retail Park so I’m guessing they’re from Coatbridge and they didn’t sound Glaswegian at all. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 24th Nov 2022 3:43pm)

  • Bearsden is East Dunbartonshire, technically. But it’s in Glasgow. Everyone I know from Bearsden says their Glaswegian. by Different_Dig6903 (Sun 27th Nov 2022 9:00pm)
  • I’m only going off of what I’ve heard. I went to school in Glasgow and not East Ren but we didn’t have this rule at our school. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:23am)
  • It’s only enforced INSIDE school property. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:22am)
  • How do you know it’s crap? Strict schools are fairly common. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:24am)
  • That could easily be a detention. One teacher in my school gave someone a detention because they did the homework incorrectly even though they did do it. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:42am)
  • Your third last paragraph. In society in general it’s more or less accepted that two people of the same sex of different races can be friends. Only racists deny that. But quite a lot more people are opposed to the idea of two people of the same race but opposite sex being friends. In both cases you have exactly one difference between the two people. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:49am)

  • Notre Dame High School was an only girls school. It now admits boys and I know because I’m in Partick a lot. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:58am)
  • Unpopular opinion: TikTok is actually good most of the time apart from some stupid kids who are chronically online. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:56am)
  • I would disagree on the second point purely because some religions prohibit gender mixing. In Islam having opposite sex friends is usually seen as ‘haram’. Extremely conservative sects of Orthodox Judaism believe similar stuff. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:12am)
  • Don’t know. I never went to the school. My school allowed opposite sex friends but people usually stuck to their own gender at least until S5. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:20am)
  • Are you suggesting (falsely) that having only friends of the same sex causes homosexuality? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:25am)

  • Why is the university obsessed with communism? I’m no right winger at all but communism is shit. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:53pm)
  • I think it’s the kind of socialism that’s similar to communism I.e. Venezuela. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:52pm)
  • Most of the leaflets are normal. The trade union ones are fair because they get paid shit and women’s rights yes. But stickers saying ‘Against all authority’ are extreme. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 1:56pm)
  • Venezuela WAS communist and so WAS Cuba but not so much now by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:04pm)
  • Tf no. China is capitalist. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:03pm)
  • No. I’m British obviously. I would say I’m left wing but socialism tends to become communism and I wouldn’t trust a government with socialism. It would turn into the government taking tax and making people equally poor. The government would destroy the money. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:00pm)
  • The difference is that the Conservatives support low taxation. Which is bad because while multi- millionaires exist you have people barely able to eat. I hate Elon Musk especially for this. Progressive taxation where those in poverty pay little and wealthy rich pay much more is the perfect solution. Socialism/communism has tended to, in history, use high taxation for everyone and just wreck the money. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:07pm)
  • Nothing communist about modern China. Just the name. The Nazis weren’t Socialists by any stretch of the imagination as the name says. Private companies became the government in Nazi Germany. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:13pm)
  • Nordic model is by far the best solution. I think the Polish and Chinese would be sick at the idea of full on socialism. Only issue with the Nordic Model is that it may lead to anti-immigrant (and therefore racist) sentiment because some people believe that a strong welfare state and immigration don’t work together. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:11pm)
  • SNP is more a social democracy than socialism. In terms of their economy policy I agree with SNP but I’m a unionist so won’t be voting them. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:17pm)
  • The SNP can switch from left to right. The only unifying policy is that they want Scotland to be independent. Currently, they are left wing. But years ago they were far more right wing. Half of the SNP have the policies of Labour but support independence and the other half have the Tory policies but support independence. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:16pm)
  • The welfare system is becoming lost. I don’t support full socialism, but the Tories are WAY too right wing. Any bets the NHS will collapse. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:23pm)
  • I don’t agree that Scotland should be independent of the UK. That single belief would excommunicate me from the SNP. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:22pm)
  • Although it is possible to have immigration and a welfare state, but people don’t realise this. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:21pm)
  • The more left wing you become with economics, anti-immigrant sentiment may increase. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:20pm)
  • People in Britain would build a wall if they could. It’s just that Trump is less scared to embolden racists. UK is definitely worse for this stuff. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:29pm)

  • If you vote SNP and don’t want independence you might aswell be a Muslim and deny the existence of the Prophet Muhammad? by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:27pm)
  • America has less anti-immigrant sentiment than Britain. That is because nothing gets handed to immigrants over there. Not that I agree with the American way, but I’m sure that Britain giving immigrants a bigger ‘helping hand’ (as they should) pisses some people off. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:25pm)
  • You can disagree over whether or not schools or hospitals should be funded more. You can disagree over the ‘Hate Crime Bill’. But supporting independence is the defining policy. MPs have lost their SNP seats because they’ve posted anti independence memes on Twitter. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:31pm)
  • Yeah Trade Unions are limited to Lib Dem’s and anything more left wing. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:38pm)
  • In America racism usually takes the form of ‘I hate ___ race’. In Britain, a Black man named John who was born in West London will experience racism but a white Romanian man coming to the UK with nothing isn’t any better off really. In America hatred based on race is more common but in the UK I’ve noticed that it is more a case of British born vs foreign born. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 2:37pm)
  • I’ve been away at work so I’ll reply now. I used to believe the lie that the ‘UK is more progressive than America in racial attitudes.’ But all I witness first hand in my small town just outside of Glasgow, is White people telling non-White that their experiences of racism are either exaggerated or outright false. There’s also people who deny that racism is in issue in the UK. Shameful really. Especially because of our past in the Slave Trade, Glaswegians need to do better. by Different_Dig6903 (Thu 1st Dec 2022 7:22pm)
