Video Description:
The 'Cambridge Experience': spectacular, superficial, stimulating, suffocating. Filmed and edited during the third-year of my undergraduate degree in King's College, Cambridge University, UK. (I studied Philosophy, Economics and Politics.) It's an attempt to portray my experience of life in Cambridge: spectacular, superficial, stimulating, suffocating. I used Mini-DV in a Sony handicam, and spent bloody ages playing around with different transitions and effects in an editing suite, many of which I had to custom make myself, cf. the flowery bit in the middle...

To pisswit: That's ... ( 1 month ago by YogaNate79)

To pisswit: That's because during WW2, we could have cared less about you. We intentionally sat back, laughed, and placed on bets on when Hitler would defeat you until we stepped in. But good on us, we bankrupted the UK and you were indebted to us for over 60 years.

What you mean to ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

What you mean to say is "we COULDN"T have cared less". What you said has the opposite meaning to what you think it does.. think about it for a moment. Ok, it might take longer than that. And your history is pitifully off, Hitler didn't lose because of America, he lost because of a combination of the Russian multitudes and impenetrability of the UK. We know you're fed a lot of propaganda in school - that you cracked the enigma code etc. You think saving private ryan was how it all happened. moron

Did your propaganda ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

Did your propaganda nightmare allow you to know that the meathead US strategy in iraq of just carpet bombing the country randomly made things much worse, and massive america had to come crawling to tiny UK for military expertise and tactics in the form of the Black Watch? and that the kurds would fight alongside us but wouldn't go within range of your guns because you famously just shoot at anything whether it's on your side or not, even your own uniformed troops? your army's a highly armed mess

To pisswit: Please, ... ( 1 month ago by YogaNate79)

To pisswit: Please, your country was completely broken finacially, morally, and militarily during WW2. People like my grandparents were taking bets on when you'd give up. But don't expect any favors in the future from us, because just as Americans (not the government) were apt to let you fall to fascism, we'd still be less prone today.

I know they tell ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

I know they tell you that you have separation of church and state, but you don't. It's on the money. It's in the pledge that you creepily make children chant at your cult flag in the morning (no-one in a civilised country has rows of flags about the place, in their gardens etc, it's so primitive). Bush is a religious leader making religious decisions for the nation. most of your politicians go on about god and sign off with "god bless america" etc.. not a whiff of that here. we grew the fuck up.

Financially, ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

Financially, certainly, and militarily mostly, but as I said - and as someone who's studied this outside of 'patriotic' american textbooks and wikipedia - the Russians were by far the main reason hitler lost. I know that doesn't sit well with the american cult, but it's true. london is now back to being the financial capital of the world, with more american banks than in new york. by the way your third sentence actually means nothing, do you ever read books at all?

To pisswit: It's ... ( 1 month ago by YogaNate79)

To pisswit: It's just like 911. Britain's corcodile tears and grieving was superficial in the aftermath of the attacks. Underneath the national anthem being played at Buckingham Palace, the church services, and the poltical and personal tributes, everyone over there was whispering to each other, "The Americans got what they deserved."
Even before the fire wasd put out, the French accused us of doing this to ourselves as a way to steal oil and to kill babies. I'd expect this lewd behavior.

Ever heard of ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

Ever heard of operation northwoods? America is on file making plans to kill its own civillians and bomb its own assets as an excuse to invade cuba - the D o D and joint chiefs of staff all signed off on it, kennedy angrily forbade it.. then got shot through the throat and brain. 9/11 may not have been a hoax, but it's also possible that it was, and the fact that you dismiss what "the french" (a french author) said so automatically shows you're another patriotic automaton that can't be objective

I don't know where ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

I don't know where you get this idea that we thought you got what you deserved. we're your best friends - your only other 'friend' (or military outpost), Israel, openly despises you and cynically manipulates you. over here we like the America of the values it once espoused - the 18th century Enlightenment values of the philadelphia convention - but you've lost the way and are now like a blind, rabid, fearful, ignorant, deeply religious maniac with no understanding of the limits of his own power.

To pisswit: "We're ... ( 1 month ago by YogaNate79)

To pisswit: "We're your best friends." In your eyes maybe! That gave me a good chuckle.
It's none of Britain's concern about what we do in the world. If we want to bomb other countries, then we shall do so. War is a business in the United States just like health care, education, retail, etc. Everything is for profit.

So who do you think ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

So who do you think is your best friend? You've really dug yourself into a hole internationally - literally everyone except us thinks you're a rancid horde - and now the american bubble is bursting ahead of time.. that didn't take long did it. less than a century. not a great run. what do you think america's future holds with no friends and a plummeting economy? and how can you go in for all this Jesus stuff and still say such cadaverous war-relishing blackness as you just have? hypocrite

We thought ahead, ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

We thought ahead, and actually went from superpower to integrated member of the world. America has been acting like it'll keep the top spot forever. in fact it's going to be one of the shortest-lived empires of all time.

I suspect, like ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

I suspect, like most christians and religious head-cases generally, you don't know much about your own ridiculous guide-book, or whatever the fucking thing is, and it's more just part of your 'identity'. You're 'all-american' (and you actually SAID that, deliciously enough), so therefore you're a christian. you just happen to worship filthy lucre, blaspheme your imaginary god through idolatrous flag-worship, hate and misconstrue foreigners, who you think should basically just die, etc. hypocrsiy

Anyway, I've had my ... ( 1 month ago by pisswit)

Anyway, I've had my fun. Argue with Alasdair if you want the civil angle on all this transatlantic culture shock. You emerge a bedraggled, pointless mess, none the wiser if only because you're entirely closed off to even faintly challenging perspectives. Keep saluting, you'll live to see the wake-up call bring your cult crashing down around you. In the meantime, spend, obey, spend, obey, spend, obey, spread the stultifying misinformation and stay firmly asleep. Your country likes you that way.

holy shit i wanna go to cambridge so bad...if u get all a's u can go ther for free. if u finish this university u can work anywhere..omfg.

You can study ... ( 2 days ago by solo2wolf)

You can study Natural Sciences and specialise in computing. You could also take general engineering and specialise in systems or electrical/Software engineering. The best engineering programs in the UK are at Imperial College but they are not nearly as flexible as the Oxbridge general engineering and Engineering Science courses. I would choose Cambridge over Oxford for engineering but Oxford over Cambridge for computer Science. You should choose ISE,EEE or CS at Imperial College over Oxbridge.

Regarding the ... ( 2 days ago by solo2wolf)

Regarding the attraction of international students to unis in the US, the UK has far more International institutions both in students and faculty. LSE is the most international university in the world and Imperial is pretty close to that mark. Oxbridge also attract more international students than typical Ivy's with 10-15% of students being from outside the EU. Imperial is 45% international (65% on some courses!) and LSE is almost 60% International!

continued: ... ( 2 days ago by solo2wolf)

continued: Imperial meanwhile charges the highest fees in the UK for international students on all its courses, far higher than any Ivy plus MIT,Caltech etc. The high fees aren't a good thing but I'm just making the point that these students recognise the superior education at these UK institutions despite the higher tuition fees.
