Like AC said, until someone quotes you, you have a second chance.

An Irish girl named Diane? In the past three decades? Unlikely.

}The real reason for that odd post was that i had to change the topic. Fast. It was getting very depressing{

Yes, I imagine it would be depressing to you if we managed to kill your unkillable topic...

So what would an Irish girl be named these days? Shaniqua?!?

It could happen.

So how is schooling over in Europe? Is it like over here in the U.S. or different...I realy need to do some traveling.

I could tell you roughly the way the German school system is set up.

Ah...I'll wait for ankhwatcher.

Its okay, kind of underfunded. Your going to have to ask more specific questions to get more specific answers.

Can you tell me what isn't underfunded?

Wait. Stadiums. Brand-new grade-school stadiums. That's where the money for the techs goes...

Okay, what is the eating situations like? Do you have cafeterias or restaurants off campus. Housing same thing? Where is your university? etc...just a general discription. What is the college focus on technology or liberal arts or are they seperated by colleges? Maybe it is the same as over here...I'm just wondering.

Well it depends where you go, the two main Dublin Colleges are UCD and Trinity.
University College Dublin has a large campus and covers most course available at third level. It has a great number of arts courses and is now considered to have its own accent. UCD has different cafeteria for each of its faculties and a number of student bars/coffee shops.
Trinity College Dublin has a smaller campus (as it is in the centre of Dublin) and also covers the majority of courses available at third level, it however has a greater focus on engineering degrees then UCD.
I've never spent any time around Trinity (they didn't have an open day) but I think they have a large restaurant/bar/coffee shop thing on campus (when I walk through Trinity to get to the train I often see many students hanging around this place).
I go to DIT or Dublin Institute of Technology. We have more students than any other college in Ireland.
We have very nearly the full range of courses available, DIT however focus' more on booster courses than any other college, the course I'm in is one, for engineers but we also have them for computer technicians, nurses and a whole range of other subjects. We also do a large number of night courses for people who are getting a degree in their spare time.

DIT is not one campus, it is instead a number of small campuses scattered throughout Dublin. Originally all of the DIT campuses were independent colleges, but it was decided they would function more efficiently as one large college with a number of separate faculties.
As a result of this separation each faculty has its own cafeteria
Bolton Street (where I am) is the Faculty of Engineering. We have Mechanics, Engineers, Computer Technicians and Architects.
Kevin Street is the faculty of Science and Linguistics. They have train Scientists, Electricians, Computer engineers, Chefs and Translators.
Angier Street is the Faculty of Business. They have business and business related courses.
Mountjoy Square, Portland Row, Cathal Brugha Street, Temple Bar, Chatam Row, Rathmines Road, Pembroke Street and Grangegorman home the rest of the DIT courses or in some case are host to departments that provide support to others and have no courses of their own.
DIT believes that “The City is (their) Campus” and so has a nearly infinite number of student bars, coffee shops and restaurants.

Back on topic, how many posts can one user have? Avatara has hit 500 and is climbing.

As many as they need.

Facinating, what type of Engineering are you in? Your college is strikingly similar to mine. It is very weird. I'm in MET or Mechanical Engineering Technologies, but I'm thinking of triple majoring in MET, Manufacturing Engineering Technologies, and Mathematics.

I'm in Preliminary Engineering. A one year course for people who didn't get the points (or the C3 in Higher Level Maths) needed to get into DIT's engineering courses.

Deja vu?

If you're experiencing deja vu, a probable cause could be glitches in older versions of the matrix. Please upgrade to the latest version of software available to see if this problem persists.

Oh. Or go download a nightly build and see if the bug is fixed there.

At least they're diplomatic, which is far more than can be said for the Firefox team.
