Ok, then why does it say that it cannot accomdate students then? mmm ....???!!!

1. Why are we discouraged?
2. Not ALL students are up for freebies. I wouldn't mind paying �20 for a
ticket to go and see it. I'm not expecting any "special" treatment and I'll
seriously doubt that any other students would think the same. I simply want the
opportunity to go. I, to be honest, am expecting to be treated like dirt,
because I know that there are people like yourself which think students are a
waste of space. And I'm willing to put up with that for an experience to see
what the hype about Linux is all about.

Really, now? Do you really think so?

And if they find out, they won't chuck us out at all?

Like I said, I don't think students are special cases. In fact, I'm sick and
tired of people who say we think we are "special". Cos we're not. And we
certainly don't think we are. I don't think I'm more "special" than any of my
other friends who did not go to university or even if they are on the dole.
All I'm saying is, if we don't get the chance to go then we are being
typecast before you "try us out". There's a word for that. It's stereotyping.
And as soon as society get rid of people who stereotype other people, the
better.
