Lxxx Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Being 'manx' is just an accident of birth. Not being bright enough to get a job on your own island of birth isn't. If the island is to survive it needs intelligent, educated entrepreneurs here to push the island forward, regardless of their accident of birthplace.The Manx are as intelligent and savvy as any other race - it's just that our government has failed to invest in training our young people to internationally recognised qualifications except in the limited range of courses that the IOM College offers. Most of the most popular courses are over subscribed and prospective students have no other college or training provider to fall back on for their plan B or C as they do in the UK. Your post is actually extremely insulting to us Manx!No it's not. This is the exact point I was making. Of course Manx people aren't born any differently from anyone else!The issue is the island and it's brain dead leaders have mis-managed billions of pounds over decades when it had the opportunity to invest in it's future and create a unique niche to future-proof against the exact things we are seeing. The Manx people have been sold down the river by the short-sightedness of it's blinkered politicians and their mates in the civil service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmanx Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 So to sum up a pretty shallow thread...Manx good...everyone else bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notwell Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 The problem with that is that people like me are encouraging their degree and masters degree educated children to think bigger than the Isle of Man because I don't want them burdened with the criminal financial issues set to face the next generation. It's quite sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
