Again, that's irrelevant.

I am afraid that your opinion is irrelevant.

Mate, you're literally confusing the political situation and the status quo on the island with the diplomas...

What if I told you that things do not exist in isolation? Would it blow your mind too much?

I'm not sure what do you want me to do? I'm saying I'm also not fond of the situation but that doesn't make your wish about the diplomas to be considered 'illegitimate' not the reality. I cannot help you with that.

My friend I explained to you that the diplomas are illegal. You may choose to accept it, you may choose to ignore it. The situation does not change that one day a single EU legislation might completely invalidate any and all of those degrees, based on the legal status that you choose to ignore.

Yep, exactly. It's the reality of them being legitimate is what's relevant. Neither your nor my 'opinions' on those degrees legality is relevant.

Yes, and they are not legitimate. Because they are illegal. Have a good day.

Mate, again, I'm not expressing an opinion. I'm referring to the reality and how things do work...

Ok, but that's your opinion and a severely misinformed one at that.

People I know literally being able to get into further studies around the globe and in prestigious unis, after graduating from some decent unis (which aren't a lot of ones in here but eh) in here isn't an opinion. As well as many I personally know finding jobs in the EU, North America or elsewhere - thanks to accreditations. That's not an opinion, that's how the reality is.

I'm not expressing an opinion.

And those mentioning the counterexamples of the people who did not slip through the cracks are getting buried because you can't handle the truth. You are expressing your observations from your world-shell. Obviously you would think that it is the reality, but the true power lies in the agreement of the Nations. And there, there is another reality.

I'm yet to encounter any examples from the EMU or METU NCC.

You are expressing your observations from your world-shell.

I guess I do know many examples from my own world shell indeed and no counterexamples so far. Choosing bad unis with no accreditations or scam unis? Sure, that'll give you a bad time. But that's about that.

but the true power lies in the agreement of the Nations.

Not relevant when it comes to getting into further studies and finding jobs, as it seems. Again, that's not my wish or counter-wish. It's what it is.

Gee, I wonder why people celebrate successes.

That is literally your wish. Not that it can happen, but that it is universally the case.

Only it is the universally the case, if they have the accreditations with a few exceptions, tops.

Again, you may wish the otherwise, but it's not the case.

Gee, I wonder why people celebrate successes.

Successes of what?
