The topics look really good.

I'm thinking about flying up with a friend and then going out on the Saturday night for my 1-8th.

Anyone else going? I would like to hear Germaine Greer in person, and her topic sounds somewhat dangerous.

No thanks to germaine greer.
But Christopher Hitchens is speaking (I think)...and he's one of the best ad lib debators
I'd go if it was melbourne

Sydney Opera House - FESTIVAL OF DANGEROUS IDEAS

The Festival's Opening Address is by international journalist Christopher Hitchens, in conversation with Tony Jones on the topic 'Religion Poisons Everything'. Taking an opposing stance on Sunday is Catholic Archbishop Cardinal George Pell, who argues 'Without God We Are Nothing' and Keysar Trad the convicted monkey terrorist who argues that 'Polygamy, child marriages and Other Islamic Values are Good for Australia'.

SOUNDS INTERESTING.

Yea Hitchens verbally violates those islamic/catholic apologists, it's quite a one sided dismantiling, and all of it has been said before, but it's still very entertaining

I also like cos it's not just left wing indulgences, but incorporates lots of views. (I'll only go to the ones I agree with though haha roflz)

I also want to try and pick up with Tony Jones.

Lol. What's wrong with left-wing indulgences? :p Nah, I think it's good that it includes lots of perspectives. Where is it?

Haha, it says audience participation from what I understand. You're a perfect candidate ;).

I *hope* I can make it. It's just, the HSC has got me on a leash.

ALRIGHT U DUMB IDIOT, freaken where da HELL did u get the child marriages?, minimum marriage age is about 18 yrs nowadays, polygamous is not accpted by islam unles both parties agree n must treat both parties da same. actually ur stupid values of going to pubs n clubs n sleeping wif complete strangers and yet expect a forgivess from ur partners(which is believe is a form of polygamous) are more monkey like behaiours 2 me. n walking around beaches nakid seem more unaccaptable and yet again monkey like 2 me. polygamous is something cultral not freaken religon stupid!!!!
