    Bush or Kerry?

    for the sake of this arguement, I'm going to take you seriously. social policy? well, the pledges he made in his nomination acceptance speech seem far more like the 'social policy' of the ALP: Kerry: We believe in the family value of caring for our children and protecting the...

    because no ruse students have homes, obviously. they camp in the school fields between the piles of cowshit and cook their 'home-made pillz' to enhance the effects of the radiation for their hosted aliens.

    its official...best school = james ruse, worst = Joeys and NSGH as voted by you!

    is nickyazn a fake? I'm having trouble believing someone is so...ah, we'll say stubborn. obviously it knows nothing about what Ruse is like.

    hardly any come from selective schools? what? ok, lets just ignore all the prime ministers who are ex-selective schools, how many of our judges and politicians have come from Fort Street? lets ignore the tv personalities and actors, I mean, Nicole Kidman was from Sydney Girls High, Katrina...

    <smirk> I do my best... NIGHT RAY --Celan Most brightly of all burned the hair of my evening loved one: to her I send the coffin of lightest wood. Waves billow round it as round the bed of our dream in Rome; it wears a white wig as I do and speaks hoarsely: it talks as I do when I...

    Ruse

    there doesn't seem to be any problem with not wanting to do maths for the HSC in ruse, as picaresque said there are people in our grade not doing it and they haven't received any suggestions to leave. only one person has left my grade - and by his own admission he didn't do any work [ie, no...

    Poetry.

    unsurprising. Celan would tempt me into learning German, but first priority is Spanish for the writing of Arturo Perez-Reverte, my love my literary love, my future husband. ;) &that Putin description was more to scare the girl, but you must admit he's the most intriguing leader around...
