ahhahaa... I'm not a big fan of the romantics tbh. Baroque period produced better music because they were limited by the instruments they had at the time (e.g. harpsichord, organ) the beauty had to be intrinsic in the score. Romantics relied mostly on the technological advances that allowed...

The best period is Baroque Best composer is Scarlatti

No offence AsyLum but your posts have been 90% personal attacks, 9% unsupported statements and 1% illogical arguments.

Hi KFunk, The Barbarian Invasions is a interesting movie (although slightly overrated imo), but a single fictional representation of the process of euthanasia in one case does not present any arguments for or against euthanasia. I'm sure that somewhere in the world, some group of people would...

Calm down peeps... The system is quite complicated to analyse, but if we assume that the only purpose of providing tertiary education is to cultivate a suitable pool of labour, we need to consider the following. 1) Most year 12 students don't know what they want to do with their life, and...

All the rankings suck because prestige can't be measured by adding up some numbers.

Institute... obviously. http://www.simonho.org/images/Australia/USyd_Institute.jpg

No no it's the other way around.

I've probably done this test a couple of times... Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -6.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.87

I actually agree with you. These day we're handing out too many tertiary degree and the mere attendance of tertiary institution is no longer regarded (as it was decades ago) as prestigious. We have to ask: which is the best? And you can't just name half of the universities in Sydney and say that...

I don't think the levels of driving ability in Asia are lower. The roads are more congested, the driving style is more aggressive, there's less space for vehicles to maneuvre. This makes the skill level required for driving in Asia even higher. So only taxi drivers in Sydney may survive on the...

More tests just means more confusion, less transparency and more pressure on y12 students. The beauty of the one entry mark system is in its universality and simplicity. Everyone knows what they need to achieve. The cut-offs may change from time to time but they aren't likely to change by much...

Hi there, >>>>>> A few random questions that hopefully someone can answer a.) I heard that USYD law lecture rooms are off campus, in the city; where are they? how far away from the USYD campus are they? and what are they like? The law school is off campus on philip st adjacent to...

I don't think we ought to overemphasise the so called balance between subjective and objective policies. This is because the public tends to subjectively share an overarching outcome with the experts - that being the improvement in our quality of living. Of course they also want to further the...

I don't think it's a question of whether the government or the opposition as a whole is correct. The question arises in considering the specific issues of policy raised as differentiating the government from the opposition. The actual system does not have to change. But it can be improved by a...

The majority believes that it is correct. But that makes democracy a stable system, not necessarily a great one that achieves the best outcomes (note distinction between opinion and outcome). However, the opinions of the majority can easily be swayed, especially if they are not well informed in...

You basically said that democracy is great because the majority decides. But we all know what democracy is, the question is why is the opinion of the majority the correct opinion? A minority is always more informed than the majority in most things. I'm not referring to an incumbent...

So you just said that democracy is great because it is democracy.

:( Now that whole generation have passed away.
