    Official Asian Cup 2007 Thread

    Yeah but it was a quality match, plenty of great shots on goal. I think they are tougher opponents than we first thought. But a draw is a good result for us.

    Is Australia a secular state?

    The dominant element of those systems was not leftism/secularism per se, but absolute and unquestioning idealism and belief, affirmed by propaganda but affirmable because of human nature, such as absolute belief in communism, absolute belief in the party and absolute belief in the superiority of...

    Adding religion to politics is it a good thing or is it a bad thing?

    Agreed. 'The West' has not always been dominant. It only seems so because 'The West' is currently dominant and the current versions of historical discourse therefore are mainly written with an emphasis on the events of 'The West'. There have also been phases when Arabic and Eastern civilizations...

    Is Australia a secular state?

    I think these are very valid arguments, but they don't give the whole picture. Possibly, religion is a remedy for the shortcomings of mankind - specifically mankind's selfishness and propensity to destroy his society in absence of any indoctrinated values. Ironically mankind needs to be...

    Is Australia a secular state?

    I don't think we can draw the conclusion that because religion is so prominent, it is a positive influence. Sure, most people are religious, but most people are also stupid, simple-minded and have bad taste as well - you can't mix the positive with the normative. Rather, we need to look at...

    Woman has political views

    Every party does that though. Libs - business, Labor - workers, Greens - greenies, etc. Every party attempts to better the relative economic, social and political position of the specific group they represent, at the expense of worsening the position of other groups. If women were smart they...

    Is Australia a secular state?

    Actually church attendance and religion in general is definately 'in'. Anyone that attends university, for example, can observe the trend on their campus. Yes it's true that progress of 'civilization' over the long run is causally connected to its secularisation. That is the worrying thing -...

    I'm not surprised that the citizenship test contains thinly veiled Christian propaganda.

    Can you just do straight law?
