    Is this true?

    It's a remote possibility that can arise if the file that's being shared contain nasties. You will not get instantly banned but you can get a written warning through your ISP. (This has never happened to me btw.)

    The Coalition in peril? Howard to be dumped?

    A rather tasteless post one must say. You don't have to be on the same side of politics as Howard to admire his tenacity and cunning.

    Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

    There were quite a few legal references like 'res ipsa loquitur' in this instalment. Aside from that it was truly incoherent and far too long.

    Commerce, Business, Economics, or Finance?!

    Commerce/economics/finance...it's all the same anyhow. Just pick one randomly.

    PM to Seize Uni Control from State Governments

    Well obviously if you are an evil capitalist right winger you don't care about the welfare of others, and that's fair enough. Consider this fact though: there are some things that individuals cannot choose - they can't choose where they're born - whether it's the first world or the third world...

    PM to Seize Uni Control from State Governments

    The reason why Liberals have jumped on the tertiary education bandwagon is because it is a major priority of the electorate - even among the so-called 'average joe's. You are confusing the individual positive with the communal normative. Individuals acknowledge that they are driven by self...

    PM to Seize Uni Control from State Governments

    So tell me, what does the 'average joe' want and how is it good for the country?

    PM to Seize Uni Control from State Governments

    I don't think it's about picking, but about the priority we as a society place on tertiary education. It's a bit perplexing that you attributed those goals to 'the left'. Surely 'the right' would not object to any of those goals either.

    Should Australia Develop Nuclear Weapons

    We wouldn't need to invest as much on conventional weapons because nuclear weapons serve as a sufficient deterrent. Also, we wouldn't need to send as many troops to places like Iraq to aid U.S. military campaigns and we would have sufficient defensive capabilities to back out of ANZUS. So...

    Does God exist?

    If god does exist then who created god? If god doesn't need a creator then why does the world? What would god say? No. Because god hates us?

    It doesn't absolutely benefit the poor. The fact that there are more places for a degree doesn't increase the demand in the employment market for that degree. In the end, those with means are given more opportunities than those with merit. It is also inefficient and unfair because increased...

    PM to Seize Uni Control from State Governments

    If you really wanted to do law and obtained a low uai there are still options available like UWS. There, if you work hard and score outstanding marks you can still land a position in a top firm. In addition, there are also graduate places available at UNSW Law. Here, we are talking about a...

    PM to Seize Uni Control from State Governments

    There seems to be a sentiment that DFEE somehow allows those who badly want to enter a course or, due to 'unforeseen circumstances' fails to attain a CSP place. However, those who just missed out could simply work hard and transfer into the course of their choice. Of course, one feels sympathy...

    Today's Lesson

    I think you should tell your dad that you know about what happened. This would result in the best outcome because 1) it gets the thing off your chest 2) your dad might be a bit worried about what you know - he deserves to be stressed 3) he might be encouraged to confess before you tell your...

    Describe your dream job/career?

    Ideally I'd like to be some sort of economist, artist and philosopher at the same time.

    KKK offshoot targets Australia

    I think the fact that some of the KKK's policies are 'okay' is a bit misleading. It doesn't mean that we can tolerate the KKK. Any group with their general ideology, if left alone and permitted to 'recruit', will not only commit crime but do so with undesirable racial undertones that can...
