It doesn't matter what one believes because everyone is the "centre of the universe" as their life experience is mostly defined by their perception of the world. While I'm an atheist, I don't think it's necessary to "enlighten" others with the "truth" as truth is a pretty overrated notion IMO -...

It doesn't make a difference since there is only "here on earth" anyway, no matter what religion you choose to believe ;)

Is terrorism really that much of a threat? I really don't feel that it's a significant threat in terms of the amount of people it kills - at least in the "western world" so to speak, maybe not in palistine or any of the real "hot spots". The success of terrorism is proportional to the amount of...

Hmm I hate these political compasses.. but anyway.. here's me Your political compass Economic Left/Right: -7.13 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41

Lol.. you mean the UAI has other uses?

Yeah I'm gonna miss all of them. I had great teachers.

What is so bad about the natural evolution of the language anyway? Not referring to that example in particular - but you will notice that the English language is a mesh-mash of different European languages and thus a bastardisation in the first place. Also, you will find significant difference...

That structure is probably missing an important thing you need to talk about - namely the causes of income/wealth inequality (which invariably shape the trends). Under that you would talk about structural change etc and Government policy - including changes to welfare, LMR, and just the general...

The only way to get internal marks changed is to whinge to a more "senior" teacher (with whom you've fostered a good relationship). Only then is there a chance that your mark will be reconsidered. Pretty much there's likely to be some politics involved, so it's BS.

Yeah internal marking is pretty bullshit. It's annoying when you let another teacher mark the same essay and realise just how much they fucked up the marking. =/ Oh well.. hope that didn't badly affect your uai or something.

Only memorise word for word if you're crap at writing. It should come out much better if it's spontaneous.

At least he's being honest. Secretly, we all feel that we are in fact better than everyone else. :D

hmm wow.. severe misinterpretation there :p Book writing as in the book that speer wrote - his career as an author :)

I don't think it matters, pretty sure the book-writing etc isn't gonna lose or earn marks for you.

I'v been using bulmer and dixon mainly. Riley is so tedious to read IMO.

I kinda said that it was well known that Sassoon was anti-war by 1917, so he wasn't a particularly objective source for that reason.

I think this is correct. The top response will invariably be well supported by historiography. But I think it's kinda difficult to do well for every section anyway, if you do a decent job (16-17ish in national studies, 25-27ish in pacific) and don't screw up elsewhere, you can still get close to...

No they don't, I used like 3 of those in the Modern exam.

Yeah they both seemed analysis questions to me, which is favourable for more capable students. Those who visit the forums tend to be near the front of the bell-curve.

ditto. I think i got owned in that :(
