Ok, I am just going to come right out and say the obvious: spurious BOS trheads distract me from study. As well as books, food and small shiny objects. Anyone else got something that pulls you from your desk every time?

I can't believe you people. I honestly am having trouble figuring out if you are being sincere, or just making shit up to get me all indignant. Number one, we have MORE than enough money to fix our own problems - everyone knows people are only homeless in Australia because of social, not...

Not something to be proud of. Ah, and your well constructed, comprehensive argument supports this claim beautifully. Fuck me, are you kidding? There is just so much wrong with this statement that it makes my head spin. To begin with, I said to some extent, not save all people. Next, I...

Excuse me? Ex-scuuuuuse me? Do you have any sort of heart/brain? No, wait - you're right. Also: let's stop saving people who call 000 because they are about to be murdered. Heck, there'll always be someone killing someone - why bother? It's not like we are some kind of charity. Plus, 'it's not...

Yeah, I know. Sorry, I was going for a oversimplification to make the point that whatever problems they might have - and we might have - when they are over here is shit on what they deal with over there.

Yeah - is it just me, or is 'integrate' starting to mean the same as 'assimilate' to politicians? I mean, if they are here, and alive, it is better than being over there, and persecuted or worse. Who the fuck cares if they don't join Lions and don't speak English? Edit - missed the above post...

I agree with a lot a what you are said, or what it is you are really trying to say (I assume it generally boils down to "people that kill other people are bad") but you would be better off - fuck, the world would be better off - if you ditched the labels. We all know there are Muslims who kill...

OK, bizarre Nazi twist that this thread has take aside, I think it is weird to be proud of our history. History is just generally that -- weird. I mean: a) We can never know if what we are told is what happened; as anyone who does ancient/modern/extension history knows, a lot of what we hear is...

So far, the CSSA Trial Papers have all been soft. I am a little disappointed though, I was hoping they would be really hard to motivate me to do more practice for the HSC... The English exams have all just been essays, and the Economics paper was one of the easiest I've ever done. Urk. Modern...

i'd have to disagree. start of your independence? possibly - although i don't see how living at home and having to submit to the whims of your parents AND overzealous teachers in independence. start of your working life? if you are entering a career which requires you to work days, weeknights...

sorry if i'm breaking the thread of the conversation a little here, but for anyone else who is stressing out, and who doesn't have a specific goal (as in, they are applying for university next year, and that is all they want to do), just don't. i think that almost all of the important...

I wish I had done Norwegian Language (are you surprised my school only offered it distance ed?) And I so wish I had never done mathematics at all. The BIGGEST waste of time. Should've kept music.

The age-old question, I think, needs to be asked again. I think in an era when communism as an ideal has been tainted by bad memories of Soviet Russia and other equally inept governments, people should have the presence of mind to realise that capitalism just plain isn't working as well as we...

Kim Beazley was a great man, and it's sad more people don't recognise it. I agree with Tully, he was definitely the most human politician we have had for a while; however, I think that we would be a better country if humanity DID cut it in Canberra. That said, Beazley would never win an...

For all of those people who think this isnt a discriminatory move, think about it: Say (blanket figure) 70 per cent of the adults of a community are christian - Hey have a vote, christianity wins out. - Christian minister influences children, other religions (including *gasp* atheism) have...

Thanks guys... gamecw, I'm pretty sure I can do at least 20% better in mathematics, and I decided to go that way... although I have 2 weeks of vacillation until it is finalised anyway :mad1: I don't even like maths anyway... humanities beat mathematical induction any day.

Ok, so I just got my preliminary results back for my 3 unit class. For those of you who have sane schools, let me explain how our school is doing math. Those students who are doing Extension 1 and Mathematics - there are about twelve of us - are lumped into the same class. This class then uses...

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? To clarify this point: this post started off being what is wrong with Australian politics in general, not what is good about the Labor party. I don't even really like Labor, and their flaws are clear and not small. The point...

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? <!!! Feel free to skip if you don't like long winded, semi-religious rants about everything that has and will be wrong with Australia. Sorry. First post, couldn't help myself. !!!> Honestly, I don't want to sound condescending...
