    Democracy - does it work?

    Re: MR EAZY's RANT Democracy? What is this democracy you speak of? I see no democracy around me! I only see an estranged, self-interested bunch who are chosen by us apathetic people every three years. Is this the democracy you mention?

    AFP wrong about Haneef

    'Tis a worrying trend of the compromising civil liberties for the 'greater good'. Thank god justice prevailed in the end. However, in saying that, I think the arrest was legitimate, just the process by which to establish his guilt was flawed and incompetent. Kevin Andrews is still trying to...

    The necessity to make notes?

    In my opinion, it's better to use your own judgement depending on time constraints, the difficulty and type of subject, etc. Note: This was for Yr 11 half-yearlies. Perhaps I'll write notes next year. Eg: Notes for maths is typically useless, maybe a formula sheet if you wanted to, but...

    Chaser Kicks Ass

    Yeah, the quality of the show has been degenerating as it goes on... Probably because there's less content to exploit.

    i did accelerated SDD last year, and i would advise u to pursue something easier. people tend to over-devote time to the SDD major project, and it's internally marked as well! do something you're comfortable with and isn't too complex. check with you're teacher of what's an acceptable standard...

    real or virtual?(physics)

    virtual images are created when your brain creates (and hence imagines an image) by tracing the apparent straight line of sight, even if its been reflected. real images are actually...there, and can be imposed on other objects such as a projector screen as it's not imagined

    Will Textiles bring my UAI down

    It is a pretty bad scaling subject. Even if you get a Band 6, it will probably scale down significantly. But since its only 2 units, it won't affect your UAI that much.

    Virginia Tech Shootings (Merged)

    Re: Virgina Tech Massacre Since when does eliminating one right affect the other ones? You're just setting up a 'straw man' argument.

    '07ers - What option topic are you doing?

    I did SDD last year, got 93 with Evolution of Prog Languages. It's rote learning, but textbooks and resources tend not to be so thorough with it. There's a lot of interpretation of applications involved.

    Modern or Software

    Hm... I accelerated SDD last year (it scales down as well), and I can tell you it's not very pretty. I think Modern would be more interesting - WW1, Vietnam and 19th-20th century European politics will get you worked up. You have to do a major project for SDD as well (although its internally...

    Yr 11 parabola tangent question...help

    Thanks. I kept trying to algebra bash it, and got really ugly equation, and even tried standard parabola form, but I forgot the substitution method! Bah! Btw, we just started to learn calculus. We're doing differentiation of logs and trig and crap.

    Indonesia seeks 20 yrs jail for Christian beheadings

    My favourite stupid righty excuse, its like picking on the left even if they have a perfectly valid point while trying to demonstrate hate at every chance they get, even if is irrelevant to the argument at hand. Neb raised a perfectly logical point. Why should citizens of a country be attacked...
