If you want excitement you can always go watch Today Tonight.

Why ":/"? I have an automatically renewed annual subscription. I read it every morning over breakfast and listen to the audio tracks whilst I'm at the gym (because I'm heaps cool bro). Multitasking. Physical and intellectual exercise at the same time.

Affirmative action welfare is a pretty stupid idea though. Trying to make up for past wrongs against a segment of society by throwing welfare dollars at them just end ups forcing them to declare their own self-imposed segregation from the rest of society in order to try and get those dollars...

No. Since Draghi announced that he would do whatever it takes to save the euro, all those investors who flooded out of Greek bonds have realised that the default-level yields they were demanding were a bit premature. Turns out Greece hasn't defaulted yet.

Crysis. It's a bit weird.

22. 90% of that has been saved within the last 18 months though. It's not hard.

Here's a simpler idea to eliminate wasteful spending by the government: just eliminate wasteful spending by the government.

Hahaha what a shit idea. There's a reason why da gubbermen takes your money under threat of imprisonment and violence; it's so that it can spend it on shit which wouldn't get done without it. There are various economic concepts related to this, but the ones you should be researching are...

About 20k in various savings accounts. Going to move a quarter of it into an index fund soon.

RBA is only open to postgrad students (Honors or above). Just a bachelors won't get you far in economics.

Allahuakbar.

Yeah I kept thinking "yeah, I'm totally strong-willed enough to try it just once, walk away and be totally fine. I could do that." Then I was like, wait, I'm pretty sure that's what all the actual addicts thought too.

Just had a banana cocktail. Gin, rum and banana vok. Cocktails are gross. Went straight back to my beer and French champagne.

Gave up on Trainspotting. That shit was too difficult to read. Plus, I was disturbed by my reaction to how good they were making heroin sound. Now reading Buffett: The Biography by Lowenstein. Much less illicit drugs involved.

I got in with a UAI of 93.50.

The job market for accounting is pretty wide. There are high-grade and low-grade accounting jobs. If you do the courses for the CA or CFA then you will be able to access the higher end of the accounting market. Just an accounting major will probably only get you into the lower level accounting...

I'm not saying he should argue with what they're saying I'm saying he should argue (using biblical quotes) that it is their responsibility to love and support him, regardless of what he does. When they say homosexuality is wrong and non-believers shall burn, he should say that they are supposed...

I think it would. Challenge their sense of self. They no doubt view themselves as good Christians. If you point out that their reaction is decidedly un-Christian then they may moderate and change their views to avoid the internal contradiction. Or they will respond with rage and anger at an...

Figured it's probably more constructive for him to turn the argument around on the parents and talk to them about how they are betraying their own (selective) beliefs by being intolerant, rather than him just telling them that their religion is stupid (even though it is).

This is their theological basis for hating gays: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/gay/long.htm And for being intolerant towards others (including athiests): http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/int/long.html Learn both lists well. Especially the homosexuality one. But here's a list of nice...
