    Travel Concessions for International Students - Foolish Demands

    I don't see why they shouldn't get concessions. Rich aussie students are still eligible? International students are also limited to working 20 hours p week as far as I know, that knocks out part time work leaving only casual... so those that do have to support themselves (have worked with one)...

    Best Weights Program!

    Regarding muscle fibre recruitment: you don't train them seperately, per say. As needed (ie heavier weight) the body will additionally recruit other fibres. There aren't a specific set of fibres that handle your 70% max, it is a combination of type 1 and 2 fibres, etc. Your 1RM won't just use...

    Tax reform

    Hopefully related question: Have heard that the GST came in under the promise of abolishing other sales taxes etc and instead was just added to the pile. Is this true? As far as tax rates are concerned I consider 30% to be quite high, if I earn $150000 a year and don't see roughly 50k of...

    So you think you want a motorcycle?

    Not talking about now, for the upgrade I wouldn't get comprehensive on my current bike because it isn't worth all that much to begin with But comprehensive on a sports 600 is 3-4k, let alone a litre Considering just getting TPP + Fire and theft, but I don't think that helps with ratings at...

    Advice: 'At least its work..' vs 'Quit, quit now!'

    Call whoever you need to call and ask about the pay rate regarding your age If it's low, speak to your boss about it, they may just be taking you for a ride as you aren't speaking up. So speak up. If your employer gets shifty over the situation, and your parents don't mind helping you out till...

    Ownership of our bodies

    Agree on the ear piercing thing. As far as children making their own decisions, it is largely apparent when kids start developing their own ideas etc about certain things and I would place the responsibility on the parent to keep all this in mind when raising them and react accordingly...

    Why do Bad Boys Always get the girls?

    Perhaps it is because the 'bad boys' you refer to have a stone or two in that coin purse you call a sack, and don't get sweaty palms and heart palpitations every time a girl says hi etc Could be wrong

    So you think you want a motorcycle?

    Pricing for the BMW S1000R came out for those who have been following the bike at all 21,000ish with quickshift and slipper clutch as standard, 193hp stock as a rock, 1:1 hp to kg ratio with an aftermarket exhaust Came a little tbh

    Best Weights Program!

    Nice chuckle at the 'dangerous squats and deadlifts' part of the thread To those considering/starting on a program but wondering about changes, don't. Unless you have some significant time under the bar, either stick to the program or admit to yourself that you are not doing program x, but a...

    Ownership of our bodies

    Peoples bodies are of course their own and they thus have the choice of what to do when and where etc I have always been of the opinion that people can (generally) do what they want, as long as they don't negatively impact on others / the freedom of others to do the same. I don't mind people...
