    Raped by her uncle, but can she have an abortion?

    no, in a situation like self-defence murder isn't wrong. and i suppose you could say this is a form of self-defence, since she could die if she has it... okay, i'll concede that you're right, but i can still see how people see it as a black and white issue. i agree with you. i'm not saying you...

    Raped by her uncle, but can she have an abortion?

    it can, though... if you believe that abortion is alright, it's because the foetus is not viable and hence not a human life yet. this means it is not murder, and should be seen as acceptable in all situations. if you believe abortion is wrong, it's on the basis that it's a human life and is...

    Rules for Customers

    yes, but there's a function to change the price that doesn't show up on the receipt. and as i said, i charge for what it says on the barcode, which is the advertised price, so no disagreements.

    Rules for Customers

    things scan up wrong quite regularly at my work. sometimes the price ends up lower than the sticker, sometimes higher... i sell it to them for whatever the barcode says, because they can't see what it has scanned up as and that way there's no disagreements.

    Should Maths be Compulsory?

    okay, that's true, i didn't think of it that way. i meant i was putting aside my opinions on the subject to get the least biased answer possible... but since you put it that way, then i suppose i'm not being objective. in that case, stike out the first sentence on points 1 and 4, but they still...

    Should Maths be Compulsory?

    1. you're posting with the assumption that i'm not being objective. you will notice that in none of my reasons did i say it shouldn't be compulsory because i didn't enjoy it. i said i didn't find it useful, and that many people will not find it useful, hence it shouldn't be compulsory. those who...

    Should Maths be Compulsory?

    what's the point of this thread? there's nothing stopping students who DO want to do maths, why should everyone else have to. in fact i see a number of reasons why it shouldn't be. 1. in the past couple of years i haven't used any maths except for simple percentages, addition, subtraction...

    What are you currently Reading?

    aside from king lear for school, i decided i'd read the chronicles of narnia... didn't read them when i was younger but i wanted to. i don't really like lewis' style of storytelling, or the obvious religious symbolism, but the whole fantasy element and the ideas in the novels are enough to...

    Describe your group and how the hsc has changed it.

    our year is pretty big, and out of all the groups ours is the largest... we've kind of become divided this year, but that's because of a person, not the HSC. the only thing the HSC had changed is, we work harder, turn up to school more and are more stressed. as for year groups as a whole...

    What are your cumulative/rankings so far and what is your aim by the end of the year?

    ancient history - 4th biology - 4th english - 4th business - 5th italian - 1st aims: ancient - hang onto fourth. while i'm only separated from first by a few marks, there's no way i'll be able to get to first. the three above me are all doing extension history and are way better than me...

    old teachers vs young teachers

    for one of my subjects the young teacher is infinitely better than the older teacher that the other class have. they're a month behind us because they keep covering stuff that is no longer in the syllabus, lol. she's so mean to our teacher, kids in our class asked if he would take the class if...

    13 units vs 11 units

    they count your BEST eight units then two of english, so in the above situation, yes, extension 1 would be counted. EDIT: Oops, without wings beat me to it. as for 13 units v 11 units. with 13 units, you're doing three units that ultimately aren't going to go toward your UAI (so even...
