    What's your sexuality.

    I too am ghey. Never been attracted to girls at any point in my life in the slightest, I mean they're plenty of really pretty ones and all, but for some reason all this doesn't translate to them floating my boat. Suprised at how large a proportion of people identify themselves as gay or bi on...

    Worst Cars: Chrysler PT Cruiser (HATE them, and so ugly and tacky) Dodge Caliber Hummer H3 (soooo stupid, who would buy this unless you travel through trecharous, rocky landscapes on your daily commute??) Falcon/Commo utes with sportkit, esp FPV/HSV (sporty utes look so stupid and redneck, and...

    Switzerland ban Mosque Minarets

    Wow, intelligent conversation going on here.... This ban is so stupid, and shows how socially conservative and insular Switzerland really is. This sort of bullcrap provokes more unrest, increases marginalisation, and so more Muslims fall for extremist ideologies and the cycle becomes...

    lol After today's events, should the Liberal Party be renamed?

    They always should have had a different name. Like it or not, in other countries the word 'Liberal' and 'Liberal Party' denotes left-wing politics of progressive social policies and big government, interventionalist economics. In other words the exact opposite of our Liberal Party

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Lol Iron, can you think for yourself? Your a walking and talking Catholic Church Catechism! I have noticed all your comments, on this issue and others, match remarkably precisely the rhetoric it espouses. Marriage is a contractual agreement between two parties expressing commitment to one...

    Ranks get released at 5pm today whos excited? :D

    Hi. At the graduation celebration, I received a certificate that said I came 3rd in English, while the BOS said I came 4th. Is there a logical explanation for this small discrepency or should I ring BOS/school? I know its not a massive difference, but a difference of 0.05 ATAR could decide what...

    C'mon, you've worked up so hard up until this point! Believe me, your holidays will be much more rewarding if you pwn your very last exam! Work hard for this last day, do all you can as efficiently as possible, get a good nights sleep and wake up ready to own that exam! Good luck!

    West Germany v East Germany

    Its all about balance people! Pure capitalism doesn't work, and pure socialism (aka communism) doesn't work! There's got to be a balance. If you go too far to the economic right, you get countries like the USA which have extremely serious economic and social issues (NOT referring to financial...

    Is tutoring the secret to success HSC?

    Tutors are good for a subjects that require a lot of explanation rather than self study, especially if you suck at it(for me, Adv. Math). I saw a tutor for Math, helped a bit, but not enough. It was my fault though, I didn't use the tutor to full advantage. I dropped it in the end.

    Parents reaction to you not making it?

    ^^^^^^^ This article is absolutely revolting. I can't believe there are parents that think their success in raising their child, and their child's VALUE as a person, is measured by their ATAR? WTF. What about morals? Etiquette? Approach to family/friends? I'd consider a usyd PhD business...

    Why do people drink, smoke do drugs?

    IMO drinking is overrated. I don't have anything really against it I guess, but I don't understand why people like to get so drunk that they vomit and don't know what the fuck is going on. Seems like an act of self-destruction, almost self hate to me. Maybe I say this b/c i've never gotten to...

    Should the insane be executed

    The concept of execution is so primitive and repulsive. NOBODY should be executed. Although I agree with having to pay the price for a crime you commit, the MAIN focus of society should be taking PREVENTATIVE measures, and when that fails and such crimes are committed, REHABILITATING the...

    Why would one do general math?

    I agree with others. Some people aren't great at math, but still want to maintain some mathematical challenge/stimulation. I don't think its good to sever ties with all math completely, some degree of numeracy is imporant in everyday life. Numbers don't lie, I think General Math is 2nd or 3rd...

    N Award

    I don't understand, you've listed 10 units there that are not accounting, and you say that if you get N award for accounting you don't have 10 units? Anyway, if i'm just missing something, and what you say is right, I would explain to the teacher the complete misunderstanding that has occured...

    Are you looking forward to getting your HSC results?

    I did worse than I aimed at, i'm pretty sure. I do want to know though, simply so I can move on. In saying that: People shouldn't worry. If your the kind of person who's motivated and hard working, your bound to be sucessful anyway, whether your ATAR is 99 or 59! For now everyone should live in...

    Is school certificate really important

    First it's "oh the SC doesn't really matter, so I won't try" then its, "oh, its only prelim, doesn't matter, so won't try" then you get to the hsc, and convince yourself, "oh, the hsc is overrated, it doesn't matter that much..." I think the SC is a good measure of 'where your at' after 11...

    Tired of School?

    The best thing for reducing stress in the HSC is consistency (as others have pointed out). PLEASE be consistent!! Keep on top of all your work! Don't avoid homework, don't start set tasks late, try to be revising through the whole year! Don't get distracted when your studying - cut out the...

    NO more english!!

    Aww, people are so slack to English. Believe it or not, it is a subject that you can 'really get into.' No other subjects encourage independant learning to such a degree. You yourself is the one that ends up analysing and gathering different perspectives on various texts, and putting your own...

    Future Plans: What ATAR/course/job are you aiming for?

    Aiming around 91 or so to get into Diagnostic Radiography @ usyd. Seems like a nice solid course, in an area i'm interested in with good career prospects. I like the idea of a career that directly helps people's wellbeing. Applied for a number of Medical Science courses for backups at uts and...

    When is your last exam, and what are doing right after it?

    Done as of today (well yesterday now its past midnight) =). Feels weird, school has been integral to what I do for 13 years ffs. Graduation and formal just didn't seem like the end of it. To me it didn't feel truly over till the last exam. Going to throw any reminants of notes, clean this dump...
