    Fantastic Mr. Fox

    I agree. I haven't seen the film yet, but the TV advertisement doesn't seem to do the film justice at all.

    Is it possible for somebody with a really low IQ like 110, to achieve a 99+ atar?

    I guess that does make sense. That being said, most of the questions were actually alright. Just when they asked one involving Canadian provinces and another about sopranos and baritones I got a bit annoyed, haha. :) It was an interesting link regardless, thanks for posting. Definitely better...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I don't see how my previous post was emo. And resorting to ad hominem attacks doesn't really achieve anything. If you don't want to discuss issues that you've brought up and made sweeping generalisations about, why are you even here?

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I guess you could say I'm an atheist existentialist. I lack belief in a deity or a higher power, and I feel that one finds meaning/purpose in life not from a supernatural deity creating that meaning/purpose for us, but from our life experiences and our own perspective of life developing that...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I believe in many things beyond myself, I just lack belief in one less diety than you do. You're atheist-esque towards all other deities and gods of other religions, even if you aren't aware of it. We both lack belief in Zeus, etc. Why is it necessary to believe in some supernatural power(s) in...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Lacking belief in a particular deity that is characterised in an unverified book hardly means I deny the existence of anything beyond myself. And judging from Bible, it's clear that the Abrahamic God is much closer to being malevolent, rather than benevolent. No. It's not logical to assume my...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Why do you believe that atheists are individuals who think existence is entirely about them? What would give you that impression, and why would come to such a generalised conclusion? Atheists are just as capable as loving others and being compassionate as anyone else - regardless of religious...

    To do BLaw/BMedia at UNSW or BA Comm at UTS?

    Nowhere in your post have you mentioned why you specifically want to do law. Lots of other double degrees are equally as challenging. And law isn't a course you superficially want to choose, just because it looks or sounds "cool". Unless you had a prior interest in law, I wouldn't choose UNSW...

    Is it possible for somebody with a really low IQ like 110, to achieve a 99+ atar?

    I just did the IQ test then and I didn't really appreciate the format or the type of questions asked. Many of the questions required prerequisite knowledge in particular fields, which some people might be more familiar with than others, regardless of intellectual capability (e.g. people with...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I disagree. Yes, closeted homosexuals who are single and never going to search for a heterosexual partner anyway might be more encouraged to seek a same-sex partner in the more open and socially-accepting environment. However, that in itself does not equate to less children being born, seeing...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Greater acceptance of homosexuality in society currently has no correlation to declines in population growth. And neither does greater occurrence of same-sex marriages/unions correlate with less "healthy" families, whatever you meant by that. If you have any empirical evidence or reasonable...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    All those arguments are biased, subjective and not based in actual reality. And even if all those impacts do occur with the advent of legally recognised same-sex marriages/unions, why are they considered negative? The only thing negative is the wording of each point. Saying something is "evil"...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Both those issues have nothing to do with same-sex marriages/unions. Having legally recognised same-sex marriages/unions does not negatively impact upon the public or the welfare of children.

    Maybe not genetically, but definitely physiologically and in terms of brain structure.

    No that much harder. My school ranked 169th in 2009, yet many people were still able to achieve over 95.

    Share your 2009 ATAR here

    I think they changed the cohort we were measured against when they changed the UAI to the ATAR (we were ranked against our year 7 cohort, rather than our year 10 cohort like previous years). Something like that could have influenced the number of people obtaining ATARs over 90. And yes, that...

    UTS or UNSW?

    UTS for journalism, creative arts and a few other courses. But UNSW overall for the quality of the faculties, the campus and the postgraduate opportunities.
