    Does God exist?

    No, it is a silly argument. Firstly, to go from "darkness is the absence of light" and "cold is the absence of heat" to "God is the opposite of evil" is obviously deductively invalid. The conclusion does not flow from those premises. Additionally, to say "God is the opposite of evil" is a...

    Muslim People in Australia

    That can happen when you get people doing four units of maths, chemistry, physics, economics, etc. They can then get away with doing standard English and still receive a decent UAI.

    Muslim People in Australia

    Can someone please restate the point being argued? Defining the problem goes a long way to advancing discussion and it looks like the thread has taken an unnecessary tangent into everyone’s intellectual capacities.

    Socratic teaching method?

    Re: socratic teaching method They've sort of had it but they previously had a lecture/tutorial system. All we have are "tutorials". Manly, no-one could hate you even if they wanted to, you're too nice

    Socratic teaching method?

    Re: socratic teaching method We are expected to have gone through the readings and taken notes prior to class. At UNSW law, class is meant to be a clarification, testing and polishing of the knowledge acquired through our reading. Most of the things we learn in the textbook are quite basic...

    Career Advice - Failed subject, should I continue law?

    Re: Failed Unit in Law On a superficial level negligence is easy, but it is not so straightforward when you get down to the real gritty stuff. However, in comparison with say, property law, it is a much more straightforward and readily understandable subject. Most students find it an...

    Socratic teaching method?

    Re: socratic teaching method From my experience, the Socratic teaching method works well in UNSW law classes. It is enforced through class participation requirements. If you don't participate, you risk jeopardising up to 20% of your final mark. When students do not contribute, the teacher...

    Legal Advice - Inheritance situation

    Re: Help! - The kind of situation you always fear when someone dies.... She gave it on trust to him, for the beneficiaries under the will? If so, the problem is proving that it was not a gift to him, rather that it was on trust?

    Use of the word 'racism'

    I accept that different races are biologically different. However, the reason I object to that particular claim is that (keeping in mind no evidence has been presented to support it) believing it makes it extremely easy to dismiss any legitimate concerns about Aboriginal health.

    Use of the word 'racism'

    No they do not. And if you actually research the views of modern Aboriginal activists you will see that they are against heavy welfare and spoon-feeding and are promoting simply the removal of barriers so that oppportunities may be taken, rather than given to them. No, that is your culture. Many...

    Aus Open

    Great match, I was somewhat worried at the start but knew Roger would pull through. Touching moments at the end, seeing the human side heh. It was good to see how much the win and moreover the historical achievement meant to him. I laughed when he half-whimpered "thanks for the trOPHey" as...
