Aristotle once said, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." Maybe some people just need more education? Seriously though, I tend to have a positive view of humanity. Intelligent people will challenge their own beliefs when presented...

VB and football, my aren't you a productive one. So you are saying that everyone should try to adopt this "culture"? You really have no right to assert your very narrow visions onto others. How dare you tell people what attitudes they should adopt? The first and foremost defining element of...

Re: the word 'racism' Best post in this whole thread.

Yes you will be fine and that is perfectly manageable. The LAWS1052 Tutorial only goes for about 5 weeks and it is actually a separate research subject. It is very easy.

Ah yes, the stairs. At USYD you have it flat but walk for miles, at UNSW you have less to walk but you climb everywhere - even to go down! I like exercise but not at uni. I don't want to arrive at my lecturers exhausted and covered in sweat. Luckily by semester two this year we should...

Re: Failed Unit in Law Why not take the subject again? It's only torts - it's not required for any other subject.

Yes. (They probably won't finalise the room locations until later anyway, regardless of whether or not the law building is completed.)

Federer will own him. But I hope he doesn't do it too easily -- I want that edge-of-the-chair feeling as per the Haas match :)

All law classes for session 2 should be in the new law building, if they finish it on time. Looking forward to the new moot court! :)

Re: the word 'racism' Well, the debate about Islam is a separate debate. But I do have some concerns about it because it seems to have produced so many extremist followers in recent times. The groundwork or theory of the religion may be peaceful but you only have to look at some of the followers...

Re: the word 'racism' The parties are not you and a group of indigenous people though. The parties are the government and the indigenous people. It is true that the government will be paying compensation from taxes. But again the government is an entity that has existed over time - it has the...

Re: the word 'racism' Well, certainly. Freedom of religion is fine so long as one's religion doesn't preach killing people.

As I said, we already have raised the costs. The fees are substantially higher (more than double). How do we come to a suitable amount?

Re: the word 'racism' Do you want Australia to be a land of tolerance?

I understand your quibbles with overly PC people, but let's not write-off all the arguments as extremist. It is true that they were never a nation in the Eurocentric view of the term. But there is absolutely no denying that they were the inhabitants of the land - and they inhabited the land for...

Re: the word 'racism' I used the term in an ironic sense, so that Mathmite could see the folly of his ways. (He made accusations of people being unpatriotic and traitors to our country.) I'm with Oscar Wilde - patriotism is the virtue of the vicious. If that is what he said then that is even...

I take your point, but if you read the last part of what MC said, it may explain his position to you: :)

Re: the word 'racism' We never claimed that. Us: We must recognise the atrocities of the past. Mathmite: If you believe that then give your land back! Us: .... Furthermore, I would note that Australia is a land of freedom and tolerance. You are putting yourself out there as distinctly...

Are you aware of how much more they are already paying though? Local non-fee paying students pay less than $8,000 per year for a law degree at USYD. International students must pay $21,840 per year for the same degree. (Source)

To calculate your chances of transferring we need to know all your university subject results, so that we can know your grade point average. Or if you know how to calculate your GPA, then provide us with that. Your WAM is not the number that is taken into account. On the face of it, things...
