What was the website that "The Update" mentioned? (1 Viewer)

And may I add, Phanatical, that "The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary" spells it "Organize" and "Organization". Oxford is an English University, you know?

 

[gerhard]

you guys hijacked a boring thread and made it even worse

 

[fleepbasding]

Don't you love me, baby ?

I do, but ISA has done little to impress me.

 

[ujuphleg]

I do, but ISA has done little to impress me.

I concur. I don't see how Phanatical can recruit if the details are vague and unconvincing - and I'm not saying you have to be flashy. Its just that, thus far, all your arguments don't seem to have much substance.

And your continual reference to Falun Gong as a terrorist organisation troubles me greatly.

 

[Phanatical]

ISA is still in its early stages. We're developing infrastructure and programs, before we can actively recruit.

And Falun Gong is a terrorist organisation.

 

[fleepbasding]

And Falun Gong is a terrorist organisation.

wtf, qualify that please.

EDIT: Actually, don't bother. Regardless of your extreme claims, I don't think funds should be going to groups with little foot-hold in the university or that don't benifit many students (assuming SRC is funding falun gong).

 

[Phanatical]

The SRC not only supports Falun Gong financially, it also holds events promoting the cult.

The website http://www.falungonginfo.org/ clarifies.

 

[ElGronko]

Members of Socialist Alternative and Labor Left, who are affiliated to and operate under the aegis of the SRC.

This is totally false. The way you have worded it makes it sound like the SRC planned and funded some attack on you (which you probably deserved anyway).

Yeah, there are some Labor Left students on the SRC and very few SA students, that doesn't mean the SRC is directly responsible for all of their actions, especially if they were not part of the SRC themselves (which it seems they weren't as you have tried to lightly step around - we see through it).

Maybe you should bill the Labor party? They seem to be a more direct affiliate. the people went under the name 'Labor' didn't they? So shouldn't it the Labor party be held responsible? Considering they did not go by the name "SRC" at all...

I'm sure members of LL and SA have broken the law at some stage also. One of its 400 add members may have got a speeding fine, should the SRC be held accountable for this also?

Your argument is weak at the best of times. The ISA have exposed themselves for the liars and fools that they are.

 

[Phanatical]

Their actions were committed in the name of the SRC, under the direction of those on the SRC Executive. Most of these attacks occured by people in SRC-issued uniforms, and just like ISA would be responsible for the actions (criminal or otherwise) of somebody who we had issued an ISA uniform, the SRC must take responsibility for those who wear the SRC logo while beating the crap out of students.

The people who have joined the Independent Students' Association are some of the most morally sound people I have ever met. The fools and liars are the ones who defend the SRC and its violence, even though they have no understanding of what the SRC actually does. Egronk, for example, has been a USYD student for what, four weeks? Four weeks, and he's qualified to slander the good name of the ISA and its members?

Whatever... all you do is exaggerate.... Nobody beat you to a bloody pulp, they pushed you around a bit. I'm not saying that isn't serious but you make it sound like they kneecapped you and then left a horse's head in your bed.

 

[Phanatical]

In just one incident, they soaked my violin in water and left me with a nasty injury in my left leg (i Do have medical records confirming all this). I didn't spend the election limping for no reason. In another, the same people threatened Mark Oliveiro, former President of the Sydney Eclectic Composers Society, and Benedict Carey, Artistic Director of the eclectic:bit program, handling Conservatorium-owned and Society-owned equipment and threatening to smash it if they did not leave the campus. They had, in fact, removed several pieces of expensive equipment from the trolleys, and knocked them to the ground - and the damage could have been even worse if Mark wasn't far more sensible than I, and immediately backed off without saying a word to them.

 

[what971]

I just want my $302 back

Bloody Union....

 

[Phanatical]

Hear Hear.

 

[gerhard]

how much were the union fees this year? i was overseas so i had to get my dad to pay, but he said it was only like 250 dollars or something. I dont know if he's just being generous and paying for some of it, because it seems much cheaper than usual.

 

[withoutaface]

$500

 

[what971]

^ $604 for 1st years.

 

[ElGronko]

That's not union fee's, that is for all 3.

Presumably by uniform you mean T shirt. The T shirts the SRC give out for free. So anyone has access to them.

Milo gave me a free Milo T shirt, so if I beat someone up should Milo be held responsible?

How about Ralph Lauren because right now I am wearing a RL 'Uniform'.

And what is the actual medical reason for this 'limp'?

What exactly is wrong with you?

A shame it was for the election, because having a limp that was 'caused by the SRC' wouldn't have helped your campaign at all would it?

Hahaha.. I can guarantee that the SRC Executive did not order a hit on Quah.
