    Does the Burka restrict the freedom of women

    The fallacy of your assertions amuses and frightens me in equal measure.

    Help with pompeii + herculaneum assi!

    Haha Thanks, apparently I've given you too much as well;)

    Who thinks they stuffed up already?

    You've got another 85% to go my friend. Focus on that, and take it one step at a time. I completely blew my first Ancient task, and ended up coming second by the smallest of margins.

    Anyone here play Team Fortress 2?

    I've put over 150 hours into this game, and yet there's a part of me that hates it. I've pretty much quit it now, I found that the game play was just too flipping fast for me, I didn't;t have the reflexes or the patience to play the classes properly.

    Skyrim

    A waste of time?? The side quests are the whole point of Elder Scrolls games. It's a whole flipping world out there. Seriously, the Daedric quests, Werewolf stuff and Dark Brotherhood quests are the best part of the whole thing!

    Stupidest Test

    Discuss it with the head teacher for that exam first of all (preferably send some form of communication this weekend) , and cite the notification of the exam that you were given, and then go from there. If they won't budge, head to your curriculum co-ordinator and discuss it with him.

    BOS sending out new HSC Pins

    Yes I got this letter already too. Why are they doing this? I simply cannot think of a feasible reason aside from the possibility that their security may have been compromised. Or perhaps they're just being cynical and figuring since half the state will have already lost/ forgotten their pin...

    Your Thoughts on the selected topic area

    Very original topic choice you have there, very relevant and should bring some interesting results. However, make sure you're not trying to bite off more than you can chew here - The internet is a seriously big place, so you make one to focus on perhaps just a few key historians or issues in...

    Stop teachers from finding out hsc marks

    Wow, now that is interesting stuff. Understandably i didn't read the whole the whole thing, but browsing through the Omsbudsman seems to suggest that Parsonage was in the right. For them to replicate that action after already having had suggestions made to the contrary, and with a claim of...

    ATAR estimate

    Open a new thread instead of derailing this one ;)

    Crime: The Skull beneath the skin. Help with context? Any help at all?

    Context is basically everything around the composer that might impact upon their writing. Whether that be social values, personal experiences, practices and occupations, the audience for which it is being produced, even forensic methods of that time period. Crime Writing has changed over time...

    First Assessment Task help

    If it's within the scope of the question try to link back as well as to how this particular extract is significant in highlighting the connections between the texts as a whole, perhaps as a closing statement. This shows your appreciation of the module as a whole.

    Speeches and Rhetorical Questions

    Yes, so long as you avoid patronising your audience in doing so. They are a great way to make them actively engage and follow with what you are saying, making it much more of a conversation rather than a dull monologue.

    terms you need to know for sparta

    Ah, the inner historian beckons, and I simply cannot resist it's call. Let me show you: Athena was the goddess or protector of towns and cities, and so naturally almost every city would have a dedication to here in one form or another. The temple of Athena Alea was built in Tegea for the...

    Help for Religious Festivals of Sparta.

    And Artemis beats me to it :p There's not much I can add to that awesome summary, apart from the fact that the Gymnopedia was dedicated to Apollo, and also according to Plutarch, to Athena. Also remember that this festival had some significant military connections as well - aside from the...

    Stop teachers from finding out hsc marks

    Dramatic. I admit my curiosity is piqued, as no doubt everyone else is, but I applaud your decision not to reveal anything to the vagaries of the internet What you need to ask yourself is what kind of contact you're going to have with your school over the next couple of years. If you don't...

    Are men and women actually equal?

    Are Men and Women equal? Yes, and anyone who believes otherwise can go back to the stone age as far as I'm concerned. Does this mean they are the same? No. They are two complimentary elements of a whole. Right down to every last gene the sexes are unique: (XX,XY chromosome)...
