It'll be interesting to see how this affects Scotland and Northern Ireland and their place in the UK.

Here's the data on the election: http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36616028 The young mostly voted Remain. Those areas with the most elderly, the least education and the most identification with their nationality voted Leave. Northern Ireland, Scotland and London voted largely to Remain...

May have misread you, but this: sounds like we're comparing reform of Catholicism to reforms of religions, when Christianity has reformed. Not that I necessarily disagree with you or want to start a shitfight, it just seems like you may be undermining yourself.

Why are you comparing reform of a religion to reform of a denomination? What would you have liked to see Catholicism change?

What about the 21 Catholic Ecumenical Councils they've had?

And Edison wasn't that bad. Created the first phonograph, credited for the industrial research lab. Made the light bulb practical. Made advances in the medical use of x-rays. Plus all the other things he funded. The "feud" was more between George Westinghouse and Edison.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-36599102 "Scotland has voted in favour of the UK staying in the EU by 62% to 38% - with all 32 council areas backing Remain. But the UK as a whole has voted to Leave - raising the prospect of Scotland being taken out of the EU against...

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-36615028 "The UK has voted by 52% to 48% to leave the European Union after 43 years in an historic referendum, a BBC forecast suggests. London and Scotland voted strongly to stay in the EU but the remain vote has been undermined by poor results in the...

I don't think it's totally free speech in the American sense though is it? You can still get prosecuted for hate speech in Australia.

I mean, Tesla wasn't perfect himself. He thought the theory of relativity was "a mass of error and deceptive ideas and opposed to common sense". The first AC generator was built by Hippolyte Pixii in 1832, not Tesla. Tesla didn't believe in radio waves until later in life either, and thought...

The man charged with the murder of Jo Cox gave his name as "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain" in court. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-36567005

They do though? The UK has .23 gun deaths per 100,000 people.

http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-36550304 "An MP has died after she was shot and stabbed in a 'horrific' assault in her constituency, police have said. Jo Cox, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, was left bleeding on the ground after the attack in Birstall, West Yorkshire. A man was arrested...

Welcome to high school. For what it's worth, I went to a private school with the same sort of environment and had a similar mindset to your son (at first). I personally think it's part of the learning process. A lot of kids in your son's year will be feeling the same way. It got easier to deal...

That was my point. They weren't a Christian movement, but there were definitely attempts to co-opt it. Wehrmacht soldiers marched with "God With Us" on their belts. The German Christians supported the Nazi Party, and the Nazis likewise endorsed them. The Nazis replaced quite a few German...

I don't think it's really accurate to call the Nazis Christian in the same way ISIS is called Muslim. They definitely used some Christian rhetoric in their propaganda (e.g. "Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against...

To be fair, ISIS would claim responsibility for wiping your arse if they thought it would make them look scarier. It sounds like the shooter was just tossing names around anyway. He'd previously said he was affiliated with Hezbollah and claimed solidarity with the Boston Marathon bombers and...

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016 From what I've heard, the markers for PHYS1121/1131 are pretty generous. You'll get marks for working out even if the values are wrong.

Re: UNSW chit chat thread 2016 Yep, you have to pass the final exam to pass the course. However, depending on how you've gone throughout the rest of the course, you may get a chance to take a supplementary exam to pass. That said I'm not too sure how scaling factors into it.

Can't believe FIFA is still going ahead with it. Absolute disgrace that the Danish girl is getting punished. I believe they're issuing her with a fine and deporting her. The offender is getting 140 lashes and being deported, but isn't being charged with rape.
