    Ebola Spreading Fast

    I'm pretty sure you can't get it just by sitting next to someone who has AIDS/HIV. You can get it by having sex with an infected person or if their blood enters your body (e.g. Sharing syringes, which you really shouldn't do in the first place).

    The Guide To Applying For A Selective School

    I just came back from the interview part so I thought I might also add more stuff to this thread for others who also want to apply to a selective school. RivalryofTroll covered pretty much the scope of the application process, but I'll try add some more to it, only more about hurlstone The...

    The Woolworths Thread

    Would 15 be too young to be considered for a job as a "Replenishment Team member"? There's a job offer at a store near my area and I was wondering if I'm old enough to have a chance at that!

    Kids as young as 10 begin convicted of violence

    Did you also read the "Possible end of progression" section? It says that between 1998-2004, IQ points slowly starting declining at the same amount of points it had increased by. Furthermore, it continues saying that "the average IQ of the young world population would decline by 1.34 points per...

    Kids as young as 10 begin convicted of violence

    I never said all parents are bad? I'm merely saying that bad parents with the wrong skills in parenting raise bad kids. And maybe if you took better care of your teeth, you wouldn't need to have got the fillings in the first place.

    Kids as young as 10 begin convicted of violence

    Oh and I'm guessing bad parenting has somewhat a factor in that as well: bad parents raise bad kids, who then grow up and repeat the cycle again.

    Kids as young as 10 begin convicted of violence

    The following is an extract from Julian Cribb's newly-released book: Poisoned Planet. I suggest that you take a look at it more as it is quite an eye-opening text. "Though we pride ourselves in our remarkable technological and creative prowess, our educational standards and our urban...

    Best method of practising maths?

    Just practise, practise and practise. Do problems or complete chapter reviews/exercises in the textbook, find worksheets online. Don't bother writing notes for maths unless it's to jot down formulas or complex explanations, just leave the simple stuff during practice and ask the teacher if you...

    Apple Watch / iPhone 6

    Personally I find that Apple products are just getting ridiculous now, they've been subtlety copying certain aspects of Android and the last iOS update was just ridiculous in terms of data size. As for the bending bit? I personally don't really care but maybe it can encourage users to switch to...

    Hurlstone Agricultural Queries?

    Thank you! I wouldn't mind having to do agriculture for HSC but then again I always have varying opinions. Definitely, I'm just simply going to be honest to them at the interview.

    Australia's secret influenza plan?

    True but apparently the strain they are preparing for will have a massive devastation on Australia, it's one reason why their working so hard on it now. Apparently this influenza strain is more worrisome than Ebola (not that the strain even exists YET).

    Hurlstone Agricultural Queries?

    That would be cool! I have a friend there who goes Sefton, but he shares the same train with hurlstonians. In the extended response I had three body paragraphs: -The field of work the career deals with (and other potential crap, I kinda waffled here) -Benefits and rewards of the career -How it...
