English is the only one I'm fluent in, though I speak a bit of French, a tiny bit of Italian and I know how to fingerspell in sign, plus a handful of words and sentences. My goal is to become fluent in at least French and sign for my degree. I am also quite proficient at Pig Latin, Drunken...

Lol. Good comic, Kwayera.

Is Iron called Alex too? How weird. I wonder where he's got to. And yes, even if I don't agree with Name_Taken, I admire his dedication, because I really couldn't be bothered to post replies as long as his.

Arthur was awesome. And this show called The Ghost Hunter. :)

Yeah, 'cause that's totally the point. Lol. Seriously though, does it have a place in Australian culture, or is it too different?

I agree with this. Also, its implicit condemnation has the potential to further divide Caucasian and Aboriginal Australians, which we should really be trying to move on from now.

Just because something is bad for you doesn't mean it should be illegal, so even if gay marriage was bad for society, which I don't think it is, that doesn't mean it necessarily should be illegal. I mean, McDonald's has caused so many health problems, but it's still not banned. Not that they...

There's not a problem with higher standards of living per se, it's just that the gap is *so* huge.

Imo, we should support people using the principle: Evidently, it's not as simplistic as that, but you get the point. We should be spending the money that's currently provided to those on welfare on providing them with better skills to get by on their own, rather than perpetuating the cycle of...

Does it matter that it's privately run? The companies could invest in other things, such as assisting developing countries, although you're right about the returns thing. In the short term, it's definitely not in the companies' interest, but in the long term, it'd be more beneficial to invest in...

You'd do well to take your own advice. As if looking in one book for all the answers provides a person with true experience. Also, I find it ironic that you use a quote from Ghandi to support your narrow-minded, paternalistic views towards gays, which ultimately suggest that gays should not...

Today, I was reading an article about bionic limbs. They use advanced technology to allow the person to use the prostheses almost as well as their missing limb. It's amazing, and it's changing the lives of those who use them. But it also got me thinking. How much would all that have cost? The...

You still haven't answered my question. Why must some teachings be adhered to absolutely, whilst others be forgotten? Also, you have still failed to provide an argument which does not include the Bible.

This sort of ties in with Kwayera's point about being unable to argue against gay marriage without bringing the Bible into it. Those against gay marriage primarily base their arguments around those found in texts written TWO THOUSAND years ago and fail to acknowledge that perhaps things may have...

What exactly is an agnostic atheist as opposed to one or the other? I would have thought they were mutually exclusive, i.e. one is waiting for more proof, before making a judgement about what they believe, but the other indicates a decision to believe there is no God/Heaven/Whatever.

lol. that's awesome.

Thanks for the rep.

I apologise for my previous neg rep. I hadn't read enough of your posts.

Law/Development Studies. So happy! :party:
