You're attempting to prove a general principle from a particular. Just because alcohol consumption from a young age is encouraged in Italy, doesn't mean that adopting similar practises here will effect similar results: in fact, it seems to effect the opposite. Just because gun ownership...

When I go overseas to somewhere like Japan or France pretty much ever person <30 can speak English. The reason that these people have learnt it from an early age is because there has been a recognition of the prominence of the english language throughout the world. Now that Asia is an...

I wrote one of those letters. Rep to the first person who picks it. Hint: its not hard.....

idiot of the century if it is true.

Hey mate I don't mean to nitpick but to me the mens rea/actus reus guilt proof relies on a false dichotomy when applied to larger conflicts, namely, both sides killed, but that does not mean that the magnitude of each's guilt is equal, because one side killed far more. MR/AR is useful when...

True, but we can at least clamour loudly. Besides I really meant it metaphorically, as in "Come on Australia! Lets boot this guy out of parliament the nice way - by voting the fucker out!" Not as in physically remove him or otherwise barring him from entering or w/e.

Hey folks just a general question from someone who's probably going to pick this major next year: how much economics do you learn in political economy compared to the standard econ course? Is there much overlap between the two, or do you learn about completely different stuff? Cheers :)

I did not a shred of study in the summer holidays. I was concerned at the time that I was screwing myself over, but in retrospect it doesn't seem to have done too much damage. On the other hand - if you think it will help you and you are motivated, go for it! Personal preference, really.

I totally agree. You've just hit upon the big 'what if' of my argument: what if tutors etc prepare the responses? When this happens it should be frowned upon, and I think this is mostly what complicates the issue.

That's fair enough, and I should probably have said that there are certainly people out there who can manage it - you are a case in point. However, from my experience at school - which (not meaning to be snobby or anything) is a top 20 school, so our cohort is pretty strong - these people are...

I actually wrote a letter in to the SMH about this (not sure if they'll publish it though). I completely agree that writing decent responses 'off the cuff' is more or less impossible due to the time constraints involved. If I had 15 minutes, I would probably be fine to write a spontaneous...

Re: Fucker Israelis restrict Palestinians to <20 litres of water PER DAY! Well Israel had previously occupied the Sinai, which was Egyptian land. If you're talking Yom Kippur War, that is.

Re: Fucker Israelis restrict Palestinians to <20 litres of water PER DAY! We can't argue on speculation. Yes lots of rockets were fired, but only a scant few were killed, which is more important imo. There's a line in the sand that constitutes the difference between a reasonable and an...

Re: Fucker Israelis restrict Palestinians to <20 litres of water PER DAY! P.O.I. Number of Israelis killed by Hamas in leadup to Gaza conflict: 3 or thereabouts Number of Palestinian civilians killed in Gaza conflict: 926 I'm just sayin'

Oh damn, I've butted in.

Passchendaele German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line Nivelle's offensives, subsequent mutiny of French army, replacement of Nivelle with Petain etc. Haig promoted to FM? Papal Peace thingo March & October Russian Revolutions and associated events 1983

If I get a similar mark to my trial (96%), what sort of aligned mark can I hope for? Cheers :)

I'm pretty easy on this topic. Incest is sick and debased, but that shouldn't stop us from allowing people to do it. If you don't like it, you don't have to watch, basically. However, perhaps we should disallow them from giving birth to mutant, three-headed kids.

If I could offer some humble suggestions in response to this point..... Perhaps its not as clear cut as smacking > yelling, or whatever. I mean, there is some variability involved. Like, if you're screaming and yelling at your child, that is obviously going to be construed by them as more...
