Eh, someone elso bumped this topic, didn't notice.

Equation of a chord of contact from T(x_o, y_o) is x_ox/a² + y_oy/b² = 1 Therefore for x²/15 + y²/10 = 1 from (5,4) 5x/15 + 4y/10 = 1 x/3 + 2y/5 = 1 EDIT: I'm not sure if you're supposed to derive that...

Not sure about chemical, but in general business studies won't help you nearly as much as Ext. 2 in engineering.

RTP: sin^-1(3/5) + tan^-1(7/24) = cos^-1(3/5) Let α = sin^-1(3/5) and β= tan^-1(7/24) Now, cos(α + β) = cosα.cos β - sinα.sinβ = 4/5.24/25 – 3/5.7/25 = 3/5 Therefore α + β =...

Crudely speaking, a 15% assessment in a 2U subject is worth 7.5% of that course, which is 1.5% of your overall HSC. Those 3 bad scores are insignificant really. So yes, you can quite easily get a great ATAR. And even if you did get a bad ATAR you can still choose another degree at uni and...

Yes, but like private schools they do it at a cheaper cost for the government because they aren't fully government funded. The state would be fucked if they vanished tomorrow, because the Church is the second largest educator in this country. It's a small example how funding a religious...

Honestly , I don't know how hospitals are funded, and I'm willing to withdraw my remark about that, but you're wrong on the schools part. The diocese definitely helps fund its schools, and it's funded by parishioners. Parishioners contribute several beans. I agree of course that this hasn't...

Not really. The government doesn't fully fund Catholic organisations; they're mostly funded, I believe, by parishioners. So if the organisations disappeared, the government couldn't even hope to replace them with the money they put in now. I'll put it simply because you've shown time and...

Wow, as shit-full as mcflystargirl's post may or may not be, you managed to make the worst post in this thread yet.

Evidently I'm extremely stupid. So you'll have to explain, why can't God kill his creation? I made a valid argument a few posts back on why he could; you haven't addressed that. Instead you've appealed to common reason, which is, of course, a logical fallacy! Say it with me: 'logical fallacy'!

Yes, you've said that before. You haven't actually pointed out any logical absurdities because presumably you don't understand logic. Validity My argument was valid; you, however, have done nothing but make vague references to OT passages while simultaneously rejecting the prepositions of...

No, because unlike in the OT, in real life we don't know if God exists; and even if we were certain he did, it's not your place to kill your equals (that's why I slipped in prep 2) and unlike God you wouldn't necessarily be just.

Prepositions: 1. God is Perfect, etc. 2. God created Man 3. Man will be received by this Perfect Being when he dies Those prepositions naturally arise out of the OT. Argument 1: 1. God kills people in the OT 2. But any killing by God is just (from Prep. 1) 3. Furthermore, death is not the...

But there's quite simply nothing wrong with a Perfect Being killing the entire human race. Why would there be? Presumably man was created by this said Perfect Being, presumably man will be received by this Perfect Being when he dies, and presumably the Perfect Being's actions were just. Don't...

(Ignoring that "thusly" not a word) It's not a question of whether murdering someone is right (it's most certainly not), it's a question of what context you place God's actions in. What you're doing is taking the Biblical God's actions out of the Bible, but not his attributes. You may as well...

I agree, the childhood sections and the Gospel of John were largely based on Tradition, and aren't very good historical sources. Of course Jesus' public ministry up till his crucifixion is quite well documented for its time, and, really, no one doubts he existed...

I suppose a Christian (or Jew for that matter) would point out that in the context of the OT, God is perfect, hence any killing by him is justified. Furthermore, in the context of the OT, dying earlier isn't really seen as much of a punishment; in fact, one person was "received by God" (died)...

Yeah, I can see how my wording was ambiguous. Sorry about that.

Longest serving. The Labor part broke up, and so hasn't been in government as long.

He's a Rhodes Scholar and leader of Australia's longest serving political party. So, what are you? Anyway, I think it would be funny if the government stopped funding religious, specifically Catholic, organizations. If you think the state government's going a crummy job now, imaging if there...
