    Why do people come here and not want to be Australian?

    Do you really think culture is something you choose arbitrarily? Where are they meant to develop these "true blue" attributes? I'm of similar descent to you (Irish, about 6 generations ago; German, about 4 generations ago) but realise that it took many decades for the Irish to console their...

    Cyber Bullying/Gossip Girl

    My point is that bullying convinces a person that they are worthless - and you cannot argue that this is true for any human being. If you start to believe this when you're a little kid, its a perception that becomes almost impossible to change until much much later in life. I don't see how...

    Cyber Bullying/Gossip Girl

    You have clearly never been bullied Bullying is one of the worst possible things that can happen to a person in their formative years. I started school as a really self confident and intelligent kid, but for some reason I was perceived as an easy target, and got constantly bullied at school, in...

    Ipod Touch

    meh thats irrelevant to the point being made there is still a big risk of being charged $$$$$$$$$$$$$ for going over your data plan... and time spent online equates to MB being downloaded

    Pay for news online?

    I think if there was an extremely good news resource online, then certain individuals would be inclined to pay for it (like those who subscribe to journals/specialist newspapers/even reuters and other news services) - it would have to be pretty incredible however

    HD Tv question

    I bought a $200 set top box with 80gb hard drive of ebay for my cheap 51cm CRT TV. Best investment ever... I can record movies, the EPG works better than the one on our $700 HD PVR in the lounge room and it even has tetris to play when the ads are on

    Stimulus Package

    well i thought it was a bad idea from the start with that $52 billion, we could have had the FTTN network fully funded; or alternatively, a 350km/h train linking melbourne, canberra, sydney and brisbane wat a waste of money

    Who has ASTHSMA? will i have it till the day i die?

    One of the most popular theories on how asthma develops is the "hygiene hypothesis," which suggests that the disease is a result of too much cleanliness when you're a kid not allowing your immune system to develop properly. This is why western countries with much higher standards of cleanliness...

    Learning language

    having just travelled all through europe, id say spanish would be your best option in every country except spain, we had absolutely no problems finding people who spoke english - in spain communication was quite a struggle i speak french, and it was pretty much redundant - even if i started a...

    Volunteer/National Service scheme

    Huh? Anyway my point was that its going to require more money to be spent, since the baby bonus doesn't go to everyone atm Yes, but they sacrifice the contributions that would have made from 1 year's professional salary... a year's volunteer work hardly compensates for this The goal...

    Volunteer/National Service scheme

    Baby bonus is means tested - there's a lot of people who don't get it already Why waste a year of everyone's lives? Studies have shown that the best way to contribute to society is to get a job and then give the money you earn to charity so that they can spend it on specialised services to...

    Iz the TPG internet service(50 bux 4 50 gigz) a good offer?

    I've got the 50GB plan as well Its been fine for me; it drops out occasionally - but I'm pretty sure that's to do with shitty wiring from the street to my phone jack, and a temperamental wireless router I've heard that the tech support is bad; however I only ever rang once (to get the numbers...

    Rudd to build broadband network

    Isnt the Optus coaxial cable different to fibre optic? I do agree, however, that its stupid to ensure it gets to everyone. I think it would be fair to say that those who would gain the most productivity (successful business people and researchers) from the new network live and work in the...

    Do you support the Government's upgrade of Australia's broadband infrastructure

    its strange how on this forum, certain people are quick to say that HSC economics is wrong full stop - without offering any alternative theory or saying why it is wrong in fact the events of the past few months (with the massive amounts of cash stimuli) would seem to suggest that the Rudd...
