    Keep Calm Abbott is not PM

    If you have problems with people like Marx, address the problems they raise. It doesn't who you have a problem with, address their critique with reason, rational logic and facts. Otherwise you have nothing to add the the dialog of political debate.

    Keep Calm Abbott is not PM

    I'm of the opinion that within the area of the student community forum labelled 'News, Current Affairs & Politics' politics may be an appropriate place for such things. I don't know what you think this section of the forum ought be used for otherwise. Nevertheless, I'm somewhat bemused that you...

    First year commerce.

    This is quite biggoted in the sense that everyone must comform to what you think. excuse for quoting Voltaire but it's approriate. "I may disagree with what you say, but i will defend your right to say it to the death." You don't just disagree with what i say, but you don't allow criticism...

    First year commerce.

    well what do you think opinion is? there is no objective truth when offering advise. you reject it as 'biased' as it is not of you own 'biased' opinion. i disagree with the idea that you have complete intellectual hegemony and a monopoly on the truth. You telling someone that i'm biased is just...
