    Which Computer?

    first of all, don't buy a pre-built machine (i.e anything you get from dell, harvey norman, good guys etc..). You should ring a normal computer shop and get a quote for a custom built computer (i.e: u research and select what parts to put in, and the people at the computer shops build it for u)...

    what proof is there that god exists?

    yes god exists, but it is likely to be a different god from what any religion teaches. The reason is that the only evidence we have is that the universe is so complex and somehow 'selected' from a huge (colosal understatement) amount of possibilities, all of which would have prevented the...

    why english is compulsary

    English is 'supposed' to help you build all these skills, but in reality it just develops hate and prevents many extremely intelligent people achieving 99.95 atar. English was good before 2001, when all the science subjects were maths based. But when Physics and Chemistry asks your to write two...

    SMH article on how shit is HSC English

    English is the joke of the hsc! it shouldn't be compulsory and if anyone disagrees they should go and sodomize themselves with a wooden bat.

    New SMH Article: Changes to English/SOR leaving students vulnerable

    i feel sorry for any composer that has his/her texts on the prescribed texts list. youre gonna have people having interpretations that have nothing to do with what the text is about. Like, take skryznecki, there's nothing special about his poems, a simple account of some of the difficulties that...

    New SMH Article: Changes to English/SOR leaving students vulnerable

    imo, english is the biggest piece of shit that exists, if someone did a shit, and then ate that shit, and then crapped that shit out again, youll get english. In fact, they shouldnt have the right to call it english, instead call it literature. The only part of the whole course that tests...

    General Thoughts: English Advanced Paper 2 (Modules)

    with hamlet, although i knew that it was open ended, asking you for your interpretation, i felt that it was needed to mention loyalty, so i argued: * that disloyalty is shown not through human experience but through the corruption in Denmark( Claudius' disloyal actions) * death is another common...

But, imo, 2 time out of three, you will onli hav to change intro, and topic and concluding sentences of...

    Would u still do English

    English as it currently is, isn't really English-its Literature there should be a subject which is actually English, and should not only focus on communication through analyzing literature, but also through philosophy, reasoning etc. And i do agree with the people who think its unfair that it...
