"But it should be equipping people to understand what their rights and responsibilities are, not testing them on Walter Lindrum or Don Bradman or any other irrelevant bit of Australiana." So true. And I don't know who that guy is either. Lol.

The lack of info given to the kids and the school is the most concerning. Of course the kid's gonna have issues. Why the hell would you do it like that? Or if you had to, change schools.

Or, it's simply because you recognise the undeniable logic of my argument and can no longer come up with reasonable arguments.

Of course I don't think that. For example, not allowing two people who love each other to marry, simply because they are the same gender, is to behave 'legally' under the current system, however, I think this is *wrong* 'morally'. I do agree with you on this point, but I think it's a...

Lol.

This is a complete 360 in your argument. Firstly, you suggested that the state focuses *too much* on individual actions, now you suggest it focuses too little on them. Also, how does allowing a person to make a choice about having an abortion lead them *not* to take moral responsibility for...

Totally agreed with this. If there is a God, it is highly, highly unlikely that it would be akin to *any* conception of this being currently found in the mainstream Abrahamic religions. (And I only refer to the Abrahamic religions because I don't know enough about the others to make a judgement.)

Interesting post. I like. :D

Hmm. Well I go to a private school with connections to the Anglican church and there are loads of atheists/agnostics there. But I do get the reasoning of the OP. It *is* a fairly narrow environment. I was lucky to go to a public primary school and be exposed to all sorts there. Maybe that would...

Hmm. Yeah ok... But my question is not only should we be fighting the War on Terror (which I am strongly opposed to) but given that we ARE already, is it possible to 'win'? Specifically, with relationship to Afghanistan.

How is abortion genocide? It doesn't focus on embryos of one race. Also, do you truly think that the state focuses more on the individual than society by allowing abortion? This ignores the idea that society is, in fact, made up of individuals and that it is only by valuing the rights (within...

Hey. How's your quest of converting people to atheism coming along? :p

I think it's 'cause gay guys (stereotypically) have better fashion sense, better hygiene practices, are easier to share emotions with... I mean...guys that chicks can actually relate to on some level? It's a refreshing change. :p

Hey, he *is* a guy. Aren't we told that all guys want is sex? :p Besides, there's nothing wrong with keeping your options open. Lol.

Lol. :D

Just watched the SBS news. 6 Italian soldiers were killed in Kabul in Afghanistan. That was as many killed in a single blast than had been killed over 2 years. And apparently the election has gone to shit because so many votes were deemed 'rigged'. The situation there definitely hasn't got any...

Anything interesting?

A 'Philosophical' section. Too much religious discussion clogging up the NCAP forum.

Hey...it's the neo-liberal capitalist. :p

Agreed. Overall, we have very small population. We have one of the lowest concentrations of people (2/squ. k) but we also have 80% of our population living on 20% of the land (i.e. coastlines).
