Mainstream Western news outlets are not a reliable source of information. Jesus was spotless? No. He was just as much a victim of his time. He condoned stoning; it's perfectly acceptable in Christianity. But most Christians now don't condone it. Why? Time's change, irrespective of religious...

I can see where you're coming from, but I don't agree. If someone follows the law, why should they be forced to believe what mainstream society believes? Indeed, what is the purpose of free thought and opinion if you HAVE to hold a particular point of view or else risk not being allowed to be a...

"The vast majority of Muslims support terrorists" Where did you pull that one out of Prince Harry? I've never met a Muslim in my life who does. I've only seen them on TV. Am I correct in guessing that you don't know any Muslims? And that the only ones you see are on TV, too? And quoting the...

With the way you described the test Ari, I agree. Nothing is wrong with it. However, I don't agree with the rest of you guys' posts. You get to decide what values I should hold? I happen to be Muslim, but not practicing. I'm not sure I believe in god at all. I don't follow 99% of the...

I'll glady respond to the criticism I've gotten, though I think some of it has been unjustified and put words in my mouth. Firstly, the English thing. I do think everyone should strive to learn English. Particularly since every immigrant gets 510 hours (I think?) free tuition. It all...

Got nothing against homosexuality. Let them marry, adopt children, whatever.

I'm not sure what this test entails exactly, so I won't criticise/support it. But if it has to be taken in English, then I object. I'd also object if it tries to put forward particular religious/political values as correct over other values. Otherwise, I don't see a huge problem with the idea...

Wow. You are ignorant and offensive. I resent these comments being a Muslim myself (no I'm not an Arab, I bet you couldn't guess where I'm from for the life of you). The world owes much of its science and mathematics to the Islamic world. The very numerals we use everyday have their origins in...

I don't like the UWS arts department. It looks weak. Particularly on history. USYD grad law requires a UAI of over 90 though. If i get into Macq Law that's cool.. but if I get into Socio-Legal studies with a UAI of under 90, then UWS is pretty much my only chance of doing law. I don't want to...

And I wouldn't trust the media in reporting any of this "ETHNIK GANGZ" bullshit anyway. 3 of my mates were on the news for supposedly being part of an ethnic gang, just because they are all non-white. They were walking down the street just talking to each other - apparently this constitutes...

I come from an area where African, particularly Sudanese refugees have been coming in in droves the past few years. I for one, welcome them. It only enriches our community. I haven't noticed any problems integrating. I come from a place where almost everyone is an immigrant from outside of...

I remember reading they've raised it for med students too but I'm not sure. In any case, DFEE is too expensive. I don't want that debt for the next 15 years of my life. It's made for rich people who can't be bothered to work a little harder :P

I'm just looking to find out what the requirements are like for this? I'm thinking of doing a Bachelor of Socio-Legal Studies at USYD then doing graduate law at UWS, but the UAC guide doesn't have much information on entry. What kind of UAI/Uni marks do I need to be competitive?

Ok - I'm slightly shocked that your teacher never went through historiography with you. I'd suggest it's not possible to get FULL marks without using it. Historiography adds a level of debate to history which lets you show the marker that you understand there is more than one point of view on an...

I don't think you absolutely NEED quotes as long as youre able to elaborate/evaluate/explain what the person is saying, though a few quotes per essay would probably look cool to the marker. I'd do it for historians and people involved. Obviously though, using quotes means you're not showing...

Nevermind, I just checked the size of the booklets our school's been giving us - they've been telling us it's only slightly bigger than HSC style pages, but it's about 5% smaller than a standard A4 page after me measuring now. But here, people are saying HSC pages are half the size of an A4, in...

Don't need sources for history? There's no way you can get full marks in history without using sources.

This has got me worried - not so much about the 25 mark essays, but wtf for the personality section? 6 pages for the 15 mark? that's insane.
