    Twins of Destiny

    Does anyone remember a cartoon on the ABC about 10 or so years ago called Children of Destiny (or something very similar). Because it only recently came back into my head and remembered that i watched the whole series, but not the last few epsiodes where the climax and ending occured. It was...

    Lord of the Rings Fans (obsessive ones included)

    I don't think learning elvish is that obsessive. Only if you start talking it in everyday terms (using elvish phrases instead of english ones, like some star trek and star wars fans do), that you need help. A mild curiosity behind what Toklien really put his greatest effort into is not that...

    The Greatest Book Ever Written

    i guess if you put the time and effort into reading nearly all of tolkien's ME works (LOTR, UT, The Hobbit, Sil, and HOME 1-12), then you gain a greater perspective on the world that Tolkien created, and how dense and creative it all is. The number of geneaologies, characters, places, cultures...

    What do you think of Indonesian Drug Laws?

    While it is good having a crackdown, what about having a crackdown on the drug dealers that are supposedly everywhere and very visible in Bali and such. There have been a few media reports about this, and i find it amazing that they seem to have people buying drugs in their sights but are...

    PlayStation Portable (PSP)

    Cheap is the Nintendo DS. I've seen it for less than $180 (half the price of PSP), and its games can be about $20 RRP cheaper as well. So when i have some time and spare cash, you know what i'll be getting

    HARRY POTTER & THE HBP - what did you think? (SPOILERS!)

    I just hope it follows on from POA, and not COS, as the first two were, hard do you say it.....crap. Utter crap which i try to force myslef to watch but cringe at every single moment in the film, and hence cannot watch it anymore. However, i can watch POA over and over again without that dreaded...

    Lord of the Rings Fans (obsessive ones included)

    While i have yet to read much other fantasy stuff (a few here and there), there is no replacing LOTR in my book. Tolkien was a genius, and all his works shows this. And hence LOTR is justifiably the 2nd mst popular book in the world

    Brogden apologies for Carr wife slur

    It looks like another few more years of Labor rule in NSW

    The Greatest Book Ever Written

    The is only one Lord of the Rings, and he does not share power

    Another lame-ass idea by Nelson

    I guess that Simpson is really looked at as an example for what is an Australian, much like the rest of the diggers. But i thought this was already in the syllabus (WWI at least), because i remember in my early years of high school learning about this, so probably they should technically be...

    Teachers accused of anti-US bias

    I did read some other forums where people were asking if Rowling is anti-american because there isn't really anything american in the books. And they wonder why everyone else think that they are all self-centered , anti-non-american

    Teachers accused of anti-US bias

    But nevertheless, they did save us did they not? And we wouldn't have the country we have today without their involvement, would we?

    Teachers accused of anti-US bias

    I guess that it is better for the US to be the world's leading power than anyone else. I would hate to live in a world where the Soviets were taking over half the world (which i see they had the capability to do). As an Australian, i would see that the US is more good than bad. Eg, WWII and to...

    Education.

    That's what we had in science in high school. And i think maths as well, and i think it had the effect that you are talking about. But with the rankings into percentages, someone could be getting 90% in everything they do, but everyone else is >90%. Therefore this 90% student is at the bottom...

    Death Penalty in the USA

    I don't believe in the death penalty. For two reasons. 1. killing is just not on, and 2. it is the easy way out. The person who is going to be executed should be made to suffer every single day for the rest of their life. Usually death penalties are reserved for the most serious and callous...

    Bush's Creationism in schools remarks

    I guess that we still don't have the answer to how it all started. We may know what happened afterwards (evolution), but that very first instant is still unknown, so this study is definitely worthwhile.

    Bush's Creationism in schools remarks

    Actually what confuses me is how they want to implement the intelligent design theory. I do not have a problem with it being mentioned (along with any other alternative views) as other theories which do not agree with evolution. Because it is a theory, and as such is bound to have...

    First week whinging!

    Choosing my elective for this semester was a bit hectic. First i had OHS Management, because we thought it would be a bludge, but we heard it wasn't so just before the lecture we changed to Environmental Chem. Then on the Thursday, we heard that Intro to Comp. Science is only 2 hours Friday...

    You know when ur mum told you to stop playing games

    This is just Darwinism. Someone who wants to spend 50 hours playing games does not deserve his genes to be spread further.

    PETA compares slavery, the holocaust... to animals.

    And as for their comparison with black slavery with the current farm animals, we must not forget that PETA does not like people. If they did, they would not be doing this. This only shows their racist, bigot views, which are against all of humanity
