    Student parking at ANU

    Hi guys, I'm trying to find out about parking for students at ANU as I'm thinking about bringing a car when I start uni next month. I'll be living in a college (not sure which yet as I'm still waiting for the offer) and I know some have their own carparks for students. I'm assuming getting...

    Same sex marriages

    I agree, there are a lot of issues which are far more important. Which is why we should just get on with it, allow gay people to marry and then deal with bigger problems facing the country. Why are we wasting our time arguing about whether people deserve equal rights or not?

    "Tube Exits" style app for Sydney Trains???

    Recently I found out about an app for the London Underground which provides you with information about which door of the train to board, so that when you get off the train your exit/interchange is right in front of you: http://www.tubeexits.co.uk It has been very successful in London, and...

    Um... no.

    Does God exist?

    No it doesn't to me either, luckily no scientist has ever proposed that theory.

    Does God exist?

    If it can't be explained through science, that doesn't make "faith" any more reasonable. Consciousness is a subject which baffles scientists, but that doesn't make the explanation of "God did it" correct. One of the best things about science is that you can say "I don't know, but let's try to...

    Does God exist?

    Science is "the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment." In other words, science is not a "thing", it is a process by which we find out what is true and what is not...

    Does God exist?

    You should watch Tim Minchin's "Thank You God"... sums up prayers and miracles perfectly.

    Does God exist?

    However, they all agree on one point - their version is the absolutely correct, divine and true interpretation of Christianity.

    Religious affiliation

    You are certainly right. It is stupid to say with certainty that "God does not exist", because to do so would require that you prove that there is not even the slightest possibility at all of the existence of any God. I would say that is pretty much impossible. However, it is not illogical to...

    Do you support the recognition of Aborigines in the Australian constitution?

    I'm not really sure why this question even needs asking to be honest.

    Federal Budget 2015

    You're right, how dare people have a negative opinion of the Liberal Party?

    Religious affiliation

    I don't believe in God. It would take a lot to convince me that he exists, but I am open to that possibility (in the same way I am open to the possibility of the existence of the tooth fairy). It would also take a lot to convince me that if there is a God, that he is good and that he cares at...

    the 2 aussies getting execuated in Indonesia

    There are a lot of people saying really stupid things about this topic (not necessarily on BOS, just in general). A lot of people make the simultaneous claims that a) the death penalty deters criminals and b) the Bali Nine knew what the punishment for their crimes was so they deserve to be...

    the 2 aussies getting execuated in Indonesia

    If we ignore the fact that the death penalty doesn't even work (it doesn't deter possible criminals), I still don't see how executing people somehow solves the issue of drugs killing people. Two wrongs don't make a right here. Someone made the analogy of a gun dealer not being responsible...

    What's up with Western restaurants chains serving me halal meat??

    Also, I have to say that this thread has made me lose faith in humanity again (as things like this on the Internet often do). The level of anti-Muslim sentiment in this country is becoming a real concern. I don't understand what your problem is if you think normal people who just happen to have...

    Does God exist?

    I find it funny how you say this and then spend the rest of your post trying to get out of the consequences of doing so, using "higher dimensions" (which you seem to have made up and then simply asserted the properties of). In any case, using God as the explanation for the existence of the...

    What's up with Western restaurants chains serving me halal meat??

    Oh it's "unaustralian" you say... end of debate then. What does that even mean? I'm not sure whether you're in a position to say what is or isn't Australian when you think Australia is a Christian nation...
