    Dutch Politician Suggests to Ban the Quran

    I feel the love on this thread. There are a lot of angry people. This is why etiquette workshops always tell people never to discuss religion, politics, or sex. However it makes interesting conversation. With every religion there are profiteers who take random passages out of context and...

    Awesome Female Characters in Literature

    Regan, Gonerill and Cordelia from King Lear. Look past the stereotypes most ppl put them in, and they're actually pretty cool. And I was going to suggest Allanna from Song of the Lioness Series, but 2 ppl have already suggested it..great minds think alike. Can't remember her name, but the main...

    What do you consider to be 'good' fantasy?

    AAaA! Isobelle Carmody is so totally the bomb. Tamora Pierce, Brian Jacques, Philip Pulman as well. Ursula Le Guin. 'Good' fantasy is when important issues in the world today are commented on/explored, in an imaginative way. I like to think that's the whole point of fantasy, it's like our...

    Religious affiliation

    I'm just gonna set something straight here (pardon the pun) but it's the sexual behaviour that's condemned, not the person themselves. I myself am christian, and I believe that humans are made sexual, not hetero/homo but simply sexual and I believe that homosexuality/bisexuality is a facet of...

    Two Million Australians live Below the Poverty Line

    Have you ever considered that maybe they couldn't go on to year 12? Like their school wouldn't let them? Because this is what happened to my parents, who are both profoundly deaf, and because the education system when they attended school was severly lacking in the department of people with...

    Site Specific, Event and Street Theatre

    We did one in our school, and our chosen audience was year 7s. We "collected" our audience from their class, with much clanging and shouting and skipping and fun, then escorted them down to the Year 7 Safety Area. We gave them gifts of ribbons, and then once they were seated comfortably, we...

    Anyone going to Onstage on Saturday?

    I saw programme B and I thought it was really good. Favourite GP was the "Have your cake and eat it," favourite IP was "Almost By Chance a Woman" the QE1 one which i thought the girl's use of voice was brilliant.

    Drama group performances

    In my class we wrote 1 person we wanted to work with, and one we didn't, and then the teacher decided. There's only 6 in my class, so that was easy, 2 groups of 3. The group I was in was fantastic, we were able to bounce ideas off each other, we all contributed evenly, although there were some...

    in one sentence: my IP/GP is about...

    Did mine yesterday...what a relief. It changed so many times though. Final product: IP: "simple girl" has manic urges to steal odd things, like men's trousers, a set of keys, and a baby. (Funny moments, but also very moving towards the end as she remembers her baby was stolen from her.)...

    How many words can you write?

    I am in the middle of my trials right now...I usually write 4-6 A4 pages for essays, although for Modern I used 8 in the National Study section. My writing's kinda half cursive and half printing...Don't have time to care really. Right handed. I never finish my essays though! Aaargh how...

    What's Your Common Room like?

    We have 2...one's the top of a block of classrooms, but there's only lockers and tables...as well as a heater that people like to melt chairs with (I ask you, why? Our school has enoughbroken heaters, seriously.) It also has a temperamental drama teacher who locks us out if she feels like it. So...

    People who are specialized

    I picked the subjects I wanted, and was interested in: Adv. English Drama (there was no way in hell i wasn't gonna do Drama) Modern History Legal Studies Ancient History Drama was freaking hard, and if anyone ever told you it's a bludge, THEY LIED. I picked Bio in yr 11 but dropped it...

    Best+Worst of Teacher Quotes and Habits

    Before our performance night we were playing a warm up game to help us get focused. We were playing this game where you pass a clap around the circle, maintaining eye contact. When we were about to begin, she kept saying "I've got the clap." And she couldn't work out why we were all screeching...

    IP: Abigail from The Crucible GP: Inside a human brain, Imagination has gone into hiding, so the Inner Child, the Conscience and the Alter Ego try to find him. We face obstacles like Brain Freeze, losing your train of thought, losing your mind, mind blanks, etc....except of course, in the...
