sorry i didn't want to keep continuing this pointless debate but on what authority do you speak for the "overwhelming majority" of the student population?
and we don't have to split hairs, you pay $277 to the union.. where did you get that 604 figure from?
and i don't know whether to laugh or what.. i was taking the piss when i said that the union offered entertainment for you. but since you replied then i can tell you that the union helps to fund the clubs and societies at the uni, so if there is a club or society that you are interested in, then that's something. and if there isn't then you can get together a couple of friends (after you make some eventually) and start a club.
finally, by use of words do you mean "shut the fuck up"? because i believe an overwhelming majority of the student population is aware of such a phrase.
