How so? Genuinely curious; I hear a lot of people say they feel this way but I've never heard any of them say why.

Ah... oui bien sur. C'est ce que j'ai pensé quand je l'ai écrivé mais je n'étais pas sur. Ça fait longtemps que je n'ai pas étudié le français à l'école et maintenant je suis tellement mauvaise en grammaire. (Peut-être vous pourriez voir ça quand même...) :P

Yeah she's not racist at all... Also that's totally beside the point and a really bad attitude to have.

To solve this question as others have said you need to use the PV = nRT equation. Re-arrange it so that it gives the number of moles: n=PV/RT R is a constant that links Pressure, volume and temperature mathematically. Boyles' and Charles' laws state that they are interrelated but to be able...

Obviously the standards in Australia are very high. I'm not saying they aren't. But in the situation you were describing the employees are totally under the control of the employer and that is not a good thing; I was talking more about the hypothetical situation you put forward. If their...

I was watching a documentary about science education ages ago and a primary school teacher was conducting an experiment of teaching the concept of atoms (and protons, neutrons and electrons) to grade 3 students and they were understanding it fine. The younger you learn something like this the...

It's pretty naive to assume they're going to just 'get rewarded' for working well out of the generosity and genuine concern of the employer. If they're doing their job well for fear of being sacked and unable to protest it, all the better for the employer's financial gain, and if they aren't...

Maintenant je peux me repose à la maison. OU 'Maintenant je peux me repose chez moi' :)

It's not left-to-right with nomenclature, that's just the way they're often drawn as a convenience. If you swapped the to halogen groups around on this particular molecule and just flipped it around you'd get the exact same one, so it is the same molecule. (this wouldn't apply if the two...

I was always taught that it was alphabetical order with the halogens. I would've answered A but now I'm also confused. Organic nomenclature was my least favourite part of chemistry.

Poor subject choices and the lack of thought I gave to university throughout the year.

It's not an easy choice; I'm on a gap year currently and I still haven't fully decided, but I have narrowed it down to two and there is a good chance that I won't get into one of them so in that case my decision will be made for me. Basically I thought about the kinds of subjects I liked. I...

I don't quite understand this logic. Your right to an education was payed for with money that - yes - came from taxpayers, whether you went to a public or a private school. Systems like medicare and subsidised tertiary education are all made possible with government money. You might not like...

Pauline Hanson is that you?

I have seen several people infer that they believe she was only elected as a gimmick opportunity for a first female PM. Was it the primary reason why she got so much crap? that's open to debate. But words like 'bitch' got thrown around an awful lot more than they should have for 'valid...

His comments are representative of his own opinions and have been controversial. Criticism a politician's appearance is ridiculous not to mention entirely irrelevant. I haven't even heard anything about Kyle Sandilands' appearance. I know he gets a lot of shit, but again, it's first and...

Do you really think people would have been making comments about her partner being gay, about her appearance, or that the whole thing with the menu would've happened to a male in the same role? As I said it's not a question of whether or not you agreed with her policies, such comments are...

This example illustrates it perfectly. Politicians get comments made about them on the snide all the time, but I have never seen any as vicious or as personal as some of the remarks made about Julia Gillard. I can remember all the times I heard her referred to as a 'ranga bitch' or another...

If you're interested, there is a TV show that was made specifically for people learning French as a second language. It's called Extr@ and they have full episodes on YouTube. Just look up 'extr@ français'. The show isn't fantastic but they speak very clearly which is great. Otherwise, news...

I think we're all tired of the issue being used as a political chess piece. This does not change the fact that at the heart of this issue are people escaping from dire situations, which they are entitled to do under the UN's declaration of human rights. If you're just 'venting' there is no...
