Speaking from personal experience, given that I have reached the business end of my HSC year, I have to say that there is no such thing as too many essay based subjects, as long as you are in fact good at writing essays. I have nothing but essay based subjects, and it's worked well for me thus...

Yeah! That's a great idea! Then...get this, we should give out MEDALS for sufficiently "productive" mothers. They should be crosses (for obvious reasons) and there should be bronze (4 kids), silver (6 kids) and gold (8 kids)... brilliant! In all seriousness, going to lengths such as this to...

Personally, I think that as a society we have largely progressed beyond revolutions. It's almost a sort of "That is so 18th Century!" thing, unfortunately. Revolutions are sometimes very effective in bringing about change. I think it'd be great if we could have a revolution here, personally...

Excluding the emboldened text, I agree with you. The issue with said text is simple; Australia is the most governed country per capita on the planet, we have proportionately more politicians and beauracrats than any other nation, and this quagmire of beauracracy is a direct obstacle to any...

The issue with government as it exists today is relatively simple; we've forgotten their intended purpose. Governments and politicians exist to serve us. To make our lives easier, to do the boring logistical jobs so we can get on with our lives. Somewhere along the line this purpose has become...

On behalf of the semantic-obsessed atheists that you seem intent on referring to, I welcome you to this monster of a thread. What I find interesting is that you seem to subtextually associate atheism with intelligence. Given that you seem to find atheism a possible topic that arouses confusion...

The answer here is very simple. I'm in the same category as you re: reaction to lesbians. Given what i know about you Yoddle, I'm assumong your thoughts are the same as mine in this, so consider the following. 1. Women are attractive 2. Sex is attractive 3. Women having sex is VERY attractive...

At the risk of sounding like a massive bogan, mostly just the act itself. Given that I don't find men sexually attractive, seeing two men engaging in sexual acts triggers a revulsion of sorts. I know it shouldn't, and I feel somewhat close-minded for it, but it does. Which is why I try to be...

Re: The domestic affairs of countries should be subjected to international scrutiny.. I also had this as a debate topic and, despite my team's defeat, was lucky enough to receive the negative side, which corresponds with my viewpoint. I personally am a great advocater of State Sovreignty, and...

Congrats Tangent, that was probably the best possible thing to say given the circumstances. You pretty much voiced my viewpoint, albeit more eloquently. And likewise, my non-believingness does not stop me from seeing the meaning and significance thereof of Mother Teresa's words. God or no God...

Appreciated. It's good to see that they haven't gone unnoticed. Love your avatar by the way.

I heartily agree. Personally I do find it repulsive, and I hold a practical disdain for it given that a homsexual union can't produce children, and thus can't further the species, although as a whole technology has remedied that impairment. However, I am forced to concede given that as rule...

Re: Would you join a poltical party That may be so, but believe me, in the years and years I've known Random, it's inevitable, you'll find yourself doing it by virtue of his very presence.

Firstly, It's nice to see that my infinite punishment argument made such an impression on you Spyro, although it would have been nice if you had've voiced your objection at the time, in order to make the guy I was attacking feel a little less stupid. But I digress. The fatalist attitude you...

Be that as it may, I find myself rather adverse to the possibility of accepting a denomination with a name that suggests a schismatic nature in and of itself, as if being separate from the 'real' faith (true or otherwise). And just to state the coincidence of the corollary you just drew, I...

WELL! That was rather refreshing, I've never been called a douche-fag before, douche certainly, and maybe fag once or twice, but never both at the same time. I commend your literary abilities funk1234, as well as your counting prowess. After that post, I'm surprised you could count that high...

And there in a nutshell is the primary argument against us ladies and gents. The issue here is that- being an ecclesiastical diehard- Iron can not envision a metaphysical eventuality that results in unreligious people being moral. While in and of itself it does make sense, it is a very...

And that in itself makes them fence sitters given the subtext of the thread- that being a discussion of the merits (or lack thereof) of Australia's prominent political parties. Certainly politics is not for everyone, but given the vehemence of the arguees on this thread, we should all at least...

Right though you are HD, that's not the best argument to take in a thread like this, as that response can be ascribed to absolutely any post on this ultimately subjective, metaphysical argument. It becomes the religious equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?", perhaps a more antagonistic...

WHOA!!! WHOA NOW!!! EVERYBODY CALM DOWN... Now Mr. Ben Gurion, given your overly misogynistic views, you are inevitably going to be chewed out by every female on this server. Doubly so if they are at all intelligent. However, I thought I'd take up the mantle and have a crack first. The...
