women are biologically inferior. this has been proven by science. women are are on average 59% body water, but men are only 57% body water. you can't argue with science.

false dichotomy i prefer wealth destruction

no, I brought up the US, and then with the rabid fixation of an autistic pitbull you bit down hard and went on a rant about RON PAUL GOLD IS MONEY you have the reading comprehension of a goldfish because the easily deducible effect and intent of my statement was to evidence that 1) australia's...

because it was never actually a discussion of the number of claims. it is implied in lochnessmonsta's original post (and in the articles linked) that the rise in the rate of claims was economically deleterious. if the economic consequences of a tripling of claims is trivial then i consider it a...

yes im fine with this logic but neither of you have adduced any evidence as to the economic consequences of the FWA's generosity to unfair dismissal claimants. the data that has been cherry picked is unfair dismissal claims, not outcomes or payouts. im under the impression that most claims are...

the greek fiscal crisis is as much of a cautionary tale as the insolvency of the medici bank in the late 1490s. neither the federal government, nor the state of queensland, have much if anything to learn from it. losing a AAA rating isn't a huge deal and given the various spending and taxation...

budget deficits "get the government into the problem of implementing austerity" is either a trivial or nonsensical statement. maybe you could elaborate on it. claiming that the coalition's NBN plan is the more fiscally responsible approach is a baseless claim. the government can borrow at...

not sure if you understand what begging the question is. your conclusion - roughly, that debates are a net intellectual positive - is based on a number of premises (gets people thinking, promotes open thought, so on and so forth) that also require proof. given that i have written sufficiently...

when such a charged issue is being debated, and when character such as william lane craig participate, i am generally quite skeptical about the capacity of the debate format to promote free thought. this is a post-hoc justification of the oratory tactics of both parties, and obviously begs the...

considering that the format specifically precludes the possibility of a dialectic, the outcome of debates is simply a measure of the skill and luck of the orator. a debate is, essentially, a sophistic skirmish rather than a rigorous and honest intellectual exercise. consider william lane...

i don't think that children should be allowed to marry gay couples

i have no problem with the federal government using its funding commitments as leverage in regards to policies such as expelling gay students. it is, however, a storm in a teacup.

actually the right to education in australia derives from our treaty obligations under the international covenant on economic, social and cultural rights (specifically articles 13 and 14). it might be thrown around flippantly but without withdrawing from this treaty, the australian government...

It's not about wanting any right in particular. Catholic schools are defending their religious freedom in the abstract from the gubbas, and rightfully so.

yeah, it's the same reason that austria-hungary would never declare war on serbia right?

There's a saying in Afghanistan: women are for babies, boys are for pleasure. The Catholic Church is essentially the Afghanistan of the Christian world.

feminism and evolution are mutually exclusive. i guess your christian school didn't teach you how to be logically consistent.

the concept of a private person or organisation exercising its own rights to exclude and discriminate is not difficult to grasp

i don't see why
