I cycle everywhere - to classes, shopping, work etc I can easily keep up with traffic (people severely underestimate the time spent at traffic lights) and average 20km/h It costs way less than a car. 2nd hand road bike ($160) + pump ($10) + lights ($70) + helmet ($25) + chain ($35) = $310 The...

How can these ppl be so retarted so as not to realise that scat is equally a straight fetish

So much misinformation in this thread. *Syd-Mel rail corridor = 750-800km/h. HSR av. speed = 250-315km/h. Therefore, total trip time = 2:25-3:15. For new lines, line speed = 350km/h... there's no limit really, max speed related to curve radius, tilt of the tracks in curves and how often you're...

Um, Israel claims to be a liberal democracy - Hamas clearly has no moral ground to stand on. So the standards we judge them by are completely different.

I was gonna suggest the first home saver account, though you can only use your money for a house that you will live in. If you want to withdraw it all goes into super or something. It's been around for a couple of years. The other obvious idea is to put $1k into super... because the Gov will...

Presumably thats why hes now a high school english teacher and not a successful academic

Apparently, there was once a psychology exam, with the final question: 'Why?' And allegedly the top mark was given to the person who answered, 'Why not?'

The iphone is way better than the e63, but do you really wanna burn $40/month+ on a phone? That probably doesn't even include data... and the iphone is useless without at least 500MB/month.l The lowest plan you'd even consider would be $60/month With TPG, you get $300 worth of calls and txt for...

As I said in my previous post, God's forgiveness is conditional and has 2 main conditions: -Repentance -the unconditional forgiveness of others (NB the Lord's prayer: "as we forgive those who trespass against us") Yes, God can punish people, but humans have absolutely no right to inflict their...

No thats BS and defeats the whole purpose. Forgiveness is unconditional in the eyes of other people; anyone who condemns homosexuality is not fulfilling their Catholic obligations If you're referring to God's perspective, you're a bit more on track - forgiveness is granted with the expectation...

You don't understand Catholicism. Catholicism is not about the bible - Catholics don't study it in depth; the focus is on key tenants of morality and how we can apply those in a non religious way to our daily lives. It's completely unlike Protestantism, where you closely study the bible in...

FB's insistence on full names means people publishing this stuff can be held fully accountable for their words... this is the only qualifier that free speech needs, as a reputation for the publication of offensive material will draw criticism from friends, colleagues and prospective employers -...

^^^ If you're intelligent, you can get high credits/D's without doing much at all. You can't get 96 in the HSC by rocking up to lectures and doing assessments/study the night before EDIT: Depending on the course... commerce is a bludge, science will steal your soul

If were stereotyping, Asians are the ones likely to spend money on presents If you guys actually had to work for your money (especially '10 peeps) you would never be able to afford $50 for a present for each of your friends

Don't buy ridiculously expensive designer clothes/accessories from Armani, Ksubi, Ed Hardy etc.... There's many more examples of these western labels that Asians have made 'popular' in their quest to be authentic westerners (a male LV wallet does not mean you are in tune with French culture)...

$50 are you kidding? That's a ton of money for a present except for a really good friend - it's like half a uni student's weekly discretionary budget. I'd say $30-40 max... and I don't think clothes vouchers are a good idea. Get something cool like a cocktail making set, that's sufficiently...

Uni is 1000x times better than year 12 (Com/Law perspective) Much, much, less work than yr 12, though slightly more difficult. Basically if you understand shit fast, you're set. There's no tedious drills, exercises or mountains of essays to do - My study consists of class (12hrs a week if I...

If you look at university union elections, despite unions having control over facilities, food prices, student societies etc elections are popularity driven and completely divorced from policy I think a lot of people couldn't care less about who runs the country - so we'd be looking at a...

I don't agree with this at all... the Catholic church, for example, does so much good in Australian society (Vinnies, Matthew Talbot hostel, runs a large part of our education system). Likewise, the Anglican church is responsible for Anglicare, Exodus Foundation. I know lots of Muslim girls who...

Heterosexual, childbearing relationships are a tiny proportion of all the loving that goes on. Homosexuals holding hands do not disrupt the ordinary lives of others, as burqa wearing Muslim women do when they cut themselves off from communication but expect to be served and acknowledged as...
