    Can you vehemently oppose abortion and be pro-death penalty

    Today I got challenged by a Christian that my belief (anti DP) was unjustified and that the killing of another human being is a morally justifiable action, if they have commited 'grave harm' to society. On the same token, they are vehemently opposed to abortion with their brainwashed, largely...

    The notion of "Hell"

    Just sharing an article on the notion of religious Hell that I enjoyed. Its written in very simplistic terms, isn't too long and certainly raises good questions for the evangelist to ponder and henceforth discuss. Why does an ever-burning HELL not make sense? Two particular quotes I liked, and...

    Accounting V Finance

    So the question arises, yet again I know there have been previous threads, but I felt they lacked a sense of depth into the topic. So I'll simplify the question- If you had to pick ONE major from these two, ignoring current volatility in the labour market, which one has higher pro's. Assume...

    Do you think the move towards international accounting standards is well justified?

    This ain't an assignment or anything, we were just discussing it in class, was interested in what you guys think. Do you think the IASB's aim to converge standards internationally into a global, principle based approach is a good idea or do you think the FASB will win out and hold it's rule...

    The time-old "Just Be Yourself" advice

    To those who still love to pull out the "Just Be Yourself" adage whenever anyone mention's relationship advice, this article should prove an interesting read- Why Not "Just Be Yourself" Sure you could say it's marketing for their own service, but I think it makes some strong points about the...

    List as many jobs you can think of a comm/law grad can get

    I think this might be useful for 08's as well as current comm/llb students: Obviously it depends on your major, for eg- you could be an accountant or marketer, or obviously if your grades are good enough a solicitor but what about some more obscure careers that you have heard people entering...

    Do you think a solictor or legal academic should be allowed to become a QC/SC?

    I was bored and came across this argument- http://www.lawlink.nsw.gov.au/lrc.nsf/pages/R31CHP9 What do you think? I understand that it is a little old as QC's are no longer appointed in NSW but rather SC's?. Still, the premise of the debate remains the same. If a solictor or academic...

    Majoring In Financial Planning?

    What are everyone's thoughts on this. I like the look of the major as it blends some accounting and finance theory with real world personal application. The accounting major, whilst in my opinion is probably more regarded etc does not have a personal focus, but rather a corporation focus. Im far...
