Hmm, I am incredibly bored so decided that maybe giving this a go might help me decide who's vote worthy this election... Education Eliminate laptops for students program, as well as the Building Education Revolution. These disastrous programs are a complete waste of tax payers money. Ask any...

As Sem 2 gets nearer the ECOP 1003 vs. ECOP 1004 gets more relevant. I'm still unsure. Any advice guys?

Thanks spence. Good to know the ECOP units should be set. In particular, I was worried about Sociology, since the language in the descriptions infers the two are pretty sequential in their content. For instance the SCLG1002 descriptor in the Arts handbook starts off with something along the...

Hey guys/gals, I've just been accepted Mid-year Arts. So far i've been very encouraged at the range of subject choices. I've just got one main concern: mid-year intake somewhat skews the 'order' of continuing subjects. For instance, I'm taking: Introduction to Sociology 2 (SCLG1002) before...

Hey guys, i'm in a similar situation, I'm happy to enter mid-year, but I don't want to if my options would be dissapointingly limited. If i'm interested primarily in topics such as literature and film studies and all that English-ish written/analytical stuff, as well as things related to social...

Thanks for your help =) For some background, i'm currently doing another, far more technical degree, but i'm not quite happy with it. I'm still going to get P's and C's, but what's the point if i'm not enjoying it? Arts is more suitable to my humanities bent. I realise it could potentially be...

Do you think it's feasible/possible to use Summer school as an 'extra semester' to fast track an Arts degree? I personally would be very tempted to use two summer school periods to effectively wipe off a year of an Arts degree. I know it might sound a bit intense, but the sooner I can get Arts...

Howard was a mixed bag. The NT intervention was by definition racist, and has protectionist undertones. He blocked the ACT gay civil union bill (which very notable Rudd DIDN'T, although his govt altered it so it 'less resembled marriage'), and also used his power over Territory governments to...

Some of you (mostly religious) fanatics just seriously got to get over it. Some people end up liking people of the same sex. Immoral actions, in my (admittedly humanist and agnostic) opinion, is any act which hurts or harms others. Hence homosexuality is not immoral. In fact quite the opposite...

Currently reading Considering Phlebas by Ian M. Banks. I like it quite a lot so far (only up to page 78 of over 400 mind you). Reminds me quite a bit of Dune. I love reading =)

Hey people, I've been at uni for a grand total of almost 3 weeks, and I've already decided not only am I doing the wrong degree, but I'm in the wrong faculty! I've been doing Medical Science for 3 weeks, and I just can't believe I chose something so incompatible with my strengths. I've always...

Yeah I had fun xD. My dad's partner was up so I made up some bull story to explain my "sudden" return home from my mum's place.

I said all the gay guys I know. I'm not lying its true: All the gay guys I know are not overtly gay in the slightest. You've seen "heaps of gays who fit the classical gay archetype" because they're so bleeding obvious! By the way, most gays don't want anything to do with the Catholic Church due...

LOL sowwy :spin:

Chris92, you're very good at generalising and looking at things from a simplistic point of view. Regardless of that magnetism analogy crap, there is a significant proportion of the population who find themself attracted to the same sex without any understanding why, and without any say in the...

Yes, but in the past many more people hid their homosexuality. A more accepting society means more are openly gay and willing to participate in sexual acts. Also, massive LOL at all the gay ads in this thread about gay cruises and the like, which seem to epitomise the hedonistic lifestyle being...

This is exactly the same reason why many currently illegal drugs should be made legal.

The SMH (loove opinion articles and commentary!), the Sun-Herald and The Financial Review (more interesting than it sounds!). The Australian is also pretty well written. Daily Telegraph is garbage that seems like its written for people with the literacy of a 9 year old.

I've never heard an idea scream NANNY STATE louder in my life. What are we, babies being spoonfed by the government??? This is 100% communist thinking. A slightly adapted argument using the same logic could be made for almost every industry in this country. People make their own choices with...

Let's remove all the religious bias and this so called hedonistic "homosexual lifestyle" idea which stereotypes all homosexuals with one label. If I am intimate and love another man, who is being hurt? What is the harm to society? I am gay so I certainly am not going to be marrying a female and...
