------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Yet another example of Christian lunacy. Do you think "God's hands" will reach down and save her, or will it be Zeus? I really hope the authorities (utilising modern...

Yeah we always try to as well, but I even noticed how crowded our favourite carravan park has gotten over the last decade. Then again, I'm no more special then other humans and have no more rights to be here, but the general thought of there just being more of us disgusts me. In a...

I attest that (anecdotally) the surf crowd has at least tripled in the last 5 years down here on the South Coast NSW. The days are gone of getting up at 7 and having the waves with just a few mates... The amount of rubbish that was left on the sand this morning from someone's lunch...

The issue is that many of them are violent, backwards and religious with little concern for the natural world that brought them into existence.

Oh I'm the same on a personal level. My favourite days are just going bushwalking to a new waterfall, visiting a little town for the day inland a bit etc I thrive on isolation in a healthy way. But I'm more asking about the larger populus, on a societal level are we moving away this from...

I still think the opportunities for specific science grads such as Geology are there.

Keep in mind you can even explore Mars now without leaving your living room... Google Mars There's nothing left :(

With our increasingly tech savy society, the rising pressure to endeavour in the capitalist system, take office jobs and work longer hours and the ever growing increase in the stock of knowledge regarding our little planet (and our insignificance), is there much left in the realm of discovery...

But meh i mean the same argument can almost be said for all sectors- there is just more and more people going to uni and getting degrees. Law and then accounting were huge rushes, now they're geting flooded. I mean for those who don't want to work in research what markets are left? I just...

Bump to my above question ^^ Anyone ever worked or know an environmental geologist/hydrogeologist? How rare are these jobs?

Ridiculous. How could this be looked down upon? Bachelor of Environmental Science - 2010 Course Handbook @ UOW It's an amalgamation of all the natural sciences along with an in depth area of study (biological/chemical/geographic or geological) plus law/engineering units + honours...

Just out of interest, wanted to make a dedicated Enviro thread... Is there many people? What are you planning on doing with your degree? Are you currently working in it?

I guess in an academic capacity it will be a growing area of research funding. It certainly is an interesting topic.

Anyone working in hydrology/hydrogeology, or planning to? Doing a related subject currently and I'm finding it really interesting. Much work prospects?

Re: Woman Liberation: Woman in Saudi Arabia kill religious police because she is fed I think we need to send Richard Dawkins in to Saudi, give a few lectures, explain some basic science and convert them to atheism. Only then will the veil of oppression be lifted.

I feel bad for the man. Hasn't the scum photographer who took the picture and hence published broken some kind of privacy law/telecommunications act? That kind of shit is not fair. When our politicans leave the office of an evening- they leave the public eye!

First thing I'd be doing is cutting off tax exemptions for religious organisations. Let's tax them first. At least the miners actually have a product they sell. HILLSONG I'm looking at you!

Oh no they have found it...again? Would this be the 100th time yet since, say, 1800?

Which is a beautiful thing to do. Given "religion" is simply an idea and our species propogates to higher levels through the criticism and scrutiny of ideas. Or should we say that Obama "discriminates" against Republicians of the "conservative" ideology? Is he a conservaphobe? Note...

I'd love to actually see what Waleed Ali ACTUALLY believes- he's a clever speaker and even better dodger of questions that give anything away. I remember on the religion based Q & A episodes, particularly the one with Christopher Hitchens he completely dodged the question regarding his views of...
