    Steve Irwin dead

    It's a forum for discussions, not pathetic little rants. I can't stop anyone from posting material such as that (provided that it sits within the forum's rules, of course), but that isn't to say that I'm just going to sit back and let such posts slide without comment.

    The terrorism theory President Bush refuses to hear

    Sorry? You don't like it when people/institutions take the time to assess the situation and hold people/institutions to account for whatever atrocities were committed? What exactly are you willing to excuse in the pursuit of 'victory', JayB? The actions of one do not excuse the actions of...

    Steve Irwin dead

    People, if you are going to denounce Greer, you would be best to try and adopt a constructive approach, because you only show your ignorance (and you help to reinforce one of her long-standing arguments) by belittling her contribution to the world of academic thought.

    Steve Irwin dead

    You're a strange kid, schoolies - Greer's comments were blunt, not politically correct. As others have said time and again, she wasn't attacking the person (something that you yourself are more than guilty of), she was merely attacking the public's blind, blinkered and unashamedly nationalistic...

    Why do people hate religion?

    bshoc, the scientific process was constructed so that scientists could continually propose, test and discard different scientific hypotheses, so I really don't know what you are trying to prove by claiming that there's something wrong with a process that discards notions that are no longer...

    Picking up an extra degree

    Student Learning Entitlement. The SLE is 7 years. I was thinking that it was 5 (with additional years for those taking on double degrees and Honours years). My mistake.

    Picking up an extra degree

    Leaving aside the why, if you wanted to take on a second and separate degree I'm assuming that you would have to apply as a full-fee student given the nature of the Government's HECS-Help system (even if you could apply for a HECS position, your SLE would run out before you finished the second...

    Dutch unveil the toughest face in Europe with a ban on the burka

    misbahf, in the future it would be great if you could only bump a 10 month old thread if there is something new to discuss. Bumping a thread merely to comment on a comment of old isn't helpful.

    Steve Irwin dead

    Death doesn't wipe a person's slate of faults clean, and as others have said (in the non-school threads) Germaine Greer has long been critical of the notion of Australia that Steve Irwin supposedly represented. The timing may have been poor and the dismissal slightly simplistic, but Greer's...

    Howard's migration plan

    There's a stark difference between assimilation (a policy from a bygone era) and integration (a notion that takes on a 'soft' approach to multiculturalism). Please don't confuse the two.

    2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Rudd?

    Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? It's also useful in the sense that it is serving its intended purpose, that being to gauge the opinions and preferences of those who are members of the BOS community. I agree. That said, it is and will always be a shame...

    Undergraduate Representative to the University Senate 2006

    Re: um... ok wtf. SRC elections. Ah, I take it that you missed the two threads discussing the upcoming elections (yes, elections)? You know, the two threads that are marked important? That form is for the Undergraduate Representative to the University Senate election, not the SRC.

    Parents paying for uni-apply dfee or csp?

    Just how much are your parents willing to spend? If you don't know, I suggest that you find out before you even consider listing a full-fee preference. Note: You don't have to answer the question, just be sure that you (and your parents) know just how much money you have to play with before 4...
