I guess that I should also say that this is a help forum, not a please answer the most basic of questions that I could quite easily answer for myself forum. MyUni, Some Guy.

Sometimes you cannot help but be 'heartless' when you are trying to help - this is a help forum, not a feel good forum, after all. Edit (new text only): My point is that constructive help need not always be heartening or delivered in a long-winded and sugar-coated manner.

I think that many may hold back now that they know that you are only trying to 'prove' to yourself that your 'moral' framework is somehow more 'worthy' and 'true' than that of those who do not follow a religion (or more accurately those who do not follow your religion). Edit: I know that there...

The Democrats aren't quite dead yet (till 2007, anyway) and the ALP is far from being in such a state. Edit: On reflection, it looks as though I was merely trying to oppose your post in its entirety. The Dems are pretty much dead, but the ALP is far from being in such a state.

It's good to see that the Aus is on the ball this time, but it's a shame that the paper is usually quiet whenever criticism of the Coalition's IR reform agenda is running hot... Beazley to risk pay cuts Unions demand the return of old laws 'Disaster' to scrap AWAs East to west, private...

Re: Labor: 'We will abolish AWAs' Kevin Andrews was on ABC Radio earlier today trying to 'defend' the reforms. I'll post the link later today (Edit: Beazley promises to axe AWAs and Beazley has 'caved in' to unions over AWAs: Kevin Andrews), but for now I'll leave you with the following (in...

Stateline: Treasurer Michael Costa and Opposition Leader Peter Debnam debate the state budget.

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Re. Iron: Actually, I expect the Coalition to lose the Senate (just), but I don't know whether they will lose seats to the ALP or the Greens (here's to hoping that I'm giving the Greens more credit than they deserve).

Not for the your area of Sydney, no. The next round of local elections will be in 2008 :).

The State Election will be held on 24 March 2007. In the spirit of the thread discussing the Federal Election, which party are you likely to support and why?

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? In the House of Reps I'll be preferencing the ALP and voting for the Democrats - I have always been torn between the two parties, yet given the way that the votes determine the levels of funding distributed to each party, I think...

Given that we had a thread of this nature prior to the 2004 election, I thought that it would be a good idea to throw this one up so that it may set the scene for the threads that are sure to emerge (and continue) whenever next year's federal election is announced. In two party-preferred...

Re: Labor: 'We will abolish AWAs' That the above exchange is taking place within this thread is my fault, but if you would all like to continue with it, could you please take it to this thread?

It would be nice (and academically sound) if those contributing had some idea as to what your agenda, sam04u. Is there anything in particular that you are trying to prove, or are you just exploring what you consider to be the 'rise of atheism'?

Sacked men in IR ads --- We will abolish AWAs: Beazley Labor's position on the matter is now clear.
