FFS, two of my History units (both 2000 level) clash at 10 on a Tuesday. What the bloody hell?

Sercombe steps aside for Shorten --- Shorten speaks! Shorten win sign of ALP's 'new generation' It's good to see that he refuses to comment despite the allegations that have been thrown his way. Though Shorten may be a promising candidate (in both political and factional terms), I hope...

Fair enough.

Iranian rocket, I think that it's fair for someone to be somewhat confused when they are only referring to an early preview as opposed to the actual story. Edit: The transcript.

If there's an unavoidable clash (that there is in this instance seems very weird), you are just going to have to deal with it. Most lectures aren't compulsory as such, so when the time comes you may have to just inform each lecturer that there is a clash and that you may have to skip their...

To take the focus away from AWB? As you say, the public doesn't care and the Government doesn't seem to have lost any ground from this issue to date, so couldn't this just be a continuation of the discussion that centres around his comments that were recently printed by the Aus? I disagree...

Re: Costello's comments on radical Muslims Note to all - if you wish to discuss the content of the comments alone, please do so within this thread.

A cultural paradox stripped bare As Monday's reports clearly state, it's the burkha in its entirety, not just a veil, that Howard considers to be confronting... For that matter, I too consider it to be confronting, and I'm sure that we are far from being alone. Also, it's the attitudes that...

Howard's South Park pals Young voters have flocked to the Prime Minister as the good times continue to roll, writes Caroline Overington

It is. More often than not the argument is that though they take time to smoke every so often, they don't waste as much time around the office (e.g., idle gossip and the like) as do other workers. It's not much of an argument, primarily because it seems to create a simplistic and unreasonable...

Some people study to excessive and only manage to pass each unit, but others may get by with minimal effort and achieve Cs or Ds. Add to that the fact the study requirements of each unit vary (sometimes to a considerable degree), and it becomes quite clear that asking for generalised responses...

Stateline - An Ill Wind Nimbyism. Awesome.

In some workplaces somkers are being penalised (clock on and off in order to have a break), and in general they are frowned upon by others for not being as 'productive' as they should be. That said, many smokers counter these arguments by pointing out that they don't waste as much time on the...

Extremist preachers prey on young: Robb As for Costello's comments - Costello defends citizenship comments, reflects on GST

*bump*

I cannot recall saying that it was un-Australian, funnybunny. I do dislike it because, as I said, I consider it to be incorrect. A pile of shit is hardly as meaningless as you seem to be suggesting, and that's my point - it's a loaded phrase with associated meanings that are quite negative...

There comes a point in time when it's best to just stop, funnybunny. Ah, maybe your argument would make an ounce of sense if 'a pile of shit' actually stood for nothing as opposed to a somewhat disgusting object that should be avoided. That is why I consider your point as it's currently being...

The atheists are out to get you, mr eazy! Run and hide! Critical thinking (no matter where it is directed) and never useless, and neither are 'useless' ideas (uselss ideas are not useless... Great stuff, I must say).

I said complexity of meaning, not the complexity of its physical composition. Please, stop trying to be clever. As for the final bit, you didn't exactly cause offense, but your chosen analogy hardly makes any sort of valid point as far as I (and most others, I would gladly wager) am concerned.

The flag does represent something to a great many people, funnybunny, much like the way in which the koran and pictures (or lack thereof) of the Islamic prophet represent a great deal to a number of other people. Please, don't liken the flag in its entirety to a pile of shit - the fabric...
