    Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

    Where does it end, phoenix? If millions of Muslims are 'hurt' by poor political cartoons, then what about the many necons in the US, the Israelis, the Catholics, the Royalists, the socialists, the social democrats, the factional leaders, etc. who are in all likelihood just as hurt by the...

    Attention all USyders - VSU Information

    So much for collective support (at a more reasonable price) being a tenable option.

    Skilled migration

    As has been stated many times in the past, places for overseas students are offered in addition to those available for local students. As for Beazley's statement, I guess that it is true, but we must keep in mind that these 300000 Australians were probably turned away because they didn't meet...

    A person with a cause, or more accurately a complete lunatic...

    Or just a comedian in the field - It seems as though nobody appreciates in your face satire these days.

    RU486 - Abortion Pill

    Kid, I'm sure that Hillsong has its own online discussion forum.

    RU486 - Abortion Pill

    Committee fence sits on abortion pill *shakes head* For a copy of the report, those submissions that have been publicly released and transcripts of the public hearings, please visit this site. The report's additional comments are quite interesting (as one would expect).

    RU486 - Abortion Pill

    Legal termination is, well, legal, so it would best if everyone remembered that fact and focused on the issue at hand - whether the minister or the relevant authority should have the power to approve the drug's use within Australia.

    Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

    Seconded. Edit: Of course, I would prefer to see people of all persuasions do all that they can to respect one another, but such respect must be genuine and freely expressed. There's nothing to be gained by the enforcement of a ridiculous set of resolutions in order to appease those who are...

    The official IR reform thread!

    Unless otherwise noted, we tend to prefer responses that are a) somewhat expansive or b) capable of contributing to the debate in some way - the fact that one may like something means nothing to us, but we would be more than happy to be informed as to why one holds such an opinion. Of course...

    Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

    It's an issue regarding freedom of expression and the way in which this should be protected and/or highlighted (as you would know if you had bothered to take note of what had already been written within this thread and the linked articles). Personally, I don't see a reason to publish these...

    whats the most you have spent on a pair of shoes?

    - $160 or so on a pair of Hi-Tec walking shoes - given that I am always walking, I really don't mind spending more than what many/most would consider to be reasonable in order to get a pair of shoes that will last.

    RU486 - Abortion Pill

    Abbott lashes out over RU486 Tony Abbott: Best forum for RU486 decision I like it how the Health Minister just disregards the idea that the 'ban' was introduced as a result of a deal with the old conservative from Tasmania in order to see a more important piece of legislation pass. I'm sure...

    Muslim People in Australia

    Most pupils see Muslims as terrorists Though the results appear to be troubling, I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's a 'wake up call' - the sample is far too narrow for one to claim that it's representative of the whole, but in saying this I do know that rags such as the The Age quite...

    Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

    Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper Ah, maybe you could name (and link) the thread? However, I cannot see any reason to carry this particular point any further - I have already responded to this. If you happen to be referring to this thread, I suggest that you take note of the second post...

    Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

    Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper Huh? Why would I feel sick whenever I hear Christmas carols? Though I cannot remember saying as much, yes, I do not like the Carols in the Domain, but I fail to see how that they can be taken as being indicative of a degree of intolerance. After all, I am...
