    Muhammad Cartoon Controversy

    Re: Jihad Against Danish Newspaper For someone who is meant to be reasonably bright you seem to have a problem when it comes to different notions of belief (or lack thereof).

    RU486 - Abortion Pill

    If you are going to take the time to debate this issue, then I suggest that you ignore the first post and take note of the following - Doctors and activists lock horns over abortion drug Religious standoff brewing within medical circles over us of RU486 --- Re. the first link -...

    Use of the word 'racism'

    You may have resigned by then. On a slight tangent, I say that a mass exodus should occur at about that time.

    Economy vs Over-population

    ... What are you trying to achieve by ignoring the fact that our land can only take so much if the population is to be sustained at a high standard of living? For the record, this is Australia, not the US or Western Europe - don't compare completely different environmental settings (edit: and...

    Spat between Lindsey & Joyce

    Muslim People in Australia

    As are many of the actions of today's Christians, yet we seem to have no trouble with the Christian label in such cases. The fact that they aren't acting in an Islamic manner is beside the point - they consider themselves to be Muslims, and you cannot just sweep the issue under the carpet by...

    Economy vs Over-population

    It's no more ridiculous than your suggestions that we could just extract more water and generate more electricity without any thought as to the consequences and the needs of the both those living today and those who are still to come (intra- and inter-generational equity). Edit: As I said, I...

    Economy vs Over-population

    ... The country could possibly support a larger population, but such a population would need to be far more resource conscious than we are if it is to be sustainable . As for your suggestions... This may surprise you, but whenever we extract and/or redirect a raw resource, we tend to cause...

    Economy vs Over-population

    Ah, have you not taken the time to consider the finite nature of this nation-state's resource base? Have you not taken the time to read through some of the most recent debates regarding water use throughout the country (particularly in rural and remote areas)? Etc. Ah, I believe that such...

    Economy vs Over-population

    To be quite blunt, you're an idiot. Just because there may seem to be 'room' for another city or two, that isn't to say that the land is necessarily capable of carrying such a load, especially out in the desert. Grow up, please.

    Another Cronulla, but in Melbourne

    The differences that you speak of are social constructions, not naturally occurring dividers. Yes, men are different to women and we don't all have the same skin colour, but the social issues regarding these differences have all been constructed.

    Emergency (things reaching boiling point) re: enrolment

    Though this may seem mean, I really have to say that you shouldn't have just assumed that USyd's enrolment process would be like that of the other institutions, and that you will just have to hope for the best and live with the fact that this is entirely your fault. Why and how you made such an...

    Not enough people getting married.

    Given the piss poor nature of the sample, I would have to say no.

    Universities lie about their course cutoffs

    Why not? Well, why not because there comes a point when a line must be drawn, and because of the fact that degree level studies and qualifications are not for everyone? http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/its-not-a-right-set-in-sandstone/2006/01/24/1138066789943.html - a good piece.

    UNSW vs USYD

    In a social sense. One difference between UWS and USyd would be the number of students (at the one campus, that is), so even though I doubt that it will shock you, it may still surprise you. That said, at least there's more to the view at USyd than the gothic buildings would suggest ;). However...

    UNSW vs USYD

    In terms of teaching (what is most important to an undergrad, of course), and it wasn't really scaled as such - it's score was merely higher than any other university (i.e., The Aus created a ranking table, the Department merely created a score card for each university to determine the way in...
