    Kissing and Glasses

    Just casually move your glasses up onto your head without breaking the moment. It's not rocket science. And if you want to take them off then you can do it from there without her noticing until you've finished kissing.

    4 GUYZ: UZ reckon girls shud wear make-up?

    I'm not against girls wearing make up, but my tastes go towards girls who either wear a little or none at all. It's a personal taste. If a girl wants to cover herself in make up, it doesn't bother me that much. By the way, do you not know how to a make a poll, or because it wasn't possible...

    Issac Asimov

    And another point in Asimov's defence, Aznpsycho, was that he was a very smart man. He graduated from school, and then university, before his years. He had a degree in nucleic physics or something. Anyway, he definetly has qualifications to be delving into the depths of scientific speculation...

    Mary Higgens Clark

    My mum started me on her. Whilst they are not exactly literary masterpieces they don't pretend to be. I have read more of her books than I can remember. I think I've read 'I remember'. Unfortunately her daughter did not inheret her talent.

    Why do you read?

    I pretty much read fopr enjoyment. I haven't read the Da Vinci Code simply because I have never found a library with a copy on the shelf. I read anything I find interesting. I will gladly read Shakespeare and the classics of English literature (provided they're worth reading), along with the...

    Isaac Asimov?

    I've been using BOS for a while, and I don't recall any other threads on Asimov? But I could be wrong.

    Electorates

    These new electorates are a joke. Half of nsw is almost in one seat (the new electorate in the West). The people from Bourke have rather different issues than Parkes, but admittedly, both being country towns they do have some same issues (but so does all of Syndey so why shouldn't it be one...

    Peak oil

    One of the major concerns, at least in my opinion, is the lack of government funding going towards the development of alternative energy. Most of our scientists are poached by overseas places where the money is. And the CSIRO is not funded to look into anything that is not profitable in some way...

    Is it the government's role to evacuate people from Lebanon?

    There was a debate on Insiders last Sunday about citizenship. As was pointed out being a citizen is more than just having citizenship papers. It seems like a lot of people get Australian papers only for emergencies, but otherwise want nothing to do with the country. As one of the presenters...

    Israel attacks Lebanon

    The problem with this conflict is that many people take it personally. And the second problem is that analogies, mostly innapropriate, are too easily drawn. Anyway, as I heard pointed out on Insiders last Sunday, Lebanon is essentially two nations. There is lebanan and there is the...

    Australian Goods in the Supermarket - Are they for you?

    Are you certain? I thought China's distinct advantage is that it has a huge population with a low standard of living and thus is dominant in the textile and manufacturing industries, hence why things say 'made in China' on them. I didn't think China needed to outsource?

    Philosophy

    There is Fatalism and Determinism, which is divided up into hard and soft determinism. People would not have morals because (and you had this around the wrong way, but that I think is my fault) ethics and morals (which are different but influenced by each other) are dependant upon our ability...

    Muslim People in Australia

    I expected this. I almost included it in my post to save someone the trouble of posting it. I wasn't alive thirty years ago, so I do have a short time on this Earth as far as that goes. Yeah, back then we were supposed to be a racist nation. As it was we did provide some services, but...

    Australian Goods in the Supermarket - Are they for you?

    Re: Buying Australian To Support Aussie Companies ?!? I fail to see your logic. How can sending money out of Australia help our economy? You claim that it will make us more competive, but because of our standard of living, if we want to compete with the third world countries who work for a...

    Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

    Allowing this to happen makes a hypocrite out of Dumbledore. In OoTP Dumbledore warns Fudge not to touch one of his students and yet he at the same time (according to the movie) is quite willing to make himself liable for child abuse. I was always of the impression Dumbledore was like some...

    Republic vs Monarchy

    The US is a republic and has been since their war of independence. How can staying a constitutional monarchy mean we remain closer to the US than if we became a republic? If anything, becoming a republic will send us more toward the US and away from Britain than we are now.

    UMAT - Subtle Discrimination Against Asians?

    I don't know whether House experiments on patients or not, I only watch the occassional episode. And, +Po1ntDeXt3r+, just because someone files a claim against someone else doesn't mean the case is even going to get past the first hearing where the judge establishes whether a case is actually...

    auto or manual

    Any idiot can drive on the road (take me for example:) ), but to be fully able to drive a manual you have to be able to do it fluently in all sorts of conditions and no when to change gears, etc.

    Am I the only demotivated wreck here?

    Listen I did my story literally at the last minute. The 'first draft' was when I typed straight off the top of my head for over a day. The second draft was cutting that back to under 8000 words. The third draft was printing that off and finding stupid mistakes (then giving it to my teacher to...
