Yeah, Halle Barry is not that hot. Then again, not all the Bond girls are.

Although, I forgot to mention, Dumbledore will be seen at least once more. Harry will probably have a nice chat to Dumbledore's portrait (maybe more than once) about how Dumbledore found and destroyed the ring (something he was going to tell Harry). And Dumbledore may be in someone else's...

Yes, but when it came to those gang rapes in Sydney, race was an issue because the rapists made it so. As such the media should report that. Further, one of the concepts of justice in thios country involves the identity of the offender being made public (so justice can be seen to be done).

If Dumbledore does come back, then it will probably be because he wasn't dead in the first place. It wouldn't be right to have a 'good' equivalent of a Horcrux. Besides, I think Dumbledore, even if he could of, would have never chosen to resurrect himself. It's just the type of person he is; he...

If the government further funded universities then their would be less of a reason for full fee paying students to buy their way into uni.

Good riddance to Lindsay. I like Joyce, and I don't care if he is a nut. The upper house is supposed to be the house of states, a house of review etc, not a pawn for the political parties. A senator is supposed to do what is best for their state, not what they're party wants. A politician is...

Right, a huge population is not the best idea; I would direct your attention to the living standards of China and India. hina might have a strong economy, but think of the average worker living in poverty earning a measely wage a day. Further, the US, which some idiots, even in government...

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Is it entirely possible that at the moment Australia is not in the best position to be encouraging immigration. We have poor infrastructure in Sydney particulary (immigration hotspot that it is), such as water shortages, we have unrest over ethnic...

But if a terrorist has been here long enough and immigrated etc, then wouldn't he have an identity card. I mean, from what I can gather it's not hard to immigrate to Australia and get citizenship.

On another note, and back to the original post: Doesn't it seem that todays insult is 'racist'. Fifty years ago if you did something unacceptable, even if it meant speaking the truth, you were labelled a communist. Nowadays it seems that 'racist' has that same stigma and someone, whether or...

Whoever uses the American economy as a marker for the Australian economy to aspire to would do well to take notice of this fact.

Oh, and back onto the economics for a minute. Housing prices in the major cities definetly Sydney) will fall, but housing prices in regional areas will increase dramatically.

I'm also reading a book that critically examines New Age thought. Can't remember the name of it but it's pretty interesting and shows some of the fallacies of it.

Just because people claim to be of a religion does not make them so. There is a little more invovled than a mere declaration of words. An old syaing comes to mind: "Even the devil can quote scripture to suit his purpose."

I don't know about a recession, but I don't see our national debt going anywhere but up. Given the fraility of the relationship between China and America, during the next ten years Howard (for however long he remains) will try to fence sit but eventually Australia will either have to choose...

The emphasis on 'higher' understanding of English, such as analysing texts and preparing in depth reponses that reflect a degree of mature thinking maybe a relic from the history of the HSC. Originally most people who stayed on to complete the final two years of high school were aiming for a...

Just for thought: How does one prove a miracle? If God created the world and in doing so he began at the basics and constructed it through DNA etc, and science has found out that humans are indeed are made of DNA, how could it be proved that God created it? Or rather, if God is all...

If you're looking for old books try St. Vinnies or the Salvos etc, they sometimes stock them. If your every in a country town and it has a market (or sometimes a show) on then you may find someone selling off old books.

This sounds interesting and sounds as if it could become a permanent part of the site. Every time an old one ends a new one could begin. Perhaps if a player was gone too long someone could inherent their character etc. Also, wouldn't you need a mod to keep out others and limit it to...

Library didn't have a lot of what I wanted on offer, so at the moment I'm rereading the Dune series. A week ago I read The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul.
