    Creative Writing Ideas

    - the journey of a message in a bottle (physical, imaginary - nautical :p), - an elevator journey - e.g, what happens between the ninth and tenth floors!?! (physical, inner - Hitchcock :p), - a space journey (physical, imaginary), - a...

    Julie Bishop's Vision for Education in Australia (Merged)

    Re: Article by Carmel Tebbut (NSW edu minister) Bear in mind that the NSW HSC teaches kids to question and analyse assumptions, and to think about the composers purpose, and their selection and emphasis of information. It also teaches 'traditional skills', but encourages kids to apply them to...

    Anyone do martial arts?

    I did Karate when I was really young, Tae Kwon Do for a couple of years during early High School and then Wing Chun for a year a little later on. I love Tae Kwon Do and want to get back into it in the near future. Does anyone know any good schools?

    Any GREEK students (ancient, middle, modern - whatever pops your cork)?

    Ta Nisiotika: a Song from from Cyprus and a Song from the Dodecanese Keeping with the musical theme, I thought I'd put some 'modern' Greek folk tunes up here. Το Γιασεμί - από τις Κυπρό και Κονσταντινόπολι Το γιασεμί στην πορτα σου γιασεμί μου, Tζι ηρτα να το κλαδεψω ωχ γιαβρί μου. Τζι...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    You're creating a circular argument. Western marriage has been defined as the reproductive union between a man and a woman. But this is unsatisfactory. Many Western marriages do not produce children. Western marriage is therefore better understood as a ritualised union meant to enact notions of...

    Who likes gardening?

    As I was just about to go out on Sunday, I flicked the channels and found myself watching 'Gardening Australia'. I hadn't seen it in ages, and it reminded me of how much I love getting into the garden and getting my hands dirty. Because of all the uni work keeping me busy, I hadn't been able to...

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    Bahaha, it's about time. But nonetheless - oh, dear. Silly libs and violent lefties... PS: Where did Campus Security take her, lol? Did they just drop her outside the front on the uni?

    Law and Order: SVU

    I love how Dr. Huang always seems so calm and calculating, haha - I half expect him to turn out to be an evil genius. Do you guys prefer Novak or Cabot? I like Novak's new blonde look, :p

    I'm sure George Orwell would agree with you.

    Working to keep a relationship

    I think every relationship eventually requires 'work' - it seems to me that we need to 'work' most to keep our friends and those we love during times of crisis - and this is the real test of love and friendship. Listening to the other person when they need someone to listen to them, pointing...

    Kami's Birthday Party: Ideas?

    I like costume-party-at-Evan's-place idea :D - if music, drinks and food are provided, should be awesome fun - I also suggest that everyone brings a short piece (of anything, really) to perform for our collective entertainment.

    Cruelty towards animals - are we fair?

    Re: is it ok to kick a cat? No, it's not ok to kick a cat. No animal deserves to be casually injured for our entertainment - it demonstrates a potentially pathological lack of empathy.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Here's a link to the transcript from '60 Minutes' - http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/sixtyminutes/stories/2006_09_03/story_1760.asp It clearly supports the theory of biological cause, but I do feel that the psychologist and the reporter have stereotyped and sensationalised far too much...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    If your intelligence were nearly as high as you'd like to make it out to be, you wouldn't need to ask this question. What you've failed to specify is when this 'hormonal imbalance' (this isn't an appropriate classification, by the way) occurs. You've given quite contradictary accounts...
