If the girl consented to it. Like I said before: I would say it would be fine (though why one would want to engage in that is completely beyond me). Peter Singer, one of Australia's most famous philosophers (and perhaps one of the world's most important philosophers today), also agrees --...

He means the animal cannot consent, and thus may be harmed - it can still experience suffering. Humans can consent to sex, thus we know that a person is not going to experience harm but in fact pleasure. A human forcing him or her self onto an animal is questionable when there is no way of...

Hang on, since when were you aware of the political opinions of the administrators?

Well............... that would be a problem wouldn't it hmm

Latham was extremely inexperienced and his policies were not extensive or detailed. Some of them were also quite questionable as to the benefits they'd provide (eg. Medicare Gold), and I disagreed with some (eg. cutting private school funding). Times were good, Costello appeared a decent...

That George W. Bush is a dangerous president is hardly "brilliantly true."

It's a terrible injustice, no doubt about it. People should be able to have fast, fair trials. The fact that it's drawn out like this is completely ridiculous. One is innocent until proven guilty but he's already been detained for over 3 years (and potentially suffered other woes in prison), so...

Yes, but how are these "types" of people more likely to hav less valid opinions? They have actually been educated in subjects appropriate to what we're discussing. Thus, I would think they are better-equipped to deal with the issues. Your point stems from the an attitude that the people...

"Not unattractive" might be appropriate.

Depends if the seats are bolted to the ground, becoming fixtures and part of the land, and thus part of the uni :P

How does undertaking those subjects make an opinion more likely to be invalid? I would think the opposite. That you believe doing a higher level of maths makes someone's opinion more likely to be valid, particularly with respect to social and moral issues, is quite absurd.

Being purely objective, and as much disdain as I have for him, John Brogden is unusually charismatic, for a politician. My mother told me Kim Beazley was quite a "handsome" man in his day haha

That whole "void for immorality" thing doesn't sit well with me. Just what is immoral? Zapletal is a 50's case... though I can see why attempting to control another person like that is not a good thing

Haha contingent remainders, gotta love them Well I don't see why it should be really, it is providing a private bonus to a selected group. It's a gift, they should be able to do what they want with it (I don't endorse it or anything)

What the devil let me look..

Always interesting to see international perspectives on Australian issues. I think the government should be putting more pressure on the US to have Hicks trialled. The question of our government's treatment of illegal immigrants is logically neither here nor there; it does not defeat the...

Far out.... that's scary It's Keating in woman form!

Yeah Kate Ellis is the only one remotely capable of being classified as "hot"

Great. A backwards, senile, conservative old codger.
