For the liberals: - Detention centre policy; i don't really agree that people should be locked up from society for an extended period of time. They should resolve their issues much, much quicker to ensure no problems in extended stay. - Tax cuts to the rich and the huge surpluses. With such a...

Because of the total rigidity of the universe, with its laws and such, and because nearly everything is so perfectly ordered with expected results, it has led me to believe in intelligent design, then evolution taking place. Doing a science degree, i see all these rules and laws but wonder...

In this scenario, it is probably in the best interests of everyone that she has an abortion, as she obviously cannot support the upbringing of a child, the child would have almost no quality of life being born in that environment. And if she is deemed to be too immature to make a decision, then...

I was wondering if May Day was going ahead, because i have come to realise that May 1 is protest day, and there wasn't any paraphernalia at uni promoting this day, as there was last year. Maybe the poster money was all spent on anti-vsu that May Day got lost uner the radar.

That could be true, but i do pay taxes which help these kind of people, especially the disabled.

If being in a society or club is the only way to socialise on campus, then i must be one big loser, as i am not part of any club or society nor do i participate in any union events (besides free bbqs as free food is free food, actually, i paid for it so it's not really free is it?) But low...

Exactly, who does? Not me.

That is exactly what i was thinking but didn't know how to put it. And also with the tax, EVERYONE benefits from it one way or another, as everyone uses roads or public transport, utilities, waste disposal services, security, health, education (especially uni education), but with the student...

Actually, i'm not paranoid about the influence, but it does seem that many people are, and they may use this as evidence, along with the hip-hop and that, that america does have an influence, as it is now affecting our politicians. But the weird part about it is this is the first time i've...

But the problem with the socialisation aspect is that you don't need the union to socialise. Getting together with your mates does not cost anything, so how can the union be essential for this? And tell me, who relies on their union for socialising? I don't and don't know anyone who does. If i...

But wouldn't VSU prepare them for the real world? As in the real world, services are pay as you use. If i want a pizza, i pay the full price of the pizza at the pizza shop. If i want a shirt, i pay full price for it at the store. I know the analogy may be not quite correct, but the moral of...

It was on channel 9 news and he said it in one complete sentence. As for its relevance, it was a politician (Bob Carr) talking about a current event (M7) on the news (channel 9), so how much more relevance do you want. But the point is i have only heard Dubya say stuff like this, not aussie...

On the UTS fee bill, there is the Union fee, Student Association fee and Housing fee, so maybe the scrapping of union fees will also scrap the housing fee. But will the Student Association still have my money, as i despise this hippie group, as i have no use for it, and it does not even...

Who would've thought that Bob Carr could talk like good 'ol Dubya? Talking about the M7 on the news, he stated "travel times will be halved by 50%" :p Shows that an american is not the only one who can speak like this

Even though it is still a way to go, will they still be protesting against the VSU next year when it is implemented? "OMG unions are now poor, lets continue protesting with union funds to show how important unions are OMG" It would be a waste of time if they continue on with it, don't you think

Good point

Economic Left/Right: -0.50 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.87 It seems i'm more central than i thought. I thought i might've been near the top right, but maybe a different set of questions would yield different results. But it is quite surprising though.

I guess for me to feel that the atomic bomb was totally unnecessary, i would have to feel sadness and emotional pain that son many Japanese lost their lives and were injured as a result. But i none of these emotions on this topic. I do not feel pity for the Japanese. I know that may sound...

I cannot agree more

In today's world, the dropping of a nukemight be considered terrorism, but in the context of WWII, the Japs were just pure evil and needed to be stopped. A nuke was a perfectly acceptable way of getting the job done. And it worked didn't it? The Japs surrended shortly after and never bothered us...
