The only reason why Japan didn't look like invading Australia was they never really got close to us to mount an invasion. They only managed to get planes to bomb Darwin, and a mini-sub to shoot down a ferry in Sydney Harbour, and maybe some other things, but i don't know of them. It was only...

Moonlight, that hypothetical question pretty much has no parallel in this case. How can you equate killing an innocent unborn child with that of killing one person to save the entire world, when abortion would not result in the saving of the world. And i must say that it seems like sex is the...

There is no one who can unify christians, because chrisitians everywhere are divded on issues such as birth control and homosexuality, the leaning to one side will encur the wrath of the other side, and when they do go to the other side, the previous side is angry. And with issues like these...

While i do respect the rights of women, i cannot agree that it is their right to terminate a life inside them. However i do agree with contraceptive methods like condoms and th pill as i realise that for most people abstinence is out of the question, and having unprotected sex carries more risk...

Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad i think his name is. My god that was absolutely BORING. But i had to read it for year 11, but when i got to the end, i was so bored by it that i wasn't taking anything in and i had absolutely no idea what happened throught the entire book. I think that any...

Still another year out for NSW elections, so don't expect on policies coming out from Brogden in in the near future.

John Howard is a man who i respect and admire. And for that reason, among others, i voted Liberal in the last election, and helpd Louise Markus get up in Greenway, and looking back, i have no regrets in doing so. And speaking of arse-lickers, i remember not so long ago, Paul Keating was...

and he is my favourite as well (sarcasm not included).

Acting the way he did, i think the response was adequate. Had he been a suicide bomber or something, and they handled it like a cat in a tree, quite a bit a damage would've been done. So i don't feel bad for him.

But did you see that thing this the Tele today, where they showed the before and after photo's of her shoot? God damn a lot of work was done on digitally enhancing her. If that wasn't done, then i don't think that this thread would be this active.

I actually don't have a problem with people of different faiths, including those with no faiths, because God created everyone and everything to begin with, and only by cultural evolution did all these different faiths come into being. An example is that Jews/Christians/Muslims pretty much...

I'm actually quite alright with Charles finally being with Camilla. In fact, if it wasn't for Diana, this wedding would've been done AGES ago. They've been in love for over 30 years, and the only reason why Charles married Diana was that she was more upper class than Camilla, thus giving more...

i am one of these christians who believe in all that spiritual part, such as Jesus was the son of God, salvation etc, but i don't see church to be an absolute essential part of this, and thus i don't go out of my way to attend. To people like you, i may not be a 'real' christian, but blindly...

But the greater percentage of JPII was on the light side, pretty much blocking out all of his 'darkness' Why should we concentrate on a very, very, very minor percentage (<1%) of his personality (and his darker side is only by your definitions) when the majority of his life and personality is...

Accusing someone of being a paedophile is quite a serious accusation, one that can follow you around for the rest of your life even though you are innocent. In this case, in SA, i believe that he didn't name who he was accusing, but supposedly he didn't have any evidence to support his...

But wasn't JP2 not one of the favourites when he became pope? So this would mean that it will be impossible to pick who will be the pope until he is announced.

I only have a casual job, where i can fix my hours in regard to my time at uni. Even though it's only a couple of days, it gives me enough money for travel/party etc throughout the semester. While in non-uni times, i'm working almost full-time and this is where the bulk of my money comes from...

I don't think that this is even worth replying to. Oh no!!! What have i done? I've wasted my time in this useless thread

Death penalty is not the way to go. However they should start hard labour regimes, such as you see in those old movies or something, where rapists, murderers etc. do extremely hard labour for every single day of the rest of their lives. I see this a suitable punishment, as the punishment...

I guess that if you only want points from the text, then spped reading is great, as you can cut out much. But try speed reading a totally new text, as i did, and had absolutely no idea what it was talking about. So if you already know the text, speed reading is much easier than speed reading new...
