Dawkins was on South Park, in my books that makes him pretty famous. In that episode he changed the course of history to one where there was no religion and ppl worshiped science instead. they kept saying 'science dammit' instead of 'god dammit.' lol. Note: this is not relevent to anything...

thats pretty damn unlucky, missing out on all 4... ive never heard of that happening before. I guess calling the uni and pleading is ur best bet... and if all else fails... try getting into one for 2nd semester (some of the internats/ppl on exchange leave, vacating rooms)

I have no idea what ur question has to do with my post. Democracy is a term used to describe a system which gives decision making power to the masses, rather than a select few, as opposed to earlier systems where monarchs etc would make the decisions. i have no idea what this notion of democracy...

hmm both of these seem 'wishy washy' type answers i have heard before. I find them difficult to accept. Cheers anyway though lol.

not sure if this really belongs in a thread devoted to state or fed politicis but anyhoo.... do ppl think that if we retain state labor govs and get a new fed labor gov many of the problems of buck passing in 'crossover areas' such as health and education will be solved?

man, anything would be better than last year... 2hr 9am friday lectures after a always massive thursday night, 1st and 2nd semester. The pain....

Ok, im new to this thread, so im sorry if this question has already been explanied. It seems to me that there are two principles of Christianity (not sure about other faiths) that are logical opposites of each other. 1. God created us with free-will. i.e. we choose whether to glorify God and...

ive been pretty interested in the discussion of defensive driving courses. When i first posted this idea i was under no illusion that it was going to create an atmosphere of no p plate deaths. No-one is pretending that if u take these courses u wont be killed in an accident. As was said before...

Most people with any kind of decent political science background will tell u that the National Party is a party is decline. This is backed up by the long term fall in National party numbers in parliament. The Nats get their power base from those in the bush, because they claim to be there for...

As you can see, Bruce people have a sense of humour...

whoa, things seemed to have become a little heated. First of all, i never meant to compare current day politics to biblical christianity, but just to point out that while in modern times Christianity seems to be stereotyped with right wing pollies this, from a very wide historical viewpoint was...

I find it ironic that Christianity has been so closely linked with the right. if u take a look at the emergence of Christianity in biblical times it would have been seen as a very left wing organisation, pretty much a rebellion against the status quo of Roman rule. And i agree with frog...

yeh, they're all fair enough points. The thing is the Govt at the moment is promoting a view that whatever the cost, we need to reduce the deaths of P-platers... i think if they were really serious they would implement the defensive driving courses. If they were to be implemented the Gov would...

hey mate, yeah im from Tamworth... im going into 2nd year at ANU studying science (psychology) and living at Johns. ANU really isnt that popular with ppl from Tamworth cos its so far away, i know of only one other person from Tamworth at ANU at the moment. I also know of one other guy going to...

my memories are getting some pretty basic info from ANU between being accepted into my course and the start of O week (i assume this is the info kit ur talking about), i cant remember specifically when we got this. If everything is the same as last year (i assume it is), u enrol for ur subjects...

Every sane person here would agree a reduction in the number of P platers driving is a good thing. what we are debating is how best to make this happen without having overly draconian laws. these new laws are flawed for a number of reasons.... Firstly, the whole limiting passengers past 11pm...

i will be voting labor. Pre the election of Rudd/Gillard to lead the ALP i would have voted green. Rudd's expertise in IR and foreign affairs is pretty solid, he seems level headed, unwilling (as much as those who came before him) to be dictated to by the unions and dedicated to doing something...

Re: Is Kevin Rudd to right wing for the labor party? politics (and this is seen in the majority of western nations) is dominated by those promoting the views of a particular religion.. in aus this is christianity. I believe Rudd could be non-religious and promote the same values that he seens...

There is another thread for ursies O week , which also has a bit of general info... But hell yes u should be excited, especially about O week. 1st things 1st... if ur living on campus, u should have a absolutely kick ass, best time of ur life O week (if ur going to johns, multiply the fun...

Hell yeh! OTB is back! About those references in the handbook... those sound like exactly the same things written in the handbook when I first got it... the stuff relating to the fountain etc i have absolutely no idea about.. i didnt even know we had a fountain? the only one i know of is outside...
