A foolish strategy, but if it works and you get into Medicine...

Honestly, the curriculum is crowded enough as it is - I dont see why we need anything beyond "Respect all people" in schools in this respect. It should be left at that, stuff like morality, sexuality, gender, religious belief are really best left for personal/familial exploration.

At the end of the day, the most important result of this whole issue is one of choice. Now that SSM is legal, people are free to choose that option if they so wish. If they dont agree with it, then they are free to not engage in it. On the whole topic of religious freedom laws, I dont...

It's not so much what you do, it's what you do with it. Obviously, some degrees are stronger than others, but a lot of times success or failure comes down to people not knowing how to manage their career and failing to work on it during university. Like, people say Arts degrees are worthless...

Life's unfair, you take it when it goes against you, why not take it when it goes in favour?

I cant emphasize this enough. Make sure you arent just going to uni for the sake of getting a degree - it has to make sense from a career standpoint.

It's basically like one unit that only has 5 lessons and the assignment is a 300 word summary of each week (might have changed though since I went 5 years ago).

First of all, Legal Studies and a Law degree are very different, I wouldnt based my decision to study law off legal studies. As to whether the profession is boring or not, that's really personal preference. I studied it until second year and I found it to be miserably boring - other people I...

I do think forums have a lot to offer and I dont necessarily believe that they have been superseded by superior platforms (it isnt like DVDs and VCRs). As you said, the concept of community tied into the anonymity of a forum is something you just dont get elsewhere. Unfortunately, the...

Lot's of things - to be honest, I think a large reason is changes to the internet. Forums just arent cool anymore and most people use FB etc.

Hey

Glad it's over to be honest.

Careful, you wouldn't want to be accused of victim blaming... In all seriousness though, I agree, be aware of who you hang out with and your general surroundings. It has to be said that some of these women really were careless. Getting drunk and passing out at a college party probably isnt...

At the end of the day, like it or not, member count is critical because Churches dont run on the Holy Spirit they run on money. That being said, I feel Christianity has so much to offer even modern society, so it constantly disappoints me to see them chase such divisive issues which are really...

It's a sizable percentage of Christians - I dont know if it is a majority. I read an article in the paper a few days back that said with the SSM debate over, the church should shift it's focus towards encouraging lasting relationships/marriages. I definitely think more needs to be done to turn...

You can opt out, but those who opt out cant go back to normal classes. Hence my issue. I agree in principle, but that assumes all Christians are against gay marriage. Myself and many other Christians felt the right response was to vote yes. I have no issue with your view itself, but it isnt...

Id swap lawyer with Engineering - lawyers dont make as much as they used to except for the people at the top (which can be said for many professions).

It's a line of argument that has been spread across the comments page of a few news sites. It's ridiculous - we will never know how that 22% would have voted and frankly, who cares. Those people made a choice not to participate and have their voices heard. Their views in my opinion dont count...

Also on the whole "Christian" thing, if you take a good look at the survey and couple it with polling data, it's clear that Christians are deeply divided on the issue. Look at the results for Groom in Queensland - that area including Toowoomba is a major Christian stronghold and the Yes vote...

So, if we do change the law to protect bakers and whatever, does that mean Gay cake makers can refuse service to straight weddings, or can Muslims refuse service to Jews? If safe schools can be opted out, can Christian programs in public schools be opt out with children being able to go back to...
