Which industries do you define as "powerful"? Do electronics, textiles, chemicals, weapons, agriculture, coal and phosphorous count? You know, like all the industries China is a world leader in. I'm especially interested as to which supposedly "powerful" industries are "run, controlled and/or...

Teachers would hate to be genuinely accountabe to students and parents. They virtually have unlimited tenure. Unless they touch a kid, they pretty much never get fired. Worst case scenario for incompetent teachers is usually suspended on full pay and free counselling and training to help them...

I wouldn't be surprised if the libs ended up supporting it though, regardless of who is leader. There's enough conservative christfag fucktards in the party to go for it.

haha excellent point. Trapping students in their local public high school is extremely cruel. It can be described without hyperbole as imprisonment. Before some fag says "omg why should they have to change schools because they are being bullied"; that's life. In the adult world sometimes you...

2nd largest economy in the world by PPP, even without including Hong Kong. Christ you're a fool.

I am all for people assisting the genuinely disadvantaged. All I oppose is forcing everyone to support the disadvantaged at gunpoint in a very specific way which is often ineffective. My point was not so much about the disadvantaged (as in the poor) but about less intelligent students. I am...

You're just ignoring what I post and repeating yourself more emphatically. It will not work because you cannot control the internet. If I wanted to create a webpage to bully you, all I have to do is upload it through a proxy server and host it overseas. No one can prove I made the content...

So what if the relationship is born inside the school? By that logic, should schools continue to take action against bullying by students even after they have left school? You're also naively assuming that action by the school will solve the problem. In fact, it may exacerbate it. Schools and...

Cool bro, so just ignore the bit where I explained my position in more detail.

If something is happening within the school, the school can intervene. But its not the schools place to take action about something that has happened online. It is very realistic. How does a teacher know the complexities of the relationship and whether that sort of thing is considered...

Yes there are plenty of high protein vegetables we could grow in place of meat. If we used land to grow vegetables instead of meat it can provide about 10 times as much food per unit of land, since energy is not wasted by the animals converting the food they eat into energy. Read more about it...

Yes, children do spend a lot of time at school, which is why schools should take action against bullying that happens at school. Such action is not needed for internet bullying because the victim is not trapped in a fixed location with the bully. The solution is as simply as blocking the bully...

Yes, biologically it makes sense for humans to only have sex with other humans (also only of the opposite gender). Are you saying that sex is disgusting unless it is for reproduction? There is a legitimate concern about animal cruelty, but that does not mean it is always wrong period. What...

I can respect definitely respect that position. In fact, I've tried to come up with a logical justification for killing animals for meat in modern times and have failed. The same goes for owning and training animals in captivity. All I can do is admit that treating animals in such a cruel way...

Shodan is the worst guy on BOS possibly the world

Give him and his parents the choice. Don't force him in to a once size fits all approach to education.

I went to a public school, they are not all bad, indeed you can learn almost anywhere if you are motivated. But so many people are simply forced to be in school. As a result they simply act out and waste everybody's time when they could be out working and learning practical skills. A classroom...

Nah I got over them long ago. My mind is free. If I still believe something that I was brought up to believe, its purely a coincidence.

Most of Australia is already uneducated because of the third rate education people receive in the public system. Why waste resources attempting to educate people who have no desire to be there, and who are not learning anything that is useful for their future career anyway.

Not really, why is it uncomfortable? I've thought this for a long time. I am fully aware that I've been indoctrinated to believe in certain taboos and cultral norms and I've realised for many years that most of them are utterly illogical.
