    All students may be required to study a second language.

    Why not have both? The International Baccaularate(sp?) holds English, LOTE, Maths, Science, HSS as compulsory so that you study them all to some level (whether it be general, advanced or 'honours') with an elective as bonus. It also includes a theory of knowledge type thing plus some mandated...

    All students may be required to study a second language.

    So we can live and make a living in these countries on the basis of that little bit? Also, this little bit is often restrained to the tourist districts in many countries since this generation are learning english but the previous generation has not had that benefit. You're right, you don't...

    All students may be required to study a second language.

    Another thing to take into consideration when dictating the study of languages is that someone who has learned several languages will generally be adept at picking up others since they've trained themselves to absorb such information. So students would not simply be learning say German, French...

    All students may be required to study a second language.

    Err... Indonesia? And with new transport technologies developed in the last century the rest of Asia has become a fairly close neighbour as well. Far closer than a brief glance at a map would indicate. It also should be blatantly obvious that you don't need to be next to a country to have...

    All students may be required to study a second language.

    In many countries throughout mainland Europe you are required to be study two languages in addition to your native language and I think Japan or China has something similar. It's a really good idea as it opens up the ability to communicate with and hence become familiar with those of other...

    Heterophobic hotel wins right to exclude non gay patrons

    The bars new policy is rather moronic, having an open establishment promotes profits since people who are gay/bi that have hetero friends with them (though I shudder at the term, many gay men do go clubbing with their 'faghags') will simply go elsewhere. It isn't like they can really tell what...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I too believe that many who object are religious but I believe for many it is a conjunction of the previously mentioned things. Otherwise I personally believe people would question the validity of such beliefs, just as they question and dismiss so much else from the Bible as inapplicable.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Generalisation - many object based on tradition, fear of change and what it may herald, biological reasons etc. People come to the decision that homosexuality is wrong due to a variety of stimuli. Religion and selective interpretation of religion to the degree that one may propagate bigotry as...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I think this is as much a generalisation as saying most are bible bashing homophobes - one that also would not hold up if we were to look at statistics. It would be more appropriate to say that most tolerate homosexuality; acceptance implies that one is utterly fine with a homosexual presence in...

    Labor's VSU alternative

    I have to say I'm somewhat dissapointed with this - opening it up to the market has done nothing but good. Union services (that are paid for) have improved vastly: we have white water rafter and pole dancing and go karting and paintball and all sorts of stuff. And our food outlets have all been...

    I'm in love with a gay guy

    Just get over it and be his friend, or go away if you can't. And honestly, if you won't date someone you want to date, simply because they're bi then you're not really that into them.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=267192 Interesting; despite its source. Refugees being persecuted for their sexuality (some are stoned, whipped or mutilated) can gain entry should they sleep with someone of Australian residency would then testify as to their sexuality. However...

    transfering from UNSW to UTS

    sasquatch: As I said, you need to do a whole year's worth at uni for those marks to contribute - there is no uni mark in essence until you've completed 48cp worth (incl. fails). If you do get that mark, then it gets considered along with the UAI.

    transfering from UNSW to UTS

    You can get in at anytime, however you require a full year of university if you want those marks to contribute to your entrance score. Simply go through the UAC procedures; it's fairly similar to how you applied for uni the first time. The main difference being on the marks on which it is based...
