Rofl @ the workplace pic. :D

I really don't understand why people would support someone just because they are Australian. In individual sports, I think what is to be admired is the athelete's ability, and not their nationality. Anyway, it's good that Hingis has a match which will allow her come back to last for at least...

Hewitt lost to a fellow well tempered player to the tune of 6-4 6-4 6-7(8) 6-2.

I think that most of phanatical's comment is highly accurate. However I don't believe that it is fair to deny a struggling couple the opportunity to get an abortion if they clearly know that they are not capable of raising a child.

The parents would have done their bit if they had thrown out all of the chips, toast and beans. No need to force feed, if he doesn't eat anything else then he'll starve, it would've help him shed a few kilos anyway.

Is that list from 2005?

Ok congratulations on your offer. Anyway since you'll be studying in Victoria I'm guessing that the marks you get in uni will be raw marks. I've heard of marks being scaled, but I'm fairly sure that it usually doesn't happen in Victorian Universities. Just work hard and it should pay off.

Do you plan to go to uni in Victoria or NSW? As far as I know, the way that marks are distributed is different in Victoria.

Your marks in highschool don't automatically give you 'access' to any particular range of marks in uni. The mark you get in a subject at uni depends on your ability and how much work you put into it.

If God is "infalliable" then the only way that sin and the devil could exist is because it is God's will, otherwise such things cannot exist. It follows from this that you are saying that it is God's will that suffering exists amongst humans. Uh, did that 'tidal movement' actually occur at...

Rekkusu - Exams at uni won't always be predictable. For example the questions on the physics exams (first year anyway, I haven't looked at other ones) at my uni vary quite a lot from year to year. To do well it's best to make the effort to learn the material from every topic which is covered...

Most test centuries if you're referring to Tendulkar.

Tendulkar's first? Doesn't seem to be the case, both according to the rankings and what the aussie commentators think. Besides, Lara >> Tendulkar.

You use the word obvious so I assume you understand what it means. In that case, it should have been obvious, that I wasn't making the kind of general statement which you suggest that I made. Good example. Unfortunately, I'm not the one who is "fond" of stupid examples. If you had read the...

The impression they get is wrong. How is it possible to misinterpret the following? To draw an analogy, it's like me telling you that there is nothing to be proud of simply because you can type quickly. Is anyone going to have a waah about that as well? Try to sound smart? Roflmao...

How are the examples any different. You implied in your post that someone with high marks is not industry capable. To show you how senseless that implication is, I provided an example in which someone could assume that someone with low marks is lazy. It was all based on the exmaple which you...

So you wish to further skew my point? I didn't make reference to how likely you would be able land a job with whatever scores you have. In any case, "If the guy is an arshole, nobody would give a crap over high many [insert here whatever you want to compensate for a P average] he got, he...

The point is that your example is flawed to begin with. Let me ask you this. Do you wish to suggest that someone with lower marks is likely to be more capable in industry? You argue by bringing up points which support your view. However, proper arguments generally don't use such narrow...

Don't try to change the topic. I was discussing what makes a good student. That is distinct from how good your time at uni is. Hey, good 'reasoning' there. Firstly, that is a special case. I was discussing things in a broader context. Please don't tell me that you didn't understand that...

So you are saying that even if you knew the material 'inside out' then you wouldn't actually put in the effort during an exam to show what you know? Sounds pretty stupid seeing that regardless of your other commitments, you're going to be sitting in that exam room for a couple of hours anyway...
