So are you saying that you discuss issues based on your unyielding and rigid beliefs, while disregarding any comments of those who do not share your view?

Personal beliefs and morals do not come into this. Please re-read the issue at the beginning of the topic so that you actually know what is being discussed.

In any particular year there will be a few people who put in very little work and achieve very high scores. There will also be people who put in a lot of effort and achieve low scores. However, for the majority, the score that is obtained is directly related to how much effort is put in. So...

Why? Please explain. People need to realise that others are only going to help you if they get something out of it for themselves. So it's fairly obvious that money will be spent on those who are more likely to benefit society. It shouldn't matter whether the student is from Australia or...

You're funny.

It's her way of telling you that she's a dirty wh0re.

Not sure about other unis but at mine, a Bachelor of Science (taken as a signle degree) already allows for elective subjects. So people can already choose to broaden the scope of their course of they wish to. So what else do you want to be changed?

The key word there is choice. You should have made it clear that you were not advocating the same thing as Mr. I will impose my values upon everyone else as if they are God's own words. I have nothing against allowing for more choice. What I am against is the notion that people should be...

This is the first time that you have produced anything close to an answer to my question. Anyway, are suggesting that it's alright for you to tell someone else to do liberal arts whereas no one has a right to force you to take a few of years of physics? As you say, people are already forced...

gerhard, until they pass this ridiculous notion of forcing people to do pointless and irrelevant subjects which they have no interest in, I won't be taking any philospophy subjects. How so? As an example, please explain to me how one to two years of liberal arts will benefit my...

The main difference between what you and I have been saying is that I simply do not believe that people should be forced to do something which is of no relevance to their course. On the other hand, you have been endorsing a system where people are forced to do something which they do not wish to...

Yeah ok so we want to encourage students to get high paying jobs... Under this scheme it wouldn't matter how much the HECs increases are now would it? You start by saying that HECs shouldn't be increased by a ridiculous amount (eg. 500%) so that students are not punished so severely. Then...

By and large most student's places are funded by HECs. So by your line of reasoning if it wasn't for society then the student wouldn't even be able to get a job in the first place. So it follows that they should pay back 100% of their earnings to society. Also, you do realise that you don't...

Gerhard, If HECS can cover everything then why were so many people complaining about the price increase for courses this year? I mean, HECs still covers it right? The point is that not everyone has daddy to fund life's little pleasures for them. Oh daddy, please cough up a few thousand dollars...

Personally, I do not like the idea of being "forced" to do subjects which are completely pointless, stupid and irrelevant to the field that I wish to enter after graduating. I also do not understand what is with people who (whether or not they like to admit) continually imply that 99.95...

Have you seen anyone actually get perfect scores in every single one of their non-maths/science/'high scaling' subjects and still not get 100 UAI? Note that I'm not asking if it is possible, in principle, to get a perfect UAI without doing high scaling subjects.

Lol is there a thread like this every year? Last year there was one started by integral I think.

Lol that's weird. Some physics tutorials were running today. Edit: Nevermind I thought you meant Melbourne Uni.

Uh, being a dirty skank and abortion are different things. Regardless of a person's morals and other irrelevant things, abortion is a right of the woman. Any one who believes otherwise was obviously shielded from reality by their parents.

Most important tip: If you want to get a crap UAI, be sure to visit BOS and post heaps in L & R during the exam period.
