    Stupidest thing you've been punished for?

    I was once told off for colouring in a snail realistically instead of colouring it in rainbow. I was in kindergarten.

    Aganist abortion

    First and foremostly, I will say this, I am not Catholic! Ahem... To continue There is still adoption. Would one go to the point of insanity merely over 9 months of big belly and 9 hours of pain? I'm sorry, I don't quite understand this train of logic. You'd need to explain in more...

    Aganist abortion

    Wow, what a thread. I'd like to say a few things 1. Rape victims often don't conceive, their stress levels preventing any fusion between the cells. While this is only usually the case, it still very often is the case. 2. Most disabilities don't screw your life up beyond repair. I'm mentally...

    religious intolerance

    I did a bit of research and it turns out you were right on some grounds. There are no clear references to the 10 plagues although there are references to a "time of darkness" as outlined by the Ipuwer Papyrus in which Egypt is described as a place of chaos, turned upside down by natural...

    religious intolerance

    That would be a brilliant theory if it weren't for the fact that one of those guys, like Jesus or whoever was right. I'm not very familiar with many religions and their history, but how do you explain some of Jesus' miracles recorded by Christian and non-Christian alike, and the stuff that...

    Internet Explorer or Firefox?

    Explorer is crap and should never be used if you have a choice. Firefox is much faster, but it also has the benefit of plugins. It is better on all grounds. Chrome > FF> IE

    religious intolerance

    But true atheism means there is no God and no supreme power. Therefore, logically following this train of thought, there is no one to make anything right or wrong and thus there is no "right or wrong" except for what you create. An atheist makes "god" in their own image, how they think he should...

    religious intolerance

    Doesn't work like that: just about all religions claim that, unless you change to their religion, you're in for suffering. And lets face it, even atheism is along similar lines (many athiests think that thiests as a group are gullible retards and thus, them being good is a waste of time and...

    Julia Gillard new Prime Minister

    I find it ironic that this is a school-related forum, but there haven't been very many mentions of her role as minister for education.

    When will Australia have a gay prime minister?

    I reckon when the Greens or Democrats get the majority in the upper house. Looking through their policies and reactions to other policies, I'd almost go so far as to say that they value homosexual relationships over the environment.

    christians! :)

    While it kind of works like that, for Jesus to have saved you, you have to accept him and thus love him. If you love him you will try to obey him.

    So who thinks there's problems with this syllabus?

    Yeah, I was looking for a general science category to put this in, but I couldn't find one, so I just went with the subject which (so far) has thrown up the most of this sort of stuff. Yes I do do Physics, but I'm only in Year 11. @spence I also realise that doing Chemistry doesn't make...

    So who thinks there's problems with this syllabus?

    Do you care when copper was first used and manufactured. I value history, but only as a resource to learn from. Dates aren't important, events are and their impacts, but not as something for Chemists. If your view is that, as a chemist, you should know the history of your subject, you...

    So who thinks there's problems with this syllabus?

    A lot of stuff seems a bit on the "social science" side, as opposed to the "pure science" side. I mean come on, straight from the syllabus: "outline and examine some uses of different metals through history, including contemporary uses, as uncombined metals or as alloys" How would that help...

    Excellent website for articles!

    This is brilliant. I've been given an assignment based on media articles and I couldn't find any. I just found three in four minutes that would almost finish the assignment for me. Thank you oh so much.

    christians! :)

    I'm fairly sure this belongs elsewhere but oh well, here goes (without biblical quotes) A Christian, as the name suggests, has something to do with the Christ, the man Joshua Ben Joseph (or Jesus Christ to most) who lived 2000 years ago. Christians believe that this man is Lord and they love...
