    Is the Bible reliable?

    There's a reason why the troll's posted it in this forum, other than that they can't post in non-school.

    It seemed like a wanker reading a melodramatic crappy script, I agree.

    Julie Bishop's Vision for Education in Australia (Merged)

    Essentially while you might be able to make an argument that private school funding school be redirected into public schools, I would disagree on any sort of principle that would make it so that extra resources cannot be spent (beyond the allocation of the government) on education - Why deny...

    Julie Bishop's Vision for Education in Australia (Merged)

    I disagree for three reasons: 1) They can just suplement their learning with tutoring/more expensive text books etc... 2) We shouldn't be 'dumbing down' others opportunities to create a level playing field - This is controversial and I'll go into it more if I must. 3) Putting more pressure on...

    Virginia Tech Shootings (Merged)

    I don't get what you mean? All I mean is that in a situation where 30 people have just been killed, the cops might be over-anxious and kill someone who pulls their gun out to shoot the killer. I don't think this is the most likely scenario, but it's worth noting. As I explained myself though...

    300: Written by Frank Miller (Sin City), Directed by Zack Snyder

    I agree with this, basically. I found the film visually entertaining and enjoyed the funny little quirps it had throughout... Story wasn't all that awesome, I'd prefer it as a music video to be honest.

    In the perfect world, in the world where 30 people just got killed? Maybe not. I still think it's a flight of fantasy to say that's a real point though, if the police are there with both of the gunmen they should have already stopped the killer and it'll be a moot point.

    Jews are geniuses, says controversial author

    Everything I've read has shown his work here to be correct.

    The Bible

    I think you're similarily simplifying the argument made against prayer. The idea is that basically asking forgiveness in its self is pointless because god already knows you desire forgiveness, giving gratitude is pointless because god already knew it was there.... etc There are extreme...

    300: Written by Frank Miller (Sin City), Directed by Zack Snyder

    I think it was the son and another one of the soldiers, not father and son. It's probably a good sign in a way that in general guys won't like movies like charlies angles as much as girls (despite the eye candy) and girls haven't seemed to have liked 300 as much as guys (despite the eye candy)...

    We can't win... If don't like movies with hot, half naked guys in them we're secretly gay. If we do, we're gay. We're not gay, ok? >:/

    Well it depends what you like, but if anything I'd say it's worth it for the image spectacle.

    The Bible

    Atheists have much the same purpose in their life as christians do, please don't undermine my life as if it's something insignificant without belief in your god - You haven't a clue. Because if we have no way of observing X then we have no way to determine whether or not it exists. We...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists This is imo hogwash, christians all have different morals and will claim different morals are the moral foundation of christianity. If you don't want to prescribe to X moral stance, you simple don't - See church of england. Also, the idea that someone...

    Virginia Tech Shootings (Merged)

    Re: Virgina Tech Massacre I agree. But wouldn't it serve as more of a problem for your angst-ridden teen who's just on a whim gotten crazy enough to decide to shoot people if he had to have criminal connections or go out searching for a gun?

    Re: Virgina Tech Massacre He bought it man. As much as I'm completely iffy on whether gun control will stop gun crimes, I'm fairly sure at the very least it will serve as somewhat of a burden for angsty teens that just had their girlfriend dump them (though we have had the example of a teen...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists I think many people suffer from double-think when it comes to God, they hold contradictory burdens of proof for God and other paranormal phenomena (i.e. fairies). This doesn't mean that they're wrong, just that they're not being logical. So I do think...
