    Virginia Tech Shootings (Merged)

    Dude. He was forced into a mental institution but left, he refused to talk to anyone, kept to himself, even as a child. There's only so much you can really do. Still, more could've been done but in this case it seems like there were attempts.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    I think people are becoming more accepting. I mean, homosexuality isn't really going away. The more it's out there, the more people will learn to accept it I think. Maybe that's naive but still.

    Virginia Tech Shootings (Merged)

    Re: Virginia Tech Shootings Yes, that's your interpretation of it. The rest of America believes that it is their right to bear arms for their protection, their defense in any situation. By the way, most of them believe that "The War on Terror" is an ongoing war and they're protecting...

    If English wasn't compulsory, would you do it?

    Grammar and spelling as well as sentence construction should be taught at a primary level. So that is the NSW primary education failing you. I would still have done English. It was absolutely fantastic and my favorite subject. At a HSC level you're meant to be analysing and interpreting texts...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists People who tell me I'm going to hell are family, people at my old (catholic) school and every nun and priest I've met. Just in general, anyone who has tried to make me believe in God (minus non institutionalized religion uni friends). Most schools need...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists B relates to A. When attempting to force Christianity on me please do not quote a cultural text in trying to make me believe in God. I don't think telling me I'm going to go to hell when I don't pray constitutes as defending their religion. Sure you've...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists I didn't think so either. S1MO, I thought, was trying to demonstrate that.

    Virginia Tech Shootings (Merged)

    Re: Virgina Tech Massacre BAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah right. Uh huh. You go right ahead and delete a couple things out the documents that the United States of America was founded and built on. While you're at it, why don't you just eliminate free speech? You know, that's really pesky these...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists I'm not trying to. I just don't understand it. You were trying to explain to me (I thought) that there was rational behind blind faith, I was just trying to understand it.

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Give me an example of relating God's will to an recent event. I'm having difficulty seeing how this is anything more than speculation.

    Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 3

    Danica? I wish she left last night. Her face is too round and she's not that good on the damn catwalk.

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Wait, wait, wait, what? People relate God's will to recent events. That's speculation right? Also, the Bible isn't exactly the most reliable piece of evidence either. So they're using faith in those two things to justify blind faith in God? That doesn't...

    PIP Survey: Socio-economic status and teenagers

    Age: 18 Sex: Male/female Female Location: Upper North Shore Ethnicity:Caucasian, German/Irish background. Born in the USA. What stereotypes do you usually associate with teenagers of the higher class? Rich Snob. Which is fairly true for a lot of people in this area. What stereotypes do...

    Australia's Next Top Model Cycle 3

    Eh, she reminds me of too many melodramatic but well dressed north shore/eastern suburbs girls. Alice has the best model look for the moment but I kinda like Jane if she'd just pull something out.

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Okay to emocore or whatever. I simply think that most atheists I know are more logical because they either have been raised in a religious setting then examined themselves, religion, their relationship with God and used logic/rationale to establish to...

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Again, religion is the excuse there. It's not within the religious code to do that, it's humans fixating on it because of their own means, ends and ideas. It's all human error.

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists That's a good point, another good point is the atrocious spelling, grammar and syntax of this piece.

    Intolerance: Christians vs. Atheists

    Re: intolerance Christians vs. atheists Plus, I think Christians (in particular) are jumping on those elitist athiests to go "Ohhh Ohhh We're not the only ones who are extreme in our views and rude to everyone else about them. Atheists do it too!" Simplistic but true.
