    Pizza Hut gave my friend Food Poisoning?

    And what would not complaining do? Allow them to keep their poorly managed staff around to poison more people? Did you know many cases of Food Poisoning go unrecorded because people are too frightened to face the big franchises or they they cannot be bothered going through with all the hassles...

    Pizza Hut gave my friend Food Poisoning?

    Umm, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. Two weeks ago a friend of mine bought pizza at Pizza Hut at Canley Vale and said when she got home and ate it, shortly after she and her brothers began to vomit. She had to be taken to hospital and missed a couple of school days...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Matthew's story is inspiring and only good things will come out of it. His attitude to his sport is great and he'll be a positive role model for many. I really admire him, and they'll be many people who are proud of his efforts in Beijing.

    Beijing Olympics 2008 Discussion Thread

    Not my words, but the below sums up my view: I think people are bashing China because it's the Olympics and because they can. China has a long way to go, but that doesn't mean the U.S and other parts of the world are completely innocent of human rights abuse either.

    Families face losing their welfare if their children skip school

    I agree with you. I know some kids who go through genuine depression and sometimes the school mentality is too much for them. When they're all alone, and have to face the intimidation of teachers and authorities in school. They grow anxious when faced with going to school, then subsequently...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    You know what's sad? Teenagers in Australia who know who they are already are constantly having to fight with their mind everyday. They who know they are, but they're going to be denied because they're different. Then they grow up, bearing all that societal scrutiny, tell themselves to be...

    Music of the Beijing Olympic Games (channel 7)

    If ANY of you are wondering what the song played tonight in the slow-mo clip tonight on channel seven's coverage of the Olympic Games, don't fret. I found out recently that it is a duet by Italian Andrea Bocelli and English Sarah Brightman. The name of the song is Canto Della Terra Another...

    What happens if you're sick and miss the Day of Exam/Assesment Task?

    I've been very sick with a chest infection and severe coughing all week long. That meant I missed any assessments for that week, including a History Essay and English Speaking Task! I was working with a partner in class on a role-play for Macbeth, and I just got word from a mate of mine that my...

    What should I do? (my school doesn't offer accelerated courses)

    Except in Maths. I feel screwd because I have such a big interest in learning Philosophy and the only way I'll be able to do this course is by accelerating in one or more subjects. Should I change schools? I don't want to because I've got friends here and I'm terrible at adjusting to new...

    Dream Careers

    Haha! It's an asian thing around my part, and probably because naturally all parents want what's good for their kids but it does sound selfish when it's not the path you want to go down. In some ways I believe that your parent's expectations of you has a lot to do with your financial status and...

    School Holidays...

    You're lucky you got the chance to play when you were younger. I'm sure starting at 14 was way too old for me to pursue a career in Tennis, even if I love the sport. If I knew back when I was, say 9, I would definitely have started earlier and maybe even consider a career in it? Most tennis PROS...

    I've been to Tennis Camp for four days now. Awesome experience, you get there at 9am and leave at 3pm, like a normal school day. We play all throughout the day and get 2 lunch breaks. It's creates social opportunities and I enjoy the matches and activities we do here, and the people I met are a...

    Novels!!!

    One thing I have to say I'm guilty of, is that when I'm given a novel to read, I can sometimes get lazy and go to websites like Spark Notes and Cliffs Notes instead of reading the novels..
