"wat?.............the point of my post was that not all countries allow free speech and u could be shot for bad mouthing the governement.......or having a go at those in power...........what r u going on about?" I wasn't necissarily contradicting what you said (sorry if it seemed that way)...

Which other country is that? Because in ''another country''/ies (or even some parts of western ones, eg, NY projects) u'd be shot for being white! But THAT'S not racist now, is it.

I had a massive, disorganised pile too. Luckily, I was able to solidify it by saturating it with cornstarch solution, and then used it to encase some powerful fireworks. All went to plan, as the English shit bore the brunt of the explosion. Good times were had by all :)

There were exactly 7 days 'tween my first and last exams. I was one of the many people out there with PE and Chem on the same day too: 18th & 20th English, 21st Engineering, 22nd PE?Chem, 25th Maths!

Me and a friend are doing one bigass road trip through ALL schoolies' destinations along the east coast, sleeping in the panno (yay, free accom.) We'll probably have to busk for fuel money to get home, but it seems to be a damn cool idea!

So, in other words, I could absolutely misinterperet the meaning of something, or make-up a whole bunch of crap about something that was obviously just a coincedence or compromise, and still get marked correct! Cool! 'cause my stupid english teacher says that every single aspect of film and...

Hi. I seem to be having a lot of difficulty in actually proving that some of the obscure aspects of some texts are the genuine intention of the composer, and was hoping that maybe someone out there could tell me how they do it. Things like juxtaposition and metaphor are fine, because they are...

What exactly are you confused about?

I think it should be pointed out Moore, at one stage, was so offended by claims of inaccuracy that he considered offering $10K US to anyone who can find any fundamental inaccuracies with the film! He actually got "New York Magazine" fact checkers to go over the film several times. On that...

I'm in a '92 Ford GL Panelvan. Huge bullbar, spots and 4.1L inline 6. Ultimate hoonmobile, so I get targeted a hell of a lot by police.

I'm heading north 'till my fuel runs out. I'll just live in the back of the panno, stopping wherever looks good. Yep, got it all figured out...

I think it might be a difficult class to run. There are so many differences of opinions and interpretations out there of what things like wisdom and enlightenment are, and any teachers perspective would probably therefore be kind of subjective. This class does sound pretty cool, though. Kind...

I'm wearing a straight jacket this year:)

Yeah, I know. Interesting, huh.

Talk to the editor if you like. The website for the article is www.resistance.org.au. There's also heaps of other provocative stuff there too. NB, I do acknowledge that the article may have sufferes some bias due to the source, but it's still relevant -Luke

Truly-In-Bliss, You make very good points. However, I would not necessarily call the majority of the content in english "essential to the workplace" (sorry, I don't know how to post quotes in my replies yet). How is misinterpereting something a composer has done essential to the workplace...

However, if we do raise a point of view contrary to the teachers own personal beliefs, we are inevitably downgraded, no matter how good the basis of our perspective. Hence, people repeat what other successful students have said. Please note that I do know that not all is irrelevant, and that...

Isn't the point of education to educate? My point is that if we're effectively being glorified dictaphones, we're not really learning anything to begin with. And please, address with respect. I make sure not to waste other's time with arguaments. You did not know that, you assumed. I would...

Not being an Iraqui, I can't really offer an opinion (to the original post) with the same validity as one. However, this forms in my mind the basis for a parallel: If I were Iraqui, would I appreciate a high military presence in my neighbourhood? Although the old regime has been significantly...

Am I the only person who has recently raised their head from another tedious piece of prescribed tripe and questioned: "exactly what am I learning?". I'll use Advanced english as the case, as it would be familiar to more people out there, on account of it (english) being a mandatory...
