If the funding of food was made a compulsory fee, hardly anyone would argue with that (including myself) because some people may want the convenience of uni subsidised food sometimes and their own food at other times which is perfectly reasonable. Whether you bring your food from home or buy...

Why are you polluting this thread with such rubbish? Social cohesion......what codswallop.

Oh shutup. Really, it's the wit that makes politics enjoyable to watch.

Other than congratulating him for mediocre vocabulary, your point is hidden in a mist of nothingness.

Again, if the link isn't clear then you are both delusional and now, rather imbecillic. Photocopying is obviously more essential to the academic progression of students than exclusive sports teams. Further, just because something has been historically linked to a university does not mean that...

Of course, because they wouldn't be sucking the fat from their $160 million budget. I mean, this is just the most obscene thing - students are being robbed nearly $200 million per annum to subsidise the affairs of union administrators, political protests and needless sporting institutions. I...

This is just blather to disguise the poor reasons behind Australia's obsession with sport.

Well again you deserve to be called delusional. How can you possibly argue that food is not an essential service? And even if you could derive some obscenely delusional argument concerning its non-necessity, you could hardly contend that sport is just as necessary as food.

It is not the responsibility of the student body to fund cultural institutions compulsorarily - what a ridiculous assumption to make. Sport receives ample funding from other sources and if you wish to participate in this mindless "institution" then you should pay for it, if other's don't then...

Yep, sorry you do. Thanks for your life story. Nevertheless, sport should never be made something that overrides the purpose of a university as an academic institution. If sport was so brilliant at developing all these personal skills then it would have more than the paltry 25% participation...

This is just rubbish. If you want to "let off steam" that is your prerogative, but let it not be that of others who wish to diligently complete their degree. Other people have other methods of using their free time which does not financially impinge on other students. And frankly, the so-called...

Vote with your hip pocket and buy the Sydney Morning Herald.

I'm sure you'll agree that if it were up to Labor, the whole government would be on retirement pensions for simple spillages from their mouths.

Well you are clearly delusional. There is a clear difference between food, subsidised photocopying for academic purposes and competing in sporting activities which quite frankly, comprise one's leisure rather than enhancing one's ability in a certain field. Of course, universities are...

No-one is arguing against that.

I dare say, Bush and decency? What lubricity!

Have you forgotten to read my post? I actually said they do deserve basic services as you listed and Telstra should be held liable to provide those services. However, I would contend that internet access really isn't a necessity in the scheme of things.

Brodgen's comments simply highlight the failures of multiculturalism.

See it's this nationalistic nonsense that pervades this forum which is shrouding the true nature of the situation. Yes, the bush does deserve basic services and Telstra should be held liable for their provision, however, at the same time, it cannot be expected that companies provide...

Ah what brilliance you speak of! Who gives a damn about sport? If you want to proceed forth into the realms of mediocrity through sport, then do so - but not at the cost of other, more academically inclined students who wish to earn their degree and get into the workforce. It is a fallacy that...
