You fucking idiot, you have no idea how fucked CSU is for a lot of students. I, for one, can't afford textbooks I need for my course because I have to pay $500 of fucking Union fees.
liberal people (in the true sense of the word)
True sense of the word? You might like to go back to its origins, and find that in its true sense (as opposed to the bastardised American sense, which you seem to advocate) it means someone who's in favour of small government, freedom of the individual and market forces, and hence someone whose views are pretty much diametrically opposed to those of honi's editors.
Our Union contributions do more than just subsidise shit like Honi, Clubs + societies and parties anyway. there are so many support services that it funds as well as funding the SRC who basically protect our rights as a whole, and stop the university turning into the same totalitarian regime as in schools.
If I have a problem with the way a lecturer runs a course, or if there are too many people in my tute, I'll tell someone about it, and you'd be surprised how often things get fixed this way. If a group of people don't want to discuss problems with their lecturer, they deserve a shit education. Oh and as for the SRC supporting my rights, they seemed very quick to protest against the trial of those responsible for assaulting myself, the people around me, and police. Or is there something in the SRC constitution which states that right wingers and police don't have rights?
Plus, I'm sure when you turn 18/reach puberty you will appreciate a whole night of mad entertainment for only $5.
You pay more than that for it, through your Union contribution.
Fuck, I can't wait to meet some of you people on this site.
Why is that?
Gotta love a priori arguments
