grow up

I agree with trina233, why be here, sitting infront of your beloved computer writting, oh so witty attacks to a person just trying to voice an opinion!
oh, and what the hell is 'mouldy automaton'?. You must know alot about it since thats whats growing in your pants. dont worry lack of sexual action can turn anyone agressive.
have fun, little lonely boy

- Lame insults
- Pot calling the Kettle Black (incase you didn't realise honey, you just used a computer to write a 'witty' attack on us, due to our opinions).
- Probably going to die lonely.

Well these days, with mass media, and the availability for ourselves to create our own media... I think the protest is a little less attractive. What about all the people posting disenting opinion on popular blogs? What about the chaser guys that have been able to make popular film to voice their opinion?

I do agree perhaps one of the reasons they are now less popular is their stigma, but I think another important aspect is their lack of direct personal communication that can be fulfilled by other means.

there are of course many ways to voice opinion, though those media examples you give ultimately preach the converted. a protest is personal and can confront audiences that it normally wouldn't through films, blogs etc.

if you're referring to the young liberals involvement at one of the VSU marches then it is irrelevant

in most reports i've read Nelson has refused to meet student opposition

It's not only Nelson that does that. I've emailed Ms Jackson many times asking for justification for certain comments she's made, and the only time she responded was when i pretended to be pro-USU.

regrettable
though ms jackson isn't the one making policies

may i ask why, by the way, you actually care so much about VSU since it's going to be passed anyway?

 

[Not-That-Bright]

oh come on it doesn't matter, she should have responded to him just as much as nelson should reply to those who he has time to respond to.

No one is ever going to ban abortions, but I still see alot of people bitching about it? The idea is to have debate with the other side on the issue, instead of just sitting back and not caring because you have the power.

Who knows? You might learn something from them and change your mind.

i agree she should have responded

though a letter to the SRC president is different to thousands of students seeking discussions over government policy affecting students

there is certainly stubborness on both sides but it is worth noting Nelson's position

But she's at the forefront of trying to change them.

something you might want to take back to your young lib conventions

the government should heed this advice

 

[walrusbear]

But she's at the forefront of trying to change them.

or to be more accurate she's trying to prevent bad policy

i should have directed that to waf

haha. Yes, you are of course an entirely different person than that "Trina" character

I also love your air-tight logic that a person who proves you wrong must have no sex life. Apart from the fact that you are actually incorrect (surprise surprise), you just made yourself look incredibly stupid by telling people off for writing insults, then going ahead and attempting (poorly) to do so yourself.

[chubbaraff]

Isnt this thread about high school activism. Im just finishing Year 12 now and even though it was hard in year 12... in year 11 its really all i did, and i got better marks at the same time. We made the paper a number of times, to a point were people stop me in the street, but yeh its kinda unfortunate that opportism seems to get into a lot of other campaigns. It was good with the lot i worked in coz it was what james mentioned, decided upon as a group. Anyway the main issue we kicked a stink about was the voting age, and we were asking it to be 16, and all the pollies agreed ay... Labor, Green and Socialist (Liberal refused to attend). We also had a mock ballot at school that the school endorsed and they let us leaflet, it was a catholic school. to any dudes in year 10, here, which is unlikely there are mostly 2nd year uni opportunists, who have tall poppyseed syndrome and angry at their inability to be a high school activist whinging and moaning. High school activists stand for positions and can, with the right training and education insightfully argue about social policy better then a lot of registered voters.

I hope you too, are dissapointed

haha. Yes, you are of course an entirely different person than that "Trina" character

I also love your air-tight logic that a person who proves you wrong must have no sex life. Apart from the fact that you are actually incorrect (surprise surprise), you just made yourself look incredibly stupid by telling people off for writing insults, then going ahead and attempting (poorly) to do so yourself.

-Moonlight sonata, (I like your name by the way) (no "eyes rolling", by the way)
Firstly I was never proven wrong.
Secondly, I didn't write that insult, but if you'd like to believe that go ahead I can see how it would support your superficial argument.

If you had read my responses before more closely, you may have noticed I try to remain as diplomatic as the person is I am replying to.
Yet, despite being slightly dissapointed in the way people on here can't substantiate their facts, and this tends to make their counter arguments simplisitic and illogical. I would never refer to these flaws being related to 'no sex life'.
cheers, katrina

Trina,
I think you're up yourself and your arguments are simplistic and illogical.

Yours diplomatically,
