Try using something other than an ellipsis to show you are pausing. I mean, there are so many to choose from - comma, semi-colon, full stop. Surely that ellipsis needs some work-life balance.

oh god this guy is terrible. I dont even know where to start but he'll just keep pushing his erroneous points
How else am i meant to distinguish between the two ? its irritating writing anglo saxon over n over again. australian just comes much easier. But youd be surprised to know im actually accepted quite well. Im quite friendly face to face n talk to anyone regardless of where theyre from so feeling accepted isnt really a problem for me. However, when i hear people brag about this country and tell other nash's to get out, that really hits a nerve. Because as that film so very well put it, you either came here as convicts in chains or as fobs in planes, so no one should be doing any bragging or telling anyone to get out.
I lived in Canberra for 4 years ( 03- 06 ) and it is all australian there. I can tell you now i have a pretty good idea of the ' aussie ' culture/lifestyle. Its pretty homogeneous. Like i said, most of my ' assumptions ' as you like to call it, has been based on experiences.
Oh & the medical profession is a very satisfying/fulfilling profession. And even if youre bored at work, you have to work half the hours and can make double what you would in labour and have enough time to spend with the ones you love doing what you love. Tht being said, i dont like anyone that goes into medicine for money. It in itself is quite enjoyable. You meet so many different kinds of people, and can help people with their most intimate problems. It carries a lot of trust and responsibility which anyone would be happy to have, i think anyway.

I love that even in parting, Hanson can create racial and religious divides. Good work, kids.

I just wanna ask, how far your arts degree has taken you ? and Why you're now getting into law. Possibly because arts has not many career opportunities associated with it, and is pretty much a pointless course? See our parents would probably tell us that to save us wasting 3 years. So wed probably make a compromise of some sort, ie: combined degree.[/quote]
I did an internship with the department of justice.
I also won a $6000 scholarship to work overseas for a month at a think tank
All law students do two degrees, I merely decided to go graduate law over combined law; the net outcome is that same.
I loved my undergraduate degree a lot but i knew at the end that I would be facing academia (i had the grades to do hons, and phd) or some kind of govt public servant (which wasn't really my thing). I think you should just study something you enjoy and you will eventually find your niche.
And yes asian parents do force their kids into medicine, just about every asian/indian student in my hsc classes sat the umat. Don't tell me they all unequivocally wanted to do med because they were passionate vs parental pressure.
If you consider university to be some kind of glorified trade school that only exists to give people their certifications you're missing the whole point of academia. No subject is inherently less 'useless' as anything else.

thats because of stupidity...in England if you say asian you are generally referring to pakistanis or middle-easterners

omgd sounds like a highschooler, but is so so ignorant.
It's quite sad really he/she can't consider the views of others and then refutes them with crap that had nothing to do with the intent of the original statments.

Are you really saying this ? lol. I havent seen you refute to any of my so called ' crap ' aside from the comment about arts which i see has hit a nerve. wonder why.
and fyi no im not a med student im a law student just like u. my parents wouldve preferred that i do med, but everyone parents have something they want their kids to do, ultimately however, they told me to do what i want, i had the marks for both but ive always liked law. does that answer your question ? or are you going to justify my answer with some random theory you pull out of ur ass ?
I really dont know what youre talking about anymore :S Bangladeshis only go to the temple if theyre hindu, which is only 10% of Bangladesh. But i dont see how this is relevant to anything we were talking about ? And uhm yes we eat curry just like asians eat rice and you eat mashed potatoes and peas. Whats your point ? ( And yes i am aware of the huge stereotype there... i have no idea where youre going with this ? )

maybe because im an "australian"...even though my mums english...my parents never wanted me/forced me to do anything i didnt want to do...
maybe european culture is different :S
Getting into medicine isnt a piece of cake. No one would give half their youth away slaving away for a course they have no passion in. If it generates money thats just a benefit that comes with it, but you cant think all med students only do med for the money. Money isnt enough motivation. But again, totally besides the point. I have no idea where youre going with this either. It seem as though now youre pick pointing every tiny thing to make a point n prove me wrong somehow or something, because youve completely lost the plot of this discussion, if thats what it even is.

lol lost the plot...no...i was just telling you that medicine is a business, and you are unwise to think not...but i dont want to get into "conspiracy theories"....i was just letting you know...
Im not saying forced, im saying everyone will have dreams for their kids, that doesnt necessarily mean youll force them into living out your dreams ( this is what slide seems to think ). Surely youd prefer your kids to get into a line of profession that you respect rather than becoming a garbage man or a hooker ? ( extreme example, but generally highlights the idea)
