    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    It's interesting how people make assumptions about others lives- like assuming they have no experience with the adf.

    Should we reduce the refugee intake?

    If someone enters our waters without permission, we should sink them without asking questions. And a nation with as small a population as Australia shouldn't have to take in refugees AT ALL.

    Trial Discussion Thread.

    I know this feel. Was terrible for physics, my mark was 'relatively' good, but I couldn't help feeling cheated in the areas I lost a mark (extremely vague marking schemes). Yet I couldn't say anything in front of others.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    I didn't. That extrapolation was directed to a situation in which "women are incompetent in anything remotely physical"- an idea which I assured you, I have not implied in any way. I have simply stated that standards are lower and hence it is possible for incompetent women to be present within...

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    That's not how it was meant to be read. Let's try this again. My first post "There a less direct ways of being responsible for death through incompetency." was the first to which you responded, and now I refer you back to it.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    Also; I'm flattered that you refer to me as multiple entities, but I assure you this is not the case (as far as I know).

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    I refer you back to the first post of mine to which you responded "There a less direct ways of being responsible for death through incompetency." Also; I don't understand your use of 'delineate' in this context. Please explain

    Should I confront my teacher about this?

    No. First place is a special case- you are exempted from have marks totalled and moderated with the body of the cohort. What I was saying is that- gaining 2 marks across 2 assessments won't translate to gaining 2 marks overall- UNLESS your assessment worth /30 was worth 30% of your overall...

    Which do you prefer wealth creation or wealth redistribution?

    Wealth creation with selective distribution? Higher income for workers and resourcers- give more to the man who farms the crop than he who distributes it.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    I did not make this argument at all. I was commenting on the grammatical logic of the statement "women are incompetent", with reference to your incorrect interpretation of it. Overall it had nothing to do with the argument and was a pointless side thing which caused you more confusion than it...

    Should I confront my teacher about this?

    Does not compute. 1/30xweighting + 1/50x weighting= 2/100 overall? Unlikely.

    Business/commerce (applied finance)

    Anything at a G8 uni is good. (Prestige) I'm not saying that nong8 unis are bad. From there just see what field appeals to you.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    This is assuming your own statement that "women are incompetent with anything remotely physical". This would be much easier if you went back and read everything properly.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    1. I was just pointing out that the nature of the statement "Women are incompetent" does not logically suggest ALL women, it just ascertains that incompetent women exist. The number of women who are incompetent is greater than or equal to two is an equivalent statement. 2. I never at any point...

    ATAR ESTIMATE please! :)

    Pride, if you dun goofed your externals you could potentially get 70. At this stage; 98 is definitely achievable, and probable even. Same can be said for 95.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    Of course not- that's assuming that "women are incompetent with anything remotely physical". I can't think of the appropriate word- a theoretical idea was made up and assuming that is true I came up with a figure which is impossible to verify. Imagine a woman dropping her grenade because...

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    If I did "flat out say that women are incompetent"- that statement does not within itself address ALL women or accuse ALL women of being incompetent. Women are incompetent. The same can be said for any race or gender- there is no "perfect" group which contains no imperfect or incompetent bodies...

    Lets not go there- if you need to ask, I won't convince you.

    Sexism - The experiences of women and men

    No. You assume that I assume. A single case of someone dying as a result of an incompetent woman being giving a job she can't handle is bad enough. The implications of the assumption you mentioned are absolutely atrocious. I would say that 95%+ of australian deaths would be due to incompetent...

    2013 Federal election

    Looks like all Labor has to offer is gimmicks. But hell, it's worked before. The reason JG ever got in power was because she was Australia's opportunity to have a first female prime minister.
