Quite frankly I don't give a damn if people don't buy anything Asking customers if they need any help is a requirement that, once ticked off, I can get back to what I'm doing. It's not like we want to be bugging people.

Thanks lol, but I can't take credit for the very concise and handy counterclaims of talkorigins.org

Courtesy of talkorigins.org -- ------------------- Claim: Intelligent design has explanatory power. Response: 1. Merely accounting for facts does not make a theory scientific. Saying "it's magic" can account for any fact anywhere but is as far from science as you can get. A theory has...

The whole thing, it just seems a bit of a non sequitur

No, seriously, they are really bad theories. And even the basic argument from design, Palley's watch, comes up over and over again by theists even though it was killed off over two hundred years ago by Hume.

What???????

Have you noticed sometimes Goren imitates the people he talks to - their body language, movements, etc? lol very funny when you catch it

That's a bit of an exaggeration, especially the white supremecy part. I suppose Miranda Devine or Pauline Hanson might hint at that, but short of extremists people aren't generally going to react that way. Nonetheless whatever people may use the reports for, these are facts here that need to be...

Yes I take your point but like I said that doesn't mean we should always shut our eyes to any bad effects whatsoever from foreign students just to be unnecessarily politically correct. A particular group of people causing a bad thing can just be a fact. It's one thing not to stereotype on racist...

You can also submit a portfolio for consideration for the B. IT at USyd (probably the most prestigious computer degree in the country), based on previous programming experience if you don't make the cut-off.

I think the correct version of your signature quote is; "If you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart. If you're not conservative when you're old, you have no brain."

It does have those connotations, but if they are causing standards to be lowered then that actually is a bad effect isn't it? I'm not suggesting they should be removed or something equally absurd, but just because it sounds bad doesn't mean we should censor it to be politically correct, when in...

Ah that's quite interesting - because I would probably rather jump straight to the bar. I thought experience as a solicitor is a necessity at first, because of lack of connections, etc

I'll have to get you to assign one of your underlings to do my accounting/tax for me lol no chance in hell I'm going to HC though, insane pressure, INSANE!

In my experience, international students say nothing in class and write huge bibles of notes. It's nothing to do with their effort. But I do agree that replacing critical thinking modes of evaluation, such as essays, with simpler means such as multiple choice is lowering the standards. It is...

Ugh god no. Let the commerce students go for that one. It's commercial litigation for me then off to the bar. ...and then maybe the bench in about 35 years from now :)

War in certain circumstances is wrong, those circumstances being many and frequent. But you cannot simply say that 'war is wrong' without consideration of the consequences and situation. If you take a very basic example to illustrate the utilitarian point - white lies. Sometimes you might...

BDW gave me beer during my prac moot at their offices :)

Can't go past Kristin Kreuk for prettiest- :o
