    You're too nice to be Raistlin. As far I go, I'd probably say Albert (Deathgate Cycle) is closest to my personality. Sans the heroic tendencies though:p

    What is "soft law"?

    Re: Hey, 'soft law' question So in summary its something along the lines of an ideal rather than a law which is proposed by multinational agencies? If you mean the degree, Communication (Writing & Cultures) at UTS, if you mean the subject, Media - dealing with what rights the media has to...

    hottest male celebrity

    I think Ryan Phillipe used to be hot, but not so much anymore mainly because (at least for me) a lot of his hotness was rooted in his youthful facade (he looked so hawt in Cruel Intentions) and now thats faded away a little bit. Other actors seemed to have aged a lot better than Ryan (Clive Owen...

    What's your sexuality?

    You know you could just adopt when you're older, in the meantime your brothers/sisters/cousins will have kids of their own and there is no reason why you can't be involved to at least some extent in their lives. I gotta admit that I don't understand this...You have a friend that trusts you so...

    Julie Bishop's Vision for Education in Australia (Merged)

    Re: Julie Bishop's vision for education in Australia We've got that in NSW as well at the moment, it just seems there is zero interest on the behalf of the student body to get into it. It could probably be implemented better, however I don't think there is much incentive for the BOS and the...

    What is "soft law"?

    Re: Hey, 'soft law' question This may sound stupid...but how can it be a regulation if it cannot be enforced? Is it not then incapable of regulating an action and thus pointless? Or is it more an expression on what various states see as 'a pretty good idea that they cbb'd to legislate'?

    What is "soft law"?

    Hey guys, I just wanted to ask what exactly a 'soft law' is? As I'm having trouble understanding the given explanations in my texts and from google - I'm not even sure if a soft law is actually a law...:confused: It'd be wonderful if any of you law minded individuals could lend me a little...

    IB (at private school) or HSC (at selective school)??

    I would probably go for the IB - from what I recall a bare pass in that is valued similar to someone who got approx 78/79 for their UAI while getting even ten marks above a pass is enough to get you into practically everything at USYD. You also get a wider range of subjects in the IB (*sigh*...

    new sydney uni degrees

    I can just imagine how horrendous that would be to get into, get a 99.95 UAI, pwn the UMAT, pwn the medical interview AND pwn the music audition. The effort to get in would have killed me.:/ Hrmm, interestingly USYD has released a whole bunch of new courses: BA (Digital Technology & Culture)...

    Picking up an extra degree

    When did I become a she?:o Anyways, I thought I'd update this with what I've discovered... I called up both UNSW and USYD and the answer there was a fairly emphatic 'no', as for these institutions it would have to be on a FEE-HELP basis and they wouldn't give credit between degrees...

    Ambiguity regarding Conventions of Crime Fiction

    From my memory, one of the key lessons for this module was that conventions are not absolute rather they are shifting products of their contexts so that there is usually not a complete uniformity between different subgenres and their conventions ( Ms. Marple series versus Big Sleep for...

    Subgenres of crime fiction

    It is always a pleasure when someone attempts to engage with their material Porcia. While I'm posting I'd also like to apologise for not getting back to you about your Extension 2 piece again, I do hope it goes well for you though.:) I would note that as a critical thinker it is hoped you...

    Lifts 1 and 2 only stopping at a few floors

    I think that its because a lot of restoration is going on with various parts of the building and the construction workers. Don't quote me on it though. It is just a tad hard to always use the stairs with the tower building.:p

    others ways to enter UWS apart from the UAI

    Don't worry, you'll get them this year after most of your exams (I think) if you sat the RET session at UWS.

    Julie Bishop's Vision for Education in Australia (Merged)

    Re: Julie Bishop's vision for education in Australia I think people are taking it out of context when they see the words 'gay colony' as no 13 year old would know enough about the subject matter to make it overly about sex and sexuality. It is probably just an exercise in getting the student...

    Subgenres of crime fiction

    An important point to note, and I don't know whether your teacher has covered this or not, but genres and time periods are not the same thing. While there are a number of trends and subgenres that have developed in this contemporary period, there isn't exactly a contemporary sub-genre. It is...
