No, I'm an atheist.

In many cultures and religions, life begins at conception, and not birth. This happens to be a viewpoint I agree with.

And I think that both are the same.

Of course it's a delicate situation. But what are people here advocating? Presumptions that the mother must have carte blanche power? I don't see anybody else here even considering the other side of the argument. A good decision comes from weighing up the consequences of different paths of...

I work extensively with men's rights groups, including Dads on the Air (from which the statistic of 60% comes). A glimpse at their forums (http://forum.dadsontheair.com/) would be enough to tell you that men Don't get a say in their children's upbringings if their partners/former partners don't...

In the Australian Legal system, it is next to impossible for a non-custodial father to avoid paying exorbitant child support - a substantial proportion of which is eaten up by the Child Support Agency and various feminist organisations attached to it. The following arguments are mine, but...

Mao Zedong, Mark Latham, Anthony Warlow. There are others, but these three will do.

It takes two to tango, and I think it's disgusting that women can think that men have absolutely nothing at stake in the abortion debate.

Almost all subjects in almost all faculties are out of 100.

Re: Knocking off to Ruse One of my students transferred to Ruse after a few years at Girra, and then transferred out of Ruse as quickly as she could, because she was so disgusted by the hyper-competitive environment. I am reminded of a story from my own school days, when back in 2002 as year 12...

Re: 0rientation Week Of course it is. And you'll soon find that a lot of what the student unions do are designed to be discriminatory. The ISA is the alternative. www.isa-usyd.org

Bonsai! BONSAI! www.quahbonsai.com

Buy bonsai instead of flowers. Flowers die after two days, which is ironic since they're supposed to represent eternal love. Bonsai live longer than anybody on this board ever will. In fact, if you come to my nursery Today (closing time late), I will give you a 10% discount on any bonsai you...

Re: 0rientation Week O-week is gonna be the proverbial bitch for me. 6am starts on the Wednesday and Thursday, promoting ISA from Wednesday to Friday until at leat 6pm, and then I'm conducting concerts from Wednesday through Saturday at Macquarie Uni from 8pm until 11pm.

Avoid pop for good marks.

Dr. Jennie Shaw, who's currently Chair of Musicology at the Con not only has degrees in both Music and Law, but has also lectured and published in both fields.

I think there's a good argument to be made in suggesting that food services on campus could do with some variety (not to mention some quality). On the face of it, the Union's food model (like in Wentworth, where there are like 5 food outlets all serving the same food) works to keep costs down -...

Not restricting it. Just reminding people that there are consequences to it too. What's wrong with that?

The foetus SHOULD have those rights and responsibilities. We're not talking about what is, but what should be. It's just another form of dependence. Can a newborn baby survive without adult intervention? Can a 5 year old? Can an 85 year old? This isn't an existential argument...

Don't be stupid. An embryo, foetus, baby, infant, adolescent and adult are human lives because they are built upon the the 46 chromosomes that are the building blocks of our sentient species. The distinction between a cancer and an embryo is that a cancer is a "class of diseases characterised by...
