I don't disagree. I don't look at a persons race or their skin colour, everyone is a member of the homo sapien species. But I do care for a person's ideology- which doesn't fit in as nicely with your second point about what god they believe in. I agree that it is frivolous to instantly...

That may be true, but it isn't explicit in the article. I interpreted it as more to do with her hatred of their ideology. Not that I like Hanson, but Asians are not Caucasian and she stated that she would not have problem selling to Australian Asians.

In the end though, it would depend on Pauline's economic rationality. If demand was high, she could afford to price discriminate against Muslims (I personally admit that I would for similar reasons against evangelical Christians if they were buying my property). If demand was low and she...

I'm not really sure if it's newsworthy. Not that I agree with her position, but I wouldn't say it is overtly racist. Why? Well, Islam is a religion that is adopted by people of all races. Unless she specifies, there is nothing here that is inherently against ethnicity. She simply disagrees...

In other words ignore what you KNOW is evil and continue to "see" only the good parts because your too scared/cbf to challenge the presumptions that you were indoctrinated with.

Turnbull would of been my vote for PM. Now all good things have come to an end... Rudd or Abbot? It's time for the dummy vote.

True, but actuarial science is not offered as a major in all BCom degrees across uni's. For instance, if you go to UOW (my uni) Finance would be the most mathematical major... Also, I would argue that actuarial science is NOT really a commerce major...certainly fits within the applied...

Lol don't fear its all cool...its only an internet forum after all, its actually impossible to offend me (and I'm guessing 99% of the people on here). Its a serious question for the theist as to whether, given the assumption that God exists, he is the foundation of our ethical system. As you...

The university is currently under a mass audit. That is the reason :)

It's nice to know that the only reason why you act moral is through fear of God. What kind of morality, if it can be said to be at all, is that? I would definitely commit to the second option; in fact, I feel that I am ethically obliged to. It's a commitment to doing well for my fellow man, a...

Well finance is probably the most mathematical of the commerce majors (unless you do mathematical economics) so given that engineers have quite developed maths skills, it is probably the most appealing/easy.

Hi, I've almost completed my commerce degree at UOW with a Finance major (only have 2 subjects to go). Few things: 1) I would, at minimum, complete 2U maths. The finance major basically becomes a "watered down" applied maths major- it's just all formulae and lots of algebra. This is not...

Only out to provide that feeback but I can already seem some large flaws. How did you come to this conclusion? If we all are deluded by subjective bias, the corollary is on what basis can you determine an apple is not an apple? Are you making a universal statement that perceptionism is real...

Assume God exists. - Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God? To this day this very pertinent question deserves due contemplation by the theist and is an important consideration for the atheist when launching...

Rubbish creationist lies. Do a geology course.

This question is not copyrighted to Hitchens (though he puts it quite succinctly), it should occur to any serious person who challenges the rationality of the Abrahamic faiths within the CONTEXT of time itself. Notice, as always, the religious apologists have deviated from the question and...

FreshOffTheBoat: Re-read your posts, do you not think they reek of a little med-induced snobbery? Modesty should be the aim of all great doctors. I don't deny that Medicine is overall the hardest to enter (though I think Law @ USYD is harder); there is an undergrad dent course at some...

The bloke's name is "theism" what do you expect?

The difference between psych and psychiatry is massive. To do psychiatry you complete an MBBS plus postgraduate fellowship training. A psych degree is not required and imo unnecessary,

I'm doing Comm/Sci, Finance & Geology. Obviously it doesn't fully overlap, however there are niche opportunities to combine the too. Plus, the science component adds to my breath of knowledge, is enjoyable and includes cool field trips.
