So it is your assertion that everyone beyond the immediate parameters of Catholicism, are inclined or willed by "wicked ways", myself included. Well, that really settles it. I won't resort to ad hominem attacks, but is that Margaret Thatcher that I see in your display picture? How unbecoming...

The Vatican sounds a lot like the equivalent of the United Nations, only, with vested interests and completely non-secular. I don't understand the purpose of the Vatican or the position of the Pope, other than being mere puppetry, in a gilded basilica. A bit superfluous, no? Well, I suppose...

I think that you have a good understanding of the nature of history/memory. I find that you also reference things from the Fiftieth Gate etc, but what you need to do is, STATE --> EXPLAIN --> PROVE. You can say that history is an aggregate of events, documented by people, and claims to be...

Please explain, how succumbing to homosexuality, for all BoSers to discern, is a sin, and how you can break free from something that's apparently, inherent to your genetic make up. Maybe even start a different thread dedicated to it, explain it and then end it with "Discuss". I am very...

Oh yeah, definitely. How much of it is quality and logically constructed though, is the main issue.

The real umat exam? I'd totally want a copy. :p

Thanks Katie, at least you got my line of argument. But Iron, the thing is, arguably, lots of homosexuals do NOT have a choice, just like, down-syndrome kids don't have a choice. So the issue here is, homosexuality is advised against in your perspective, solely because it goes against the...

Well Iron, I suppose I'd like to know why, you would try to get the greatest number of 'believers', when you know that numbers are irrelevant. e.g. Non-believing masses who call themselves Catholics. It can be argued that faith is a matter of choice, and homosexuality, may not be, but as...

I think the debate between the ethics of gay marriage etc. IS subjected to human rationality. So in that context, how are we to determine if it is to be legally permissible? I don't think it matters per se that homosexuals can't reproduce; that wasn't the point. It was just a possible reason...

[FONT=Arial]Doesn't say much tbh, and it's incorrect. History is disputed. You can do without. You don't need these kind of statements. Be succinct.

I love Muse and I love love love Queen. But no I haven't heard the song.

Doesn't that make the large majority of people under the banner of Catholicism, not Catholic?

That's pretty annoying, I must concede. :p

As for the idea of love, I think per person, we genuinely care for a very minute portion. We can be compassionate, but at the forefront of our minds, we operate within the Monkeysphere so to speak. What is the Monkeysphere? | Cracked.com As for being gay, I kind of equated it to what...

Not really. You're 'out of the zone' after you're done, which might inhibit your overall performance.

Haha, that's really relevant actually. In the actual HSC exam, you are probably in a better position to argue how people dont belong etc, than belonging per se. My school teacher varies. Anywhere from 7-10.

As someone who is going this HSC this year, it's quite demanding, for a one unit subject, I'll give you that. You get A LOT more work in year 12, in eng adv AND eng ext 1. I think it's interesting, and it's much more focused, because you just have the one topic for the entire year. Mine is...

You haven't seen Kings (5 criket field, 20 soccer fields, 20 tennis courts, cross country). Joeys, Riverview, Shore, Pymble (10 soccer field size, nearly 2000 students, even have a golf course next door), Grammar (3 campus with huge grounds). Well... High got huge fields in the city. Boat...

As mentioned above, I was under the impression the founders of America, were intent in creating a secular nation. The current religious/political climates says otherwise; it seems to be Christian-conservative. As for Australia, Rudd is quite a conservative Christian himself. However, I find...

Down syndrome and aiming for a 70+ ATAR; wow. I know a lot of people who don't have any intellectual disabilities and their ATAR is <70. If the principal's actions/motivations are based on her academic performance, that's just sheer discrimination. I find that unlikely though. Anyway, there...
