    Marriage equality

    I will always have the belief, unless it is proven to me otherwise, that Citizen watches are better than Nike watches. We will never have a homogenous society and that's fine. But some opinions are damaging and objection to marriage equality is one of them. I am sure there are lots more...

    Marriage equality

    Just as an independent side note, it really upsets me that any advocation of marriage equality encounters religious objection, as it changes the direction of the argument from discussion of a civil and social issue to a discussion of religion, and that was something I was trying to avoid when I...

    Marriage equality

    I didn't draw a connection for anybody to appreciate. I was merely pointing out that any community, no matter how small or powerless still requires attention and support. This might be a difficult concept for the religious to accept. They've had the numbers and they've been in power for too long.

    Marriage equality

    If you had a reason accompanying your opinion, we'd have something to talk about.

    Marriage equality

    So the government hasn't done all it can! Discrimination still exists. So called discrimination? You need to first accept that your objection to marriage equality is still discrimination based on the ground of sexual preference. Then you can move onto discussing why this type of discrimination...

    Marriage equality

    Nah, I just wanted to emphasise that I respect you as a person and you as a debater and that I am not going to allow my difference of opinion spark personal hostility. I'll reply to the rest of your post tomorrow. Have a good evening.

    Marriage equality

    Ooh look at the score in that gif, man. There's a reason the Jaguars supporter is baffled. In all seriousness, I value your input. We clearly have different points of view and you do have some arguments that are worth listening to.

    Marriage equality

    Did not say that. Was not doing that. Yes. Discrimination is a landmine. Nah... Normal Christianity is bad enough. I'd argue that discriminating against gays in the 21st century is the equivalent of locking them up in the 20th. Gays are still being reprimanded, they are still being scorned...

    Marriage equality

    Replace LGBTI with Aboriginal and you'll see how inappropriate that "argument" is. That's the point! Why do you disapprove? Because a book full of historical and societal nonsense, which was once-upon-a-time useful but has now served its purpose, says so? If that's not your reason, I am...

    Marriage equality

    I never said all Liberals are bigots nor did I say that everybody who votes Liberal is a loser. I merely implied that for some people, marriage equality is such a big issue that they'd have Liberal rather than Labor in office, even though in many fields Liberal is not delivering.

    UTS subject enrolment issue

    A subject is planned mainly in two cases: 1) you're not yet eligible for the subject because you haven't done the prerequisite subject(s). 2) you are eligible but the subject is full. I would have recommended to you to put in an e-request via mystudent, but because we're already a week (or 3...

    Post your 2015 ATAR here!

    Second year in uni and [insert adjective] people still talking about their ATARs every once in a while.

    I failed my DKT, how long do I need to wait?

    You may be able to pay and sit again straight away IF there is a time slot available. The rule says you have to wait two weeks but that's only to manage bookings.

    Marriage equality

    I think so too. It wouldn't work out too well for them because in 2016 and in Australia, there are still religious bigots and sore dick florists and bakers who'd vote Liberal just to protect their outdated opinions and monopoly on the society.

    Recommended number of units for Y11

    I did 13 in year eleven and 14 in year twelve but it was too much. Worked out well for me but I had a hard time coping with everything and to be honest, now I see there was no point. I'd say max 12 units or 7 subjects (incl. extensions), which is what they all recommend. Sent from my iPhone...

    Marriage equality

    A secular government is neutral on matters of belief in the sense that it is unmoved by religious values and religious lobbyists, not in the sense that it is passive on such issues. That would be correct, if we were talking about a priest being forced to bless a gay couple, or a Muslim being...

    Marriage equality

    See, when a secular government extends the right of ceremonial marriage to gay people, it shall no longer be seen as something odd or an option in the eye of the religious person in the workplace. That's how secular governments work. You don't want something like that to happen, you move to one...

    Marriage equality

    Handling pork directly and negatively affects the Muslim employee and it is a legitimate religious concern. Gay marriage does not directly and negatively affect the religious and the sects. Of course, you can claim that it does based on evidence and appropriate points of argument.

    Textbooks

    Why do I feel like you're talking about Brown's Criminal Laws: Materials and Commentary? Edit: My bad, you're talking about business. Generally speaking, for engineering, IT, mathematics and similar subjects in which content doesn't change much, one or max two editions doesn't make a difference...

    Which major is best?

    You do realise that each major will take you down a completely different career path, right? Majors and electives are not the same thing. What sort of career are you looking for? By the way, if you have already done Communication for IT Professionals, they would have talked about the different...
