    Help me out of my Fitness First membership

    Gyms are shockers when it comes to signing contracts. If there's a 'cooling off' clause in the contract then that stands and you should be able to cancel the membership (perhaps you'll have to foot a small bill to do so). If they refuse to allow you to back off from it, then contact legal...

    It's over red rover

    He was always aware of the dangers of Climate Change. Remember, he was the environment Minister for a fair while. It's just that he had to pander to the party room for a while in order to secure his footing as leader, not that it helped. Hopefully if he goes down it is not spectacularly and he...

    War on Terror..Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.

    The U.S have supported the Taliban and Sadaam in the past and the 4 reasons you have identified for the invasions are correct, but you are wrong, the 'War on Terror' is not a facade for 'U.S Imperialism.' Welcome to the world of politics and intrigue where your closest ally can become your...

    India's economic growth likely to overtake China's

    This. Despite Bollywood, I believe I can reconcile myself with Indian culture over Chinese when we are eventually invaded by one of the two. Plus Indian food > Chinese food. On that note: Heard a funny joke today "how do you know when an indian is hungry? when his arse stops burning." So true.

    Israel and Palestine

    Re: Israel & Palestine I find arguing on the point to be pointless and particularly childish, for reasons you have partly pointed out. Israel already exists and it isn't going anywhere, so exploring "who was there first" is on the same level as two kids arguing over "who started it." It's...

    The 'perfect' soldier?

    Most advances in broader areas of technology and science have come through the necessity that comes as a result of war and arms races. So research away.

    All for it. Research away.

    Indian killer driver fled Australia on false passport

    Yes. Because the 'majority' of Australians hate Christians.

    Indian killer driver fled Australia on false passport

    India is clearly a racist country as a result of this.

    Oh, shucks *blushes* but yeah, I'm aiming for high 80's - I'm good at English/Humanitarian subjects, but unfortunately they get you nowhere quickly in VCE. There are pros and cons of Melbourne Arts vs. Monash Arts (or Arts/Law for that matter). But as a result of the city location, easy public...

    Iran to have nuclear weapon by next year

    True as per their current defence capabilities. However the new Arrow defence system which has almost been developed has multi anti-missile defence capabilities. But there is always a margin of error, and you're right, a missile could get through. Nevertheless, I fully doubt Iran would ever...

    Rudd plans to lower voting age to 16

    Old. These twats support mandatory 50:50 male-female members in parliament.

    Poland okays forcible castration for pedophiles

    The 'castration' is chemically, let's just make that clear - they're not cutting these guys balls off. Nevertheless... I want them to be punished as much as anyone else, but you simply cannot make any submissions when it comes to human rights. You give a finger - or a testicle - and soon...

    Iran to have nuclear weapon by next year

    Israel has had nuclear weapons during many wars, one of which seriously threatened it's existence, and yet it has never made any overtures to use them, unlike Iran. But in this aspect, maybe Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, is correct: "When Israelis talk a lot, it means that they will do...

    Israel and Palestine

    Re: Israel & Palestine I do agree that oil is the foremost motivation and I am willing to admit that Israel's possession of nuclear weaponry has further motivated the Arab states to have nuclear weapon capabilities, but they would have aimed for it anyway. Anyway, ignoring that, you've just...

    Hey, no worries. Arts/Law at Monash is at the top of my preferences, but not only do I not think I'll get into it, but I don't want to, I really want to get into Arts at Melbourne Uni. Pretty sure you won't end up in the streets if you don't get into Arts/Law at Monash :p. Finishing year 12...

    Israel and Palestine

    Re: Israel & Palestine He was talking about the British Mandate, Nebs. The Egyptians have no relevance in his argument, so no, you're wrong. His argument is both factually and theoretically incorrect. The British left before the State of Israel was created, not after, as he said. He also says...

    Will Rudd surpass Keating?

    My uncle, who works for Telstra gave me that tip, don't know how right he is though, but he is a big geek about this stuff. I think he's right though, I can see wireless as becoming a viable high speed alternative to broadband within the next 10 years. You've got your facts right about current...
