I feel sorry for Grech, I think he's just a scape goat for the Labor party in all this business. The poor guy apparently also has some kind of serious health condition he's dealing with.

Not the smartest move from the man who is the President of what will be a country with a Muslim majority in 15-20 years, but the 'right' decision nonetheless. You are wrong Jessica. While France was based upon the foundations of liberty and tolerance, a more important part of it is its...

Watching question time - very, very frustrating. Hardly democracy. What has Swan got to hide?

He wouldn't be calling it for the alcopops law, he'd be calling it because he is the more popular leader right now and if he were to win an election now, he'd be able to see the budget measures he has put in place actually happen. I can see plenty of reasons he would call an election for later...

Maybe it will trigger a double dissolution election, something they definitely don't want? Not happy about this - but don't be angry at the Liberals, they have been cornered into this by the Labor party and the blame lies solely with Chairman Rudd.

Would just like to clarify that I don't think women are more violent than men - I am just arguing that they are equally as violent, it is just less scrutinised and that perhaps they are less obvious about it than men are. I also think violence against women is completely fucked up, so even I'm...

'Husband-beating' on the rise Irons... hahaha... can you imagine! I don't think there is a rise, I think that 1. people are just reporting it more and 2. the police are taking it more seriously. From my experience the women I have known have been more violent. My dad has never laid a finger on...

It is stuffed up and wrong. I picked these options: Congratulations! According to one theory of personal identity, you have survived! You chose: Round 1: It's the spaceship for me! Round 2: Let the virus do its worst! Round 3: Freeze me! And yet it alluded to me selecting...

Has anyone done any of the international exchange programs like the working holiday ones, or more particularly, the work/ski program offered for Canada? How was it? What was good? What was bad? I'm seriously considering going to the Canada work/ski program next year, but I thought I...

I don't. I support the anti-electoral fraud cause in Iran, but it's not their place to take a political stand and publicly support a political party, which is similar enough to the current administration granted with a few basic humanitarian concessions like equality of the sexes - I can't see...

His Holocaust denial rhetoric merely contradicts any other claims he has that he has not let his anti-Zionism become anti-Semitism. On the other hand, Iran has an amazingly accepted and tolerated Jewish community, but this is more due to the lasting good grace of Ayatollah Kohmeini, the first...

You're right, everyone knows that the Palestinians will never accept this offer, but if you cannot see the progress in a predominately Right wing Israeli Government, with a part of its coalition representing the Settlers movement recognising the right to a Palestinian state, then you are blind...

Oh come on, ffs. It's quite clear what he's suggesting, that there be a temporary period of demilitarization. You're capable of making arguments that aren't full of generalisations, so argue them.

I don't think so. It's pretty big, a rigged national election in one of the hard line, arguably most important countries in the coming decade for the Middle East, not to mention the human rights violations that have since followed. Some reports are saying up to 20 protesters shot dead by...

Nup. In the current plan the Palestinians get an official Palestinian state and Israel will pretty much withdraw any existing occupation in the West Bank. A little haggling and they might get the whole West Bank and only a short term demilitarised period, even under the Netanyahu Government. It...

The world's media apologists are not supporting Ahmadinejad, thank God. I was expecting differently. Still won't change anything. There'll be a few protests, Ahmadinejad will crush them, do some other evil nasty stuff, the Ayatollah will support Ahmadinejad and then the world will forget and...

Jerusalem will never be divided again under this Government. It's not the best offer, anyone can see that - the Palestinians have to give up the right of return, parts of the West Bank and accept a demilitarised state. However, it is something from Netanyahu, that would likely have not occured...

Hehe. "The spider is more afraid of you than you are of it."

Now, don't go jumping to such huge conclusions. You see I put in a margin for error, saying it would lead to 'another' thing which would lead to Sharia courts. You just took it too far. Not cool.

Was about to ask :P Wouldn't doing this disrupt my plans to transfer into Law at the end of the year? Also, are the semester 1 units particularly hard, if I did have to do them during summer and will I be put at a disadvantage to other students by missing the Semester 1 units? I'm also worried...
