    ATTN: People not cool enough to be invited to Nolan's. ITT: we election watch.

    He's going to need to get his speech ready sometime soon, Obama's way ahead of him. BBC News still at Obama: 103, McCain 49. Edit: I heard Fox News is biased towards McCain? For a while, The Economist was as well.

    Anyone else find physics really... well random?

    I was expecting more calculation questions... And I was surprised that there was no projectile motion questions in the short answer section, there's always been one in the past...

    General Thoughts - Physics

    I was surprised at there being only 1 projectile motion question (and being multiple choice, too!). Usually, projectile motion is worth 5-6 marks in the paper. Overall it was a pretty good paper. I'm thinking I got 80-85.

    Violent music and violent games make kids violent.

    Slashdot and Ars Techina beg to differ here: http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/01/222235 http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20070301-8959.html These articles seem to suggest that people make this conclusion (that "violent music and violent games make kids violent") to account...

    Where do you stand?

    I've never known where I really stand. Most people tell me I'm moderate left, but: Overall, the PoliticsForum quiz considers you an individually-orientated, materialist, small-government, free-trade, non-absolutist, kind of person. These characteristics would put you in the overall category of...

    Philosophy

    Well it wasn't just philosophy, it came up in a religion discussion. I was saying that religion wasn't the only source of morals/ethics, and that some philosophical texts also had them. Some people in my class really thought that you can't be moral without being religious.
