    Bias and 'our' ABC

    I think that's a nice example that he's right. Fox news is clearly a very successful attempt by Murdoch to win ratings by appealing to the previously ignored religious right. If there wasn't the huge audience for it, Fox news wouldn't be so conservative.

    The ultimate line-up

    I could've just put a picture of a cock as my avatar but I went the subtle road.

    The ultimate line-up

    I like threads where a lot of people reply yet nobody answers the first post. HAHA OIS your username only deserves an initialism OIS! And you probably thought that I was going to answer the first post. But I'm not. See?

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    Yes. She would be the one having to endure pregnancy. My sole contribution to the foetus would have been fertilising it. Why would it be fine that I chose that the baby should be born, against the mother's wishes? I know you like men oppressing women, but I'm kinda into the whole 'equality'...

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    It does. It makes a lot more sense to me when those who oppose abortion are able to rationalise that is the woman who should make the choice and not the state. However, I don't believe in the "sanctity of life". I am a pro-abortion pro-choicer in that in the case a woman got pregnant, I would...

    What's your sexuality?

    No, catholics are the reason the catholic church should change their stance on abortion. I won. Post deleted.

    Section 2

    Hmmm Well I read the opening, and I thought that it didn't fit my kinda-prepared narrative. I didn't want to sound like the narrative didn't fit the beginning. I thought, "Oh well, I like creative writing anyway, I'll just make up a new one. The old man was telling his friend about his...

    Flag Burners

    I mean come on, Aryanbeauty has a point here. Middle eastern people commonly show their despise by burning, spitting and urinating on it. Hey our despise! Come over here, we want to show you something. Not all middle eastern people share common characteristics. But if you choose to be...

    Bias and 'our' ABC

    So the Libs get a ribbing on the ABC, but it is fair, balanced and impartial? And having a balance of liberals and conservatives would destroy the supposed impartiality demonstrated by the moderate-left leaning ABC? What you are saying doesn't make any sense, and you are clearly biased in your...

    Flag Burners

    You know I don't, and that's irrelevant. Your argument was people died for it and therefore burning it should be punished. That isn't logical because people can die for anything, that does not elevate it's status or say anything about what it represents being of value.

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Teaching acceptance does not equate to leverage. If homosexuality is accepted, it only means that a homosexual will be seen as not having a disadvantage due to their sexuality. Why can't a minority be recognised in the same way a majority can without specific preference to the minority? Which...

    Homosexuality in Australia

    Not opposing homosexuality does not mean approving gay marriage. What defines a gay agenda in schools? I think those that oppose homosexuality are a minority, albeit a large one, but I don't know this as fact. Give me some evidence that people like me are a minority. Also, just because I think...

    Bias and 'our' ABC

    I didn't say the ABC should be biased. I said it should have a balance in opinion. That way, everyone wins. By the way, is it arts students you are talking about in that last sentence? I didn't quite catch that.

    Flag Burners

    People have died for what the nazi flag stands for. People have died for what the confederate flag stands for. So fucking what? Should people be punished for burning those too? Construct a real argument please.

    Bias and 'our' ABC

    I think if ABC wishes to eliminate bias, they should not make new rules but recruit some conservative journalists/presenters. Forcing all programs to take a neutral stance is ridiculous, opinion makes for interesting television. Sure, they should have objective news coverage, but targeting other...

    Flag Burners

    I hope your child is retarded, you elitist trash. You'll only be tolerant of people like you who like to limit freedom according your conservative values. I liked it better when you were gone. Burning the flag could be a demonstration against anything, it might be a statement against the...

    Does God exist?

    Yeah, like all those kids born with it. They should've followed the teaching of the church. And those women who were raped, according to the idea that having sex with a virgin cures AIDS and thus contracted it could benefit from that message too. Complete blind oversimplification. :)

    The Abortion Debate (continued)

    Australia does not have a law which only allows for one child per woman. Most Australians live in an urban area, eliminating the need for the labour required for farming. Women can achieve the same level of success and wealth as men here. No, there is no need to prevent women from knowing their...
