Someone made a comment about the crescent moon and star, it's an interesting concept. It seems to have gone the opposite way of the star of David - rather than a religious symbol becoming an ethnic one in addition, it was an ethnic symbol (originally of Turkic origin, had nothing to do with...

You make a good point, however I think the usage of the word "Jew" by Israel is meant in its purely ethnic context, not its religious one. For example, atheist Jews are afforded these same benefits as religious Jews. Your post only makes sense if you conflate religion/ethnicity (ie, believe that...

It all depends how you define left and right. It isn't just one thing that differentiates them. There's a whole host of things that can be called "left" or "right". I think the main difference between the left and the right however, has more to do with how they try to achieve their ends than...

Not the most logical question, considering anyone who would actually yell "BOURGEOISIE4LYF" probably won't admit such thing as a class war exists.

I agree. One of the flaws of this (and really, any) poll is that they don't take into account all the possibilities; they're loaded and vague. But I guess that's why we have the posts to explain our views more clearly. I definitely think you're right though; far more than 25% of the general...

While I don't agree with most of bigboyjames' post, I don't think it's fair to take this post out of context. I'm sure he knows Israel is a secular nation. I think what he meant was a state established primarily for the benefit and protection of a particular religious group (the Jews).

Unfavourable. Howard, Rudd, same shit different smell.

It's likely that unacceptance of homosexuality is much higher than 25% in the general population. An educationally-oriented forum isn't a very representative source.

Countries don't espouse views or hold ideologies. People do. If you're trying to say that a majority of Australians agree with this ideology you make reference to, that may very well be true, but the same people (for the most part) believe in freedom of speech also. Makes no sense to want...

But its not possible for me to have 68 non-Law cps overall or 18 cp in level 300 arts units. my overall degree doesnt have enough room to fit that many cp in, and as for the level 300 units, the max i can do is 16 cp in 3rd year (cant do it earlier because of its requirements) and i dont think...

Question: If im doing a BA LLB, do I have to fulfill the requirements that are also part of the straight BA degree? That is, I know I have to do the "coherent study" for history, which is 12 cp at 300 level in Hist, ahist and aust units, but do I also need the general BA requirements? Like 18...

I guess I wanted to at least have a fair few electives in addition to the major. But it looks like all we get is the one major and maybe 2-3 random units. I'm looking at modern history. what about you?

By getting it, I mean Im slowly coming to the realisation that I will not be able to do as many arts units as I hoped/wanted. Sort of pissed off :( Oh well.

I think its about 2 per semester till 4th year, where it becomes all law units. still, my timetable didnt quite turn out how I expected. it looks weird. I mustve done something wrong. <starts re-doing it to include roughly equal number of units each semester>

b arts/law. confused as hell in terms of designing the program. but slowly getting it.

Much thanks to glitterfairy, this was extremely helpful. However, there's still one thing bugging me. Even after I've followed all my degree requirements (BA LLB), and made the timetable, I've only got about 3 units on per semester throughout the 5 years (on average). This seems slightly dodgy...

I agree that the Bible and other religious texts have immense gaps. I am 100% for evolution and against creationism. However, it isn't entirely contradictory to believe in both accounts. I know people were not aware of the existence of amino acids etc. but you are making that point from the...

Religious language is very ambigious and unclear at times. It is very open to interpretation; and the literal one is often the most obvious one, but is not necessarily the one that makes the most sense. With that said, depending on some interpretations, the idea that God created life is...

Not sure if this has been addressed, but someone early in the thread suggested that science supported the idea of Adam and Eve because of Mitichondrial Eve. It does NOT prove that all humans descended from one woman. Mitichondrial Eve is given that name because it can be proven that all human...

Yeah, the EAS letter I received from UAC said that only Macq, USYD and UTS use the allocation system (there are a certain number of EAS places, and once all regular spots are filled, those places are given to EAS students). All other institutions use the bonus points system, where they give you...
