Your earlier comments are premised on the following notion: that students of Asian or Subcontinental background are more likely to do medicine solely because of parental pressure, than students of a European background. You are still yet to provide any compelling evidence that this is so, other...

"From what you've seen", meaning at most the dozen or so "curries" and asians you've spoken to about this issue? That would be a dozen out of several hundred, not a fantastic sample size on which to base your virulent strand of bigotry. And wow, you even managed to drag Islam into it -...

bump. couple of places left.

Tutoring available in English, English Extension, English Extension 2, Economics, Modern History and History Extension. In the 2004 HSC, I was ranked 4th in the State in English Extension, 5th in Modern History, 6th in Economics, and 10th in Extension History. My UAI was 99.95. I've had 2...

Please spare us the details of your deviant sexual fantasies.

Yeah, but that's only because by the time Girl TV is on, you've already wasted your load wanking over Elmo and the Cookie Monster on Sesame Street.

The premise that the "rich have surplus and therefore should give more" is the basis of our progressive tax system. Its intuitively fair and provides the greatest good for the greatest number - unless you'd prefer to return to the 19th century, when the poor were left to starve on the streets...

Yes, good idea. Alternatively, the (mainly Western) arms manufacturers could stop selling superfluous weapons to Indonesia, that would save a lot of money (for the Indonesians), too. That's actually a better solution than the govt stopping buying them, since, as we all know, the governments of...

What? KO'd already? I was just getting started.

http://www.ohio.com/mld/ohio/news/columnists/jewell_cardwell/10509173.htm?1c "The U.S. Agency for International Development is adding $20 million to an initial $15 million contribution for Asian earthquake relief..." You're welcome. No, when I first knew about the Tsunami, I didn't...

Wow. I bet they had to dig really deep for that. I mean, diverting resources from a war for oil which they were supposed to win in three days...and $35 million, now that's the definition of generosity. /sarcasm off It's called courtesy, respect, decency etc. You know, like the way world...

Whoever posted that was wrong. America is the richest nation in the world. No, for YOUR misguided information, America's initial relief effort was $15 million. This was later raised to $35 million. Please don't make me link a source to prove that, because that would be very humiliating for...

Dude, if Australia's initial donation was $10 million, and America's initial donation was $15, one of those countries should seriously be embarassed, and i'll give you a hint: its not Australia. To answer your question, the world is bitching because America is the richest nation in the world...

WOW! They diverted a war fleet to help in a crisis where over 150 000 people died? God bless them, they must be saints. Never mind the fact that it took Bush THREE days to even make a public statement on the issue (I guess he was having just too much fun on that ranch of his), or that $15...

The initial amount the US government pledged to Tsunami victims was a mere $15 million. This was TWO days into the disaster, when the gravity of the situation was clear to everyone with half a brain (and heart). That is, two days after the worst natural disaster in recent history, which hit...
