Many people have died for many things, otay, and I think that it would be best to say that nobody has died for the flag as such, but rather that people have fought under it in order to protect that which it represents.
That said, I for one would never burn the flag, and I would readily pursue...

'Beyond tasteless' cartoon upsets US military
Once again, feel free to promote your university and to contest any unreasonable generalisations from those commenting from afar, but don't expect others to keep quiet when you seek to unjustly pull down another university with petty statements in order to make your point.

Despicable, but to be expected. However, at least we (those that listened to AM this morning) know that Mr Howard is never willing to let an opportunity to put the foot into the ALP pass, no matter whether it is warranted or not. I for one know that the Australian people deserved better than...

I'm quite a looker...
I congratulate Professor McWha (University of Adelaide's Vice-Chancellor) on standing up for the importance of student services and student representation to the university community.
After years of under-funding by the Howard Government, universities can not afford to divert money away from...
