not saying i agree with everything. but i am saying hes ploughing ahead with policy, which is what the Boss is supposed to do.

"Let me be clear. Israel's security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable.
"The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them to prosper — but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel's identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognised and defensible borders.
"Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided. I have no illusions that this will be easy."
Milo Yiannopoulos is the ultimate Wind Up Merchant. Discuss.
The lefties always bite - didn't know who the guy was until the protest was the lead story on NBN news the other night. Really if they kept quiet and ignored the guy (and we are a country open to free speech I thought), nobody would have been any wiser. But no, lefties believe anything they don't agree with has to be violently protested against.Quote:

The efficient ones, would come in head down and knock off the target in about 6 hours. You took ages to get a flex day and you would be dumped with more work if you decided to read the paper in the time you saved and get no reward.
I once suggested your pay should be based on your output, not the number of hours you worked and that if you finished your allocation at 12pm then (quality control allowing) you could go home as just reward for efficiency. The union heads didn't get it.
Wiki on their annual donation drive - cough up team, time (again) to give to the true legitimate deserving site.
Agreed. It's also a case of Trump being the only one to go to the polls with any policies - something I don't recall anyone else since Kennedy actually doing [and even he was pretty vague].Quote:

You can't be serious ? Unions haven't been able to convince anyone of anything for over 40 years - that's why wages have been flat or falling since that time. The Wages Accord was probably the last straw when workers were tricked into gifting productivity gains solely to their employers.Quote:

As soon as you hear the word flexibility mentioned it's time to either run or start throwing punches.
Why would anyone donate to that useless pile of shit ? Far too many ideologically motivated articles on it, not too mention the many that are just plain wrong. To think that students would actually use google or indeed wiki for research purposes is very sad.Quote:

On your rant about wiki, dunster, [citation needed] pal
Leave loading was around long before the 1970's. My grandfather was an engine driver [a trade which no longer exists]and received leave loading in the 1930's - much like many other shift workers did.Quote:

More importantly have you done our KOTH selections yet ?:rof:
You wouldn't need to either - you can get a HD in pretty much any degree these days rote learning past exam papers.Quote:

In the past students could seek an audience with academics, even go directly to the source in many cases - now most academics really only know a student if they are supervising their dissertations.
Which is sad because we have all these so called experts running around and yet they know sweet **** all because they pretty much rote learned exam papers- especially when it comes to economics, mathematics, and hard sciences. Other fields I'm not familiar with may be different - but I'd be shocked if they were.
I hardly talked to my supervisor during my thesis either. It was pretty much off my own bat and browsing forums and experimentation etc.Quote:

A lot of the professors did have the time of day for you if you wanted to, it just wasn't taken up that often I don't think. And as you said they would be too busy to volunteer it.
I don't think I used exam papers much during my time there except when they were given out as assignments or practice work during tutorials, which did happen a little. But my approach wasn't to memorise the questions but more so peel them back to see the underlying patterns so you can impose your method and thoughts on new hypotheticals. No doubt a lot of people would have though. Its a more efficient way to get good marks. Just not to get understanding.
Agreed 100%. Unfortunately, from my experience you would be lucky to find one in a thousand students interested in anything more than getting a grade to get them closer to a desired job / income level.Quote:

It a religious man who is from a religion who doesn't allow the use of illicit drugs but also suffers from mental health issues is the reason why a few days out from a cultural / Christian religious festival that runs against his religious beliefs drives a car into a crowd of people like other people from his religious group have recently done around the world and it all down to mental health and drug use and has nothing at all to do with his religious beliefs ??
FMD
Yet people actually believe the BS story they palming off
How gullible are these people ??
This country is seriously ****ed when you have clueless Muppets like this allowed to breed
Jesus is mentioned in the Quaran 187 times Member. And he's praised not ridiculed. So you must be talking about a religion other than Islam.Quote:

Plenty of information about Mohammed and what he did / achieved during his life time and very well backed up as well I might add. Not so much for Jesus who's importance really doesn't get much of a mention until some 600 odd years after his death.
I might also add that were it not for the Islamic Scholars you would not even know Christianity existed.
What you are referring to is fundamentalism / extremism and that can apply to all religions - Christianity is no exception.
