As for the time of year to go to Australia, I would NOT recommend high summer for someone used to a Canadian climate. Temperatures can be sweltering in many parts of Australia (for example today was 30 in Perth - 86 fahrenheit - and it is considered a cool change). In a hot year, like last...

This is a wonderful thread. What objections would you level against St. Anselm's version of the Ontological Argument other than the (discredited) Perfect Island objection? I am currently studying a course in Greek Philosophy and I've just done a tute presentation on Aristotle's objections...

Now see here good man no puns on the name of the Commonwealth. I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE! ;)

All New Zealand would need to do to become part of Australia would be to pass an Act of Parliament authorising a referendum to become a state of the Commonwealth...as I said, unlikely :lol: I must say it's a shame that unlike Americans (supposedly), Australians have little to no knowledge of...

When I was 6 I pushed a piece of crayon into my ear, and had to go to hospital to get it out. I scream at my six year old self WHY!!!!!!!!!!!! THis isn't me, but a few years ago a guy on my hockey team smacked the hockey ball into my eyebrow:mad: Stitches were required.

WHY IS IT SO DAMN HOT DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY! Damn Australian summer... Actually today isn't that bad, its only 32 degrees Celsius. This summer has been quite bad for heat actually. 44 degrees on Boxing Day, what a joke. Once it gets above 36 or so, I'm out....retreat to the...

Indeed, there's a provision in the Constitution which allows for New Zealand to become the 7th state of Australia. Don't think they'd appreciate that however :lol: I voted for the EU to join together

I'm pretty sure I saw this happen (on the news) in Iran, I definately recall some nooses being put around young homosexuals' necks. Barbaric. And then there was that guy that they wanted to put to death or something in Afghanistan because he wanted to convert from Islam to Christianity:shake...

Sorry guys, no complex story, just a quick reminder that its necessary to help your friends once in a while... :mischief: I haven't played Civ3 for a while, but this particular game I remember quite clearly. It was a world map, on some lowly difficulty that was a testament to my lack of Civ...

Myself, I haven't seen any of the too out there wonders, just Stonehenge, Versailles, Eiffel Tower, Globe Theatre (or the replica anyway) and Notre Dame.

People who don't listen in class and then ask you to explain what the teacher just said because they were too busy talking or whatever People who eat with their mouth open "Perfect people" - so good at everything they turn their hand to People who make unjustified assumptions based on first...

While this is true in part, I think its a bit unfair to those people who genuinely believe that pre-marital sex is taboo because of their faith. Remember, in olden times there was no contraception and so pre-marital sex could often result in children, obviously having huge social and economic...

I also seem to recall a few months back that there was a communist rally in Moscow (or perhaps St.Petersburg? Memory is really hazy here) which demanded a return to the "good old days" of Stalin. That could be construed as an attack on "democracy" in Russia, but they weren't forcibly...

As the title suggests, I was wondering if I could get a few tips of what to do in the mide game, when several options open up especially considering what type of victory to aim for. I'll use my current game as an example. Settings are noble/continents/standard. I'm playing with Ragnar. The...

Umm, yes did I do something wrong?
