Status of women

Holy shit

Science and Tech get my vote

That's kind of a big global challenge considering that women are getting raped to death on a regular basis in several countries, just for having poontangs.

Why science and tech? I was thinking more global ethics, since we're so rich, successful, and advanced in most modern sciences - we should be able to start telling other shitty countries how to behave and what to do.

I literally have no idea, and now I think it's raining, so I have to go to get beer in the rain.

[The Boss]

That whole question and essay smacked of liberalism and you just confirmed it.

You can't free the fuck out of a country, without obviously decimating the population and implanting civilsed people.

Freedom ain't freedom unless self actualised.

Obviously I'm writing to the question and the markers, not what I think. Half the essays I've written in my life have been shit I didn't believe, because it was just easier.

Well, why would you pick science and tech? The question for discussion on the website was "How can scientific and technological breakthroughs be accelerated to improve the human condition?"

I actually considered it before posting here - I was going to focus on renewable energy technologies, as I believe Australia could be at the fore of that field.

[The Boss]

Asia and Oceania: Chinese patent filings have gone up 500% in the last five years; China is investing more in cleaner energy technology than the U.S. does and it has the second largest R&D budget in the world. Asian countries with double-digit economic growth also have double-digit growth in R&D expenditures. Energy and environment is the focus of U.S. and China relations. Japan has launched a Venus probe that also carried a space sail that gains its energy from solar "wind" pressure in space.

Australia doesn't even get a mention . . .

[The Boss]

Damn man, writing to what they think? That's why I'm glad if I ever go to uni I'll be answering questions that have answers not pandering to feelings.

As to science and tech, there is so much going on you could write a 20 page essay on, I'm too drunk and lazy to find what I've read lately but a lot of science fiction shit is coming true and being tested right now. That essay doesn't seem hard per se, just choosing a subject and running with it, then again you have to worry about marks, which sucks, who would have thought even in higher education you have to write to certain mind set.

Fuck that, how ridiculous.

Yeah, for shit I don't care about - like this essay.

It's difficult because none of the "challenges" given is a particular problem for Australia.

I'm sick of this fucking course. It's so retarded.

[The Boss]

Well according to some population and resources and energy are a big problem for Australia.

Bam, essay done dude

Counter-BAM!

An overlooked aspect of the Pacific nation's economic outperformance has been the ability to attract a quarter of a million migrants every year, underpinning demand for everything from homes to cars, schools and hospitals.

"Provided population growth is planned for by government, it represents power to the economy," said Craig James, chief economist at stockbroker and fund manger CommSec. "Businesses are in business because they want to grow and solid population growth assists in that."

New South Wales, the country's most populous state, plans to splurge A$60 billion ($55 billion) on infrastructure in just the next four years to meet growing demand.

For sure, having more people is hardly a panacea and clearly entails all sorts of environmental challenges. But again Australia is better placed than many to cope.

While much of the hinterland is bush, there is plenty of living room on its 26,000 kilometers of fertile coastline. Its cities are among the least densely populated on the planet, despite holding the vast bulk of the nation's 23 million residents.

Water has been a perennial problem, but several years of widespread rain have filled the dams and reassured policy makers that drought is not a permanent state of affairs.

I might choose population growth just because it looks to be the easiest so far. Now to get good and drunk - the woman is home, and giving me the monthly tense, silent, stomping-around-like-a-fucking-idiot-fourteen-year-old-girl treatment.

Fuck her. She'll be lucky if I talk to her within the next month. Fucking bitch ruining my vacation.

[The Boss]

I never said Dick Smith was right, I just thought, as you said, it's the easiest way to appease your overlords.

I don't understand you taking this course and not actually giving your opinion, regardless of marks, that's everything I thought you were against.

shrugs

Oh, my dear, sweet, friend - I stopped giving a fuck about somewhere around the beginning of this year.

I need to sit on a beach in Oz for a few weeks, get my fucking head back together. I'm nothing like what I was when I moved here back in 2007.

[The Boss]

I could NEVER see myself writing an essay/opinion piece to appease some one, get your shit together, fuck, give me a course and I will waste a year of my life if not more giving my opinion

It's far from "appeasing".

My main projects last semester were 1. how to end the War on Drugs, and 2. why we need to control the global population in order to pose less of a threat to already threatened and endangered species - whether they be animals or plants.

Needless to say, I'm not the most popular person doing this course. They want hardcore leftists crying about socio-economic disparities around the world. Sure, I care about that kind of thing, but I'm of the impression that it's already covered. Let me look at other things.

While this essay isn't the first time I've had to not give a fuck and just pump out whatever, I don't see it as selling myself or my beliefs out. I'm capable of writing well enough to make the marker realise that what I've written is merely "ticking the boxes" - and if it's a subject I care very little for, I don't see the harm.

University education, just like everything in life, comes down to how good your non-literal blowjob-giving skills are.

Mine are fair to excellent. Somewhere in between.

[The Boss]

Anything but giving your true opinion seems disgusting to me, I guess I don't live in the real world. But as you are giving to higher education makes me want to attend an blow the roof of that sad sad place.

While I tend to trust and agree with you on most things, I think you might be a little wrong on this one.

Or (and this is very possible), I've been taking the easy way out, and selling out all just to be able to get some grades this whole time. (Note that I absolutely didn't do that with my thesis).

My excuse is that it's the result that's important - and no, not the grade. Have I learnt enough in higher education to make me a serious decision-maker in the Australian public service? Sure. Have I been equipped with the skills to do such a thing? More or less. Have I learnt enough, regardless of my output, to make me a constructive, peaceful, conscientious, member of society? I would say so.

Isn't that what we really want?

[MOG]

Well, that fucking sucks. I'd hope we can all complain about Tool on this thread. There are other threads for bickering.

Fuck Tool!

Oh you motherfucker! Kate Upton? How in the fuck am I supposed to concentrate now?

Maybe you should see a psychiatrist, it seems you are attracted to cattle

Guess that explains why I jerk it to pictures of your mom every night

[The Boss]

Terrible. Boring. And just terrible.

Excellent point.

[snazzlefrass]

Regardless of what ol' Tyson has to say,
Kate Upton is fucking beautiful.

I'd cut off all three of my legs just to dry hump her.

[snazzlefrass]

Fuckin' hot.

More cushion for the pushin'.

[MOG]

Fuckin' hot.

Word. Tyson prefers 90 pound strung out crack whores.

I always thought FE was an allusion to the anus. You know, in a "one of the nine gates", kind of way.

[Calfium Jay]

WTF?!?!

There hasn't been ANY vitriol aimed at Tool for the past week or so. Shame on you all, may all upcoming gigs you look forward to attending cancel on you.

Now...where was I? Oh yeah...

I think it's highly unlikely that these guys will hit the studio by the end of the year. In fact I'm predicting Maynard will not even start writing his contribution until next year.
That will mean a total amount of four years will have been spent writing the music for...what....10 songs?!?!

What a joke.

Phew....now I feel better.

4 years? Where did you get that magical number?

They started writing for the new album since 2006 when they toured for 10,000 days. It looks like it will be a total of 10,000 days before we see a new album.

[MOG]

Tool sucks

[The Boss]

Tool sucks

[kramer]

How about the sober toy? People buying these = go ahead guys, take your time! I don't mind! I'm a grown man and I buy toys!

[The Boss]

Here I will list things better than the "Sober" doll:

1. Pineapples

2. Children's floatation devices

3. Chocolate chip muffins

4. Oral sex

5. That feel when you wake up in the middle of the night, afraid that you've only got an hour or so before your alarm - then realise it's the weekend, and you don't have to do anything

6. Silver jewellery

7. STING

8. Watching volcanoes erupt from a safe distance

9. Breaking in new guitar strings

10. Kate Upton on the cover of "SPORTS ILLUSTRATED"

11. A "Sober" d-FUCK

[Calfium Jay]

Here is a list of things that are better than listening to Tool.

1. Going to auctions, making a high bid, then running away...giggling.
2. Throwing a Frisbee at some random child's head, when they aren't watching.
3. Making fun of the elderly from across the other side of the street.
4. Driving past a gym while you are listening to loud music and chugging from a soft drink can and thinking of all the sweaty dumbasses inside.
5. Staying nude for ages in the changing rooms after swimming and making the other patrons uncomfortable.
6. Eating junk food and watching Curb Your Enthusiasmdvds.
7. Masturbating in the bushes at the beach.
8. Listening to Godflesh.
9. Arguing about politics at a neighbourhood barbeque.
10. Going to art galleries.
