OldLordPlumm Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Pax, that quote didn't say the researcher said free ride. But I'm too late replying to continue and it might be touching a nerve with you man. Anyway I positively wish that any of the students I ever had classes with participated as much as they do in the classes you teach.Rogues Gallery thread (all your stalking needs in one convenient thread!)Huh?I don't have much to do with the board beyond this thread these days. Even then I'm only just making it back here.No, just made a Powerpoint display about people who stage "I'm Leaving" dramas.I do remember some of those from years ago when I was posting regularly. I can't remember all their names but I remember them. One person left and then sup-os-ed-ly recruited their "roommate" to get on the board and attack everyone under a different username and somehow knew TerraPrime was gay etc. Funny.

sh_wulff Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Fuck them, they don't deserve support. :thumbsdown:Belated- of course they do- they exasperate and excite in about equal measures.Clock work is so boring ( SA and Aus of old) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Winged Shadow Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Belated- of course they do- they exasperate and excite in about equal measures.Clock work is so boring ( SA and Aus of old)I'm just tired of making excuses on their behalf. I don't mind losing, I'm used to it by now, but the way they played is a disgrace. I really thought those days were behind us and then the WI and SA game happened...At least we got the poms. There is that for consolation... but the wounds are still too fresh at the moment. Forgiveness will come later...like always :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubby Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'm hanging out for the AFL season to start. I don't know if I'll watch a full game until Saturday night, when my lot takes on Paxter's bunch of crabs, but I will be checking in between overs in the WC matches.Carn the Lions!!** Which, of course, means "fuck me it's likely to be a long depressing season."

Paxter Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Pax, that quote didn't say the researcher said free ride. The article is pretty clear on this point. The researcher is directly quoted as saying "international non-English-speaking background students effectively free ride on each other".But I'm too late replying to continue and it might be touching a nerve with you man. Not really. I've had this same discussion with quite a few of the people I work with and some would agree with your arguments and phrase them in similar terms.

They've been doing fantastic. It would really boost the country's morale if they win the WC. It's about time Asia gets the cup again. It's been too long!I was talking about Bangladesh and their horrid performance against WI and SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldLordPlumm Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Is that going to impact on the business partnership GS? If you get the job will you let us know?60 minutes and the religion bashing thing? I won't go on any of you who know me know how I feel about integration etc. Got relos in UK who are pretty open minded and some are ethnic but even they are frustrated by blatant lack of integration etc. Having said that I don't think the term multicultralism deserves to be called a failure, but I'm not a Briton. I think 60 minutes was struggling for stories personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paxter Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I think 60 minutes was struggling for stories personally.Agreed. Sad thing is, 60 Minutes is the eighth most-watched program in this country (and don't even get me started on Seven News, Border Security and Nine News, which currently occupy spots 10, 13 and 20, respectively) :thumbsdown:. @sh_wulff: Love the new avatar - that one's a keeper I reckon :cheers:. Can't say the same for you and your "pets" avatar TWS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
