It was coming, it had tro have been coming soon. If this blog is about big questions then it was bound to crop up sometime or another. Some political leaders are vowing to get troops out of Iraq if elected to office. dates have been put forward and all eyes have turned towards the current leader's responses which have been exactly what we've been hearing for the last 4 years. indefinate. What I aks is this: Do we pull out and leave the people of Iraq to squabble among themselves in which cas the country will fall apart. or do we stay for the long hall. A recent report has shown that the people vital for rebiulding Iraq, people with all the brains (doctors, architects ect.) and all the common labour which is a vital part of any rebiulding, are leaving the country in droves. Some 15,000 refugees leave Iraq every month.
Do we stay? or do we go...
I have recently discovered that most of my classes areb full of bogan/jocks and really boring slightly disturbing people. I found that I'm am not alone in my predicament.
Now after thinking this through for a while I came to a conclusion. I should drop out of school and become a plumber. That thought lingered for an uncorfortably long time and then I though I should try and change my classes around and try to be with more interesting people. At about this point, the little good part of my sub-concious (mum) told me I ashould knuckle dow and endure. my question is; is it reasonable to ask for half decent classes, or am I just being a snob.

I cry in a lot of movies but the one that really does it for me is "dead poets society" I can't help myself. I cry every time I see it even though I watched it like five times. What movies make you cry?
Its back! Bigger, badder and more pro-American than anyone could have imagined. The all new series of 24 kicked off this Tuesday and already people are dead all over the place. I started watching this patriotic series halfway through season three and my god, Jack Bauer is still alive and fighting for the country that has sold him out on so many occasions he must be permanently unsure if hes a hero or a con. More to the point, this season is more pro-American than any of its predecessors. That said, I still watch it so I cant bag it completely, at least it keeps me wondering whats going to happen each episode and it does do some crazy shit. For example, Jack shot and killed his best friend to protect a terrorist turned statesman. Its coming back on Wednesday and who knows whatll happen. (after the second episode of Heroes which is oh so cool.)
Labour leader Kevin Rudd has proposed children undertaking their "learning" at pre-school as early as the age of 3. should kids be kids or do we take advantage of the time in which their minds are the most open?
Are acts of terror simply acts of war the the west is to conservitive to recognise? Is this a "new" way of waging war or are they crimes against humanity?
