Aussie universities....

...In an effort to increase employment for graduates, the fees for so called humanities disciplines, compared to the STEM ones, will be more than doubled. So nursing, engineering and maths students are in the pink. History, communications, and English ones, well, not so much. Some merit involved, but.....
Should be protests galore. One more move to destroying the idea of the life value of a general studies undergraduate degree. The ancients, classicists, and middle ages academics, would be livid. Not to mention those of the enlightenment.

Vierk,

I've done my time....
Looks like "The Yartz", is dead in Oz, however, was it ever really alive?
Yeah, that's all good fun, until you have to actually study.....
Oh, these old eyes would be studying alright. Just not at the books.
@lcbr see, here's the problem with your logic. Like Bush saying about 20 years ago 'if you are not with us, you are agin us' ...
Pointing out again and again that your arguments for Epoch Times anti-China arguments are gullible, is not supporting China or its government at all. It is just saying that Epoch Times lies and creates seemingly credible videos to spread its lies. I have never said anything FOR China's government, in fact.
I do detest the Abbott government deceased, and the current Australian government, but how on earth can you conclude I prefer China's government. Feeble logic, feller.
Fargo,

You claim that you are not for China; however every time something negative, (although well substantiated) is said, (about China), you spring to their defense. Is this not one and the same thing?
Fargo,

It is also interesting that they send their top students to a "Decadent" Western country; (Oz in this case); for a World Class Education, and Qualifications, (which are second to none) - whilst simultaneously despising us. Could you please enlighten me about this dichotomy? (being the giant of Logic, and Reasoning, that you are)
Fargo,

Finally, you claim all my arguments are based on the Epoch Times (whereas they are merely one source of information, among many in the Global Media Landscape). Maybe it is your Logic, which is at fault here, sir?
Fargo,

Incidently, I did not say, that: Because you despise (your word) our Government therefore you prefer the Government of China - I actually phrased this as a question (addressed to you). So Zero Points for Logical Inference, so far.
mmmm, well, be that, as it may; I just thought that I might add this little gem, from quite a few years back (ok attitudes have changed a fair bit since then)....

FourCheeses Should you happen to look back at what you just wrote, stepping outside yourself, so to speak, what would you think? A genius? Or a demented incoherent idiot? No need to ask me what I think, of course, 'blathering idiot' comes to mind.
