Un monde id?al

[Pencil]

Want me to pick a question? Maybe we should start a new thread haha this one has gone waay off topic. I always avoid the imaginative ones and go for the personal or lately I've been doing the persuasive ones, if the personal one is crap. hm i shall start a new thread..

[melanie.dee]

^^ I love what this has become

well seeings this thread is now just for random shit..
are yous all continuing french at uni?
I was just thinking, would it be better, if I want to do languages, to do them through like a tafe course or something, so that I can free up my degree for other subs? It's gonna be so hard to try and fit everything in if I go to melb uni, seeings they want to hijack 1/4 of my degree with their 'breadth' subs.
Also, I'm scared I'm going to lose my french next year cos I'm taking a year off. Is it possible to stop it for a year then keep going?

I might pick it up in uni. Well i hope to anyway.. I still have a long way to go till I'm fluent. :?
The Melbourne Model somewhat benefits me... since I'll probably head off to a biomed degree with French as the breadth. :X
I've already had half a year away from French, lol, I don't think I've forgotten too much as of yet. So I'm pretty sure it's possible to stop for a year .

I think this is poor thinking. It doesn't benefit you, but rather makes everyone who doesn't have the need for breadth subjects lose.

That doesn't mean you win

I never win T_____________T.

Haha, well I just wanted to correct a possibly dangerous logical fallacy. If we continue that when others lose, we will win, then we will form a counter-productive society.

I mean, it may have even subconsciously happened. I guess just the fact that the MM doesn't disadvantage or hamper your freedom in the ways that it hampers the freedom of others makes you feel like you're "advantaged." But only relatively! We're still absolutely disadvantaged as a whole!

[politics]
If we continue to believe that losers imply winners, the dangerous contrapositive (winners imply losers) assumption then leads to a society where we have an irrational mistrust of a capitalist society, ultimately leading to a trust in government to regulate, resulting in the flawed socialist mindset.

I think the [politics] BBCode should just make the text invisible... that's what I assume the majority of FSN would vote for. You're sick of reading my rants aren't you?

[Toothpaste]

You're sick of reading my rants aren't you?

...yes I am sick of your rants, yet I still read them. So since I still read them,    therefore I am sick of your rants.

Lol. that sucked. (nah not sick of your rants.. yet)

2 + 2 = 5

haha i've just read this whole thread (perte de temps?) i love the way its gone from "lets only speak french and talk about our ideal world" to....i don't even know

just wanted to say - melanie.dee, you said you thought you stuffed up your oral etc... sounds like we're in similar positions. i went to france on exchange too so my accent's pas mal and my comprehension is pretty good, and my oral wasn't exactly great either.
everything i said, i tried to link to something else, and they barely followed ANY of my links. which meant that in my detailed study, i talked about the photo that i brought in (which was unrelated to the actual text-texts that i'd studied) for about 90% of the time despite me desperately trying to get them to ask me something else. with like one minute to go i gave up with my little hints of "this reminds me of somehting else i learnt in the ARTICLE i studied" and just started a rant about something else.
was pretty disappointed with it. grrrr vce examiners.

what's everyone doing to study for the written?
