who doesn't hate conservative people? the odd generalization is immensely satisfying, so i'll indulge in one right now. conservatives and conservatism (at least in the contemporary understanding of the term) have been a blight on humanity since the first civilizations dawned. miserable, fear-mongering leeches, the entire movement has done nothing but suck the lifeblood out of the liberal societies that give their festering malcontent a voice.

cheers.

to pursue those ideals and perpetuate change. Without change our society will stagnate and decay.

The youth of Australia are an untapped resource. We must revalue them - treat them as if they are worth something, not just worth the child's wage of 45% of real wages. It's a terrible thing to see the youth of this country excluded from debate, and it's people like you, with your bigotry and unfounded bias which lead to such terrible circumstances.

I live in Armadale, one of the aggregate poorest suburbs in Perth. I know a goodly number of people living in Perth from every culture, including Africans and I can quite rightly say you are an ignorant, bigoted fool dedicated to the demonisation of a specific social group.

There is nothing wrong with being an idealist. Idealism leads to social change. Sure, you may never achieve the fulfilment of all of your ideals; progress will be moderated by countervailing forces but it's still important

Hey lindsay where do you live??? i bet it isnt in the western suburbs of sydney.

How many africans do you know in Australia??

Because i know a few and its disgusting to see thier actions within society. You are one of these idealists that have no insight, your world is great and feel you will be untouched and unaffected by all this...soon you will see but im afraid a sorry wont cut it by then.

Please stop saying "education revolution"; it makes me cringe and is meaningless.
