If Condi won't attend because a few people might tell her she's wrong then too bad.
Anything their professors disagree with. College students for the most part lack any real world life experience ability to think for themselves. They have entered an environment that they have been told is the pinnacle of education their entire lives and they thus take in whatever they are taught as if it were the final word. The fact that the majority of college graduates never pick up a book after college (seriously) further entrenched the professors' influence.Cybargs wrote:

You say that like students are hanging on their prof's every word. Very few people actually have the sort of mentor relationship with professors you see in movies and such. You're just parroting the old stereotype about those librul eleet universe-cities.Jay wrote:

yeah pretty much. most uni students dont parrot on their professors. its just the classes they pick tend to agree with their perception of the world. eg development studies with a lot of white college kids who never lived a day in their life overseas (trip to bali doesnt count) telling all the brown people whats best for them and all corporations are evil.DesertFox- wrote:

Can't be on anything above a 660CC or 150kw/tonne bike due to aussie rules for new riders.pirana6 wrote:
What are you looking to do with your bike? Trips or just going around town? Or racing friends?
Do you need speed? Gas mileage? Storage?
I know people that start on 250's and have no issues, and I know people that start on 750's and have no issues, so I dunno if that should be your initial starting point when looking.
Honda Cbr600 is the ultimate beginner bike. You won't necessarily grow out of it quickly and it's the easiest to learn on.Cybargs wrote:
yeah ive been looking at something like a cbr500 or a fz6r. any main difference between honda yamaha and kawasaki? ive heard yamahas are easier to learn with.
cheers jay, but aussie gov says no for beginners we have licensing schemes that won't allow me on a bike more than 660cc or 150kw per tonne for at least 15 months after i get my learners.Jay wrote:
