O.K Challenger

What is the rite of passage to manhood for a young Australian male?

What are the hurdles in having an Asian face in a "Whitebread culture"?

Are you a virgin?

Challenger...if you were given a chance to travel to planet Mars but were told the trip is one way, would you go?

Damn. What an honor. Perhaps i can stop feeling insignificant now..yay.

thanks spud,

The rite of passage, nowadays is probably trying to get laid. however, other variants include: trying to get a job and move away from parents. Before it was either getting wasted or getting laid. IMO. Since I'm in a selective school, we don't really get into either. (damn single sex schools!)

Hurdles in having an asian face:

Going on camps as the only brown skin (nothing happens, but makes you feel odd)
Random misconceptions about religion and race surfacing. One guy did a tea dance with me, because he thought I was an indian.
Feeling sympathetic for those that have never had satay.
Trying not to seem like a nerd, in the face of non asian friends.
Expected not to know what pavlova is.
All people want to talk about is cricket and that seems to be the only thing they can find in common with me (at first glance)

And yes. Of course. I'm still young and have time. No need to rush it.

Challenger...if you were given a chance to travel to planet Mars but were told the trip is one way, would you go?

Hell, yeah . New world, New Start. Hope I don't screw up as badly as i could have here.

so you would...even knowing it is a one way trip?:bugeye: Do I understand that correctly? Because of all the 8 people before you in this round challenges, all declined.

What are your phobias if any?

so you would...even knowing it is a one way trip?:bugeye: Do I understand that correctly? Because of all the 8 people before you in this round challenges, all declined.

Yes. I know I would miss my parents, friends and my planet. But It is a new world and new country. Unless i'm going alone, I would see no reason to decline.

What are your phobias if any?

ARACHNOPHOBIA. I cannot understand Varda's facination with spiders. They totally freak me out.

Claustrophobia i can deal with. Because It's basically a loss of control. I can take solace in the fact that I still control my mind.

How long have you lived in Aus?

Are you naturalised?

Do you identify as Australian?

How long have you lived in Aus?

Are you naturalised?

Do you identify as Australian?

Been here a total of 8-9 years,

Yes. Even with the accent.

It really depends. I love the country, the weather and the laid back sense that most aussies have. However, I am multicultural. I lived in singapore and I love it as much as I do here, I might have to live in malaysia and I don't find that a bad choice. I can (barely) sing the national anthem, but I can guarantee that as soon as I go to another country, I'd have forgotten it.
For the most part, I do identify as Australian ,but I don't go trumpeting (which some think disqualifies me from being Australian).

Do you wear cologne? If so what kind.

Do you prefer boxers or briefs?

Nope, Not even started using aftershave yet.

Briefs

My current favourite is a pair of pants that I haven't outgrown in three years, despite being regularly used and washed. - I also have a shirt saying "HSBC, highly suspicious banking corporation-The world's loco bank" which will be my next fave.

5 pairs, not including my one set of boots.

Would you ever move out of Australia?

Where would you move?

Have your classes ever been cancelled on account of weather in Australia?

Would you become a citizen of Russia to have the chance to fly into space on continuous missions?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Do you know what you want to do career wise?

Do you drive? If so what

What is your favourite band or artist?

Yes. If I had to

Malaysia, where I have family

No.

Yes. Of course, my eyesite probably prevents me from flying.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Do you drive? If so what

What is your favourite band or artist?

Working on that.

Yes, I'm hoping to become a global analyst or an International Lawyer, but I'll probably end up somewhere lower.

Working on that too, I'll probably be driving a honda Jazz, my mother's old car.

Current Favourites are the foo fighters, Although I'm currently listening to older songs.

Will you join Bells and myself in a sci Australiana takeover than join us in world domination?

What position would you like in the organisation?

Do you smoke pot? or have you ever?

What is your most valued possession?

Have you ever stolen anything?

Is that kinda like Pinky and the Brain :p

Will you join Bells and myself in a sci Australiana takeover than join us in world domination?

Of course.

Foreign minister. If not then minister for education (I have a grudge against private schools)

Do you smoke pot? or have you ever?

What is your most valued possession?

Have you ever stolen anything?

Unfortunately I'm a pretty boring person. My current locale isn't located anywhere near a dealer.

Probably my PC. (sad but true)

Yes, someone else's glory.

(I have a grudge against private schools)

Good for you! :D

Good for you! :D

I don't think It's right to make schools a business. even if you want your child to have the best equipment/education possible.

Public Education-A worthy investment. (I know, I sound like a walking ad for it...)

Who can sing the national antham:p

Did you know there are actually something like 7 verses, 3 only gets played on state intrests and the last 4 are NEVER played because they are racist garbage.

If you can sing "riding through the bush, in a rusty holden ute..." then your Australian:p

I agree with you. Private schools give rich kids better education to stay rich and keep middle and lower class people out from getting a higher education. It is as if they want the middle to stay middle and the rich to stay rich. They should be eliminated.

Back on the subject: What do plan to study in college?

Ordinarily enough
B Laws/International studies.

Did you create your avatar through photoshop?

Challenger, would you kill for love?


Her name is angel, your love is strong and it all would have been perfect...if not for the fact that she is abducted by the lord in another kingdom and the only way to save her would be by killing all of the lord's men who keep an eye on her everyday.

So would you?

Did you create your avatar through photoshop?

no, that's an actual photo of Bush

McCormick's original lyrics (1879)[9] Advance Australia Fair
1
Australia's sons let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We've golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In hist'ry's page, let ev'ry stage
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia fair.

2
When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Til he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
"With all her faults we love her still"
"Britannia rules the wave."
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

3
While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England soil and Fatherland,
Scotia and Erin fair,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

4
Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,
To guard our native strand;
Britannia then shall surely know,
Though oceans roll between,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep their courage green.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.*

I cant find the 5th verse but here is the 6th




'Missing' verse?[10] Advance Australia Fair

With Christ our head and cornerstone,
We'll build our Nation's might.
Whose way and truth and light alone
Can guide our path aright.
Our lives, a sacrifice of love
Reflect our Master's care.
With faces turned to heaven above
Advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair!

being in love...
not being human....but being in love...

To love is to be human , so their both entwined and inseperable.

To love is to be human , so their both entwined and inseperable.

what about those who commit suicides? are they still human? who did they love?

what about those who commit suicides? are they still human? who did they love?

Yes They are still human. I said To love is to be human, Being human is to give in to the temptations of love. Being human is also to give in to the temptation of death for some.

Challenger,
just a quickie; Your very important socio-meta-physical-industrialisationist-wombat-parapsychological test is scheduled for tomorrow at 0630 hours, it's currently 0145 and you have a moderately attractive femme who is apparently semi delirious and is making designs on your personable personage, she's being persistent and purveying your parsimonious parsnip, patting your peter and persisting with your piquant penis.
What do you do? Persevere with pointing percy at de pussy or put your pecker to the pack and peruse the presumed parameters of the priors?

Who can sing the national antham:p

Did you know there are actually something like 7 verses, 3 only gets played on state intrests and the last 4 are NEVER played because they are racist garbage.

If you can sing "riding through the bush, in a rusty holden ute..." then your Australian:p

Verse Five

Shou'd foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore
To guard our native strand;
Brittannia then shall surely know,
Beyond wide ocean's roll,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep a British soul.
In joyful strains the let us sing
"Advance Australia fair!"

Ausie Ausie Ausie:p

Oi, Oi ,Oi.

Damn. What an honor. Perhaps i can stop feeling insignificant now..yay.



Thats very humble of you. Nobody here is insignificant, and you have a great
personality, Challenger!


Some questions from me:


Do you have any hobbies, what are they?
What is your favorite subforum?
What are you best at?


Yes, I'm hoping to become a global analyst or an International Lawyer, but I'll probably end up somewhere lower.

Good luck, Challenger, I am sure you could do it! :)


Ordinarily enough
B Laws/International studies.

What motivate you to choose that subject in the first place?
What is the best thing you found in it?

These ones I copy from your questions in my thread:

Are you easily bored ?
If you had to pick one Sciforumer to sit next too on a 16 hour flight (in economy class) Who'd you pick ?
Given the chance, would you put your life in science or superstition, If there's equally compelling evidence for both ? (i.e. a 50 % success rate in both cases) etc.


Thank you, Challenger!

Hobbies, hmm, I like to go hiking in random locations, bike riding, hanging out at cadets, etc.
Favourite subforum would have to be About the members, It's my retreat when world events becomes too tiresome.
You know, I don't really know. I'm pretty good at debating and public speaking,but there are still people better than me.. (damn them!.:D)

Basically, (being young and Idealistic) I want to observe change at the global level. How far we've come in the last century, how we've done, and whats going to happen next. They say you can judge every civilization by the laws that it makes, so law seemed the logical choice.
"Are you easily bored?"

Not really. I can just sit here and think, but not for long. (1-2 hours at most).

Anyone.
If I had to ,and I mean had to, I'd pick you or sandy,sam or spud. So I can nitpick what exactly goes on in their head.....For science. (this is off the top of my head)
But I'd like to sit on a plane full of sciforumers, especially the longest posters, People have a lot to say around here. I wonder if the A380 can have space for all the posters,(although I doubt it).

I would put my life in science's hands, that way, If I die, It can be explained logically and scientifically, without anyone claiming "He was sinning too much" as an excuse.

Nice work challenger.
Please excuse and ignore my pissed post of last night circa 3.00 A.M, bleah!

LOL!. Excess of Gerbils,Access to Anvils ? LOL!. Great for a midnight laugh.

Damn the bastards!. Kill the operatives, "I was following orders" doesn't work anymore. One Raven... I dunno, I have no quarrel with him now, But if he were to try and kill moi,,well, we shall see who survives.

Challenger, If your superiors asked you, in a persuasive manner to ...eliminate one raven, would you do it or pass the buck to Squidemprah and thereby absolve yourserlf of undignified necessities or just do the justified thing and euthenase the twerp?

Depends how persuasive they are. If they managed to convince that raven is evil and a danger to me. Then I'd do it myself. If it wasn't that convincing, I'd put someone else on it.

rather answer this, is the image below an appropriate definition of a tractor beam in a Star Trek Universe? :bugeye:

Yes, and yes.

Trek books often end up better than the movies.

Why do you want a career in international law? Why do you think you're suited to it? And, what do you think it entails?

Pavlova was a Russian ballet dancer. Unlike Melba . she could also sing.

Things you thought you knew..

Why do you want a career in international law? Why do you think you're suited to it? And, what do you think it entails?

I am fluent in debating, and generally thought that thats best way to get involved in an international way. I haven't set in stone my career path, In fact I've still got several alternatives.
I think it would entail an understanding of international boundaries and statures, along with a understanding of how diplomacy affects and changes the realm/treaty.

Ladies and gents, It is time to move on, As you've probably found out, I'm a very boring person, So to our next (more) interesting victim.. Sam.

Oh Challenger, I wanted to ask you several questions but I was a bit busy.
I have 'last' questions for you, I hope Sam wouldn't mind. I will also post my
questions for Sam right after this.


What is your favorite movie?
Have you ever been in love?
What do you like the best about her?
What is the best and worst moment during your service in army? (I saw your photo once in army uniform)
List 5 things about you or your thought that missed by us and you would like to reveal here.

Thanks Challenger, I will post my questions for Sam now :)

Mine would have to be V for Vendetta. Very nicely done.
Nope. Unfortunately.
Her persistence and massive post count.
I'm in the cadets, My best moment was when I did rifle drill here (http://stgeorge.yourguide.com.au/news/local/general/lest-we-forget/1084640.html) as part of the Air Force Cadets.
My worst moment would have to be when my pants nearly fell off before a important parade.
