    Damn, I'm taking too many a lot of courses. Found out they all can be credit towards a Bachelor of Trivial Pursuit (B.TP) at Hasbro University.

  • Interesting

    I hope Tony Abbott watches OzB, he could use number 9.

      • Logged in just to neg this comment. What a buffoon, everyone is all too happy to rely on science and scientific knowledge from everything from watching television to treating cancer, but some people still reject climate science supported by 99% of actual climate scientists. You are up there with people rejecting cancer treatments and immunisation.

        • +1

          I wouldn't go that far. The people rejecting cancer treatments and immunisation are generally insane or have dubious mental health. In my experience, people denying man-made climate change exist are generally (i.e. not always, but usually) "normal" people who are just lazy and selfish - with the actual reason behind rejecting it being so they can continue to pollute all they want without having to feel the guilt or have to pay towards the damage they're inflicting to the planet.

          I feel sorry for the first lot, I despise the second!

  • This is the new New udemy ahahaha
