So... Basically, they published that without any proofreading? That aside, the whole premise of the article is fallacious. Australia is most certainly not "dying". That is an absurd statement. The drought may well be easing in NSW, and could improve in the other states as well in the short term. Face it, droughts are natural phenomena. You can't just shake the global warming stick and then expect things to suddenly change because you've identified the "problem". It's a very unprofessional piece. You don't cite the source of your claim that a farmer commits suicide every four days. I'm sure it would have had some mention in more mainstream news if that was the case. In fact, you don't cite any credible research to support your arguments. I'm not saying they're strictly incorrect, but right now they're nothing more than wild generalisations. The language you use doesn't flow, either. It sounds awkward, and your last two paragraphs really wouldn't look out of place on a Year 8 geography essay. Sounds like doomsaying, really.

My warrior on Guild Wars is named Ramrod the Butch. A name that strikes fear into all those who hear it!

Remember how I once said that FFVI was better than sex? Planescape: Torment defecates upon it from a great height.

... What? Pronunciation aids (accents, umlauts, etc.) suddenly make a language more complex? English is a downright terror to learn as a second or third language, as it was in my case, because it has too many damn exceptions. And yeah, there's always Mandarin for the linguistic masochists among you.

My girlfriend once woke me up with a call to say that I was supposed to meet her five minutes ago. In my defence, I had a busy night previous.

DragonForce, Cry for Eternity.

Metal: Dragonforce (Power metal, really, like Manowar and Hammerfall) Rammstein

Epic fail.

*Quickly fires up Photoshop*

LBX AC-10. Mechwarrior 4. For when you really need a shotgun the size of a small truck. Several of them.

George Silver, why are you such a pretentious hack?

It's spelt Ragnarok, by the way. I suggest you correct it before Loki runs away with your pants and sets fire to your nose hairs.

So does writing it in the vernacular. That isn't the point of an essay, though. Making meaning isn't the only function of an essay. An essay is supposed to state a position or make an argument, supported by evidence, and do so in a formal, intellectual way. I suppose it doesn't really matter at this point whether or not you write a proper academic essay, but it's something you should consider later on.

Royals going to war has plenty of historical precedent. More power to him. And, hey, if he gets killed by some hadji, you Poms are going to get pissed out of your minds and probably turn Iraq into a glass parking lot before your government mothballs your boomer subs.

Gangsta, please, not gangster. I won't have you sullying the name of good old Mikey Five-Teeth and his business associates down the road by associating them with these rubbish posers.

Nobody disagrees with my black coat.

So what were you doing in year 7 and 8? Making clay sculptures? O_o Regardless of whether this is your second year of "high school" or however that term applies to your educational system, the fact remains that you have had nine years of schooling prior to this, and should already have been instructed as to how to write an essay. Again, unless your entire system is backward and for some reason doesn't consider academic writing skills to be important.

dont forget the nudity xD Yes, I take that back. To be truly faithful to Elfen Lied, one would not only have to break the gallery rules, but also chain them down and violate them using a goat, two pieces of uranium and an Eskimo fisherman. And for a second character? Someone being dismembered?

There isn't nearly enough blood and miscellaneous gore for it to be faithful to Elfen Lied. =P

Well, obviously it does because you seem to be put off by it. And god forbid that you should try and improve on a crappy graphic. God forbid that people should think the style you use is poor. I don't think you have a right to tell me where to post. This is, after all a discussion board. If you can't handle criticism, get out.

It looks like a flattened banana. It's also too big for a spearhead. It would not look out of place on a glaive. You could, at the very least, have added some original embellishments that could make it look more interesting than how it does on Runescape.

As a future teacher, I feel that I must... critique... this essay. Corrections in bold.

That's not a uniform. That's a dress code for a bloody concentration camp. Uniforms are supposed to have at least some modicum of style.

In case you didn't know, that classifies as child abuse. If your parents weren't notified that you were being shown such material, that teacher is liable to lose his job and be charged with sexual harassment. That is, if your school system isn't run by a pack of savages.

And since you've been here since 2005, you should well know that I'm not a huge fan of Runescape-based graphics because I find them patently ridiculous and, frankly, a waste of time unless you can actually improve on them by throwing in something original and some degree of believability and realism.
