19:06:00 <Glenn> Long time, no see... how you been?
19:06:00 AusAsia-M ([email protected]) has left #hongkong
19:06:00 <babee> ah...back to uni for a wk wif a lot to sort out
19:06:00 <Glenn> :))
19:07:00 <Glenn> Just watching the news... about those Aussies who were kicked out of China for the support for Falon Gong...
19:08:00 <babee> yeah..whats happening
19:08:00 <Glenn> Don't have a lot of sympathy for them.. they knew before they went to China what would happen if they played up... so they shouldn't have been surprised.
19:09:00 <babee> well going there will be asking for trouble
19:09:00 <babee> i dunno y suddenly all these aussie support for the group
19:10:00 <Glenn> Yeah... doesn't matter what we (Australians) think of what China does in its own country... if we visit, we have to behave by THEIR laws and standards... not ours!
19:10:00 Weakest-Link ([email protected]) has joined #hongkong
19:11:00 <Glenn> As near as I can tell, that Falon Gonng group seems to be an Asian variation of money grubbing American evangelical religeons...
19:11:00 <babee> well yeah ..china isn't exactly a democratic country and i think the aussies here r too spoiled by their own government
19:11:00 <First_love> no don
19:11:00 <First_love> me at dinner brb kz
19:11:00 <babee> i think they're seen as more than that by china
19:11:00 <Glenn> He Mia!
19:11:00 <First_love> hi
19:11:00 <First_love> dinner brb
19:12:00 <Glenn> OK... :))
19:13:00 <Glenn> You're right there babee... and all Australians should know that. If they don't then they have no business visiting the country, then trying to tell the governement of that country how better to run it.
19:13:00 <Glenn> hi Weakest-Link
19:14:00 <babee> as far as i'm concerned there's just too much democracy happening here
19:14:00 <babee> all these protests and walk offs and stuff like that
19:14:00 <babee> its making the economy inefficient and they're selfish in doing that
19:15:00 <babee> i mean their facilities and environment r already way better than those in asian countries
19:18:00 <Glenn> Yeah... and most of the ppl's on these protests are dole bludgers too...
19:18:00 <babee> well here they get paid to protest..
19:18:00 <Glenn> Let's face it... you can't be a tree hugger in the bush while trying to hold down a full time job...
19:18:00 `dwee ([email protected]) has joined #hongkong
19:18:00 <Glenn> Yeah... there's a bit of that too...
19:19:00 <Glenn> hi `dwee
19:19:00 <`dwee> hi!
19:20:00 <babee> maybe they should spend the time lookin for work instead
19:20:00 <Glenn> ...or have their dole payments cut as compensation to the taxpayer for the trouble and expense they cause...

19:22:00 Glenn is now known as linying
19:23:00 <babee> yeah
19:23:00 <linying> Should then stop a lot of the trouble.. :))
19:23:00 <linying> Save the taxpayer a fortune...
19:23:00 <babee> well then they'll start sayin that this isn't a democratic country
19:25:00 <linying> ppl's should be allowed to have their say... just so long as it doesn't impact on the lives of others... or be done at the financial expense of others
19:26:00 <babee> hahahaa
19:26:00 <babee> endless debates can be based on that topic i think
19:31:00 <linying> ...back. Couldn't type anything... :((
19:31:00 <babee> ya
19:31:00 <linying> Yeah... many debates could be had on those topics...
19:33:00 <babee> yah...
19:34:00 <linying> How's Uni going?
19:34:00 <babee> hahahaa i dunno yet
19:34:00 <babee> its not the studying part bothering me atm
19:34:00 <babee> its the other matters relating to uni that i'm not happi about
19:35:00 <linying> ...timetabl clashes... books... finding the rooms..?
19:35:00 <babee> i had a hellish 3 wks about the time table
19:35:00 <babee> long story
19:36:00 <babee> but it's the toughest timetable i had in my whole uni career
19:36:00 <iKob> hi jane
19:36:00 <linying> heeheehee... I know the story well.. have been involved in sorting out timetable problems for my department... major stuffups... lectures in laboratories, tutorials for 40 in rooms capable of holding 20...

19:37:00 <linying> hi ChanOP
19:37:00 <babee> yeah..the stuff ups apparently comes from the electronic sign on network
19:37:00 <babee> so basicallly all the lecturers r washing their hands
19:38:00 <iKob> hi linying
19:38:00 <iKob> babee; job searching has been shit
19:38:00 <iKob> linying: who are u may i ask?
19:39:00 <linying> Yeah... same here... and also the centralised timetable control. My campus is 160 kilometers (100 miles) from the idiot/s responsible for the timetable... we figure that not only have they never been here... they probably don't even know where we are anyway.
19:40:00 <babee> hahahahahahahaha
19:40:00 <babee> yeah...the uni IT staff arne't doing their jobs well
19:40:00 <babee> don: y shit?
19:40:00 <iKob> cos no jobs
19:41:00 <linying> The staff on Gippsland campus are pretty good... no-one has nice things to say about their city counterparts...
19:41:00 <babee> yeah..bad time for IT atm..maybe u should go back to uni
19:41:00 <iKob> yeah if i wish
19:42:00 <iKob> i mean yeah i wish
19:42:00 <babee> glenn: yeah..everyone is really nice on my campus..but they don't even know each other when they're back in the main campus
19:42:00 <linying> ...do post-grad... you did graduate didn't you?
19:42:00 <babee> i like my campus even though it takes 2.5 hrs to get there
19:42:00 <linying> Where is it babee?
19:42:00 <babee> ipswich
19:42:00 <iKob> no money to do postgrad
19:43:00 <linying> Wow... so far!
19:43:00 <linying> ...scholarship?
19:43:00 <babee> hahahaha u know ipswich?
19:43:00 <babee> ikob: there's a thing call PELS
19:43:00 <babee> its like hecs but for postgrad
19:43:00 <linying> post-grad by research usually pays a stipend and also the course fees...
19:44:00 <babee> just go for PELS
19:44:00 <linying> Nope... heard of it and that's all.
