Some biblical characters were based on actual people, although by the time anyting got written down it was all greatly;y exaggerated and distorted. For instance archeologists have found evidence that David actually existed, but he was not a great king so much as he was just a minor war lord who raided surrounding groups.

But, yes, for all that the stories changed from the few people who may have inspired the stories, the people as described int eh stories never really existed.

I love to point out to these folks, though of course logic and facts don't matter to them, if they and their families moved closer to the equator. As their kids had kids, then their kids had kids, and the generations kept going . . . guess what would keep gradually happening to their skin?

Shit no, we Aussies get our winter winds from down that way, try to imagine the putrid stench that we'd cop if it was full of stinking God-botherers, it's already bad enough when the winds blow in from the East and we cop the stink of all the Bullshit that Canberra and Houses of Parliament exude year in and year out.

OMG

I was thinking Alcatraz. We could watch the liberals from Calif float by in a sight seeing boat, throwing peanuts at the monkeys.

Wyoming is way to pretty for them. They are going to ruin the place really fast so we should be careful about what they get. Perhaps a large island, at least we could contain them. They are going to have a lot of guns and this way they could only hit the water. I do not think Alcatraz is large enough, but that island does have some good points. Sharks!

@dalefvictor Oh come now,. We can get millions on that rock.

@PondartIncbendog You remind me that the landing place for all alien life forms is there. Having all those idiots shoot at aliens is not a good idea.

Surprised at your casual attitude toward the Inuit whose land it is. Very Trump like.

@Healthydoc70 here is an example how easily the deranged start to ‘rearrange,’ the otherwise normal thinker!

@Healthydoc70 they can be relocated in Alaska which the Aleutians is a part of. Population in Aleutians is a few hundred. Not their property the US government property, bought from Russia. They can be very well compensated and we get rid of nazis. Greater good..

I'd be more inclined to give them Bikini Island. Nobody has been livign there since they did the nuclear bomb tests.

@snytiger6 at a little over 2,000 square miles the atoll could never hold all the nazi morons, unless of course some happen to fall down the plane by "accident."

No!

We'd have to figure out how to sve Austin if they went to Texas

@snytiger6 just got to move tbe music away...lol.. all they will need are hymn books. Lol

As my Dad always used to say, " You really get to know who your true friends are when relgion comes in to it."

Funny that isn't it how they have this idea that everyone from the Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy was white-skinned, blue-eyed and only spoke medieval English and Jeebus was the spiiting image of Cesare Borgia.

@Triphid I was in Broken Hill a lot of years ago - part of an amazing Aussie trip! several coworkers were in Victoria helping out with the fires too

@bookofmorons Shit, those bush fires this time around were without a doubt the worst there have ever been.
Out here we had a few deliberately lit grass fires but nothing compared to the others.
The firebugs concerned with starting our grass fires were caught, faced the court and are now doing 200 hours of Community Service each cleaning up the fire sites and replanting vegetation, etc.

@Triphid good but those idiots need to be on a fire line and put their lives at risk too

@bookofmorons I would trust them within a mile of a set of matches let alone on the front line fight a fire.
i reckon arsonist like them should be fined ( as they have been), made to do Community Service AND be forced to stand by and watch as their most treasured possessions are heaped up, soaked in diesel and burned.

@Triphid go for it!

@bookofmorons Tried suggesting exactly about 5 years ago but the back-lash from the 'Bleeding-Heart Snowflakes' was unbelievable to say the least.
In one of the fires we had, we lost a colony of very rare and endangered lizard species out this way, thankfully though there are a number of us around here who are doing a 'back-yard' captive breeding programme with that species
Stuff like , " Undue and Unfair punishment," " Mental Cruelty," " Barbaric Treament," " Draconianism," and tons more besides.
And yet at least 90% of them are the same ones who get all het up and start sceaming about buying eggs from caged hens, breeding sheep and cattle, etc, for meats BUT never a word passes their lips when thousands of Native Fauna and Flora gets incinerated in fires that are started by these Arsonists.
