@TheMiddleWay So, correct me IF I'm wrong, BUT most Doctors are religious. Does that mean they actually offer up prayers BEFORE, DURING and AFTER they've treated/operated upon a patient? Where does that happen because in my years as a Nurse I never once saw a Doctor pray over any patient?

Triphid replies on Nov 26, 2018:

@jondspen Dust Storms used to be a very regular and common thing here right from when the town was first established and up until the late 60s-early 70s, now they are a bit of a rarity since people have been serious about helping the native flora, trees, etc, regenerate. In a book written about the beginnings of the Mines here there's a chapter that shows clearly how the biggest Mining Consortium, B.H.P. alone cut down virtually every tree within a 70 mile radius of the mines simply to use the timber for struts, etc, in their mine, one example was in 1889 they sent out 4 Bullock Drays ( long open wagons pulled by bullocks) in ONE day and the axe-men cut down over 50 tons of trees. There are place nearby where you can still see the stumps of the trees they cut down. Most of our dust storms were originated locally, within a 50-150 mile radius, but now we only get them when the dry and arid regions in the center of the country get really whipped up by strong westerly/south-westerly winds in seasons of drought like we are enduring at present. Yes, asthma has always been a problem here BUT air-borne lead dust, etc, was, without a doubt, the worst plus the smoke and dusts exhausted by the B.H.P. Smelter, now extinct thankfully.

Triphid replies on Nov 25, 2018:

@jondspen Well the usual actions taken when a dust storm rolls in are; 1) Batten down the hatches, i.e. close ALL doors and windows as tight as possible, 2) turn your Air Cooler (Evaporative types mostly out here) up to HIGH speed, leave the water pump in the OFF position and that will pressurize the house helping to keep most of the dust out, 3) bring the dog inside until the storm has passed, 4) try NOT to go outside during the height of the storm, IF you need to, wear a dust mask or a damp cloth tied around your face and wear sunglasses or some form of eye protection from the dust particles. There have been far worse dust storms here than the one on Nov. 20th. Storms that were so thick and heavy that they left a good inch or 2 of red dust all over houses, etc, after it had stopped, businesses would close up and send employees home, the local Silver/Lead and Zinc mines would usually keep the miners underground until it had passed and miners arriving for shift changes would be kept inside buildings as well. As school kids we'd be sent home immediately the storm was spotted on the horizon, not a really great idea because we either had to walk OR if we were lucky enough to have one, ride our bicycles home. One storm that I'll never forget rolled in at about 1.00pm on a school day while I was in High School, we were immediately dismissed from school and sent packing. The school was over 2 miles from my home, so I grab my bicycle and started pedaling like fury, by the time I'd gotten about half way home ALL I could see was my hand about 2 inches in front of my face and glimpses of the curbing on my left side. The next thing I knew I was pedaling UP a hill, at least that's what I thought it was, that WAS NOT there previously until I hit with a resounding thump into the inside back wall of a Furniture Removal truck where the removalists were sheltering from the dust. We all had a good laugh at my predicament, especially after one them said to me, " Shit mate, there are easier ways to ask for a lift you know."

Triphid replies on Nov 24, 2018:

@jondspen Well, considering that Australia IS a very dry and arid land away from the coastal regions and that at least 80% of the country has been in drought for almost 10 straight years, the deep inland regions are virtually dried out and bereft of the meager plant-life that holds the top soil in place a decent strong, mostly westerly wind can lift literally tons of top soil into the atmosphere thus creating massive dust storms that simply roll along endlessly. The problem in the American Panhandle was different in that it WAS created by the primitive plowing and planting methods used by the farmers up until the 1930, they simply ripped through every inch of land, probably cut down trees and natural protections for the top soil as they went with never a thought to the future disaster/s they were making for themselves and everyone else. As I've stated elsewhere, " Screw with the delicate balances of Nature and you do so at YOUR own risk."

I have scar to show, 3 damaged discs in my Lumbar spine and 2 in my neck courtesy of my abusive ex-wife ( now, happily for me, recently deceased) and every time I went for Police advise I was simply told to be a bloody man and sort it out for yourself, but I also had a young daughter to care for and protect I told them BUT still got fobbed off just as did numerous others who I have met and spoken to. The statistic you quote from ARE ONLY based upon those reported by women, mostly, because, as I said earlier, men have been brought up to 'put up and shut up' lest they be thought to less than men.

@273kelvin Ireland was INVADED and taken over by the British way back in Tudor times and before, plus it had the Catholics and the Protestants arguing with each other, most likely utilized by the Poms in my opinion, as well. And Yes, I disagree strongly with the tactics used such as indiscriminate bombings of public places, etc, for violence ONLY begets violence just as a dog ONLY begets another dog or as the Great Mahatma Gandhi said, " An for an eye ONLY serves to make the whole world BLIND." So, in my opinion, the Brits can't stand as Tall and Proud as they would like us to think, their hands are stained with as much blood as anyone else's, IF NOT even more.

Triphid replies on Nov 24, 2018:

FYI, I worked in a Slaughterhouse during my teen years and the animals there were quite HUMANELY treated and killed, NOT beaten with wooden rods until unconscious ( dead if they were lucky). It IS a fact that more stress under which an animal is placed releases hormones that adversely affect the quality of the meat for consumption, ergo, in civilized Western Countries great care is taken of animals bred for slaughter and meat consumption, but there are exceptions sadly, such as Battery Chicken Farms, etc, to which I strongly protest and say openly that they should be prosecuted. On a personal note, IF you are merely questioning/objecting because you are a Vegan/Vegetarian, well that is your choice of life-style BUT what would you do IF your partner was NOT of the same mind as you? Would apply pressure for him/her to change to suit your ways/beliefs, if that be so then are you NOT being just like those of a religious bent who seek to force US to change and be like them?

Just how many women in those historical times ACTUALLY claimed that the child they gave birth to was 'fathered' by a God? When you take a look into it, it was the ' fashion' trend to blame any unexpected pregnancy upon 'Divine' intervention in an effort to save oneself from the penalties of the law. E.g. Achilles mother claimed Zeus was his father, Alexander the Great's mother made the same claim and that just 2 of the instances.

Triphid replies on Nov 22, 2018:

@Julie808 In actual fact it was only named 'Saturnalia' simply because it fell on the dates during the lull in the Festival of the Lupicalia, it had nothing to do with the Pagan God Saturn, that name only came into existence AFTER the Xtianization flood took its toll. Then the growing Messianic Cult ( later to become Xtianity btw) realized that by 'usurping' it, as they did with ever so-called Pagan Celebration, they could not only profit from it but also not alienate the original followers. The so-called 12 days of Xmas are actually the 12 days of the Lupicalia including the Saturnalia Celebration of Gift Giving. And YES, I agree, any God is just a god and a 100% meaningless invention of mankind. So, let us instead schedule a Celebration of the Solstice for the Atheist/Agnostic Calendar.
