@Tejas No sorry there Sport, BUT "Brewers Droop" means it hangs soft, floppy and saggy NOT erect and proud. "Brewers Droop" aka, "the Piss-pots Prick, " Tankard Tackle" and a few other terms is caused mainly by over-indulgence in the amber liquid aka BEER.

Triphid replies on Oct 5, 2021:

@Tejas No, the so-called Prophesy of Isaiah was in the Hebrew Torah long before the New Testament was composed. It was the Prophesy of Isaiah that predicted that a Messiah would be born, etc, etc, and that is CONTAINED in the Old Testament and it begins on page 861 if memory serve correct. Christianity first began as a sect/cult known as the Messianic Followers circa 37 C.E. POST the supposed death of the Messiah supposedly called Yeshua in 33 C.E. The supposed Messiah, Yeshua, was never known nor called "the Christ" or "Kristo" in Greek UNTIL after the Messianic Cult spread into Greece circa 43-46 C.E. The N.T. ( New Testament) as well as the O.T. (Old Testament) were composed by some 40+ Scribes living on the 3 separate Continents, as they were known back then, Africa, Asia Minor (the Middle East as we know it today) and Mediterranean Europe, Italy mostly and the decision taken to create the so-called Holy Bible was made after much debate at the First Council Of Nicaea in325 C.E. with all bar 3 of the self-proclaimed 'Bishops" in agreeance.

Have you ever considered the possibility that people are twisting and perverting religion? Religion was designed to counteract that human tendency to pervert things, but it is no match for human nature.

Triphid replies on Oct 5, 2021:

@skado Well, tie has come NOT to merely consider that it MAY BE so but to actually REALISE that it has ALWAYS been so. Religions/Religious belief were INVENTED by Men wishing to CONTROL others and ensure that THEY had the better and best of EVERYTHING WITHOUT having to break into a sweat to get it.

@Canndue And I was referring to the churches NEVER having paid 1 brass razoo in taxes since they were first invented, the churches NOT the taxes btw. And, btw, when a church expects every member of the Congregation to cough their TITHES, they are, in ALL reality expecting them to pay a CHurch Tax, since Tax, Tithe, Levy, Tariff, etc, etc, ALL mean exactly the same thing.

@Tejas The Religious Sect now known as Christianity ONLY became recognised as a Religion AFTER the Council of Nicaea, convened by Roman Emperor Constantine in 325 C.E There it was also decided what so-called 'Holy Texts/Scriptures its followers would be required to adhere to, what would be found in those Holy Texts', that a story regarding the conception, birth and mission of a 'Holy Child who grows to manhood and allows himself to executed for the sake of all Humans MUST be created and included, that ALL women, girls and females shall be considered as being the chattels of men and totally subservient to men as well.

You are 100% correct saying that their silence is a sign that there is something very amiss. Who knows for certain exactly how much of OUR Tax money has been ferreted off to Hillsong and its off-spring churches here and elsewhere under ScumMo's MIS-Government.

BufftonBeotch comments on Oct 5, 2021:

I have a feeling that number is way too low if the period in question was over 7 decades. Probably at least 2 million. 200,000 were willing and healed enough to talk about what happened to them.

Triphid replies on Oct 5, 2021:

I'm afraid I'd have to agree with you there, 200,000 over a 70 year period is wat underestimated imo. Particular since the country of France has been Catholic ruled since circa the 12 century C.E.

"7 week old embryo too old to abort." Someone should acquaint these idiotic Texarse Law Makers of the REAL and ACTUAL Medical Facts concerning Pregnancies and the Development of the Human Foetus in Utero. 1, the embryo is just a clump of cells with little or NO resemblance what-so-ever to a Human being at 7 weeks of Gestation, 2, it IS quite safe to perform a Termination of Pregnancy up to and including the 12th or 13th week of Gestation, so long as said termination is performed by a Qualified and Professional Gynaecologist/Obstetrician and NOT a backyard, bent coat-hanger BUTCHER. 3, If it is, at 7 weeks of Gestation, that an embryo is TOO old to abort, then can they PLEASE explain why it is that embryo and foetuses are aborted, aka MISCARRIED, at much later stages and ages during Gestation?

Triphid replies on Oct 3, 2021:

Sadly we have been the U.S. "Faithful Bitch" since around W.W.II., I think it came about not long AFTER General MacArthur did his "runner" from the Philippines leaving thousands of U.S. soldiers behind. Going across the Pacific and back to the U.S. was a definite no-go for him because the Japanese would have just about every available submarine and warship out searching for him IF he scurried off that way. So, he came here instead where he felt he was safe and sound, figuring, I suppose, that he'd have a BIG audience of Colonial Rubes standing around , mouth agape, hanging on his every word of Brag and Bluster. In my opinion, it IS HIGH time that Australia and Australian Politicians started to learn and realise that the United States of Absurdity does NOT have Allies as such, they ONLY have SELECTED Pawns that they use as sacrifices when ever they see fit.

I've seen many a King Brown slithering its way up a river bank, across a road, in a paddock while I been helping to muster sheep, out shooting feral pigs, etc, etc, even cut one into pieces about 2 years ago when cutting firewood with a chainsaw one winter. It guess ut though that the fallen log would have been a great place to hibernate for the winter, bad lucky because I decided it would make for a nice warm fire instead.

Many of these cases with the Young Adults are due to them "leaping" in to a relationship that turns arse up eventually and the majority of reasons given was " I did it to spite/get away from my parents." Sometimes they ALSO do it simply to spite the society they live in, the culture they have raised in, etc, etc, BUT always, when it goes sour the first thing they set about ensuring is that THEY can claim any due benefits from the Department of Social Security.

We know our dogs have extraordinary senses…but can they sense the presence of a ghost?

OldMetalHead comments on Sep 30, 2021:

A lot of people think dogs can predict earthquakes, but it may be that their highly tuned senses are able to detect natural disasters in their earliest stages before they're detectable to us. The problem with proving such a thing is that there's no consistently measurable behavior that has been ...

Triphid replies on Sep 30, 2021:

Seismologists have researched in to the animal phenomenon surround their early reactions to Earthquakes and the like. They are, the majority of them that is, of the consensus that animals still retain a closer link to the natural world than do we humans who have evolved beyond such necessary connections for survival. Birds seem to become severely disorientated prior to Earthquakes and tremors, as do most other animals, domesticated or not, the same/similar seems to apply equally to marine creatures such as fish, marine mammals, etc, etc. Perhaps it is something that we humans lost as we evolved and need to re-connect with some how.

All my coffee is made at home, but if you find a good local place to get a good coffee, then that's great. Coffee here in town is usually like dishwater, so I prefer my own.

Triphid replies on Sep 30, 2021:

@Lilac-JadeCanada Ah, for me there are times when the inner me screams for a coffee hit when I'm out and about, especially when I go to the Doctor.

Got a wee bit of quandary here.

The cash payments, as per the court.

Yep, decision made, payments as per court, found a young bloke who is unemployed, wants to earn a bit of extra money, is an Atheist and his parents and I have been friends for 15 +years.

Quandary solved, staying with the Payments as Ordered by the Court, have found a young bloke, unemployed, eager to get a bit of work and earn some money who will do the lawns once per fortnight for $30.00 plus a decent mid-job tea/coffee break and some home-made snacks to go with them. Big Plus, He is also an Atheist and his parents and I have been friends for about 15 + years as well.

Triphid replies on Sep 30, 2021:

@MikeInBatonRouge No, in Medical terminology, PREVENTION means to STOP, Prevent a patient/patients FROM CONTRACTING the Disease/Illness/Infection, etc, etc, Reduction of CHANCE of Symptoms is, in medical parlance, TREATMENT of the Disease/Illness\/Infection which the patient is already suffering from, so IS Reduction of such Symptoms. Reduction of the numbers of Deaths IS Prevention of Associated Death caused by said Disease/Illness/Infection and that too is TREATMENT and PREVENTATIVE Treatment. Vaccinations ARE NOT a PREVENTATIVE measure, nor are they an Immunisation to STOP one from contracting a disease/Illness or Infection THEY ARE a Stimulant to the Auto-immune system for it to CREATE the necessary Anti-bodies that WILL help in FIGHTING the infective agent. Please tell that they DO teach Medical Staff a lot more than you can comprehend down there in Baton Rogue.

@BufftonBeotch I think that you will find that Religions, Churches in particular, get Tax Exemptions because they claim, falsely imo, to be Charitable Organisations. And, at guess, I'd hazard to say that Hovind sees himself that way as well.

I have to admit, this is a new one to me. Suggest that god could more easily give them the money by investing in lottery tickets, which you will “buy” for them.

Triphid replies on Sep 29, 2021:

Yeah I know, but the chances of ME buying THEM Lottery tickets is somewhere between Zero and Absolute ZERO. "Little Miss Never Wrong" as was her nickname as a child, rang me last evening to inform me that ALL 4 Banks have refused to consider their applications UNLESS they can put at least 15% in value Collateral or get a Guarantor to counter-sign on their behalf. She IMMEDIATELY started asking ME to go Guarantor for them AND put up my house as Collateral as well. I slammed the reciever down without uttering another word when I heard that. Today I shall be contacting ALL 4 of the Banks to formally inform that I shall NOT be counter-signing their applications NOR shall I be putting up my HOME as Collateral for them either.

Triphid replies on Sep 29, 2021:

I always make my own when I'm at home, but since the "Cafe" is a part of the G.P. Super Clinic set up and I always ensure that I'm early for appointments it gives me a chance to buy one from them. A fortnight ago I bought one from a cafe in the main street, it is called " The Silly Goat" and now I know why, the coffee was a bloody terribly BAD joke. Tasted as though someone had washed their dirty underwear and socks in it first then bathed the goat as well, $7.50 for a SMALL cup of coffee that I tipped into the rubbish bin after taking just one single sip.

Given you live in a hot climate, it would depend on how much you actually like working in your yard in the heat. If you don’t mind the yard work, you could put the $40 a month to better use I would imagine.

Triphid replies on Sep 29, 2021:

When it comes to the heat of summer I usually do yard work in either the early mornings or late evenings. Mow the lawns about once per months around 8-9 am in summer, never had any complaints about it from the neighbours thankfully. When I think about it, that $40 would just about cover getting someone in to the job every month or so and then I'd know the job would done properly as well.

@MikeInBatonRouge EXACTLY, " the vaccines REDUCE the the chances of contracting the the virus , etc, " but they DO NOT stop you from contracting it, they ONLY mitigate the effects of the resultant viral infection just as do anti-Influenza vaccinations and vaccinations for other illnesses as well, such as Polio, etc, etc.

@PondartIncbendog But surely NOT over such a short period. I know from a few still living Vet friends over in the U.S. that Veterans Health Care , etc, is a bloody shambles to say the least, but that tally MUST include, sadly and unfortunately Suicides as well and over a far longer span of time.
