From way back in 1969....Tommy Roe. - Dizzy. [youtu.be]
Triphid comments on Mar 20, 2021:
Holy Moley, now that's an oldie for sure. Back when I was just 14 years old I got the chance to be "Guest Announcer" on our local A.M. Radio Station for 4 consecutive Saturday nights. That song WAS the most requested one we ever had.

@Marionville Who, Tommy Roe or me? I was born in 1953, December, 21st. to be exact btw, so I'm most definitely NOT anywhere near 52 years old.

@Charlene Was the U.S. ACTUALLY INVITED into South Korea or the Ukraine, etc? Fyi, I am part Aussie Aboriginal, part American Cherokee and Navajo, part white, part lots of other nationalities as well, though I am Heterosexual. We DO have the ANNUAL LGBTQI Mardi Gras here in N.S.W. PLUS, here WHERE I live, we ALSO hold the Annual " Broken Heel Festival" as well. I can honestly say that I know a number of local LGBTQI people around this town and from elsewhere as well, so, please feel most free to "put that in your pipe and smoke it." Our Kiwi brothers and sisters from across the 'creek' a.k.a. N.Z. tossed YOUR Nuclear ships OUT of their Harbours a few decades ago and, imo, Australia SHOULD have done exactly the same as well your Spy Base at Pine Gap in the Northern Territory. As to my Aboriginal Peoples, Australia has now in place the Marbo Rulings, Aboriginal Land Rights, etc, etc. " Boat People" is a terminology used for foreign Refugees who CHOOSE to come to Australia by PAYING passage on boats operated by People Smugglers, they come from numerous places like Asia, India, Pakistan, etc, etc, literally crammed into UN-Sea-worthy vessels, etc, etc, and are trying to circumvent the Immigration Points of Entry and were LANDED in remote, harsh regions on our vast coast-line btw.

No, we HAVE NOT set up Military Bases in OTHER People's Countries so THEY will get hit first when a War starts.

@PBuck0145 As an Aussie I can support her conjecture SINCE we have had a Universal Medical Care System, known as Medicare, in place for DECADES and absolutely NO-ONE has gone Bankrupt because of it. Here WE do NOT really need that so-called 'Private Health Insurance' UNLESS we deem that we truly NEED it or are just too darned uppity to accept being in a Hospital Ward with other 'commoners, etc.' From January 2000 to January 2001 my 15 year old daughter went through Chemotherapy for Mature B Cell Lymphoma requiring 9 x 21 day Cycles of Chemotherapy, each being of 7 days of Hospitalisation, 7 days of with an injection of G.C.S.F. EACH day as an Outpatient and 7 days of Recovery. Each dose of Chemotherapy given by Intravenous infusion cost between 3,000 and 6,000 DOLLARS each time, each G.C.S.F. injection cost $1,000 EACH PLUS I.V. Transfusions of either Whole Blood or platelets AFTER each Chemotherapy Treatment as well. And that is NOT including the Fees for the Hospital Room, the Nursing Staff, the Doctors, the Meals, etc, etc. My SOLE Income at the time was approx. $850 per Fortnight btw.

@Lilac-JadeCanada Just go a most unexpected surprise and a bit of a shock as well. Minding my own business and checking out things around my front gardens, a car pulls up at my gate, a well dressed woman wearing the same outfit as the Staff at our new Kmart Store, say to me, " Ah, just the person I'm looking for." I must have looked quite puzzled because she then says, "You Helped to deliver twins in our Store on Tuesday morning did you not, well I'm here to Thank You and to give you something we all think you deserve." She opens up the door of the car, hands me a complete set of Queen sized Egyptian Cotton Bedsheets and 4 Egyptian Cotton Bath Towels saying " These are for you for being in the right place, at the right time and knowing exactly what to do as well, please accept this small gift as our expression of our Gratitude." I must have looked a real bit of dummy, just standing there not knowing what to say as she handed them to me. I managed to get out, " No need for this, it is what I was trained to do and I'll always do, I don't do it for anything except the joy of seeing a baby born safe, sound and as healthy as possible." "Well". she said, "like it or not, I won't be taking them back to the Store just as I told Selene about 20 minutes ago at the Hospital when I delivered to her 2 sets of new Cot Sheets, 2 new Cot Blankets, 2 sets of Baby Clothes and 2 packs Nappies for New-Born Babies as a gift from us to her new babies." She then handed me the bundle, got into the car and drove away while giving me a very BIG smile and a wave as well.

Yes, and I can imagine that at some time soon Dad and Mum may well have what we, Henry's Mum, Dad, Grandpa and I , call the " Henry Episode" as well. Before C-19 came along and Henry was just 3 years old, we had a barbecue Birthday Party for Henrys 3rd. Birthday. One of Naomi's, Henry's Mum btw, friends brought her 2 month old baby daughter along. In the midst of the Party, Baby needed changing so she proceeded to do so. Henry, being a very curious boy, decided to watch the event. Suddenly, with eye wide open, a shocked look on his young face, Henry yelled out, " Mum, he hasn't got a Willy, he's not finished yet." Hence the " Henry Episode" came into being and remains with us even to this day.

Yes once, quite funny as well. The Mother-to-be was already in the Delivery Room after her waters had broken, more like gushed, and as we were getting her onto the Delivery Bed she said, " I'm very sorry, but I think I need to have very big fart." We looked at each other and her and just said, " Go ahead, it relieves the pressure," as a kind of a joke. Well it wasn't a fart as such that burst forth, it was her 3rd. baby, a boy weighing in at 7lbs 8 ounces that ' shot out' almost like a cork from a Champaign bottle. I remember that one so clearly because, ironically, her Last name was, of all things, " Popovich." And I'm not joking there either. When she was asked what his name was going to be, she laughed and said, " Haven't worked that one out as yet, but his nickname will always be Magnus, Magnus Popovich."

Since Egyptian Law stated that ONLY Egyptians and Foreign Enemies could be sentenced to Death then Moseh and his Criminals had to Exiled from ALL lands belonging to or governed by Egypt. But that episode is recorded as happening in the reign of King Seti 1, father of Ramses the Great not, NOT in the reign of Ramses the Great.

Where does it SHOW clearly that this mythical Exodus ACTUALLY occurred during the Reign of ANY Egyptian King named Rameses, was it Rameses the First, the Second, the Third, etc, WHICH King Rameses was it, WHY has there NEVER been ANY evidence found at the bottom of the RED Sea to SHOW that HUNDREDS of Egyptian Soldiers, Chariots, Horses, etc, WERE DROWNED ALL at EXACTLY the same time and in EXACTLY the same Place? WHERE, exactly and Precisely IS this Tomb in which the mythical Jesus was laid to rest and from which he is ' CLAIMED' to have Risen AFTER being resurrected?

Triphid replies on Mar 11, 2021:
@RussRAB Yes, you ARE 100% correct about the Mormon ( Moron) Church. In 2008, a very good friend of mine, even though she was a Mormon at the time, both Verbally and in writing resigned from the local Mormon Church in person at the Sunday Meeting/Service. It took 6 months and a Court Case BEFORE they, the Church, acknowledged her resignation. In that ensuing time period she received an AVERAGE of 1 written Notice per week DEMANDING that she pay the Tithes she owed the Church plus accrued Interest as well. The FINAL Demand Notice arrived in the first week of the 6th month telling that " The Church fully intended to place a Lien upon ALL of her Property, House, Furniture, Personal Possessions, etc, etc, to gain recompense for her UNPAID Tithes and intended to SELL such Properties to regain them." Being in her late 60's at the time she WAS very Distraught, Worried, Upset and literally Terrified as one would only expect her to be. So, upon hearing from her of this disgusting situation and reading through the 3 massive bundles of Demand Notices as well, several of the locals, myself included btw, both, while doing the local 'tradition of "Passing Around the Hat' to raise funds for her, and persuading her to seek Legal Advice on the matter we ended up getting her an Appointment with a Reputable, local, Law firm and raising a total of $11,208 as well. We specified that the Funds raised WERE NOT to be used to pay the Unpaid Tithes BUT to pay for Legal Advice and Court Costs as well. The Law Firm, upon hearing of this decided that the ONLY payments that they WOULD accept would be for essentials such as Writs, etc, and NOTHING else. To cut a long story short, the Case went to Court, the Judge heard the case for 3 whole days of sittings, then handed down HIS Decision. In essence the Decision went something like this, " I find that the Plaintiff has been harassed, caused Emotional and Mental Traumas ILLEGALLY and Immorally by the Church Of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints here in Broken Hill and as such I AWARD the Plaintiff compensations amounting to a Total of $15,500 PLUS ALL COSTS, Court Costs included, a WRITTEN and SIGNED Apology to the Plaintiff FROM the Church, A Restraining Order upon the Church and ALL of its members to Stay Away from the Plaintiff for a period of NOT less than 2 Calendar Years from this date, to Never Again make ANY Contact with the Plaintiff Permanently and SHOULD ANY member/Representative of said Church breach these Orders they WILL be subject to the Fullest Extent of the Law and be imprisoned for Not less than 3 years on each Breach to be served Consecutively and NOT Concurrently."

@Deb57 Sorry to 'burst your bubble" here BUT by no means was my intent to make it solely "about me" as you so claim. I was, however, using my own abuse history as an EXAMPLE. Be well prepared to be sickened at the following IF you dare to read it. From my sadly copious files here, January, 29th, 2001, a young man, shall we call him him "Joe," since I WILL NOT use his ACTUAL name, rings me at 10.30pm threatening suicide. Case # 1 of the many. Even though I AM going through the Grieving Processes from the recent loss of my own Daughter to cancer, I attend him where he is and we talk. His problem, As a child , a young child, he wet his bed at night as most young children so often do. HER, solution, apply an Elastrator Ring to the top THRID of his penis BEFORE he goes to bed one night. The NEXT morning, "Joe" awakens to find the TOP third of his PENIS is now blackened and DEAD. For the intervening years "Joe" has ALWAYS hidden himself away when needing to urinate, MUST ALWAYS sit or squat to urinate, has always been ashamed/afraid that OTHERS might see his 'strange looking penis. Now, "Joe" finds that he is deeply in love with a girl around his own age, hormones surge on both sides of the romance BUT " Joe" cannot truly respond since his penis is nowhere near what it should be thanks to his 'loving mother.' "Joe" now finds himself in an Emotional and Mental "HELL' not of his OWN making, th ONLY solution he can see in the dark hole that is his life is to die. Yes, "Joe" is alive today, "Joe" was also fortunate that he both JUSTICE in that FINALLY his 'mother' was Charged and Prosecuted for her Acts of Abuse AND that a very kindly and Understanding Plastic Surgeon managed, after 2 failed attempts btw, to GRAFT on to his Brutalized and Savaged penis the 'missing' top one third from an Organ Donor. " Joe is now married, has 2 young children and ALSO has a penis that functions as you can guess by him being the Father of his 2 children. Case # 2 of my many and a somewhat recent cases as well. " Bel" or Belinda as she now calls herself, birth name Hamish. A Pubescent Girl/Woman trapped by both her parents and the Catholic School she attends in a MALE body. "Bel" starts developing somewhat prominent BREASTS, her genitalia only bear a very slight resemblance to those of a male, so her parents decide that she MUST bind her growing breasts as tightly as possible to HIDE them. "Bel" eventually rebels and dons female attire, which she has stolen from her sister, one day at school, an UP-ROAR occurs from the School Principal, etc, the parents are summoned, " Bel" is given the 'choices (???)' of either Remain as a Girl Trapped in a body of a boy OR face Expulsion and Excommunication of her and her whole family.

Remember, if you will The Trail of Tears where approx. 7,000 men, women and children from the Cherokee peoples and their allied " Civilised Nations" were herded like cattle from the Carolinas to Oklahoma, of the 7,000 that started the walk ONLY approx. 3,000 survived, the SLAUGHTER and attempted Genocide committed by George Armstrong Custer on a quiet, sleeping, peaceful Indian village containing ONLY women, children, babes in arms and OLD men PRIOR to the the Battle of the Little Bighorn where Custer got exactly what was due to him, i.e. his Genocidal Arse kicked firm up between his ugly, bigoted shoulders, the ' introduction' of the Bounty of Baubles, Beads, Booze, during French-American Wars etc, etc, for Scalps by the French and English Settlers to the Native American Indians BEFORE the War of Independence, the 'providing of KNOWINGLY Infected blankets riddled with Smallpox' to the Native Americans, the buying, selling/trading of Native American Women and girls by the White Settlers, poisoning of water-holes used by the Native Indians by the Whites, need I go on further. The Great American Holocaust is STILL alive and kicking BUT no-one dares to bring Charges of Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity, etc, against the U.S. do they?

I can explain that to you quite easily btw, in her own words she INFORMED me when she THOUGHT that she may be dying in September, 1998 how she "would have 4 other children, i.e. 1 pregnancy between each the 5 of us ACTUALLY survived long enough to be born and live that is, by self-aborting at least 1 pregnancy between each of us. Or, perhaps, how she blamed the defects suffered by my youngest sister, the last of her pregnancies btw, defects such as Mental Disabilities, Renal Disfunctions, etc, etc, on the Umbilical cord RATHER than her 3 repeated and failed self-abortion attempts.

@Lilac-JadeCanada Big plus is that I also spotted a few plants that I can snatch some cuttings from as well for my gardens. Time to clean and sharpen up the old secateurs methinks. My last little night sojourn got me some really nice pieces of Water lilies for my garden pond.

Kind of 'tempted ' to use one of my security cameras but the 'Chapel' is way out of range for me to receive and record unfortunately. It was, after all, a 3 mile round trip this morning, a nice walk though, cool, quiet and well worth it.

FROM LECTURES ON DOSTOEVSKY BY JOSEPH FRANK What exactly does "faith" mean?
Canndue comments on Mar 7, 2021:
Faith, from a religious perspective seems futile at best. But faith does play a part in human life. For example, I have faith in my spouse. Without that the relationship would be in taters. I have faith that the restaurant will provide a good meal, and if they fail for any reason , make up for it.....
Triphid replies on Mar 9, 2021:
@Canndue Fair enough, so let us agree to disagree on this subject shall we.

Triphid replies on Mar 9, 2021:
@Canndue In my somewhat educated opinion here, Trust is something that is gained, earned, learned, etc, etc from lessons, experiences, etc, and can be often relied upon. Whereas Faith, for example, is based SOLEY upon either Wishful/Hopeful thinking OR, in the case of Religious beliefs, something that one is TOLD that one MUST have or thrust upon you by those around you, i.e. " Blind Faith." It is easier for 'faith' to let you down when you most need it than it is for 'trust' do so, imo. One can have TRUST in a Mechanic, Electrician, Builder/Carpenter, etc, etc, because he/she has, more often than not, the documentary evidence and previous tasks available to SHOW that he/she IS Trustworthy. Whereas, on the other hand, FAITH is merely nothing more a Presumption/Assumption that it IS there.

Christians answer to authority without question, they weren't thinking, just following orders.

@Healthydoc70 Definitely so considering ALL Nazi belt-buckles had the words " Gott mitt Uns" (God is with Us) stamped into them.

@snytiger6 WHAT, they're NEVER biased, just single-minded ( because their Preacher does ALL their thinking for them), semi-brain dead, Arse-wipes that couldn't tell their arse from their elbow unless someone explained the difference to them in words of 2 syllables or less.

Triphid comments on Mar 9, 2021:
Well that deals a massive blow to those who insist that Hitler was an Atheist and ALL the Nazis were as well doesn't it. Well done for posting that but you can bet you'll cop flak from a few at least.

@CuddyCruiser Joseph Stalin, born as Loeb Besarionis dze Jughashili was the youngest son of a Russian Orthodox Lay-Preacher, became the Bearer of the Russian Orthodox Church's Triple-Armed Cross at the age of 11 years, married in the Orthodox Church at 21 years of age, his wife died from complication of Giving Birth to their still-born daughter 3 and a half years later. He remained a member of the Russian Orthodox Church right up until his death. I don't know where you get your often erroneous information from, be it the backs of Cereal Boxes, the walls and doors of Public Lavatories, etc, etc, BUT I humbly suggest that you ACTUALLY try reading BOOKS for a change. You do KNOW what books are and look like I assume?
Would you say that agnostics are likely to be more intelligent than theists or atheists?
BestWithoutGods comments on Jan 19, 2021:
Theists and atheists have their beliefs. Theists believe in gods based on blind faith, and atheist do not believe in gods due to facts and evidence. However, nobody knows everything. Therefore, it is scientifically reasonable to keep part of one's mind in a questioning mode. I know that I have ...

Triphid replies on Mar 9, 2021:
@Canndue But, is NOT Faith merely a type of belief/believing WITHOUT any Evidence, etc, to support it, whereas ACTUAL Trust is an understanding/emotion based on previous experience/, knowledge and shown/ visible evidence/s?

Your question does not make sense. It's grammatically incorrect.
Triphid replies on Mar 9, 2021:
Sorry but it IS grammatically correct in relation to both subject of the riddle and object involved as well.

Triphid replies on Mar 8, 2021:
Is it NOT merely TRUST in your Spouse rather than FAITH that you have perhaps? Do you have TRUST that your Spouse is true to you and you alone rather merely having the FAITH that he/she really is? The word FAITH is a very ambiguously used word is it not, with almost countless meanings, etc. Whereas 'TRUST' is an instinctually driven emotion that is derived and grows from knowing from experience, knowledge and skills, etc, etc, gained for example. We LEARN to TRUST ourselves and others from what we experience from them, the same goes with our own abilities, skills, talents, capabilities and the like. We TRUST that others will treat us as we treat them and TRUST that are as decent as we are BUT we learn about them through trusting them as we go along. To my way of thinking, WHEN a person says to, " Have Faith in me," it rings instinctual Alarm bells because cannot be earned where Trust has to be earned. The old saying, "A Leap of Faith" imo, means simply " Don't look, don't think, just do and hope for the best," somewhat akin to the old adage about when someone shakes your hand and pat you on the back and says, " Have Faith in me," IS he/she merely being friendly OR is he/she simply using his/her free hand to seek out the best place in which to stab you in the back? Conversely, imo, when someone tells me, "Trust me," I see as being that THEY are putting THEIR reputation on the line with those words rather than using a bit 'banter' to ease your doubts, etc.
