I went into bank and told the Teller that their machine had given me more than I requested and was abruptly INFORMED, "Our machines NEVER make mistakes," so I showed my receipt and then counted out the cash in front of her and still got the same response plus a somewhat harsh "Go away and stop being a nuisance."

Triphid comments on Apr 13, 2019:

The absolute, mindless, unnecessary and totally needless shit that Cancer Patients are subjected to makes my stomach churn and the anger rise up in me like a Tidal Wave. I was with my 15 year old Daughter, 24/7 for the 10 months of Chemo for Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and with her through the remission period until it returned and we were re-admitted to hospital until she passed away on January 7th, 2001. We suffered with people telling us that her cancer was " part of God's plan for her," she got cancer because she was defective and so she deserved it," " she was diseased and cancer was contagious," and innumerable other utter bullshit things from ADULTS who should KNOW better. It continued during the remission period as well and I so much felt like punching these rank IDIOTS in the mouth so often but actually managed to restrain the urges somehow. All I offer and say is " Don't let these arse-wipes get to you, DON'T let them get you down, you ARE stronger and better than they can EVER hope to be BECAUSE you ARE a Survivor."

Poor old Murray Darling [abc.net.au]

You reckon the Murray has it bad? Try the Darling from Cubbie Station down to Wentworth, it's as dry as a dead Nuns Twat, and where there are rapidly shrinking 'pools' of water left, they are toxic, full of blue-green algae and stagnant as well, all bar 1 of the Great Menindee Lakes Water Storage are dry as a bone too. All of this is BECAUSE of the Governments who gave carte blanc to the Cotton and Rice Growers like Cubbie Station to SUCK as much water as they liked from the river and its tributaries and whenever they felt like it. We have had 3 massive Fish Kills since the beginning of summer, at least 2-3 MILLION fish dead including Murray Cod estimated to be at least 100+ years old, though very few of those bloody nuisance, introduced European Carp have died because those mongrel fish could survive in bowl of filthy dishwater. The Murray-Darling Management Authority, the Governments and The Cotton and Rice Cockies NEED to be held to count, strung up on a barbed wire fence and flogged with a stock whip in my opinion, the Darling River IS the Life-blood of Far Western New South Wales, everyone out here relies upon it 100%, it has NEVER been this dry and dead in living or past memory. So PLEASE stand up and Fight tooth and nail for the Darling River and the Menindee Lakes Storage Scheme BEFORE they vanish forever.

On Thursday I had a wonderful trip to Ballarat, Victoria.

Triphid comments on Apr 13, 2019:

I truly enjoy it when my old Wedge-tail friend 'drops' in for her visits and cadges a free feed. She'd be about 7 years old now, found her in front garden, exhausted and almost starving to death one late summer's afternoon, she was so weak that I could pick her up with no trouble so I took her inside under the air cooler and gave her a mix of electrolytes and boiled water until the Vet, who has living 2 away, got home. He examined her and said that her chances of recovery were about 40% at best because she was most likely a late hatching and judging by the lack of muscles on her chests, etc, she didn't have the strength needed to keep up with the rest of brood when they flew off with their parents for the first time. Over the first week she was fed on mice, bought frozen from a Pet Shop and thawed out by me, every 2 -3 hours while she either nested in a big cardboard box or perched on a stand I'd made for her, she slowly gained strength and I could take her out into backyard and let her walk around on the ground, then she learned that if I whistled like an eagle it was time to come back inside for more food and patting. It took over 4 weeks to get her up to 'scratch' she had numerous attempts at taking off and short practice flapping flights, her 'meals' had increased in size from mice and the odd pigeon or 3 that I managed to entice into a netting trap plus kangaroo meat to a decent feed, a bloody large in fact, of about 500 grams of fresh 'roo meat 3 ties a day. Eventually she began to actually fly around my yard in ever increasing circles but she'd always return to me and come when called, then one day, with the help of the Vet, we decided she was ready for release. After a 50km drive to a creek where I knew there were other 'Wedgies' living regularly we let her free and I expected never to she her again. I was very wrong because 2 weeks later she returned, cadged a feed and had a few pats, shared picking meat from a bone with my Blue Heeler like they were the best of friends then casually lifted off and whistled as she flew away. Every year she has returned fairly regularly and has also brought her brood of young ones with her, but this last year, due to the drought, I never saw her until about a month or so ago, I though, sadly, that she may have died, but again I was wrong, she casually flew in one morning while I was sitting in the yard having a coffee, landed by my feet, lowered her head for the usual pat, then looked at me as much to say " I'm here, where's my free feed?" Nearly 3/4 of a kilo of roo meat later, a couple of drinks of fresh cool water, a couple of pats and an 'inspection' of the yard and off she flew again. She, Lady E as I call her, has been back a bit more regularly since which I think is mainly due to the lack of ...

How (and Why) Americans Were Taught to Hate Atheists

Triphid comments on Apr 12, 2019:

The religious hatred for Atheists, well ANYONE who was NOT a Christian in fact, began very early in the establishment of the insanity that became Christianity, i.e. somewhere back around the 4th or 5th Century C.E. As for its rise in the U.S. it most likely began almost as soon a the first 'pilgrims' set their feet on the dry land in my opinion, after all, it IS the nature of the Religious Monster to hate, detest and strive to eradicate anything, everything and anyone who does NOT subscribe to their archaic belief system.

Okay, it is a nice effort by a team who merely, in my opinion, used a computer to create an image based entirely upon, what even Astronomers say, are Educated Guesses since, a) we cannot actually see a ' Black Hole, only the ASSUMED events occurring around it, i.e. the Event Horizon, etc, and, b) since NOTHING can escape the Gravitational pull of a 'Black Hole', not even light, etc, then HOW does it compute that her image shows streams of light and materials emanating from the Black Hole in the first place?

The reason we do see god is because he lives in a black hole.

Triphid comments on Apr 11, 2019:

You've got be kidding, " God lives in a Black Hole," but we can't actually see Black Holes, just like God we can only IMAGINE what they MAY look like and since there's NO proof nor evidence that God ever existed or even exists then how one merely postulate that god resides anywhere.

Triphid comments on Apr 10, 2019:

As for the sanitizing AFTER a Nudist Cruise I think you'll find that clothed people carry far more germs, etc, on their clothing than Nudists do since clothing actual can and does create an ideal breeding ground and habitat for the numerous little nasties, germs, bacteria, etc, that drift through the atmosphere from one clothed body to the next. Clothing is similar to a trawler net, it catches the nasties in the threads, etc, and our body heat provides them the suitable temps, etc, for breeding. Our bare skin is our body's first and best line of defense against a great number of those nasties and the U.V. rays in sunlight are a natural sterilization agent. That is why medical sciences have found that those who launder their clothing, etc, then hang it out to dry on a clothes line in the sunlight have far less nasties on it than those who launder and the use a tumble dryer to dry the laundered clothing, etc. Plus, many Oncology Wards in Hospitals in particular install low-level U.V. lighting for precisely that reason, it actually sterilizes the air, etc.

Triphid comments on Apr 7, 2019:

My dear Sir, according to the first book of Genesis in the bible ( Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy as I prefer to call it), " In the beginning there was the WORD, and the WORD was with God." Now, anyone with an iota of nous knows full well that a WORD is nothing, i.e it IS merely a succession of alternating waves/vibrations caused by and from, for example, the vibrating of the vocal cords ( voice box) causing a series of waves of compressions and expansions ( Vibrations) in a solid, liquid or gas just as the written word is merely nothing more than the mere scratchings left upon a medium such as paper by an implement. Ergo, and logically speaking, God created everything simply from NOTHING, however, Science makes no such claim, it merely OFFERS up the Theory that the Universe arose from the POSSIBLE effects of Gravitational Compression upon a SINGULARITY ( a MASSIVE Singularity) caused that singularity to begin to heat up and eventual explode spreading it's remnants in ever increasing outward circles and spheres, ERGO, the Universe MAY have been created from SUBSTANCES and not merely, as you and the bible appear to falsely claim, from NOTHING. As for there being in existence and, as the bible followers repeated state, " God is and was beyond ALL time and Space, etc," then HOW exactly did, a) this being, entity KNOW that it existed in the first place, and, b) how did this thing/being/entity being of nothing in itself manage create substance from nothing when it would be unaware of anything other than nothing?

If, as the o.p. states, " it is advisable to live your life as if there is a God" then logically it is also condoning, promoting and advising, etc, they we ALL should behave as would this Abrahamic God, i.e. decide to send forth a massive flood and wipe out every living person save a few, commit genocide on neighbouring peoples and nations, commit rape and pillage with immunity, capture, keep and breed and sell slaves, etc, etc, the list is almost endless so I won't bother even trying to write the whole thing. But I will add this, NO thanks, I'll stay a decent, Heathen Atheist, a Humanitarian and Humanist, etc, rather than following in the footsteps of an Imaginary, Vile, Genocidal, Ego-centric, Psychopathic, Socio-pathic Dictatorial Tyrant.

Someone said that even if you don't believe in God, it is advisable to live your life as if there is...

Triphid comments on Apr 5, 2019:

IMHO, pure and unadulterated BULLSHIT. Live each day as if it were your last, be good to yourself, kind and considerate towards others, take from life and nature no more than you truly need and ALWAYS give more than you take, that's the motto I do my darnedest to abide by.

Scrap religion as a charitable purpose, says National Secular Society | Third Sector

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

In my honest opinion, biased as it may seem, there IS little or nothing in religions that can be remotely classed as being truly 100% charitable.

Okay .

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

You ARE who and what you are, be pleased to be yourself your TRUE beauty comes from within and not from with out, you ARE an individual, there IS none other like you, be proud.

For those of you in need of family planning advice.

Bummer....LOL.

Has anyone else noticed when a true non believer locates Agnostics.com?

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

You'd 100% correct on that one.

POS?

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

I seem to find that being alone and on the 'outside' is of great benefit, etc, to me as I can often just sit back, think, take stock of my self, my life, etc, without disruptions caused by having an overly large group of wannabe friends.

This is appropos of nothing but: I'd received this as a Friend Request today.

SCAM ALERT, most definitely Scam Alert imho.

I truly think the desperation is beginning to show with the ScumMo Lib-Nat Government.

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

PLEASE don't be fooled or sucked in by ScumMO and his Lib-Nat Party and their smoke and mirror tactics people, show them the door and tell them," Don't let it hit your arse on the way out" on Election Day, this IS our country, NOT theirs.

Funny thing I told my mom recently... "I feel like I'm approaching my 'best if used by date'".

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

I've never held with ideology that we have a "Best before " date/age. Like a good wine, or my personal case, a great Whiskey we get far better with age, experience and knowledge gained even though the 'bottle' may be a wee bit scratched, dusty and have an accumulation of cob-webs, the sediment may be very visible, as long as the 'cork' is still working as it should we are still going strong and worth the 'sip or two.'

Ancient whales walked on four legs and moved like giant otters [cnn.com]

Triphid comments on Apr 4, 2019:

Makes a great deal of sense given that modern whales, dolphins, etc, STILL have the rudimentary bones of both front and hind legs/feet.paws inside their bodies.

I've just had a haircut today. Tomorrow the barber will cut the other hair.

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2019:

I haven't had a haircut since early 2000, my brush and combs registered for Unemployment Benefits just afterwards.

I'm taking applications you bastards.

The revenge of the Giraffes, RUN, they're coming.

I guess it's time to do some housework...

Oh no, the dust bunnies are breeding again....LOL.

I guess it's tough being a religion and not being a religion at the same time. [lionsroar.com]

Oh those Bible Belt fundies, may logic and reason keep them far, far away from us all.

Victoria opens the way for secular or atheist school chaplains | Australia news | The Guardian

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2019:

A good idea BUT the Atheists SHOULD require to NOT be classified as being Chaplains, etc, it IS, imho, derogatory and insulting to say the very least.

Mass extinction?

Triphid comments on Apr 3, 2019:

Yes, climatic change due to mankind's love for burning fossil fuels has been underway since the beginning of the Industrial Age. Mankind has also been most sadly and steadily pushing innumerable other species to extinction ever since 'civilisation' came into being. We ARE going to be the cause of the GREATEST by far Mass Extinction ever to occur on this planet IF we don't soon wake up, learn and do something positive and world-wide.
