Triphid replies on Feb 2, 2021:

But what "logical explanation" can there be for killing/murdering another human being? And Yes, there is the question of Euthanasia, but that is imo, permitting a fellow human being who is suffering from either Terminal cancer, etc, etc, or other illnesses, etc, to actually die with peace and dignity rather than in, often, terrible pain and anguish. I agree that Euthanasia SHOULD be permitted BUT I do NOT see any logic in either the biblical mass murdering/genocides nor one or more humans merely killing another or others for what-so-ever reason/s they put forwards.

@JimG Yes, the God-bothering clans do their very best to attribute such things just as one we had on dig about 500+ miles north-west of where I live late in 2019 before Covid came along and we shut it down. The Dig Team were initially searching for native Mega-Fauna remains and fossils but to their surprise they found an almost complete skeleton, dated to approx. 35-40,000 years ago, of a human being whose height, when the almost complete, sadly minus its toe bones and a few finger bones, measured out at approx. 6' 7" and with skull features that resembled a Neanderthal- Australian Aboriginal inter-breeding scenario. Almost immediately, we had one of the team, a devout believer btw, actually jump up and start yelling that we'd found evidence of a race of Giants as per the bible who were living in Australia at the same time as Goliath was in the Middle East. Try as hard as she could though, she couldn't explain how the dating of the remains was vastly out of synch with her bible, the remains had a tooth embedded into one of the rib bones of a Marsupial Lion know to have lived and hunted in Australia at around those times and that skeleton was female as well. Cases of what is known as Gigantism in Humans have been scientifically and medically recorded for centuries around the world and even cases of it still occur to this day. LOL, she got very upset when one of the team put forward, as joke btw, that " Mrs. Goliath had divorced Mr' Goliath, took their kids and emigrated to Australia using the Shekels she gained in the Property Settlement."

@St-Sinner I grew up the son of an Underground Miner working in the Sliver, Lead and Zinc Mines here, money was tight back in the 50's and 60's. Broken Hill was only established in the 1880's because the Mineral Deposits were discovered by accident. Originally, the Mines were owned and operated by the Broken Hill Proprietary Company, aka, BHP, locally know as the Big Heartless Pricks by the old time Miners btw, men worked in the mines for very little almost as slaves, there WAS no running water for the township until approx. late 1940's - early 1950's when the the townspeople united and built and paid for a Pipeline to bring water from the Darling nearly 70 miles east of here, before that there WERE only 'Water Trains delivering water to town 6 times per week. When BHP packed up and left, other Companies started mines and things got better, the Workers got better wages and conditions, the Companies and the Workers paid for and built a Big Hospital, an Electricity Generation Station to supply EVERY house with Electricity, A Water Filtration Works, a Sewage treatment plant, Sewage systems to every home, etc, etc. No, it was NOT quite Third World BUT it WAS bloody hard, harder than you can guess. IF you fancy doing a bit reading and Research, check around for books available about the History of Broken Hill, etc, they may open up your eyes.

I knew that the Fitter liked to pull pranks on 'newbies' so I knew instinctively what to do. I simply told the 'newbie' that he needed to sit outside for half an hour, then come back in, go out again, wait 10 minutes, come back in and then repeat it again. Which he did, finally when he returned for the last short wait, I handed him an ordinary Philips Screwdriver and told him it worked ONLY for Left-handed people BUT only on screw that were right threaded ones....LOL. He walked away smiling and happy ....LOL.

Triphid replies on Jan 28, 2021:

@azzow2 To SUCCESSFULLY attack/defeat a virus they NEED to attack it at its core, i.e. it Genome. And as far as research has learned thus far, C-19 attaches itself to a healthy cel in the Human body, then INJECTS its Genome (RNA) in to the nucleus of that cell so it can both reproduce itself AND co-opt the RNA/DNA from the HOST cell as well. That, imo, is why, and an excellent reason as well, they are using RNA as base AND an attractive decoy to lure in the C-19 virus and destroy it.

Have EVER heard the phrase " RIGOROUS TESTING?" That is NOT a phrase used lightly in ANY Lab, etc, it IS a required Protocol that IS STRICTLY enforced by LAWS. No offence intended here btw, BUT I think I'm beginning to see POSSIBLE early signs of Munchausen Syndrome AND Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy emerging in some of comments and postings re-C-19 vaccinations.

Suit yourself, Aaron. Over 30,000 volunteers tested with one person having side effects. Since then, a couple million people vaccinated and nobody got really ill. So, I'll take my chances with the vaccine--rather than wait to see how I would do with the actual virus.

Triphid replies on Jan 28, 2021:

@azzow2, @mischl Yes, but unfortunately these sceptics/hyper-sceptics are ALMOST as dangerous as the diseases themselves. And, imo educated opinion as Psychologist, etc, etc, I tend to think that many may also be exhibiting signs of Munchausen Syndrome, aka, Hypochondria.

@TimeOutForMe Oh yes some people, including Tourists and quite a few 'know-it-all' Aussies, are real pests and a danger to themselves. About 5 or so years ago I took my next door neighbour, the Evangeloon btw, out into the bush to get some firewood. HE decided he wanted to check out an Emu's nest DESPITE my telling to stay well away from it btw, which is little more than roughly circular shallow dish shape made in to the soft ground btw, about 10 minutes later he came racing, full pelt, back with Big Daddy Emu hot on his trail and with 2 Emu eggs he stolen from the nest while the Emu was stretching his legs. IF the Emu had gotten hold f him it WOULD have ripped his abdomen open using the long sharp claws on it feet as scythes, something I've seen first hand a few times when a 'roo gets too close to a nesting Emu.

@LucyLoohoo Miss Spiky was a puggle in the pouch of her mother when her mother first arrived here but I had no idea she was even in there. Her mother set up 'house' where Miss Spiky now resides but only after some arse-hole neighbour decided to dob me in for keeping her, the mother, in my yard. They took Mum away but left Miss Spiky behind so now I have my Authorised License as a Native Animal Sanctuary that nasty neighbour can go suck eggs and Miss Spiky and all the other animals can live safe and happy for as long as they like.

I remember a great teacher I had (Mr Roberts) who once gave us a whole hour-long lesson about the ancient geography/geology of Britain. It included how the English channel was not there and how the Thames used to run into France. Then at the end, he told us it was all bs and he had made it all up. ...

Triphid replies on Jan 28, 2021:

Well, actually he was correct in a few things. The British Isles were once connected to Europe, the English Channel was once dry land and that has proven by Geological research but itv was long before the time of Human kind though.

@OldMetalHead Just give him a years supply of Dupalax in one single dose and let him shit himself to death, far cheaper, easier to administer, untraceable, 100% legal. It was prescribed for my daughter, Lorrae, when she undergoing Chemotherapy in 2000 and we had a 'spare bottle of it at home after she passed away. Some rather nasty people kept raiding my Navel Orange trees so I decided to teach them a 'little' lesson about asking first rather than merely stealing. I 'doctored all the ripe oranges on the accessible side of one tree with 20 mls of Dupalax using a syringe and needle. For some strange reason they never touched my orange trees after that....LOL Btw, it IS available in either 500ml, 1 litre or 2 litre bottles, for a quick result I'd recommend using the 2 litre size though.
