@Lilac-JadeCanada WHAT, only $20 a month when in 2018 he sent $999.99 to a company that advertised " Build your own Swimming Pool Kits" and got a package from them that contained a shovel, a pick-axe, a crowbar, 30 metres of clear plastic and was so proud of his purchase? Surely caring for Pink Unicorns must be far more expensive, I could possibly get him up around the $100-150 mark with a little gentle persuasion.

@jlynn37 Well No IF you read the ORIGINAL and Unaltered version of the Goat-herders Guide to the Galaxy. Because in Genesis Chp. 1 it states clearly that Sky Daddy told the mythical Adam and Eve to " Go forth and multiply, fill the lands with their off-spring shall be multitudinous and shall worship and praise Him always." Then, later in Chp.1 Sky Daddy warns Eve that "SHOULD she find or derive physical pleasures from the act of procreation then shall she suffer the pains of birth, the bleedings from her womb regularly and be rejected by all during those bleedings for she shall be considered as being foul and unclean." In essence, it means, simply, that a woman, according to the bible, is NOTHING more than an walking Incubator for babies.

Many, many 'moons' ago I was bitten on the same things by an Aussie Red-backed Spider, it caused me great and intense pain for well over 2 weeks plus time in hospital for the entire 2 weeks as well. So many times I asked the Doctors to "take away the pain and bruising BUT leave the swelling because the 'improvement would have made even the best of male porn-stars extremely envious"....LOL. But what this mongrel-gutted arse-hole has/had to endure I reckon is at least 1,000 times worse and WELL DESERVED as well. Necrosis is a medical term meaning simply the DEATH and decaying of tissues, it can and does, often, lead to both Sepsis, aka Blood Poisoning, and/or Gangrene which can very rapidly spread throughout the whole body often resulting in multiple amputations, etc, etc, and possible DEATH in extreme pain and agony if NOT attended to quickly and correctly.

Cyklone comments on Jan 8, 2021:

It's interesting to note how much religious dogma is about control of women's bodies. When you can have sex, how, what you can wear, how desireable you can look, if, when you can deliberately terminate even though your body will do it spontaneously at times.

Triphid replies on Jan 8, 2021:

I often have to 'stifle' a laugh when these imbecilic Religotards rave on how OUR bodies are so perfectly designed by Sky Daddy yet are ever so prone to screw ups big or small. For example, Within a few weeks of conception the woman's system starts to release, what are colloquially called, Nurturing and Mothering Hormones into her body, then comes another hormone that causes 'Morning Sickness' to occur in approx. 60-75% of all pregnancies. This hormone actually, at times, interferes with both nutrition of the woman and the growing foetus in her womb, a big time screw up if you ask me. Then, at some time or other, the body decides that 'things don't seem just right/perfect with this growing foetus even though the woman is now, in about 90=% of cases, totally rapt with the concept of being pregnant BUT the well designed, supposedly Sky Daddy perfected body simply say and KNOWS otherwise and REJECTS the foetus completely and a Miscarriage occurs with the poor woman going through an emotional hell as a result. And, even later during any pregnancy even more can, and sadly, does go arse-up with even greter devastating results to the woman, her partner, etc, etc. What a truly Great Designer this Sky Daddy is, I'm ever so frigging glad he/she/it never considered getting into designing aircraft, ships, car, etc, etc.

Triphid replies on Jan 6, 2021:

@powder Okay, so I hit the wrong button, big deal. What workers work in Africa, etc, IS NOT what most miners here in Australia work, ESPECIALLY here where I live. Plus, surveys etc, done here have clearly shown the Physical and Mental effects of these long working hours and shifts are very detrimental to both workers, their efficiency, their overall health, their families and even the expected life-spans of the workers themselves as well. You COULD run a Quarantine Facility as many hours and shifts as you like BUT how and where are you going to get, a) the Finances to do so, b) the people willing to do so, and, c) most important of ALL btw, the money to compensate those workers for the times lost with families, etc, etc, etc. I DO humbly suggest that you and others try WAKING up to Reality, etc, etc, for a change.

@powder 1 crew working and 2 crews on breaks at any one time? Where precisely does that happen these days? Miners here working for Perilya work 10 days straight, 12 hour shifts per day and get 4 days off AFTER doing 10 straight shifts plus we have FiFo's here btw. And YES, NORMAL Surgical type masks ARE for the containment of viruses, etc, FROM the Health Workers. Such Surgical types masks DO stop the viruses, etc, from being spread to the patient/s. P.P.E's are a different kettle of fish altogether ( see the the Full Face VISOR P.P.E's as worn by Medical Staff these days. Er, excuse me but my maths may be a bit rusty at times but a 2:4 ratio is not, according my knowledge, NOT 1 Crew on and 2 crews OFF, should that not BE then a ratio of 1:3 instead? Viruses CAN and DO travel quite well in airborne droplets, so here, I'm guessing ( with logic, reasoning and knowledge gained from medical training AND experiences btw) that mayhap your medical knowledge is a wee bit on the 'light' side? Oh, and neither do I merely wrap myself in cotton wool btw.

That Garden was built by own hands, designed by me, measured out in precise Royal Egyptian cubits and represents the Egyptian Ankh, the symbol of Life. The statue of the Rearing Horse with both forelegs raised represents that she died in battle as do ALL statues of Rearing Horses on monuments to fallen Warriors everywhere. A statue of a Horse with 1 foreleg raised says the person died of wounds AFTER the battle, All four legs planted firmly on the ground says that person died long after the battle happened. IMO, she fought like a Warrior, died whilst still fighting and deserves such a monument.

Triphid replies on Jan 6, 2021:

@powder So, in essence you are suggesting that personnel in Quarantine Facilities as well as other employees elsewhere should work 2 days on and 4 days off, is that correct? So, it that be so, WHERE, When and How do YOU EXPECT these persons to go, spend the leisure times, and amuse themselves WHILST still being Quarantined? Just how MANY Employers do YOU expect to happily and willingly take up that concept since, IT would required said Employers to engage at LEAST double the numbers of Staff and ancillary service Staff as well? Use a bit of Fiscal Logic there please. IF C-19 is NOT airborne then WHY are we wearing masks to prevent droplets and vapours from carrying the virus from from person to another? Can you, as Safety Officer of renown answer that question? Viruses NOT only travel around as airborne particles will carry them btw, but ALSO can survive for hours, even days on surfaces as well FYI. And YES, ALL of life is a risk, from the very moment of Conception right through the very moment of Death but that is the RISK we all take is it not? Would YOU lock yourself inside your home rather than take the risk of stepping outside JUST because you THINK you may fall over and break your neck, or risk crossing a road or street BECAUSE you MAY be hit by a passing motor vehicle? Why even bother getting out of bed, taking your next breath, you never know for 100% certainty that that very next breath you may cause you choke and die do you? BUT you have still taken that breath and the next and the next and so on and so forth have you not? Oh, imo, your LAST paragraph is, imo, as inane and completely ridiculous as it reads.

Dad referred to the small size of his paws and said, " Look his feet are small, he won't grow very big." About a year later, that 'little pup' grew into being one very big adult German Shepherd who became my friend, companion and 'protector' against my 2 very nasty elder sisters.

As to it being "a political decision not based in science" exactly who and where do these advises come from? As to YOU departing Australia to travel elsewhere O/S then, a) you MAY leave here C-19 fre, but you may also RETURN here either with C-19 and being symptomatic OR as an A-symptomatic Carrier. You may ALSO become infected whilst O/S requiring hospitalization and treatments thus not ONLY placing yourself at risk but others as well.

@powder A) For such measures as in Step#6, it unfortunately REQUIRES the Co-operation of ALL Governments and the Populace as well, Sadly, we have seen these requirements either lacking or totally ignored, imo, from both sides as in Victoria with its outbreak not so long ago, and, with those, imo, totally selfish, self-centred IDIOTS who scream and moan about having their personal freedoms/liberties curtailed. That, imo, ALSO includes those who moan about having/wanting to travel O/S to check on/sell their property/properties in other countries, etc, etc. These Protocols are NOT designed solely for the protection of the Afflicted and Medical Staff, etc, etc, they ARE designed for the Protection of the Community/Communities at large BUT there are those who either CAN NOT encompass nor wish to encompass such things, imo, they SEE only themselves as being of Prime Importance and are, imo, quite happy to place everyone else at risk, INCLUDING themselves, just to satisfy their own delusions of self -Grandeur/Importance. As to 'Isolating towns/communities,' well we here in Broken Hill did a quite great job with ONLY 2 reported cases in the last 12 months, both of which were only minor cases btw, and still none at all even though the Borders were, imo, Opened way too prematurely. In such Epidemics/Pandemics as this and the Black Plagues earlier in history, society can function, but not as was normal, read up on the methods used with the Spanish Flu post WWI and the Black Plague in Europe please.

@powder All infections/epidemics/pandemics begin at the "micro-level' FYI since they ARE microscopic. Also, Medical Experts ARE trained, etc, for ALL situations no matter what they are just as are nurses, Ambos, Paramedics, etc, etc. Prior to this idiotic mania for Nurses to be taught in Universities BEFORE they can work with Human patients, nurses in the 70's and earlier had the 6 weeks in a Training School attached to the Hospital, then REST of the year in the Wards, etc, getting ACTUALLY hands on experience/s, then another 6 weeks in the Training school and so it was repeated for 3 whole years until you got your 3rd. and final stripe, then and only then did they become classed as Nursing Sisters qualified in General Nursing Duties. After that the choices were yours as to whether or not you wanted to qualify/specialize in other fields such as Psychiatric, Paediatric, O.R., O.B.U., Mid-Wiferey, etc, etc. Even the basic General Practitioner Doctor does his/her times as an Intern in Hospital/s AFTER studying for years in Universities, then and ONLY then can they too decide to choose IF they want to specialize or not. And that also takes many years and countless hours of Experiences. It does NOT happen 'over night' FYI. Now let us discuss the basic Protcols for Disease Outbreaks and Treatments shall we? Protocol #1, WHEN an Infectious disease is diagnosed/discovered, be it viral/bacterial or what ever, Step #1, locate where possible the SOURCE, i.e. Patient Zero, Step #2, Isolate and Quarantine Patient Zero if found PLUS any and ALL subsequent cases as soon as possible, Step #3, set up, immediately ALL Aseptic and NON-Transference Measures including Specialized Nursing and Caring Procedures, Initiate and activate ALL Infectious Disease Protocols IMMEDIATELY, set up De-contamination facilities for ALL Medical Staff, ALL waste Medical or Human MUST be marked as being Bio-Hazardous Wastes, contained in Sealed and Specified containers, then transported and Incinerated, this includes Scrubs, Wound Dressings where applicable, etc, etc, Step #4, ONLY Designated Staff may enter the Isolation/Quarantine Areas, STAFF MUST use A-septic techniques at ALL times when in and LEAVING such zones/areas, Step #5, IF disease outbreak extends BEYOND the immediate Hospital/Community area, then initiate IMMEDIATE LY Protocols from Step #2 and through to ALL other Steps, Step #6, Should Outbreak extend beyond IMMEDIATE area into the the General Population of a City/Town/State or Nation, ISOLATE and Quarantine the ENTIRE City/Town, etc, etc, as IMMEDIATELY as is Humanly possible, Step#7, UNTIL there ARE NO further cases of Infection Protocols #2 through #6 MUST remain in place UNTIL a remedy/cure/ approved Vaccination, etc, IS found, approved and instigated.

In my honest opinion, the Religous would NOT know virtue/s even if it got up and bit them on their arse.

Triphid replies on Jan 2, 2021:

@Canndue My very wide experiences, decades of them btw, have shown me that the Religious, seemingly, only to 'exhibit' such so-called virtues as and when it so suits them and their needs ,etc, etc, IF they can actually find/understand what they are at all that is.

@Lilac-JadeCanada My guess is that, like his toothbrush, it too will end up registering for Unemployment Benefits.

@Lilac-JadeCanada It is summer here and his B.O. could make a rotting corpse sit up and pinch its nose, trust me, it IS bad. BUT, I did put a wee Xmas pressie in his mailbox this year. A neatly wrapped bar of Palmolive Gold soap and a typed note saying " Don't wait to be told, you need Palmolive Gold." Most Aussies from around my era will remember the Television Ad.

You sound bitter. Why not just ignore them and get on with your life?

Triphid replies on Jan 1, 2021:

"Bitter, " about what, I'm being nice to the Faithfools and Trolls this year, even IF it does kill them. So, where's the problem?

Of Evangeloon's 'tomatoes', I can give you a 200 litre barrel of Agent Orange if you like. ;)

Triphid replies on Jan 1, 2021:

His whacky Backy/Green tobacco, etc, that he uses AND sells to the teenagers around town as well. He grows them in between Tomato Bushes along a 'secluded(???) section of the dividing fence probably thinking that no-one can tell the difference. I use a solution that we used on the Railways to keep weeds, etc, under control, 1 cup of the powder to 5 litres of water and within 3-5 days the weeds are dead but normal garden plants, trees, etc, are 100% safe and thriving.

Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus ever use facts, logic or rational argument to convince prospective ...
