Triphid comments on Dec 21, 2018:

Well, here where I live, we have an ages old tradition of sorts where you can say Hello/G'day to a complete stranger and usually get a reply like, " How are you mate," or " G'day, bloody hot/cold ( depending on the season) weather we've been having but I'm going okay, how about you," etc. etc, BUT sadly that 'tradition' seems only to have survived around here, in the cities they seem about as friendly as a Pox Doctors Clerk at a Prostitutes Convention.

A farmer named Clyde had a tractor accident.

Triphid comments on Dec 21, 2018:

That's kind of like what happened when, in my young and silly, daring days, I took on a job hauling loads of Nitro-glyerine by truck 200+kms north of here. One trip the chiller on the truck broke down, the temperature in the chiller began to rise quickly and all I could do was head across the bush, jump clear and run for cover before the load exploded. A car traveling some distance behind me saw and heard the bang as the load went up, the driver came over to find me hiding from the blast in a dry creek bed, covered in dirt, dust and debris, got me back to his car and drove me back to the Depot Shed where the boss was waiting. The first thing the boss asked me was, " How's my bloody truck?" To which I replied, " Well there's good news and bad, the truck's totally fucked, BUT the good news is the spare wheel is quick okay, and thanks for asking if I'm alright, now you shove your job, I quit."

Triphid comments on Dec 20, 2018:

Greetings and Welcome to you from me. I'm an Atheist, have been so since about 8 years of age, have a ThD after studying Theology and Comparative Modern Religions purely to attempt to know and understand as much as possible ( if not, in many cases more than my debating opponents do) for debates about religion. To my mind, religion makes about as much sense as standing on one foot whilst trying to find your way through a cyclone hoping not to get blown away by the winds.

I wonder who came up with this idea

Well it worked for my Daughter when she was 9 years old, I heard her wishing on a star one evening when I had her for the weekend. She ardently wished that she could always live with her Dad. 2 days later I filed for Sole Custody, won the Court Battle and we were together right up until she passed away from Cancer aged 16. Even through that horrendous battle with Cancer they were the best years of my life without a doubt.

I stopped doing anything for Xmas after my 16 year old Daughter passed from Cancer in Jan. 2001 until my nephew, Henry, was born 5 years ago. Now I only celebrate Xmas for his benefit, otherwise it's just another day of the year.

I'm not sure if anyone here has had to deal with package ninjas before.

Triphid comments on Dec 18, 2018:

I had one of those Scumbags around my neighborhood a few years ago, my action was to 'recycle' a package I'd already opened, fill it some very fresh, smelly dog turds in a plastic bag placed on a tightly compressed spring, seal the package up again, mark it as fragile and valuable, leave it on the verandah and sit back and watch. I reckon it would have given her a very 'nice' surprise when she opened it.

Triphid comments on Dec 18, 2018:

As an Atheist ( and still am an Atheist) studying Theology and Comparative modern Religions I often posed many similar questions and simply got the same answers as; " It is NOT for you to question, it IS simply for you to believe and thus make those who follow your teachings to believe as well." That, basically, is the Credo of Seminaries of Xtianity.

This will always be so disturbing to me because they mean it so literally and believe it so hard.

Triphid comments on Dec 18, 2018:

It is so sad that some people actually believe in that utter bullshit that feel they MUST force it on to everyone else.

I've been a minister of religion but have several nagging doubts.

Triphid comments on Dec 18, 2018:

Whether or not it is ' claimed' as being a holy BOOK, it is just a book ( actually a collection of ancient archaic mythologies plagiarized from dozens of much older cultures and then twisted to suit the needs of the religion it serves,) other than that it is absolutely NOTHING and almost as completely meaningless. After 7 years of study I have a ThD in Theology ( Theosophy as I like to call it) and Comparative Modern Religions and still remain an Atheist.

Actually there was a rule in the Roman Legions that Legionaries could ejaculate on their female rape victims BUT they could not penetrate them, i.e. they MUST NOT venture past the Forchette, the junction of the labia at the top of the vulva. Not a very good idea since sperm can and will dribble down and into the vaginal orifice, which may mean that the Great Jeebus was probably fathered by a Roman Legionary getting his rocks off and not Sky Daddy after all.

Lol... I think of my son when I see this.

Triphid comments on Dec 17, 2018:

Well that one strap is certainly NOT going to hold that on for long. Shit, I must be of a very rare breed, I use multiple ropes/straps when tying down loads of firewood in a trailer, enough to hold down a herd of elephants even.

Triphid comments on Dec 17, 2018:

Recently whilst going for a walk I noticed the local Council Workers were cutting down a long dead tree on the footpath, the tree was about 30 feet tall with a trunk about 18 inches in diameter. Just to see what their reaction would be I asked them if they'd mind dropping the wood off into my driveway as I use a wood burning heater in winter to keep warm. They asked for my address with a smile and I continued on with my walk. I arrived home just as their tipper truck pulled up at my gate and got quite a nice surprise when they asked where I'd like it unloaded. So now I have about 5 tons of very dry dead firewood nicely cut up ready for next winter and the workers went away with enough spare money from me for them to buy themselves a carton of beer each. They also asked me that IF they had any more trees to remove in my area would I like the firewood, I happily agreed and thanked them.

Plus, government is supposed to be there to attend to and care for the people it is ELECTED to serve, i.e. the ENTIRE populace and such attention/caring MUST include more than adequate National Healthcare available to ALL.
