@RoyMillar Your telling me it was. I trained her the same way Dad did with me. Caps off of drink bottles, set out on posts or trees at spacings of spacings of 20 yards between each one, over a total distance of approx. 180 yards, open sights ( no scope) and you had to hit each one as close to dead centre as possible each time from the Standing, Sitting and Prone positions, 1 bullet per bottle cap per position. It wasn't a simple thing to do by any means but my intent was to ensure that she could survive by hunting for food if she became stranded in the Aussie Outback.

Triphid replies on Jun 5, 2020:

@Athena As I stated there are NO historians/historical accounts that this Jesus character depicted in the bible ever existed in either Judaea, Gallilee or the entire Middle Eastern Region. The only referncee/s that come close to a mention is those from the records of the Roman Governor of the Judaeo- Gallilee region from approx. the year 4 B.C.E. until the year 12 C.E, one Gnaius Pontus Claudius, commonly called the Builder of Bridges, and NOT to confused with the biblical bullshit name of Pontius Pilate btw. Governor Pontus' records show that he ordered the Execution by Crucifixion of a Yeyoshua ben Yusef from the Gallilee region and 2 of his Followers for the crimes of Sedition, Arson, Extortion, Rape, Pillaging, Murder, Theft and attacks upon a Roman Outpost on the eve of the Hebrew passover Festival and at the behest of Emperor Tiberius and the Sanheddrin. The remainder of his Criminal Gang, so to speak, where sent to Tyrus to be Galley Slaves and work on the Roman Galleys until Death. Ergo, If you are still under the impression that I believe this biblical Jesus ever existed then, sadly, you are barking up the wrong tree altogether I'm afraid.

I'd be okay, be it a private light aircraft of a passenger aircraft I'm still a qualified pilot. Anyway, most passenger aircraft are flown mainly using the autopilot system once they reach cruise altitude and ILS systems can guide the aircraft in to the runways, all it would need is for the ATC to instruct a passenger or 2 on lowering the flaps, the undercarriage and reducing the speed for landing, the activating the Thrust Reversers and finally shutting down the engines. Most ATC's are well versed in those proceedures btw.

Triphid replies on Jun 4, 2020:

@Athena I agree 100% with Mofo1953, because, simply, there WAS no records/writings referring to a Jesus/Yeshua/Yeyoshua, etc, etc, as being either a Messiah nor a 'Christ' UNTIL after the Council of Nicaea convened by Emperor Constantine in 325 C.E. aka A.D. Quintus Severus Lucidius was the personal Scribe to Constantine at that time, his records were once kept in the archives of Constantinople until the they were removed by the Holy Roman Empire in the year 331 C.E. to Rome and then sealed in the vaults of what now is the Vatican. Quintus Severus recorded that, " The Holy Book of the Messianic Religion ( later to become the Christian Religion) was to be created from myths and legends with the only EXCEPTIONS being the Pentateuch of the 'Old Testament' which would be copied and altered to suit the new religion, upon this matter an agreement was unanimously reached by ALL the self-appointed Bishops of the Messianic Religion as was the name of Christianity also." Ergo, @Mofo1953 is not being "very Grumpy," but actually stating facts and truths.

That would eventually mean that they could outlaw Atheism/Agnosticism completely, persecute us LEGALLY and Legitimately just as was done for centuries before, Non-whites and women would again be subservient to men, etc, etc. Any freedoms we had from religion/religious impositions would be gone completely and utterly, laws could then be enacted to FORCE people to attend churches, etc, as well. Imo, this would be a far worse scenario/situation that the Spanish Inquisitions ever were given the great numbers of 'radical' Evangelical, etc, cults/belief systems that sitting in the 'wings' just biding their times for such a thing to happen.

Triphid replies on Jun 2, 2020:

@HerbertNewsam That is your take on the matter but I'm sure you can also see that others, including myself as well, do not have the same take on it as do you. We, well a larger number of us imo that is, make decisions for ourselves using the reasoning and logic, etc, that is inherent in our cerebral matter almost every single moment of our lives. Though some elements of our daily existences are governed solely by the Autonomic Nervous System over which, btw, we have no control, our conscious minds/brains are working, well for most of us anyway, continuously during our waking hours whether realize it or not. For example, a person can use the 'free will,' so to speak, of their own mind to decide what to wear on any particular day/ocassion, a man can decide, also by means of his own 'free will' whether or not he shall shave on a Monday/Tuesday or whatever or simply forsake shaving and grow a beard. One can also make the choice/decision using that same freedom of will to either become religious or not, is that not so? IF you are acquainting actual Free Will with the religious concept as per the 'gift' by God so stated in the bible then, imo, you may be confusing the definitions completely.

So I'm wondering what feeble excuse/s his Shyster Lawyer will come up with to attempt to explain away his patently obvious hatred of an Afro-American that drove him to MURDER a Human Being over a counterfeit $20 bill? Will it be something like, " Well, Your Honour, when my Client was a young child he wanted to buy a pack of gum, a flavour that he loved and enjoyed so much, but an Afro-American child bought the last remaining pack on the shelf at the store near where he lived," or will it be, "Your Honour, my Client was playing Basketball in the School Playground and an Afro-American child beat him at Basketball regularly." Maybe even the Shyster will come up with something from the bible, i.e. a passage saying that " those of non-white skins are lesser beings than those with white skins and should only ever be considered as little more than Slaves to be punished as their white Masters see fit." In my honest opinion, the Blinded Lady of Justice may be Fair and True but there are ever so many of those who act/serve on her behalf are so corrupt and rotten that they could make a Charnel House smell like the most expensive perfume known to mankind.

Well, it looks like Queen "Wrinkly" Elizabeth isn't going to be very happy for a while.

Triphid replies on May 30, 2020:

@KKGator However, imo, there are some instances where forgiveness can be given, e.g. when someone makes, unconsciously, an error, etc, and unintentionally says or does something to upset another/others. BUT that forgiveness MUST come only AFTER the apology is rendered.

Triphid replies on May 30, 2020:

@SeaGreenEyez 100% perent in agreement with you here. My 'mother' abused me in almost every known way short of actually killing me, when she was 76 she literally begged my forgiveness repeatedly but my memories and nightmares of the horrors I lived through were far more stronger and powerful than my inner forgiving person, thus I denied her forgiveness every single time and I have no regrets in doing so and never will have regrets either. My philosophy is, " Do the crime, do the time and do NOT expect forgiveness under any circumstances."

OldMetalHead comments on May 30, 2020:

The time for forgiveness is after justice is served and contrition is shown.

Triphid replies on May 30, 2020:

To my mind there is NO forgiveness due for acts such as Murder, Rape, Assault causing Grevious Bodily Harm/Death. No kind/type of 'forgiveness' can ever bring back the victim/sof Murders neither can it undo the harm and damage resultant from Rape, etc. For far too long has the ways of Justice leant over backwards to 'protect' the rights, etc, of the Offender/s' at the expense of the Victims, etc, ALL of this desperately needs to be adressed and changed for the better in my opinion.

My reference to 'Wrinkly' was NOT aimed at her age but at the 'Wrinkles' (lurks and perks, etc) that come with being 'Royalty' as per the ages old claim of being 'appointed and annointed by God to hold such an office.' You can't seriously think/believe that EVERY time a member of the British 'Royal' Family goes visiting another country that THEY pay for everything from THEIR own pockets do you? The actual TRUTH is that they INVITE themselves, THEN expect the peoples of the country to cover ALL expenses, demands, etc, from the Public Purse of that country. Why do you think Harry and Co. decided to live in Canada, a Commonwealth (previously known as a Subject Country of the British Empire btw) Country instead of the U.S.A. for example?

@FrayedBear No matter WHAT additives the vaccines contain, FrayedBear, it IS the amount of the attenuated virus that counts. The additives are only there to keep the vaccines from going stale, etc. BTW, many virus infections can result in deaths from heart, pulmonary, kidney, liver, etc, failures. Ceasation of Cancer treatments due to Covid-19 would, imho, be ridiculous to say the very least since Cancer Treatments are done with the utmost of care and continued on with UNLESS the patient has a secondary infect, dangerous, life-threatening reaction to one of the Oncology drugs or dies. Please, FrayedBear, do NOT try to tell ME about Cancer Treatments I have very personal experience with Cancer treatments, my 16 year old daughter and I went through 9 months of them when she had Mature B Cell Lymphoma, diagnosed in 2000 by a well known and respected Oncologist, Micheal Rice, at the Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide. Absolutely NO Doctor would recommend ceasing such treatments what-so-ever just because of the Covid virus.

One particular time I'll never forget is when were hunting kangaroo for the Property Owner to use as food for his working dogs. This huge male Red Kangaroo was standing up under a tree some distance away and she yeelled to me to stop the car. I looked and just said, " You'll never hit it at that distance, Lorrae, it's got to be at least 200 yards away." She just gave me this 'knowing' smile of hers, climbed quietly out of the car, lay down on the ground, tossed a bit of dirt into the air, took aim and fired, the 'roo seemed to ignore everything and then just tumbled over. We then drove over using the trip meter as a measurer, .175 of kilometre later there was the 'roo, shot cleanly through the head and as dead as Julius Caesar. When a 10 year old looks at you and simply says, " Never say never," it kind of humble one.

I have to say one more thing.. You know Fred this is like joining an Apple Pie group and posting an article on why Apple Pie sucks... Ha ha ;)
