Calli. I thought of issuing a warning to lower your expectations about Casablanca. I think you will find Rabat and…
There are twitter reports they survived, but just comments and nothing definite. Yeah. We’re heading to Portugal at the end…
JC: from the NYT: Helicopter Carrying Iran’s President Has Crashed, State Media ReportsRescuers are trying to locate the helicopter on…
Apparently, Iranian military searching for helicopter carrying president and foreign minister after experiencing a “hard landing”. We can only hope…
I seem to be one of those characters who has to learn everything the hard way.
This isn’t such a bad thing.
You sure do remember those lessons.
It’s like doing a night navigation. I’d be the bloke who’s foot found every bloody rabbit hole while others just walked through.
I’d struggle to think of a major life disaster I haven’t blundered into. Car crashes, picking the wrong mates, getting into fist fights, bad investments, wrong chicks.
One thing I’ve learnt is there is nothing to gain from angry and abusive online back and forth.
I’m not playing that game. I won’t do it. ANyonevwho wants to do it with me can play solo, I’m not participating in it. It’s stupid, and only the stupid do it.
If Dover is happy to give me a small corner of my own to play in, and a handful of thoughtful people show up, we’ll, that’s enough for me.
Rex,
There’s a lot to stoush about. Farming and mining are “nofink” while sitting at a bench pulling a lever every couple of seconds is tops as far as work and it’s even better if the firm you’re working for (perhaps 70% of Chinese companies) barely breakeven.
Bu farming and mining are nofink.
Haven’t even tried that yet. Apparently I have to apply for an exemption of some sort to enter my own state. McClown really is a turd.
[In my best, carefully modulated, tone-neutral, smoother-than-the-Lindt-Chocolate-ads Shipping Report voice that makes the luuuuverly laaaaadies all terribly confused…]
There’s damage control, and there’s people making bad decisions – not necessarily related.
Most modern navies these days train in “NBCD”, which means taking action against nuclear, biological, chemical, and damage threats. In WWII the damage section was mainly fire and flood. So your average sailor learns to fight fires in confined spaces, or for that matter anywhere in the ship. In flood control you want to stop a compartment filling up with seawater, so you use shoring, and plugs, and dams and so on.
From what I’ve read the Japanese were pretty good in these areas, and given their enthusiasm for getting things right I expect they were enthusiastic about it.
Kevni and Swanny grew up in the posh part of Nambour.
Strictly speaking, if you take away the incineration risk, dangerous goods, mental fatigue factors and the possibility of losing just about every conceivable appendage to crush or guillotine injury due to a moment’s inattention, that’s exactly what I do to earn a crust.
But I do get to wave to people. And they wave back. 🙂

The sole failing being, there just apparently weren’t enough of them…
You almost broke the other blog, you delusional fuckwit and now you’re wearing a white robe? Don’t make us laugh. Anyone who is as delusional and a debbie downer like you, who pretends to claim ownership of someone’s property, is a laughable clown. Your comments about economics on the open forum will NEVER go unanswered, because you’re a clown. That’s not negotiable and NEVER will be. Now fuck off back to your own thread. Post a comment about economics that causes dry retching and there will be a response. You ridiculous clownshow.
That is more or less how you speak to other people on those depressive Debbie Downer threads of yours. Don’t like like. Suck dick.
Now , just to get back to basics.. Mining and farming, but mining more so is the most highly capital intensive industrial sector going. Capital to labor ratio is extremely high which is why firms can afford to pay high wages in that sector.
I’d dare say most countries in the world have one of two sectors they excel in. Farming and mining are our two and they’re at the top in terms of efficiency.
It’s not Nofink!
We’re good despite the headwinds created by the organized labor.
Yeah Rex, I reckon in the end the IJN was just overwhelmed.
In many ways of course.
They made a few bad decisions now and again, but then again wasn’t it Napoleon who said “give me lucky generals” – he meant ones who made their own luck.
I remain puzzled by their attitude towards submarine warfare in that they very often attacked warships. Given many types are specifically designed to sink you, and their people trained to do so, then why do that?
Regret:
Look how “Lana Rhodes” started life as an aspiring model/actress (could have been yuuuge) under her real name of Amara Maple and ended up “getting injured” so badly she can’t do anal anymore.
That all happened in about 10 years.
My advice for young aspiring wahmen:
Think of Holly Valance or Kristy Hinze, who married very wealthy men.

Had a blog closed down because he went complete nutball with Egg. That was you , right? In 15 years that old blog had never been closed down even as a consequence of bird attacks. Some achievement.
Of course, all online abuse is ugly, but one might be tempted to forgive it if it has some wit, a turn of phrase or demonstrates a unique facility with the English language.
Otherwise: meh.
JC, you been chipped?
Yea. we recall the egg stoush. A real interesting blast wit and the clever use of the english language was superb.
Also, comments of yours relating to economics. Truly, thought-leader stuff.
Frankly, you’re very lucky Dover is easy going. If you had ever claimed ownership of my blog or treated commenters the way you have, you would be metaphorically six feet under by now.
Yea once. Actually it was on Driller’s blog. He posted a comment I thought was racist about Indians at the old cat and I then copied and pasted it at his unread blog. He removed the comment and put his blog on moderation after that.
Otherwise, I’ve be never been banned, never had a comment removed anywhere. I’m a good guy.
for the vaxed only:
after you go to Myers and vax-in
and you’ve done your Chrissy shopping
when you got to leave
be sure to bother the shit outta the door bitch
insist on showing yr pox-port on exit
and when they protest
ask if they’re absolutely sure that you don’t need a pox-port to exit
as a parting shot be sure to tell them that the Germans were much better organised

Can we also ask for evidence of their covid shot? I argued with a door bitch (male) at Good Guys the other day. I showed him my vax info and I then demanded to see his as I wasn’t sure he was vaxed.
optional: let them know they’re a piece of shit
Tell them it’s the law they have to show you proof they’re vaxed if they ask for yours. They get really confused. The fucker at Good Guys showed me his vax dets. True. 🙂
god forbid some pain in the arse asks me for a pox-port after we go to drag their sorry arses outta trouble.
I will be telling them that they are MY customers and that if they want climate control they better get busy collecting everybody’s pox-ports before we enter.

That comment of yours got me thinking . You suggested that it will be very hard to have the gerbilers retreat from their staked position.

Crisp and clear cold, which is a pleasant change from the bastard misting windy cold in Mongyang this morning.
There’s few things more shit than Mongyang weather!
I remember this lad I did my apprenticeship with, Christian bloke, softly spoken, friendly.
One day the parent company had a sale on for staff.
He asked me if I wanted to go with him to look.
We both went, and he bought a DTI and I bought a set of Tele gauges, which are still in my garage (which is another story, which I’m not sure I’m going to share or not at this point).
Anyway. Next day back at the factory, I am on the lathe trying to true something up in the 4 jaw chuck, and I remember my mate has a new DTI. So I ask if I can borrow it to true up this thing.
He says, quite reasonably, “Sorry Arky, it’s brand new and I just want to use it myself while it’s still in a good condition”.
“No worries” says I, perfectly happy with that, and thinking his explanation quite reasonable, and I thought no more about it. I go to the stores and get a old shitty one that’s been crashed many times and do the job.
But then, bugger me, that very afternoon, he rocks up and asked me if he can borrow my telegauges.
I feel really put out. How can I lend them to him? If I do it makes me the biggest walkover in the joint.
I say “I want to lend them to you, but you just refused to lend me your DTI, how can I lend you these straight after”?
Poor bastard burst into tears and never spoke tome again. Sometimes I’d approach him and he’d glare at me, really furious.
The lesson here is that the thing that gets people the most irate is when you point out some flaw, hypocrisy or other matter where they fucking well know they’re in the wrong.
People who are in the right don’t usually act like that.
I have another one.
After the joint was closed down and after my apprenticeship, I went to see my old foreman Doug, who was starting his own company.
He put me onto this night shift job saying “This bloke has about six weeks work for someone, wants me to do it, but I’m too busy to take it on”. And he recommended me for it.
It was making all these conveyors for a factory which made and packed bog rolls.
The manager was a bit crazy. As were almost everyone he’d hired there, and I realised why Doug had hand balled it off.
This manager would ask me into the office every few days, go into a long whiteboard presentation of his plans for these conveyors, which were to ensure that if one machine broke down all the little bog rolls could continue to around and around without holding up the other machines.
Eventually he had half the factory taken up with great big loops of these conveyors I was to make.
The pommy guy he had trying to machine the plastic tracks for the conveyor rollers had been at it for weeks with little progress. Until I and the bloke I was to work there with, Matt, pointed out he was running the mill bit backwards.
After a few weeks the manager put me on full time.
Every few days more meetings, whiteboard diagrams of bog rolls winding their way about miles of conveyors, and long explanations of his plans to improve efficiency.
Then, after many weeks, he called me into his office. No explanations, no whiteboard, no long discussions of conveyors.
Nope. He was furious. His face was white with rage. He gave me two weeks notice. He was so mad I didn’t even ask why.
I asked Matt. I asked the foreman. No one knew.
It bugged the hell out of me, because I could not work out what I’d done wrong. Everything I’d made was working fine. The project was almost finished. I hadn’t broken anything, fucked anyone or even put my foot in it like I often do. What the hell?
Then, two days before I was due to finish up there was a new guy in the factory. I asked Matt “Who is that”?
“That’s your replacement, he is the managers nephew”.
Ahhhhhhhh.
Most anger isn’t righteous.
It’s a cover for something.
People who have had really shit things happen to them don’t usually go into rages.
Doctrine. To the very end, the IJN was all about The Decisive Battle.
It had worked for them as a concept since the Battle of Tsushima in 1904, after all.
Aircraft Carriers were originally a subordinate arm to the battlefleet, but quickly moved into the van or even an independent force. But the doctrinal concept was always to seek to bring the enemy’s fleet to a decisive point and break it.
Subs were (like the RN’s original thinking) for flank protection, scouting and opportunistic strikes in support of that main action. The 2 World Wars’ U-bootwaffen and the WW2 US and RN Submarine Services showed that they were (and remain) more effective as an independent weapon and free-ranging escort well in advance of larger task forces.
The battles around the Leyte Gulf and Samar are instances in which the Japanese Decisive Battle concept came to actually work. But what worked in 1900, 1910 and 1920 was utterly obsolescent by 1944, and the Battle of the Surigao Strait was dominated by superior US tactics, technology and training.
Just another example of a fatal flaw ultimately hamstringing an incredibly professional, forward-thinking and audacious service.
Was in Lilydale today … damn near snowing
Threatening people on his stupid threads isn’t depression induced or done out of anger if they disagree with the crap posted. It’s righteous.
Making constant dumb attacks against libertarians and not even realising that the argument you’re using is libertarian isn’t dumb. It’s righteous.
Constantly making comments about economics that a plainly dumb isn’t stupid. It’s righteous.
Nothing wrong here at all.
Lastly , pretending you own someone’s blog and blurting out orders to others suggestive that you have rights to someone’s property when you don’t isn’t delusional dishonesty. That’s righteous.
FMD.
Oh yea, that’s who it is. Armadillo. I apologize to you too in the same vane as the apology given to the Eggster. I should never have doubted your points and why.
The primary mission of the battle line, of the United States Navy, up until the outbreak of war, was to sally forth and fight the decisive battle in the Central Pacific, six months after the outbreak of war. After 1935, the relief of the American garrison of the Philippines was no longer their primary mission – a fact of which the Chief of Staff of the American Army was well aware. The Philippines would be left to their fate. My memory fails me – the Chief of Staff of the American Army at that time? What was his name again? Oh, yes, Douglas MacArthur. How could I have forgotten.

Yet they’re always friendly and they’re ready to to please
I like Chinese

There’s nine hundred million of them in the world today
You’d better learn to like them, that’s what I say
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They come from a long way overseas
But they’re cute, and they’re cuddly, and they’re ready to please
I like Chinese food
The waiters never are rude
Think of the many things they’ve done to impress
There’s Maoism, Taoism, I Ching and chess
I like Chinese
I like Chinese
I like their tiny little trees
Their Zen, their ping-pong, their ying and yang-eze
I like Chinese thought
The wisdom that Confucius taught
If Darwin is anything to shout about
The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt
So, I like Chinese
I like Chinese
They only come up to your knees
Yet they’re wise, and they’re witty, and they’re ready to please

Yes, but someone did the calculations and worked out a 20 ton steel projectile with terminal boosters dropped from a large aircraft ?B52 at about 60,000 feet and accelerated to 90,000 feet would have a very similar yield to the one in orbit at about 10% of the cost.
It was in the US Naval Institute magazine, I think.
Iamarky thanks you Tom.
Went and got my shot.
Sitting in the cubicle waiting the obligatory 15 minutes (seething with anger), I see a youngish lady pass mine and enter the cubicle beside me. Tried not to eaves drop, but the acoustics are terrible in those places.
Nurse:
“You’re here for your second shot?”
Lady:
“Yes, had my first on XX/XX/21”
Nurse:
“How’d it go?”
Lady:
“Had serious heart palpitations and the like. Ended up having to have ECGs, etc, but they’ve cleared me for the second one, so here I am.”
Nurse:
“That’s great. I can’t help but notice you’re pregnant. First trimester I assume?”
Lady:
“Yeah.”
Nurse:
“Congratulations, that’s fantastic. You’re gonna love it. OK, you’ll feel a small prick…”
Honestly, me, of all people, sitting there listening to this shit. I seriously couldn’t make it up. After just listening to a nurse (and doctor) tell me how exceedingly rare heart issues are with this shot.
These people are insane. They advise against soft cheeses, cleaning out litter trays, drinking, smoking, etc, but they’ll inject pregnant women with shit that causes them heart disruptions? If it’s doing something to her heart, what’s it doing to the kid?
We live in a clown world. We’re just missing the red noses and big shoes.
In fact, the kid might even get to experience a booster before he enters this world.

Stress, Mater, its the problem. That’s what the Experts say. Nothing whatever to do with a known heart inflammation producing vaccine, nothing at all.
Doctors: UK Faces Up to 300,000 New Heart Condition Cases – Due to ‘Post-Pandemic Stress Disorder’ (7 Dec)
“Senior doctors in London say Britain faces a time-bomb of up to 300,000 new patients with heart conditions – which they attribute to “post-pandemic stress disorder”.
“I’ve seen a big increase in thrombotic-related vascular conditions in my practice. Far younger patients are being admitted and requiring surgical and medical intervention than prior to the pandemic,” said senior vascular surgeon Tahir Hussain, who works at Northwick Park Hospital, a major National Health Service (NHS) general hospital managed by the London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust.”
How odd. I remember when stress caused ulcers. They sold lots and lots of useless nostrums to not treat it for years and years, and pilloried Marshall for telling the truth.

Lots of older people I know asking why they should get Pfizer as a booster when they were OK with the AZ shot.
They also wonder why they need it at all as their immunity is unknown and unchecked.
Seems that the perfect safety mantra isn’t resonating with the population anymore.
are teachers on strike in NSW?
The virus vector approach can’t be used for boosters because, ironically, you become immune to the virus vector. But you must never risk getting a mild Covid infection and causing immunity to Covid.

Bus drivers have gone on strike too. They also want moah money.
NSW Education and Transport Ministers hit out at unions over widespread industrial action (Skynews, 7 Dec)
Train drivers too, but not over moah money. I suspect the root cause for them is the removal of guards, and in cases like the new metro, drivers too.

So it begs the question, when they mandate jabbing the 5-11 year olds, are we expected to buy them mobile phones, do we laminate their vaccine certificate and hang it around their necks, or do we create a patch to sew on their cute little jumpers?
I would have mentioned tattoos and microchips, but I don’t want to give them ideas.
By believing their actions are good and just. That they are on the side of righteousness. That whatever the blips may be, what they do is for the greater good.
When you find yourself in this headspace, any action can be justified, and no remorse can ever be felt.
This.
When I seriously questioned one of the senior nurses doing this, she told me that she was holding back “Armageddon”.
That is one serious God complex.
Long history of heretics being burned at stake to “save” them. The Bible says nothing of that sort of thing. Passages like Titus 3:10 and Matthew 5:44 are quite clear on general principle. Yet the powers that be absolutely hate being defied and their natural reaction is always “if they won’t do what we tell them they must be forced to do it”. Massive hubris, massive ego, no conception that they may actually be the ones who are wrong.
I made that observation about pregnant women months ago, and I hope with all my heart that no harm comes to those little ones from the vax. I haven’t seen any research about the substances crossing the placental barrier, it’s probably something that researchers won’t touch with a barge pole at present.
There was some information about spontaneous abortion that Lizzie took issue with because she thought the information and extrapolation was flawed. One thing is certain – still births and birth defects can’t be hidden for long. If it is to happen, it will happen soon.
When the realisation hits, it’s like a freight train. You mention the Bible, Bruce, and I think of Pharaoh, King David and Saint Paul. All doing what they imagined was right, or exercising their right.
We’re all like that though, dressing up our flawed thinking with fancy clothes and attitudes. I can justify crackpot stuff as easily as those nurses.
Adding on to my earlier story Calli, the young woman with the baby is pregnant again and according to her husband was told by the doctor that the coming baby possibly wouldn’t need a jab as the Covid vaccine was passed on by Mum.
The medical equivalent of cross your fingers and hope it goes well.
Hold the line Dom.

From what I’ve read the Japanese were pretty good in these areas, and given their enthusiasm for getting things right I expect they were enthusiastic about it.
Yet, compare the four Japanese carriers at Midway with Bunker Hill and Franklin at Okinawa. All six had raging fires, involving armed and fuelled aircraft. Two were saved, and after emergency repairs, sailed home under their own power. The other four were all lost.
It’s quite well known that volunteer firefighters are sometimes the arsonists who set the fire. It’s understood that they do so because they like the adulation and worship they get as the hero who helped save the day.
I sometimes wonder if some nurses don’t suffer a similar affliction. Whilst they don’t cause the issue, the hero worship and adulation doesn’t provide an incentive to assess or report the situation accurately, either.
Some (clearly not all) thrive on being mounted on a white horse and saving the day. The stories (usually with them as the central hero) constantly abound, and not just during Covid either. After years of it, I just roll my eyes. It’s like clockwork.
I see it as unhealthy when health workers should be rational, considered and unerringly honest. The banging of pots and pans for the NHS, the ‘flatten the curve’ to save the ‘essential’ healthcare sector, and the tik-tok videos, didn’t help this mental glitch.
That some of them don’t want the crisis to end, is no real surprise to me.
Words fail.

But they had a massive cultural blindspot which is why at PH they concentrated on the battleships and did not send in any torpedo planes in the second wave to damage dock infrastructure and get the support ships.It’s why fighter pilots let bombers through so that they could tangle with the fighter escorts, it’s why their subs didn’t go for supply ships, it’s why , it’s why damage control wasn’t a priority.
In the video I linked yesterday, Drach makes the point the US were anal about learning lessons from their failures. At Coral Sea a DC officer on the Yorktown saw what happened to Lexington, understood what happened, made a report and recommendation and within weeks equipment to purge fuel lines with inert gases was being installed and before Midway it was doctrine to purge fuel lines.
Prior to WW2 the US, and others, underestimated the skill and inventiveness of the Japanese. I hope we are not doing the same when it comes to China.

Get well soon Mater.
The person who originally posted it seemed to think it was genuine. Of course, that doesn’t make it so. Pretty close to the bone, either way.
I wish this one were fake
Was there a claim in the article that the antibodies endured in babies but not their mothers?
That statistic doesn’t capture miscarriages. That’s where the increase is.
The vax doesn’t work and is poisonous. People are fucking stupid and ignorant.

A dew last night so the crops won’t harvest for hours yet, if it warms up.
Hasn’t the issue long been that the vaccines lose efficacy in 12 months, needing boosters six months later? That would not be an issue if the antibodies remained since the vaccine is only supposed to dupe the body into creating antibodies. So the antibodies in the mother cannot be lasting.
Thanks for letting me know.
This has been entrenched in the system for a long time. Can’t question authority because it may diminishing your own.
Cert worshiping.
I have noticed this with “experts”. When someone considers them self an expert in one area, they seem to be more likely to accept and promote dictates from other experts. It is almost as if they are doing it so as they will be given the same deference when their turn comes. There is probably a good psychology study there.
In any case, rule by expert is proving to be quite over rated.
My understanding is that jab providers are indemnified by scummo et al for when the jab maims or kills somebody.
Does the indemnification extend to death by PPE?
While I’m in whinging mode, check this out.
I didn’t take my Qantas flight home from the UK because I would have been required to self-isolate in a hotel room for two days, so I left early from continental Europe. For some stupid reason, I can’t cancel my UK flight via the internet and have to phone. I have to cancel it by tonight or I lose the credit (fare).
I was told wait times to talk to an operator was 30 min to 1 hour. 1 hour and 20 minutes later, the call got through and then immediately hung up! Now I am at the back of the queue and the wait time has increased to 1 – 2 hours (which probably means 3).
Fucking. Incompetent. Arseholes. Or are they doing it deliberately to rip me off?
Went and got my shot.
BTW, sick as a fucking dog.
Hope you get better quickly!
Airlines seem to be the only business who can take your money, not provide the service and then fail to refund you. How have we let them get away with this? Can you see any other business doing it?
While the Liberals are publicly divided on their religious freedom Bill Labor has made a pre-emptive strile for the Christian vote:
Staunch Catholic KKK “told FamilyVoice that the Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, had sought to reconnect with faith communities through a series of multi-faith roundtables discussing shared values including social services, aged care, care for the environment and reducing economic inequality.”

Individual faiths do not see themselves as just one of many. They consider themselves the true one.

If anyone here is particularly close to God, could you point out KKK and Albo (and KRudd, and whoever else effects a faithful demeanour in politics) and remind God that people (and deities) are know by the company they keep.
Politicians really are scum aren’t they.
9News: ‘Parts of major Queensland cities could be under water within 80 years, modelling shows.’
Griffith University researcher Aysin Dedekorkut-Howes said “There are going to be places that are completely beyond unliveable.”
Clearly we need more funding for this crucial modelling.
Mother Lode,
I had thought of asking them about the risks, as per your suggestion. Even thought about suggesting they come out to the car park such as some of the scummier Doctors have been doing. Then thought, fuck it, let them deliver it. Instead of wasting an afternoon driving, sitting, waiting etc, I will casually stroll down to my front gate and collect said paperwork, sign it at my leisure sometime this evening, then tomorrow will casually stroll down to the front gate and leave said paperwork for collection.
Won’t have to brush hair, apply make up or dress neatly. May not even wear pants!
All the best, Mater.
Small tip for Cats who use Tunnelbear VPN, which I do. The latest update 4.4.9 on Win 10 isn’t working properly – TB won’t start after the update is installed. Happened on both desktop yesterday and my laptop just now.
The workaround I’ve found is to login to your account on the TB website. When you do that you should see “Download” in the top right of the screen. Do that, then run the installer which you’ve just downloaded. That immediately does the 4.4.9.0 update again, but this time it works correctly.
Jesus discovered that.
So are Labor luminaries the unclean or the modern day Pharisees?
How many babies died lived through their butchering and died on the table in Australian hospitals last year? What is the number? We know precisely how many ingrown toe-nails were removed in Australia.
How many aborted babies organs were sold to pharma companies to be used for research in the last six months?
You don’t know. Neither does anyone else except some compliance officer deep in the bowels of the state health depts where the official number is buried on page 46 of some barely related, euphemism ridden ‘report’. Because when the system doesn’t want to know it simply looks away. It’s had decades of practice at this. People trying to glean vaccine deaths from official stats are doing gods work, and will find bits and pieces like a jigsaw puzzle, but if people are looking for a smoking gun in one place – like a massive spike of dead babies on some official chart you’re going to have a hard time.

If you’re my vintage, you grew up trusting that journalists were hard-nosed, cynical arbiters of truth who thought politicians were wankers and could never ben trusted.
Nowadays, 90% of them are hysterical overgrown children who can’t wait to fall for the next passing fad.
Note: most journalists believe in nothing so of course they believe the “modelling”.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-12-08/olympic-swimmer-maddie-groves-says-she-was-sexually-abused/100669340
Groves said the abuse started when she was 13 and continued until she was 18.
She declined to identify the alleged perpetrator but said he still worked in swimming.
“I haven’t made a complaint about this individual,” she told 7.30.
“I guess my experience from trying to make complaints about other people in sport was so discouraging, it really didn’t leave me feeling that making a complaint about this person would be any different to the others.
“I don’t think I really want to report it to police. It’s obviously a huge process emotionally and it takes such a long time … and then it doesn’t necessarily end up working out that well.
So shes letting a known abuser of kids continue in a role where he has access/power over those kids.
The article is a prime example of mixing dogshit with ice-cream.
There is behavior which is 100% illegal, no-one will defend it in any way, then its expanded into “everything I dont like is the same”. Mysoggyknees is to blame.

Scientists, medicos etc. are definitely more credulous than the general population.
If they were to accept that others act with less than honourable intentions, then they would have to admit their own many deceptions.

It would seem this is the eternal struggle “Science!(tm)” vs religion.
Absolutely mercenary in Labor’s case.
And because of that they’ve learned from Bill Shorten’s inept performance “in this space” in 2019, when surveys showed that in the course of the campaign he lost evangelical Christian voters who were primed to vote Labor.
But one wonders how many “roundtable” discussions Albo has had with coal miners…or are they to be sacrificed on the way to the sunlit uplands of 43% by 2030?
Woops. England wins the toss and decides to bat.
It’s a pattern. The MSN makes heroines out of the enablers of the likes of Epstein and Clinton.

Phrenology lost one of its biggest supporters when Calvin Candie bit the dust.
Razey,
I don’t say this in anger or as payback for that comment, because you are, in fact, correct.
However, I’ll draw your attention to something that you may not have considered. When you talk about fleeing this shit-splattered toilet that is Victoria, you are actually talking about being similarly “broken”. The only people not broken are those that stay put, and ride through the vaccine economy restrictions.
The only difference between myself, and someone fleeing, is the response to being broken. That response is dictated by individual circumstances. Those circumstances can, and will, change between now and when any mandated booster is due.
In this weather I would have bowled.
The ghost of Nasser Hussein’s decision in 2002 still haunts them.
Winston, you are far closer to the reality than any of us want to admit.
Remember this is brought to us by the same generationS (plural), and the same Medical, Political & Media Professionals that cheer & celebrate the “Right” to abortion up to full term birth & still fight for the “Right” to After Birth “abortion” and “Euthanasia” “for” their children.
Yet, even knowing this, people still choose not to believe the evidence of their works and delude themselves into believing that such people want to save lives.
I’m talking about people who were also here to hear this speech personally BEFORE still voting in Victoria’s most evil abortion laws –

As we were forewarned, people still choose to trust the word of such manifestly obvious servants of evil rather than put their trust in The Living Word –
Romans 1:
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
Much of Holland is underwater, including the Schiphol airport in Amsterdam, but all those areas are weirdly dry. I wonder what their secret is?
If any of this happened in NSW then she should be charged with failing to report it.
Brisbane could become the next Gold Coast if a giant tsunami washes away Straddie.
They’ll need to commission a study to find out, including a personal trip by Anna to inspect the dykes.
Unbelievably, those people on the rant about ‘fuck youse all I’m going’ happen to be the very same people who were telling the boaties – when they were coming in their thousands – to piss off home and fix their own country.

I agree that they would have broke me if I can flee the country, preferably unmolested.
At this stage it won’t be until they mandate the clot shot to attend school high schools.
I would take the clot shot ONLY to leave the country permanently. That would be a sort of pyrrhic victory for me.
“After just listening to a nurse (and doctor) tell me how exceedingly rare heart issues are with this shot.”
I looked on the Queensland health site yesterday (before my first shot) suggests heart issues in the males 50-59 age group run to 0.5 per 100,000. There must be around 1m Aussie men in that age group jabbed, which should mean we’ve had 5 cases. How then do I personally know two, both were hospitalised …
I am lost for words at the corruption and deceipt now facing our country, led by politicians, public servants and the media.
Yes, I surrendered & got my first jab yesterday, coerced so I can participate in society by a tyrannical fascist piece of shite government.
You can use one for every day of the working week.
As a scientist my instinctive response when somebody says something sciency is to go and check. And especially check the original data, sans corrections and the various stuff they do to it these days.
If the data says what they say, great. I’ll watch out for whatever it is, and maybe decide on a cost-benefit analysis on whatever they’re proposing (comparative NPVs are your friend).
If the data says the proposal is rubbish, then nothing they say is going to make it not-rubbish, at least not until more data comes in.
So far what I am seeing is that global warming is rubbish, socialism is rubbish, and most Covid actions are rubbish, especially lockdowns and masks. And the data on Covid vaccines is actually quite scary. But then so is riding a bicycle, which I did this morning, so there’s that.
Argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate) is still a classic fallacy. Anyone who is hiding data, or is twisting it into a pretzel, is not to be believed no matter how many letters they have after their name.

Haha, Starc bowled Burns with the first ball of the series.
Let’s see: a first ball duck is a golden, so a first ball of an innings duck would be platinum, a first ball of a whole Test would then be a diamond duck. So what would be a first ball duck of an Ashes Test series then? I’d guess a plutonium duck. Burns has been nuked.
Yep…should have bowled, Joe.

Reading the article it appears when a man and a lady love each other very much she gets on her knees and kisses his willy.
When a 3rd person also loves both of them very much they take a picture of the lady kissing willie while chopping off the head/shoulders of the chap having organ played because hes focused at about waist height.
TL/DR: Porno shot with the chaps heads not in the pic.
I suppose we shall have to fight them with beer bottles, because that’s all we’ve bloody got.

Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyle, was photographed preforming fellatio on a man whose head did not appear in the photograph. There was some speculation as to his identity, particularly (1) The photograph was taken by a Polaroid camera, if which there were two in all England. (2) The Duke of Argyle listed over eighty of his wife’s lovers, when he filed for divorce.
