Right on Don. He has been pilloried, mercelessly. Whistle blowers don't do what they do for reward. They do it out of conviction and to see things improved We have a long way to go yet to set things right. Nev

I don't wish to trivialise it Don. I have been a teacher and admit to being naive, back then. I NEVER had any real idea of the extent of it Its DISGUSTING and the cover ups make it worse. Nev

There's lots of bad stuff in the old testament. Re the kiddy fiddling some seemed to treat it as a fringe benefit of being in the job. In fairness it's not only the priests. Sexual exploitation appears to be anywhere it could possibly be. Nev

Geez I don't know Yenn. Keeping on the correct side of the road and obeying lights seems like a good idea. Surely there are others Don't pinch stuff. Molest Kids, sell adulterated food. Isn't a lot of it just living in a society that functions for the majority. Don't ALL tribes have RULES? Nev

And checklists. The surgeons reckon they are clever and don't need them. They only kill one at a time.. and don't get investigated often. Nev

The Archangel Gabriel. Surely a faulty design? Nev

Sleeping is OK but they do more than that. The Devil at work no doubt or perhaps maybe they were doing it to procreate so that is OK too.

The whole statement by John is loaded. Who decides what a smartass is. The "truths and realities of biblical creation" IF that's not contestable we are in strife. Does one humiliate someone with a different view as a matter of course? at religious INSTRUCTION lessons. This is an example of why that kind of thing is so objected to and rightly so. Nev

Can this get any worse? I'm gagging on it.

People do exploit the english system. It's one of the PULL factors for economic migration. In Africa the family say to the BOY. Why don't you go the UK and send back lots of money like so and so down the road does. (you lazy piece of whatever) Nev

The most common cause of bankruptcy in the US is medical costs. (and that is a fact).. Nev

When they are in the business of making money, like the Poker machines which is actually TAKING money they should be treated as any other business. Any real charity should not be taxed on their "charitable efforts" Nev

Sure... As people worthy of some admiration,... IF the "story" is not fabricated (and it took a while to compile it) This Guy Jesus wasn't corrupted by money and thought the church of the time was a bit on the nose. "You have made my Father's house a den of thieves" and tipped over the tables of the moneychangers. He wasn't a snob either. I wonder what he would make of most of the modern churches. Doubt he would be impressed by some. Seems a reasonable sort of person.

The old testament by contrast has a lot of BAD stuff going on. women get treated poorly and it's OK if you are one of gods chosen otherwise you get a very poor time of it. Bit like some parts of the world today. IF you are with the right mob it's fun killing people who dare to think a bit different to you. The bible is the word of god?? Really !!Just WHICH part is... as there are many contradictions I reckon a lot of guys wrote it Not much evidence of a feminist ..Certainly Constantine made it a Holy Trinity.( 3 gods) by proclamation, enabling the Muslims to build on christianity and introduce the far more likely of a lot of unlikely possibilities. ONE true GOD and a new prophet and state there won't be any more.prophets. Hell I find it hard to write this stuff..Nev

What's happening with Islam now is just the same as Christianity back a while. A French King forced religion on the Nordic peoples .under penalty of death. Believe in something or die. That's an oxymoron if belief is believed in. Nev

Well that is some of the serious stuff. We have a problem with CRETINS too but I don't know where they come from (Not Crete) WE have Con CRETE for shoes etc Very progressive in some areas. Super humorous too. We keep calling ourselves CLEVER. The cleverest get cushy jobs in a place where they ruined a good paddock to make it, called CANBERRA where people can live in isolation from the real world which makes them happier than usual.

It's ALL desert and hot . Don't come.. TOO much Sun BAD Place. Have you seen the Mad Max Films? (3) It's like that now but the film isn't too accurate. They made us out to be nice (er) in the film. Nev

Grasshoppers, not frogs. We get plagues of mice too. Feral Cats wild dogs, Dingoes, Crocodiles, Venomous snakes Red backed spiders Funnel web spiders, Scorpions Tasmanian Devils, mosquitoes, Blow flies March flies, drug addicts, stone fish, blue ringed octopusses poisomous jelly fish Big sharks bigger sharks. Frill neck lizards Goannas. Terrible place.

Stay away everyone It started as a penal colony and hasn't changed much. Don't believe the ads There's no shrimps left. Crocodile Dundee had to pay heaps to the tax man. Dust storms Heat poverty Platipus have poisonous spikes It's all desert. The driest continent in the world Rivers run dry. Dust storms again Heavy metal contamination. I could get into the serious stuff, but don't want to alarm anyone. Nev

Nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. We are rapidly heading in the same direction. Nev

You must have a dull life if you are happy with everything being recorded. about you. You need to be able to access and appeal your personal data if it is not correct. (They wouldn't show you the real file).

UK must be the most surveilled place in the world. Nev

Velocette built a lot of war stuff. Dowty Rotol props etc I think they all did. Rudge never produced after the war. I think they got bombed out. Nev

You get on a plane with a downloaded piece of paper. On line data can provide what you need any time. (extract from the database) which YOU can monitor and volunteer to use. You don't have rego labels on the windscreen any more in Victoria. Why carry a multi use licence to lose somewhere and be stuck.. Nev

Some were used in Autogyros. Nev

The big bang I don't think conflicts with the creation.

Once there was only darkness and then there was LIGHT.(and plenty of it).

A DAY could be an EON a period of time.. so 6 "days" isn't so much of a problem. (unless you are a complete littoralist). A day for us is one rotation of our planet, which being made of at least some particles (the heavier atomic number ones) from older "busted" stars came along a lot later. Nev

Like your argument. Once you have a even small bit to do with physics, you realise how much it governs motion in the universe. How could anything interfere with it and not cause utter chaos?. Nev

Anything is possible actually. I can live with that. It's a lot of the impossible things I have difficulty with. I'm sure we will never know everything.. THAT appears to be impossible. Nev

Where does the energy and matter to make the maker of energy and matter come from? Nev

I believe there is energy /matter out there in abundance, but I'm rapidly losing faith in humans behaving in a decent manner to each other. Most books I know are written by humans and suffer because of it. Nev
