Lol - it seemed quite plausible as a child !! ( along with Lassie and there was another show with a very clever dolphin in it - name escapes me - really showing my age !! )

I don't remember the dolphin
Oh i forgot about Lassie she can be our state premier cos she is more intelligent than Mr Andrews
Skippy will be our prime minister.
Mr Ed came to my mind first. Remember a horse is a horse off course off course. He can be the speaker of the house
There is Free Willy the orca whale, she can join the cabinet
The painting of those dogs playing cards... Join the federal cabinet
Hahahaha... Who else... I love birds i want them in...
Ah homing pigeons, like UK mail, they can be ministers for mail, aviation, whatever really, their in
Hehehehe...:D:D:D

To be honest all of us have been part of groups that looked down on other groups - I mean at school, it would be one school against another, In school it was the ordinary against the those who were really clever. Within society it’s those who are wealthy against those who are poor ect ( and that’s nothing to do with colour or race ) So then it moves to communities, cultures ect.

The VERY ODD thing in One Looking upon another...TO me IS:
WHY are people SO OBSCESSED, with OTHERS who DO NOT LIKE THEM?
Their hair, their financial status, their housing, their looks, their customs, their clothing, their language, their behavior, their religious doctrines, their political views, their music, their popularity, their talents, their mannerisms, and ON and ON?

Seriously, WHY does the person being LOOKED Down upon...ARE "Themselves" placing such a "High Value" on what "another person" Dislikes?

That has Never made a lick of common sense to me.

Are people Really that Shallow, they believe their own Value is Dictated by what Other people think?

Glory to God,
Taken

Yes, it is odd, but it’s always there - is it’ the chip on their shoulder ‘ or perhaps deep down it’s because they want to be liked, now that’s a universal problem- don’t all of us want to be liked at some stage in our lives. We want to fit in , be accepted. Maybe , at the root of it ,is the need to be loved. The hole within the Human heart that only the Lord can really feel.

People have all kinds of things they like and dislike and associate those things with people who do or don't do the things they like or do not like.

It is unfathomable to me that a person Likes "everything"... or "everybody"... but yet can become so obsessed when someone doesn't like them...even to the point of causing themselves ill health (depression, anxiety, delusions, etc.) and Wickedness.

This seems so common in today's society.
Weird to me.

Glory to God,
Taken

Im going to just let Rowan Dean speak here...



I utter his very words, with less aggression.
I've never seen this man so fired up before and i can understand why.

He makes some excellent points.
Now there is going to be a spike in corona cases and deaths, many will be linked to protesters.
In that case that blood is on the hands of our state premiers and courts.

If there is not spike then it will expose the fact that covid was overblow in the first place and all the damage from the lockdown will be in their hands

Either way our state premiers are about to get exposed I think. It should be similar in the USA too. If covid is really as bad as they've made it out to be bad then people will start dying

Hi Christo,
It will all come out in the wash. I had been thinking along the same lines; are all these protesters going to get sick?? Hmmmm. Been more than 2 weeks now.... :eek:

It’s the same in the UK - it was George Floyd that triggered the protests here, but we do equally have racist issues in certain areas- not to the same degree , but it’s never really gone away completely.
I believe the protests got out of hand on London.
Like you Cristo, I have concerns about the virus spiking as a result of so many people coming together around the country. We have only just lifted part of the lockdown. I feel for those who are vulnerable and are still in isolation, so eager to get back to some normality. If it spikes again ,that will affect them for longer.
If it doesn’t, then it will prove something else....
Rita

Same here Rita,
Things seem so surreal right now and so many are on edge and fearful. They are ready and already busting out here...our outdoor restaurants are open now. Some beaches too. Maybe they should have given a good month after the riots settle to see what happens with the spike, before opening all this stuff. We are in phase two so...we can get haircuts, dogs groomed! But, I am seeing many without masks.

That's called the *unmasking* of Fauci.:cool: What is needed next is for him to be taken to the woodshed for misleading America and destroying its economy.

Also, did you not get the recent memo from WHO that only those who know they are infected should wear masks? Indeed, some doctors have warned that masks are more hazardous than no masks. And masks don't do a thing (except give you a chance to mug little old ladies).

We still haven’t got ordinary shops open, only food shops. They can open on the 14 June. No hairdressers yet ( they don’t think that will happen till at least July, and that applies to cafes and other eating venues )
We have to wear masks in shops and on the buses - I have kind of got use to wearing them at work. My dad has been out for a few trips to have his warfarin test done at the local chemist. I haven’t been wearing masks on the way to work, but from the 14th it will be compulsory on public transport.

I know it is so frustrating and can feel like prison with having to go through all of this personal protective wear but, i think the UK is being smart here. The US does EVERYTHING way too fast and rash...

You got that right Enoch! Sadly, those most guilty on this earth seem to get a slap on the hand. Well, unless you are Martha Stewart :D

Hello, I saw this on facebook: -

upload_2020-6-8_7-14-13.png

but if people heal their hurts, then they will have no reason to hurt others by making other to feel like they believe that they do, so as to suffer like they do without any healing, which is their choice to live in.

There will not be a spike. The whole thing was a hoax and if Hillary was President in the USA you would never know of covid and it would be like swine flu. People across the globe become smart and the globalist couldn't have that so they dealt in fear porn and it darn near worked where they would get rid of freedom forever. I am not saying the virus is not real but that it was over-hyped to serve an evil agenda

Where, not in Melbourne, not west side suburbia. It a beautiful melting pot of cultures here.
That's what I love about Melbourne. Particularly in the west and south east. So cosmopolitan. It's even the same in the church I normally attend. Mostly Pacific island kiwis but also Filipino, African, Mauritian, Asian. And even a few Australians.

Enoch cracked me up with this and i was reminded of Skippy the bush kangaroo... He should be our prime minister...
He is smarter than all our politicians combined.
He does everything, catches bad guys, saves his mates, he understands English, he can operate vehicles and build rockets


Ahahaha e can even understand Italian mate what a classic. He gambles on the horses.
He delivers important orders and makes countless revelations, he picks locks and unties knots and neutralizes the enemy all the time...
And he gives baby koala a ride as well

I nominate Skippy to be a candidate for the next federal election
I have been recording all them Skippy shows, I like Skippy, I remember that tried to show that one with the cute little koala on Skippy back to my nipper.
all the Skippy's on the show were not like the kangaroos we have up here, ours have a different head real ugly and bigger, all the Skippy's on the show have softer more rounded skull, more of a wallaby look to me.

If you watch the chopper pilot he never ever touches Skippy, he did once with a pencil rubbed it across Skips snout and scone a bit as Skip had it's mitt in his leg when he was sitting down and that made Sonny really happy.

I hate kangaroos myself they are just big rats to me and a total pest but people in the city love them, because they do not have to deal with them killing people and damaging cars and trucks, they can get real vicious as well especially the buck as all he will do is fight 24/7 they will kill you dogs as well.
Anyone caught looking after them should be jailed and fined for premeditated murder or damage they cause.

I hate koalas as well when they live near by you, as the noise and the fighting that goes on at night as they are so vicious in the wild, they are classed as a pest to anyone who has to put up with them.

As to the ones I seen on TV in the fires this year, you have to be joking ! they are pets that must of been put out into the fires that the media lit, a chopper would be recording the fires above and funny enough all these spot fires are started near the road and then you are shown a tame koala that has been deliberately burnt by them. a wild one would go you, they are not like wombats. I have never been able to catch a koala out in the wild myself, I have come across them when out riding my dirt bikes out in the bush and seen them walking on the ground they are quick, like trying to catch a wild cat, if you did catch them with your hands they would latch on to you, they have teeth and claws, just look at how fast they can shoot up a tree, you want that on you no way and they will piss on you and the smell:eek:.

I am sure that they dope them up in the Zoo or vaccinate them and then they become dopy and slow.
