RE: 'PHRASES,THINGS,THAT DONT MAKE SENSE"

@ Nam - wave .. The form lb is actually an abbreviation of the Latin word libra, which could mean a pound, itself a shortened form of the full expression, libra pondo, “pound weight”. The second word of this phrase, by the way, is the origin of the English pound.... professor


The abbreviation "oz" (ounce) derives from the Italian word onza (now spelled oncia)... conversing

RE: FINALLY, IF RELIGION NEVER COUNTED BUT ONLY RELATI

I have spent a great deal of my time cruising up and down the eastern sea-board of Australia. On board a yacht everyone needs to get along with each other because if you get into an argument then need to go for a walk to cool off, you're going to get very wet feet, therefore a single, important rule pertaining to all yachts about 'conversation' is observed, "THERE IS TO BE NO DISCUSSION ABOUT POLITICS OR RELIGION"..... and it works very well...... cool

RE: THE 60'S RELATIONSHIP BACK?

@ Didier15 - wave .. In my opinion, what happens between two people who are in love with each other should be of no concern to anyone else, family, friends or otherwise and should be accepted for what it is.

Too many people in this world spend too much time meddling in other people's afairs.

If you're in love with someone and your friends or family don't agree,... to bad.... tell them to get over it.... grin

RE: "TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST"

@ Nam - I'm sure that you would have been popular at the recycle centre.... laugh rolling on the floor laughing

On special days, once every two to three months you can pile up stuff that can't fit into the bins on the front foot-path such as broken appliances, furniture, old garden equipment, roof sheeting etc and a couple of guys with a truck will come and pick them up manually...

.... grin cheers

RE: "TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST"

@ Nam - Here we have many 'wheelie bins' of various colour or with coloured lids.

The green lids are general rubbish
The yellow lids are recycle with a vertical divider, one for plastics or cardboard.
The red lids are green waste like grass cuttings, prunings etc

This colour scheme can vary from one council area to the next or state to state.

RE: "TECHNOLOGY AT ITS BEST"

@ Nam - In our country it is against Occupational health and safety policies for trash men to pick-up a bag that is not in the bin, because they may get back injury if it's too heavy, cut by something sharp or stabbed by a needle, all our wheelie-bins are picked up and emptied by the remote arm on the truck, drivers don't get out for any reason..... conversing

RE: justice

@ lindsyjones - wave ... I’ve always said that no-one left this planet and placed anyone else in charge,..... all authority is assumed. Under 'Universal Law' no-one has the right to incarcerate or kill any other being, the assumed authority we live under will never get it right, there are probably hundreds if not thousands of people locked up who are innocent.

On another note I recently read an article concerning Australia’s beginnings. All too often British courts would convict innocent trades-people on invented charges because the new colony needed Stone-masons, Cartwrights, Farriers etc thus they were shipped here to help the country prosper.... what a joke the legal system is...... barf

RE: The Poison In Our Food

@ Cat - wave ... 1/3 cup of apple seeds eaten in one sitting is enough to kill an adult.

RE: The latest on the Mechanics of War

@ lindsyjones - wave ... If they are telling us about a weapon it means that it is already in their asenal (ready for use) and other countries already know about it.

It's the weapons that are still 'top secret' that are the main worry... military technology is about 10 years ahead of what they actually tell us about.... blues
