While we consume yeast poison...

RE: The end of the world

The world won't end in 2012 - the earth will abide.

Now the human race, that I'm not so sure of...

As it pertains to a hobby of mine, I've studied yeast.

Yeast, when put into an environment with resources (sugar in this case) will consume the resources and will make more yeast. All the while the yeast produces a poison which will kill it (alcohol - bless their little hearts.)

Now it is always a race to see if the yeast will die of starvation - from consuming all the resources. Or if the yeast will die because the environment is poisoned. Now in either case I am sure all the little yeast politicians are claiming there is no problem (we will call them the deniers.) They aren't producing enough alcohol to affect the environment, and we will always be able to find enough resources - I'm sure they say.

Funny though, the yeast always die...

I bet before they all die, there are some crazy whack job yeast that try to point out to the politicians that the resources are running out, and the environment is getting poisoned (maybe these crazy whack jobs we will call green.) But it probably is too late in any case...

Yeast are simple creatures... but I find it tragically ammusing the human race is behaving exactly the same way as yeast...

No the world won't end in 2012 - it will take us a few more years than that to kill it... well, us...

RE: Happy Birthday Merriweather!!

Hi Ms. Merri, We haven't met, but I do wish you a very happy birthday.

RE: Gotta love em!!!

But what a life - you can live in a fantasy world the whole time, making up whatever lies you want. He got to be an airline pilot (why anyone would want to drive a bus-with wings for a living I don't know.)

You would think they would understand they don't speak the same english we do... And yet people actually fall for these guys? They must, or they wouldn't keep trying.

RE: B R I S B A N E - Its time for another meet!!!

Or I could always go the Warrick Capper look, with the gold lamme shorts (two sizes too small) and the tight t-shirt, also two sizes too small. (Hope my belly doesn't stick out as much as Warrick's does...)

RE: B R I S B A N E - Its time for another meet!!!

Not quite sure what aussie look I should go for...

The khaki shorts, shirt and boots look?

What would you suggest?

RE: B R I S B A N E - Its time for another meet!!!

Well... she will have fun...

RE: " HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY MR ARKY"

All advertising is brain washing Tarns...

Now - just to be clear - I have a large jar of vegemite in my pantry, and it is Half empty... Am I Aussie or what?



(Like the new profile picture Tarns... )

RE: " HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY MR ARKY"

Thanks Tarns, and I'll always be Canadian born, and I will always talk with a funny accent, But I plan to be fully aussie...

And I will continue to get pissed off when people think I'm american

RE: " HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY MR ARKY"

Its is kind of leafy and fragrant lookin...

And yes Wash, I know what a Shout is, and have done more than a few already.

RE: B R I S B A N E - Its time for another meet!!!

I did notice you are a little faceless there BJ.

Hey Lok, if it is after the 15th of january, I'll be there.

A Political Question

I really appreciate the discussion, but I think I am going to join the Greens.

AA you should like that - they are pro-republican (and I still disagree with that.)

The concern for not only the environment, but for the individual rights is quite appealling. But I still want to meet them before I commit.

They signed me on to the electoral role at the citizenship ceremony so I will be eligible to join a party as soon as it is processed.

RE: " HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY MR ARKY"

I went to my local and celebrated with a couple of XXXX heavies, and a burger (complete with beetroot - so it was an aussie burger.)



And along with the certificate they gave me a tree...

I live in a unit - trying to figure out what to do with it.

RE: " HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY MR ARKY"

hey Guys,

at 3:35 pm this afternoon the mayor of Brisbane made me an Australian.





I have a certificate and everything.

They even singed me on to the electoral role - on the spot.

Really everyone, I truely appreciate all the well wishes, and the welcomes.

A Political Question

lol... yes I have... Out of the 62 countries I have lived in (including England on several occasions) Australia has the best, though not perfect, system I have seen.

The people who don't like us (western white people) don't care if we are from England, the US or Australia. The hate us all equally.

A Political Question

When upgrading from a horse cart, to a car, there are clear benifits.

What are the clear benifits to changing the system we have?

A Political Question

You are asking the right questions, and as was said "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

RE: " HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY MR ARKY"

Thanks Guys...

A Political Question

You are right Wash, but you are forgetting that the US system was copied from the british. Both Franklin and Jefferson wanted a higher house, made of land owners with hereditary rights, just like the house of lords. Adams was the one who pushed for an elected teritorrial representation. Others had pushed for Washington to be crowned king, with the right to appoint hereditary lordships.

A Political Question

I would agree with you on this. I like the fact that no "local" politician can take ultimate control. There is a higher power, in our case the Queen. And as I said before, she acts like a circuit breaker.

As an example, the government is formed by consent of the queen. Had JG not been able to persuade the independants to support her last year, and the ALP and NLP been tied for power, it would have been the queen they would have had to appeal to...

RE: Single

So you are a fan of the caveman technique?

Club them over the head, and drag them back to the cave?



I think that is generally frowned on now for some reason...

I still have the foreign accent... But I'm still looking for the woman you speak of, that goes weak at the knees when I speak...

A Political Question

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

The herd is made of individuals, and the herd collectively decides the direction to go...

I don't completely agree with any of the political parties, but some are closer than others, and my membership might change, albeit slightly, the direction of the herd.

Not getting involved means I have to put up, and shut up.

A Political Question

hi Wash, Not sure what you mean there.

The parliament here in Oz is based on the english system - the US system is very different and (IMHO) is hopeless with the elected president.

Maybe I am missing you meaning?

RE: Single

Nah, I've been pinching Aussie jobs for a couple years now. I get to be an Aussie on Saturday...

However, since I have come here, Australia has been happy to recieve all of my taxation with out reprisentation...
