Yes, you are a sad loser S.L. I, otoh, have a happy life knowing that when the so-called life here ends, I will be a son of god in it's entirity. It is not hard to get here either, all you have to do is receive the Lord's Holy Spirit by following a few Scriptures that's all. Acts ch2vs38 tells us how to get what the Lord says we should have to live forever. It is, of course, His Spirit which is the entirity of the Lord in one package. Google Revival Fellowship and my name is Craig Abernethie. Happy Travels.
Don't worry J.B. there is a Lord and an afterlife. Sorry for your loss but if you seemingly don't want to follow them to a far worse place than this Life, do this. Believe that the Bible is the Inspired Word of the Lord. Do what it says to do in the book of Acts, ch. 2 vs. 38 and once you speak in a Language you have never learn't, you will have received the Holy Ghost and then contact the Revival Fellowship to attend meetings and learn about your experience. Also start reading the New Testament from Matthew onwards (a chapter or 2 every day) and see the miracles the Lord did andsaid for us to do as well. He is the Example to all Christians everywhere.
No Lie, I have had this experience now for over 35 and 1/3 years and it's as fresh as it was back then. I understand it more now and appreciate what the Lord has done for me every day. Happy Trails. P.S. when you have Acts2:38 open, we get people to say the Hallelujah which means praise the Lord. After that, when the Lord see's your repentant heart, He gives you the Holy Ghost as a "down payment" on eternal life. Happy Trails.
I can think of the only way to prove the existence of the Lord to yourself. Do what the Apostle Peter said to do in the book of Acts, ch.2 vs38,"Repent and be Baptised every one of you, and you shall be filled with the Holy Ghost". In my organisation, when people do these steps as laid out in the Word, they receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost and the evidence is to speak in a language the user has never learnt (speaking in other Tongues). I had this experience 35y4m and 13 days ago and it has never left me as the Lord says. The Gospel is a Personal Experience and that is why few there be that find it and fewer still stick with it till the End.
To answer the statement above, it is reproducible, consensually experiential and testable. What Business is it of Science to say,"prove your God to us and then we'll believe?" The Lord says believe my Word and then you'll get what i've promised to give you. People will find out about the Power of the Lord in some time to come when they are starving because the marauding hordes will have stripped every bit of food from the land because of the worldwide destruction of everything of value that passes for affluence today. In the Gospels of the new testament (matthew, mark, luke and john), it is written that the Lord fed 4,000 and in another place 5,000 people who we're starving.
Only one way that happens and that is if the Lord had the power over everything natural. That is the Power of the Holy Ghost to create things including a new creature that is suitable to live forever. To also quote from above,"the balls in your court", or rather "your life is on the line forever". I hope this gets through to people who are truly searching for the Lord. My name is Craig Abernethie and I belong to an organisation called the Revival Fellowship and we have a doctrine second to none because the Lord gave it to us. Happy Trails.
I think you are wrong Mr. AC, the "Scientists" exclude the Lord in any number of ways (google it) and the "Philosophers" exclude Him on the basis of Him not being all in all I think. What if the Universe is in a part of HEAVEN (where the Lord lives after all) and we are just Worms on this Planet who don't want anything to do with Him. That is a much more accurate scenario and so that doesn't help anyone and that is what Satan wants, NO HOPE. The Lord does offer an experience that saves us initially and can lead to supernatural (read Spiritual) Powers beyond the comprehension of man. The reason both groups make no sense is because they are willingly ignorant of what the Lord promises to those who obey Him and they don't believe either when we tell them what He can and has done all around them and everyone. I say this: get off your high horses, people of the Earth, and just do what the Lord says to do (it is simple but not necessarily easy) and we as a group will be ultimately Saved and not be part of the deceived group which are going to burn forever in the lake of Fire and Brimstone. My name is Craig Abernethie and I belong to a group called the Revival Fellowship in Australia and you can google us (just don't be deceived). Happy Trails.
Has anyone on this site ever heard of Humility? Are we too proud to truly know anything? Have we learnt nothing from God's inspired Word especially on this weekend? Can the human brain possibly contain all the knowledge in and about this Universe? To all of these questions, not in a Million years and we don't have that much time remaining to learn either! We can theorise and hypothesise till the Cow's come home (or the Lord returns) and we will never know much about our Universe because it is just too big and old. All we can be is Humble in accepting what the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) has to say about everything and being obedient to the Lord and then when He returns to pick us up, so to speak, we will know all things and have the ability to check it all out as the Sons of God ourselves!!
Unfortunately, most or at least the most vocal "Scientists" are never going to admit there is a God and do what he says to do. So they shall continue to deceive everybody by lying by omission except the one's called the very elect. The Lord, OTOH, says "believe me and you shall live". Not good enough for the "Worms" who live on this planet who want to know everything. At least the True Christians have the Truth and when everyone hears it they have to decide YAY or NAY. The Lord has repeatedly warned the people of the Earth that He will Judge, Jury and Execute or not Obliterate everyone when they finally get where He is and who can escape that? Only 1 group will and that is the group who are raised up to meet the Lord in the air when He returns (that selfsame very elect). That is the Truth from the Christian perspective and if you don't believe me well good luck you'll need it.
Now onto what this passage from Mr. mfwitten is about. I believe the Big Bang was done this way. An infinitely dense blob of matter in HEAVEN (after all, that is where the Lord lives) was "touched" by the Holy Ghost (the creative arm of the Lord) and there was a BB! I only have a pass at Yr12 Physics and nothing else except a bit of Faith obviously so I may be way out with this Hypothesis but it seems to fit what I was taught in High School 41-37 years ago (1973-1977). Neither here nor there though because my kind will know all things one day and be able to see what actually happened as it happened. The Lord gives abilities to all of His Sons and Daughters to be like Him. It is a Spiritual thing which is discerned by the Lord and not revealed to everyone except they come to Him in humility and do what He says in the Word.
On the subject of where did God come from I say this, why not do what He says to do and when we are all finally Saved we will know where He came from and we won't need to ask Him. That will be the ultimate revenge of the Lord over the Devil who has corrupted most things that the Lord made. Be one of the Very Elect and then one day you will join us on the way up. Now if you don't want to do that, the Lord will not help you. On the subject of the unanswerable question, The Lord can answer any question and so will anyone be able to when they are ultimately Saved. It will be an Omni-present, Omni-Scient and Omni-powerful sort of existence. The Lord will give that power to the few who shall be ultimately Saved. With regard to these not being easy questions I agree. They force each of us to face facts which are not so easy to understand. As the Lord says we see through a glass darkly. Even the Christians see very little of what the Lord has done because we can't contain it in our physical bodies.
That is why it has to be a Spiritual experience because that gives us the ability to understand. I am glad you mention religion and myth in the one sentence though because they are both of them the way man worships the Lord. Man joins a religion and believes their myths which entrap man in a worse situation than they we're in before. Now how to do this is simple. All we as a race have to do is Repent, Be Baptised and the Lord will fill us with the Holy Ghost. When we have that experience we can understand things that the Lord wants to teach us. My name is Craig Abernethie and I belong to the Revival Fellowship in Australia for the last 35y2m and 13days since I did what the Lord asked. Feel free to Google us and, hopefully, see you on the way up.
What utter garbage the whole global warming/ ClimateChange/Pollution it all is. Carbon Dioxide has never been proven to do anything on a worldwide basis. I know so-called Scientists need something to do but can't they pick something else to research? It is a total fallacy to blame CO2 for the world's disparate Climate related changes. Just another way to RIP US ALL OFF. The planet hasn't warmed in about 17 years and the Oceans are not absorbing enough to prove that and there is no hotspot in the upper atmosphere. So don't come at us with your crap and BTW, what are you smoking? My name is Craig Abernethie.
You will get to see how the World will cope when the Fiscal System collapses under the weight of Debt very soon Jythie. Only a matter of time till China and it's "alternative" G-8 (of Currencies) make the U.S. Dollar redundant. Then anyone not their friends will feel the Wrath of China! Then the real heroes will emerge when everybody is starving in the streets. After the Lord did feed the 4,000 and the 5,000 in 2 seperate miracles. YMMV.
The simple answer to the whole "problem???!!!" of whether or not to get Solar installed anywhere is whether or not you can afford it! If the FedGuv has to subsidise it that is probably not good because the FedGuv already owes enough money NOW and really can't afford any more debt. Straw that breaks the Camel's back and all that. Fortunately, I have a best friend who has a Diploma in Elec- tronic Engineering for the maintenance of such a system. Bye Y'all.
@iCEBaLM, If we spend money we don't have we are doing future generations a disservice by creating debt for them to payback. If we spend money we do have (increased taxes or charges) we are ripping off the populace now and the poor will have to choose between food or rent or electricity and that is not fair. It is all beside the point because the whole country owes so much in TOTAL (fed guv debt is nowhere near it at all) that we will never pay it off. So probably the best thing to do is leave us to be in peace and just get on with your life. I believe the total debt of Australia to be about $3-4 Trillion at this time. That is Fed. Guv. Debt + State Guv. Debt + Local Guv. Debt + small, medium and large Business Debt (which they use to lower their taxes) + personal debt of every man, woman and child!
At least my debt's are way below the Average per Capita. My wife has no debt at all. The problem with debts is they have to be paid back sometime and that interferes with "the business cycle". That gives rise to the ups and downs in the economy and therefore Unemployment. That is the real killer of any growing Economy, Unemployment and even UnderEmployment. It means that not every person is contributing equally. So just get on with your life and don't bother the rest of us with silly, pie in the sky notions cooked up by so-called Science and their practitioners. All this is irrelevant because in the next 10 years we are going to have such a financial meltdown and probably much earlier than that. When the USA and Europe can't pay their debts, it will look like the whole world is ending and it is going to happen. Better stock up on food while it's available in quantity. Set aside a bedroom full and you should last at least a few years on Cans of Beans and vegetables.
Science is probably wrong in this case, just as it has been wrong about many things. Greenies infiltrate many places of influence and can thus try to dupe the rest of us. We, the common people of the world, just want to be able to live in relative safety, harmony and wealth. If society made laws based on these Tenets, we would have a world or at least several countries where life would be so good they would be examples to the rest of us. Now, where are they? Are they any of the Communist based countries, I would say not. How about Europe, can't see anything there really. America? I don't think so with all the conflict there. How about Australia?
Yes I think we have it. Low debt (and scheduled to get lower eventually), reasonable wealth per capita (and could go higher), Stable land mass (very few major Earthquakes). A reasonably smart (not smarmy) population and good social security system to look after the needy. Reasonable education and health systems to look after those sections of the Economy. Now all we need is a larger population to develop the country and it would be Utopia (only kidding). What we don't need are nutcases spouting on about something the majority of us don't believe is true. We don't need the liars who want to feather their own nests at the expense of all the rest of us. So we truly are "The Lucky Country".
Here, here Bogjobber, you've got it right in One. You can have Gnu without Linux but you can't have Linux without Gnu. RMS did start the revolution off and Software has been Free ever since. Only those out to hijack his work are the complainers! Anyone can be a mongrel when his creation is being maligned by all sorts of nobody's who don't share the same ideals as the original creator. Linus'es ravings are legendary in that regard. Even the term open source means that Software isn't necessarily Free and therefore when anyone mentions open source I steer clear of them because they will never understand Free Software. Thank goodness for the 95% who don't whinge and carry on like wounded bulls. BTW, Debian works just fine on my Laptop. Don't let Mongrel Dogs get you down with all their howling!
I do not like Centralized Guv! Generally the left side of politics spend too much on their promises and tenets and policies and the right spend less and interfere less. I live in Australia though, so over here it's a little easier to discern. The Republicans in America seem to be the exception that proves the rule however. They spend too much as well as adopt some leftist policies so they are more Centrist or Centre-Left rather than Rightist. I hope that I can make enough money to escape all this when the gravy train explodes. Have fun take care People.
Yes he is certainly in hot water with the Board no doubt for espousing a personal opine. I am free to answer on his behalf though, some people do take offence at certain comments by their elders. That's mistake no.1, we are all Sinners no matter what we do until we become Spiritual. The path of life is strewn with many potholes and that's why the Lord said "honour your father and mother", because well you know why. We need guidance from the Bible, from our Parents, from the Spirit and from the Lord because it will not be easy to get to Heaven despite the ease of life now.
We are all going to feel the effects of a worldwide financial crash within a decade from now and we will not escape it. Only the Lord's people will have the power to feed the 4 or 5 thousand as happened in the Bible. It is not going to be pretty at that time. Bands of Street Thugs going around burning houses to get inside and all the food. Then Christians will be the one's who learn humility and converting people to the Lord. Then the Lord shall return and the faithful one's will have eternal life as Spiritual Beings and the Unfaithful to somewhere else. You have been warned by a truth-telling Christian. P.S. Get plenty of cans of mixed veges + red kidney beans + baked beans + 4 bean mix. Also pans and a gas burner to cook them with. About 5,000 cans might be enough to last 7y. HTRH and HFTC All.
Absolute Rubbish this Global Warming or CC whatever. Where has the warming been for the last 15 or more years? It's just a plot to restrict, rip-off and also no doubt punish the poorer nations of the world. I've some news for everybody, we are heading towards a cataclysmic meltdown of the World Economy caused by, you guessed it, Profligate Governments all around the World spending money they don't have on things WE don't need!! With all the QE going on around the place, all currencies will be worthless soon (I reckon within 10 years tops but perhaps 5) and if the Currency is worthless so is the Country.
Till a couple of years ago, I had no idea of the precariousness of the World Economy. When the Asians "deal" with the U.S.A. for their stupidity, Lord help us all. There might be a basket of Currencies to trade with but the Debt will remain and when the U.S. defaults, no-one will escape. International Trade will collapse and we will all be suffering. There is not enough money in the World to get rid of the debt's that every Country has. That will make Global Warming seem like a drop in the bucket. All the Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics will come to be revealed as just so much Hot-Air. There will be Anarchy on the streets with roving bands of street thugs burning everything in sight in an effort to feed themselves.
Global emissions will then crash because no-one will be using electricity, keeping the Greenies happy but making the rest of us Very Sad. All in all you lot will need the Christians to replicate the feats of Jesus when he fed the 4,000 and again the 5,000 when they were an hungred. I am a Christian and know that the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) has already predicted the end of this World. Fortunately, we can all receive the Holy Spirit and speak in other Tongues as evidence that we are saved and that we can become Spiritual rather than Carnal. Enjoy your life, such as is left of it.
It's not just Linus' Project. It was Richard M Stallman who first made Free Software in the "Linux" context. It's also called Gnu/Linux because RMS made the tools and Linus just did the Kernel. One without the other is useless.
We should just take what they give us, Serve the Lord and be walking in the Holy Spirit until He returns. That is the whole duty of Man because the Devil is more than ever now in control of this Planet and he will undermine every thing we hold sacred in years past in the name of terrorism. All this stuff happening right now and in the future is just an effort to get us riled up and rebellious and hateful about what is happening and that plays straight into Satan's hands.
The bible says that this sort of thing will happen in the last days because Man will be deceived by Satan and he will be fearful of his own shadow. Not that anyone on/. will believe what I say because most of you don't believe. To each his own of course. MMW.
It's the lack of Minerals in the soil that is the major problem. The Fruits and Veges we as a society grow can only take from the ground what is in it. The Scientists also are some of the problem and the food companies are as well. As for a solution, it is simple although not necessarily easy. Let a patch of land lie fallow for a year. Divide the Farm into 7 areas and plant all 7 areas with your crops.
After 2 years empty the 7th plot and leave fallow for a year. After 3 years transplant crop 1 into the 7th plot. Then every year, put the crop that is in the plot next to the fallow 1 into the first plot. eg. crop 2 into plot 1 and leave plot 2 fallow. After that, 3 into 2 and leave 3 fallow for a year. Then 4 into 3 and leave 4 fallow. That will give you the best quality Fruits and Veges. The bank might have something to say about that though.
You however can tell them you are following the Biblical method as that guarantees the best Nutrition and Quality every year. The wisdom behind this is it allows the Land to regenerate by the rains coming and the bugs on top of the land to deposit their droppings on top and the worms take it from the top and churn it into the soil. After a year, you plant some crops into that plot and then grow for six years just taking it out after 6 and putting it into the vacant plot.
It is our intensive, overfarming that is the problem. If we take a little time to let the Land rest for a year, we will have less output but the Quality and Nutrition will be better. HTRH.
So which is it Dixie? Are we Denying Global Warming (yes) or are we Denying Climate Change (no). Get your facts straight, It has not Globally Warmed in 16 years now but the Climate has Changed all that time. We have never denied Climate Change but the Socialists keep using it as an excuse to drain more Taxes and do more spending on a non-existent problem. It is a Conspiracy between some so-called Scie- ntists and voracious Gov's the World over. They want Taxes and we get Monkeys in return.
In this Country (Aus), we have had a series of debacles since the Socialists got in and now we have a large debt hanging around the neck of every man, woman and child because they got it so wrong. Clean energy will clean our collective pockets as well. The Fed Gov of Aus know that it is only effective for a small part of the time each day and it has still to be subsidised so people can afford it. Then they raise the price of Hot Air with any means possible (carbon dioxide taxes and such) and so that rips off other sections of the community. So the middle class pay more for Power and Business too and Western Australia as well.
I do live in the Western State and the way we are Put down by the Eastern States is simply ridiculous. We more than pay our way in this country and we are called rich and then the Fed Gov penalises us any way they can. All in the name of "equalisation". I'm glad we get the chance to kick them out but hard. The gravy train is about to be turned off thanks to your Socialist Buddies.
Hi Cenan, hasn't anybody told you? It hasn't Globally Warmed for at least 16 years now
no matter what the GCM's say? Where do you get your Bull***t from? Did you read it on
the Weet-Bix packet as we say in Aus? Try to do your own research instead of Polluting
Fora such as this with your Ignorance. The Socialists will eventually win this War of theirs
but not without the Truth coming out in a hard fought battle with the Non-Liars.
Most ordinary people will just soldier on with their lives as if nothing has changed and so
won't be worried by what is happening. We on the other hand can fight ignorance because
we want to have Cheap Energy and not get ripped off by this Socialist Fed Gov in Aus and
at least we get the chance to kick them out in a few Months time. Who cares about Nuance
anyway, i would rather have a reasoned Mass-debate in the media which they have denied
us. So we're forced to come to Blogs like this and put up with all sorts. Marvellous.
Also there are no more than usual "extreme" weather events happening and you also have
not proven anybody wrong because it's you who is wrong about this. Try not to display your
ignorance so arrogantly in the future.
Because of the simplicity of my use of a comp., I can make do with Gnu/Linux very nicely. Web Pages, Text files and simple Games (Aisleriot) are all I need to use to get my work done. In-built things such as DHCP (to get on the net), Cups (to drive my FREE {as in beer} Samsung Black Laser) are all I need. I am a supporter of the Free Software Foundation and Gnu/Linux (for the last 15 years) in particular because it will bring Freedom to many Millions worldwide and that can't be a bad thing. HFTC All.
The models inputters don't have anything like a complete "picture" to input into the Models and therefore the models outputs cannot be trusted. Also which of the models available predicted the current "pause" in the temperature rise please. You put up a good bluff Xyrus (the Virus, ConAir just joking) but fall short on the knowledge and data to make a logical and provable argument. Based on your response, I think you must be on the side of those who take and not those who give.
Agreed hs. We are going to have a bigger problem soon though. Thanks to trying to mitigate this CAGW, many countries are in a lot of Debt and have to borrow to pay their bills. When the money runs out, that will kill 100's of Millions or Billions of people before CAGW get's a look in. Already most people worry more about having employment and money than CAGW. Also the measures for combatting CAGW are very expensive (according to the boffins) for the amount of energy they produce AND they are not capable of providing Baseload Power!!
Looks like the Greenies have leapt before they looked. Various Guv's around the World are complicit in this and deserve to be roundly Condemned.
Agreed A.C., but they do want to kill Billions of People and have the Earth to themselves. So no matter what we do we're still in the "firing" line. HFTC.

I only have a pass at Yr12 Physics and nothing else except a bit of Faith obviously so I may be way out with this Hypothesis but it seems to fit what I was taught in High School 41-37 years ago (1973-1977).

It is a Spiritual thing which is discerned by the Lord and not revealed to everyone except they come to Him in humility and do what He says in the Word.
On the subject of where did God come from I say this, why not do what He says to do and when we are all finally Saved we will know where He came from and we won't need to ask Him. That will be the ultimate revenge of the Lord over the Devil who has corrupted most things that the Lord made. Be one of the Very Elect and then one day you will join us on the way up. Now if you don't want to do that, the Lord will not help you. On the subject of the unanswerable question, The Lord can answer any question and so will anyone be able to when they are ultimately Saved. It will be an Omni-present, Omni-Scient and Omni-powerful sort of existence. The Lord will give that power to the few who shall be ultimately Saved. With regard to these not being easy questions I agree. They force each of us to face facts which are not so easy to understand. As the Lord says we see through a glass darkly. Even the Christians see very little of what the Lord has done because we can't contain it in our physical bodies.
That is why it has to be a Spiritual experience because that gives us the ability to understand. I am glad you mention religion and myth in the one sentence though because they are both of them the way man worships the Lord. Man joins a religion and believes their myths which entrap man in a worse situation than they we're in before. Now how to do this is simple. All we as a race have to do is Repent, Be Baptised and the Lord will fill us with the Holy Ghost. When we have that experience we can understand things that the Lord wants to teach us. My name is Craig Abernethie and I belong to the Revival Fellowship in Australia for the last 35y2m and 13days since I did what the Lord asked. Feel free to Google us and, hopefully, see you on the way up.
What utter garbage the whole global warming/ ClimateChange/Pollution it all is. Carbon Dioxide has never been proven to do anything on a worldwide basis. I know so-called Scientists need something to do but can't they pick something else to research? It is a total fallacy to blame CO2 for the world's disparate Climate related changes. Just another way to RIP US ALL OFF. The planet hasn't warmed in about 17 years and the Oceans are not absorbing enough to prove that and there is no hotspot in the upper atmosphere. So don't come at us with your crap and BTW, what are you smoking? My name is Craig Abernethie.
You will get to see how the World will cope when the Fiscal System collapses under the weight of Debt very soon Jythie. Only a matter of time till China and it's "alternative" G-8 (of Currencies) make the U.S. Dollar redundant. Then anyone not their friends will feel the Wrath of China! Then the real heroes will emerge when everybody is starving in the streets. After the Lord did feed the 4,000 and the 5,000 in 2 seperate miracles. YMMV.
The simple answer to the whole "problem???!!!" of whether or not to get Solar installed anywhere
is whether or not you can afford it! If the FedGuv has to subsidise it that is probably not good
because the FedGuv already owes enough money NOW and really can't afford any more debt. Straw that
breaks the Camel's back and all that. Fortunately, I have a best friend who has a Diploma in Elec-
tronic Engineering for the maintenance of such a system. Bye Y'all.
@iCEBaLM, If we spend money we don't have we are doing future generations a disservice by creating debt for them to payback. If we spend money we do have (increased taxes or charges) we are ripping off the populace now and the poor will have to choose between food or rent or electricity and that is not fair. It is all beside the point because the whole country owes so much in TOTAL (fed guv debt is nowhere near it at all) that we will never pay it off. So probably the best thing to do is leave us to be in peace and just get on with your life. I believe the total debt of Australia to be about $3-4 Trillion at this time. That is Fed. Guv. Debt + State Guv. Debt + Local Guv. Debt + small, medium and large Business Debt (which they use to lower their taxes) + personal debt of every man, woman and child!
At least my debt's are way below the Average per Capita. My wife has no debt at all. The problem with debts is they have to be paid back sometime and that interferes with "the business cycle". That gives rise to the ups and downs in the economy and therefore Unemployment. That is the real killer of any growing Economy, Unemployment and even UnderEmployment. It means that not every person is contributing equally. So just get on with your life and don't bother the rest of us with silly, pie in the sky notions cooked up by so-called Science and their practitioners. All this is irrelevant because in the next 10 years we are going to have such a financial meltdown and probably much earlier than that. When the USA and Europe can't pay their debts, it will look like the whole world is ending and it is going to happen. Better stock up on food while it's available in quantity. Set aside a bedroom full and you should last at least a few years on Cans of Beans and vegetables.
Science is probably wrong in this case, just as it has been wrong about many things. Greenies infiltrate many places of influence and can thus try to dupe the rest of us. We, the common people of the world, just want to be able to live in relative safety, harmony and wealth. If society made laws based on these Tenets, we would have a world or at least several countries where life would be so good they would be examples to the rest of us. Now, where are they? Are they any of the Communist based countries, I would say not. How about Europe, can't see anything there really. America? I don't think so with all the conflict there. How about Australia?
Yes I think we have it. Low debt (and scheduled to get lower eventually), reasonable wealth per capita (and could go higher), Stable land mass (very few major Earthquakes). A reasonably smart (not smarmy) population and good social security system to look after the needy. Reasonable education and health systems to look after those sections of the Economy. Now all we need is a larger population to develop the country and it would be Utopia (only kidding). What we don't need are nutcases spouting on about something the majority of us don't believe is true. We don't need the liars who want to feather their own nests at the expense of all the rest of us. So we truly are "The Lucky Country".
Here, here Bogjobber, you've got it right in One. You can have Gnu without Linux but you can't have Linux without Gnu.
RMS did start the revolution off and Software has been Free ever since. Only those out to hijack his work are the
complainers! Anyone can be a mongrel when his creation is being maligned by all sorts of nobody's who don't share the
same ideals as the original creator. Linus'es ravings are legendary in that regard. Even the term open source means that
Software isn't necessarily Free and therefore when anyone mentions open source I steer clear of them because they will
never understand Free Software. Thank goodness for the 95% who don't whinge and carry on like wounded bulls. BTW,
Debian works just fine on my Laptop. Don't let Mongrel Dogs get you down with all their howling!
I do not like Centralized Guv! Generally the left side of politics spend too much on their promises and tenets and policies
and the right spend less and interfere less. I live in Australia though, so over here it's a little easier to discern. The Republicans
in America seem to be the exception that proves the rule however. They spend too much as well as adopt some leftist policies
so they are more Centrist or Centre-Left rather than Rightist. I hope that I can make enough money to escape all this when the
gravy train explodes. Have fun take care People.
Yes he is certainly in hot water with the Board no doubt for espousing a personal opine.
I am free to answer on his behalf though, some people do take offence at certain comments
by their elders. That's mistake no.1, we are all Sinners no matter what we do until we
become Spiritual. The path of life is strewn with many potholes and that's why the Lord
said "honour your father and mother", because well you know why. We need guidance
from the Bible, from our Parents, from the Spirit and from the Lord because it will not be
easy to get to Heaven despite the ease of life now.
We are all going to feel the effects of a worldwide financial crash within a decade from now and
we will not escape it. Only the Lord's people will have the power to feed the 4 or 5 thousand as
happened in the Bible. It is not going to be pretty at that time. Bands of Street Thugs going
around burning houses to get inside and all the food. Then Christians will be the one's who
learn humility and converting people to the Lord. Then the Lord shall return and the faithful
one's will have eternal life as Spiritual Beings and the Unfaithful to somewhere else. You
have been warned by a truth-telling Christian. P.S. Get plenty of cans of mixed veges +
red kidney beans + baked beans + 4 bean mix. Also pans and a gas burner to cook them
with. About 5,000 cans might be enough to last 7y. HTRH and HFTC All.
Absolute Rubbish this Global Warming or CC whatever. Where has the warming been for the last 15 or more years?
It's just a plot to restrict, rip-off and also no doubt punish the poorer nations of the world. I've some news for everybody,
we are heading towards a cataclysmic meltdown of the World Economy caused by, you guessed it, Profligate Governments
all around the World spending money they don't have on things WE don't need!! With all the QE going on around the place,
all currencies will be worthless soon (I reckon within 10 years tops but perhaps 5) and if the Currency is worthless so is the
Country.
Till a couple of years ago, I had no idea of the precariousness of the World Economy. When the Asians "deal" with the U.S.A.
for their stupidity, Lord help us all. There might be a basket of Currencies to trade with but the Debt will remain and when the
U.S. defaults, no-one will escape. International Trade will collapse and we will all be suffering. There is not enough money in the
World to get rid of the debt's that every Country has. That will make Global Warming seem like a drop in the bucket. All the Lies,
Damn Lies and Statistics will come to be revealed as just so much Hot-Air. There will be Anarchy on the streets with roving bands
of street thugs burning everything in sight in an effort to feed themselves.
Global emissions will then crash because no-one will be using electricity, keeping the Greenies happy but making the rest of us
Very Sad. All in all you lot will need the Christians to replicate the feats of Jesus when he fed the 4,000 and again the 5,000 when
they were an hungred. I am a Christian and know that the Bible (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) has already predicted
the end of this World. Fortunately, we can all receive the Holy Spirit and speak in other Tongues as evidence that we are saved and
that we can become Spiritual rather than Carnal. Enjoy your life, such as is left of it.
It's not just Linus' Project. It was Richard M Stallman who first made Free Software in the "Linux" context. It's also called Gnu/Linux
because RMS made the tools and Linus just did the Kernel. One without the other is useless.
We should just take what they give us, Serve the Lord and be walking in the Holy Spirit
/. will
until He returns. That is the whole duty of Man because the Devil is more than ever now
in control of this Planet and he will undermine every thing we hold sacred in years past
in the name of terrorism. All this stuff happening right now and in the future is just an
effort to get us riled up and rebellious and hateful about what is happening and that plays
straight into Satan's hands.
The bible says that this sort of thing will happen in the last days because Man will be
deceived by Satan and he will be fearful of his own shadow. Not that anyone on
believe what I say because most of you don't believe. To each his own of course. MMW.
It's the lack of Minerals in the soil that is the major problem. The Fruits and Veges we as a society grow can only take from the ground what is in it. The Scientists also are some of the problem and the food companies are as well. As for a solution, it is simple although not necessarily easy. Let a patch of land lie fallow for a year. Divide the Farm into 7 areas and plant all 7 areas with your crops.
After 2 years empty the 7th plot and leave fallow for a year. After 3 years transplant crop 1 into the 7th plot. Then every year, put the crop that is in the plot next to the fallow 1 into the first plot. eg. crop 2 into plot 1 and leave plot 2 fallow. After that, 3 into 2 and leave 3 fallow for a year. Then 4 into 3 and leave 4 fallow. That will give you the best quality Fruits and Veges. The bank might have something to say about that though.
You however can tell them you are following the Biblical method as that guarantees the best Nutrition and Quality every year. The wisdom behind this is it allows the Land to regenerate by the rains coming and the bugs on top of the land to deposit their droppings on top and the worms take it from the top and churn it into the soil. After a year, you plant some crops into that plot and then grow for six years just taking it out after 6 and putting it into the vacant plot.
It is our intensive, overfarming that is the problem. If we take a little time to let the Land rest for a year, we will have less output but the Quality and Nutrition will be better. HTRH.
So which is it Dixie? Are we Denying Global Warming (yes) or are we Denying Climate Change (no).
Get your facts straight, It has not Globally Warmed in 16 years now but the Climate has Changed all that
time. We have never denied Climate Change but the Socialists keep using it as an excuse to drain more
Taxes and do more spending on a non-existent problem. It is a Conspiracy between some so-called Scie-
ntists and voracious Gov's the World over. They want Taxes and we get Monkeys in return.
In this Country (Aus), we have had a series of debacles since the Socialists got in and now we have a large
debt hanging around the neck of every man, woman and child because they got it so wrong. Clean energy
will clean our collective pockets as well. The Fed Gov of Aus know that it is only effective for a small part
of the time each day and it has still to be subsidised so people can afford it. Then they raise the price of
Hot Air with any means possible (carbon dioxide taxes and such) and so that rips off other sections of the
community. So the middle class pay more for Power and Business too and Western Australia as well.
I do live in the Western State and the way we are Put down by the Eastern States is simply ridiculous. We
more than pay our way in this country and we are called rich and then the Fed Gov penalises us any way
they can. All in the name of "equalisation". I'm glad we get the chance to kick them out but hard. The gravy
train is about to be turned off thanks to your Socialist Buddies.
Hi Cenan, hasn't anybody told you? It hasn't Globally Warmed for at least 16 years now no matter what the GCM's say? Where do you get your Bull***t from? Did you read it on the Weet-Bix packet as we say in Aus? Try to do your own research instead of Polluting Fora such as this with your Ignorance. The Socialists will eventually win this War of theirs but not without the Truth coming out in a hard fought battle with the Non-Liars. Most ordinary people will just soldier on with their lives as if nothing has changed and so won't be worried by what is happening. We on the other hand can fight ignorance because we want to have Cheap Energy and not get ripped off by this Socialist Fed Gov in Aus and at least we get the chance to kick them out in a few Months time. Who cares about Nuance anyway, i would rather have a reasoned Mass-debate in the media which they have denied us. So we're forced to come to Blogs like this and put up with all sorts. Marvellous. Also there are no more than usual "extreme" weather events happening and you also have not proven anybody wrong because it's you who is wrong about this. Try not to display your ignorance so arrogantly in the future.
Because of the simplicity of my use of a comp., I can make do with Gnu/Linux very nicely. Web Pages, Text files and simple Games (Aisleriot) are all I need to use to get my work done. In-built things such as DHCP (to get on the net), Cups (to drive my FREE {as in beer} Samsung Black Laser) are all I need. I am a supporter of the Free Software Foundation and Gnu/Linux (for the last 15 years) in particular because it will bring Freedom to many Millions worldwide and that can't be a bad thing. HFTC All.
The models inputters don't have anything like a complete "picture" to input into the Models and therefore the models outputs cannot be trusted. Also which of the models available predicted the current "pause" in the temperature rise please. You put up a good bluff Xyrus (the Virus, ConAir just joking) but fall short on the knowledge and data to make a logical and provable argument. Based on your response, I think you must be on the side of those who take and not those who give.
Agreed hs. We are going to have a bigger problem soon though. Thanks to trying to mitigate this CAGW, many countries are in a lot of Debt and have to borrow to pay their bills. When the money runs out, that will kill 100's of Millions or Billions of people before CAGW get's a look in. Already most people worry more about having employment and money than CAGW. Also the measures for combatting CAGW are very expensive (according to the boffins) for the amount of energy they produce AND they are not capable of providing Baseload Power!! Looks like the Greenies have leapt before they looked. Various Guv's around the World are complicit in this and deserve to be roundly Condemned.
Agreed A.C., but they do want to kill Billions of People and have the Earth to themselves. So no matter what we do we're still in the "firing" line. HFTC.
