The World has gone Bananas.

#1 Post by AtomKraft » Sun Sep 19, 2021 9:52 pm

Gentlemen.

Science seems to understand everything- from a few milliseconds after the 'Big Bang' to now, but

We can't understand that Men are Men, and Women are Women.
We think we control the climate- But thank God, we don't- if we did we'd probably weaponise it.
We complain about deforestation, but we know CO2 is plant food- surely extra CO2 will encourage forest growth?
We suppress free speech, in the interests of free speech.
We support mass immigration, in the belief that it makes us stronger- although our enemies strength seems to come from their lack of it.

Are we going bananas?

Yes, we have some bananas.


We are in Scotland. We deserve bananas. Westminster owes us bananas.

Here's another story that kinda encapsulates the stupid, one sided society that exists today.
Had this been a white guy, raping and robbing- it'd be all over the BBC and front page news.

Because it's a black gay, nothing.

Bloody Boris. The Tory PM that's leftier than any Labour one.
Renewable energy fails, so the UK Government says we need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
People who can hardly afford their bills told to rip out their gas powered boilers and replace them with what? Heat pumps? And who is to pay?
Petrol powered cars to be banned and replaced with electric ones- at what strain on the grid, and costing how much to make- nobody seems to know or care.

Maybe it's just me, but even after a bit of head scratching- it seems nuts.

And as for AGW. Never before have more idiots been duped by fewer lefty Scienticians.

No bananas, but how about some KFC?

https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-zeal ... llicit-kfc

Two men have been arrested in New Zealand for allegedly attempting to bring a “large amount” of illicit KFC into Auckland, where a lockdown has forced all fast-food outlets to shut their doors. According to The Guardian, the men were attempting to speed away with a trunk full of chicken and coleslaw when they were pulled over by police. Cops said they found at least three buckets of chicken, 10 tubs of coleslaw, and a big stash of fries on the side. Police also found $100,000 in cash and a number of empty ounce bags. Cops posted a photo of the delicious evidence, and a spokesperson said: “The vehicle was searched and police located the cash, alongside empty ounce bags and a large amount of takeaways.” The Guardian reports that the men are expected in court for breaching COVID rules and could face prison for up to six months or a fine of up to $4,000.
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".

At least they have money to pay any fines. :))
One article I read said that they were known gang bangers so maybe they won't get to keep the cash or the KFC. :((

Two questions.
a) Why did she bother to do this?
b) Having blown her claim wide open why did she still post this?

The local Vet here in Waikerie SA would froth at the mouth if she saw that video boing.

She has told me on several occasions that she has no hesitation in reporting to the RSPCA anyone who tries to feed their Dog or Cat a vegetarian diet if they persist in doing so after being warned that it is not appropriate.

And the RSPCA, to their credit, acts almost immediately!

Our dogs enjoy fruit and vegetables, they'll chew up carrots, broccoli, apples (minus the cores) and bananas, but they also get proper dog food too.

Nothing wrong with optional fruit and veggies. Our dogs will often pick-up fruit fallen from the trees and take it to a shady corner for a snack.

The last family I stayed with in India were Vegetarian. The wife went one further, she only ate uncooked vegetables.

They had an 8st vegetarian rottweiler called Katie. Katie was crawling with ticks but to kill the ticks was against their religion. Apparently it they wished to free her of ticks they fed her some herbs from across the road.

When they were out i deticked her. She would just lie there as I removed the from her head including eyelids, and muzzle. I couldn't kill the ticks, just too many. The maid gave me a glass of water to put them in and very clearly approved of my tick removal.

Katie chased the hens!
