PACK OF WIMPS

I've just got back home after being down country for a few days.

I spent last night in Auckland and left first thing this morning on the bus. It was quite cold in Auckland - cold enough to put on that extra layer of clothing BUT WASN'T THAT FUCKING COLD!



Maybe I should put this in context. Sure it was chilly and in fact Auckland had the coldest morning for over 60 years - see:

RECORD COLD IN AUCKLAND

 .... but there was no need to overdo things.

People reportedly stayed home from work and school or carried hot water bottles with them on the way to work . CARRIED HOT WATER BOTTLES ON THE WAY TO WORK!




What kind of people are we breeding nowadays?




I lived in Canada and UK for a while and that was cold - particularly Canada where we had minus 40 degree days. Now that's cold and sure we did have to wear hats, gloves and coats but ,carrying a hot water bottle? Give us a break.

40 degrees C was considered quite warm when I was at Antartica. When the temperature once got that hot, we all took our shirts off and walked around outside.

Well, lucky for you they don't have polar bears in Antarctica otherwise you might have got shot.

So what was the point of the post?
Curmudgeon refers rightly to genetics and the provable trend to genetic atrophy; though I wonder about the use of the term "Breeding" which implies a deliberate attempt to alter the genome!
What they are doing up north reminds me of the Nazi's attempt to create a race a perfect blue eyed white skinned race of perfect people.
Though I could be wrong.

Hey, this time you are right - that is, you are wrong.

So Robert? Have you been ingesting too much CO at work along with other chemicals?
Or, as it's after 5PM are you pissed up from some diabolically horrible wine you bought on special at Pak n Save at under $7?
Or, have you been watching the documentary I recommended to you - 'Einsatzgruppen: The Nazi Death Squads'

re the pointlessness or otherwise of Blog posts - you have an opinion on this? Really?

No statement be it based on reason, God or philosophy can be both right and wrong.
You being an atheist I feel sorry for you as you have no explanation for life or creation be it but from the unreal gods you follow and put your faith in.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes, typical christian bullshit - revert to an assumption that everyone with a conflicting view cannot really be taken seriously because they lack god's guidance.

I feel sorry for you.

I really do.


No, actually I don't give a shit. One day you will wake up dead .... no you won't - you'll be dead and won't wake up. The end.

Finito.

Anyway Robert - not to worry, the 4 Vesta Asteroid that's hurtling towards Earth at present will prove or disprove your theories about god and the angels.

I've been watching it tonight. It's huge - yellow and brighter than Venus. Scary!
