    I can't think of that one off-hand. I do remember one about a deer admiring it's antlers in the reflection of a pool while lamenting his skinny, ungainly legs. Then a pack of wolves come by, deer runs away, antlers get tangled in brush, wolves eat deer but leave legs and antlers...

    fox loses its beautiful tail. spends the rest of its life telling other foxes to cut off their tails-claiming tails are worthless. the moral of the story is MISERY CRAVES COMPANY. people who are treated like irresponsible children by their nanny state government, hate the fact we have freedom

    It happens sometimes cottontail rabbit hunting in the snow. A hare can go over snow like an Artic Cat sled, but the cottontail rabbit has to burrow under it. Many a time I have had a cottontail come popping out of a tunnel through knee high snow less then two yards away from me. They can hardly run in the deep snow, and the springs in a bunny's legs are its primary means of defense.

    Like an Aussie in the snow- defenseless.

    We, [Aussies] don't have powerful entities such as the US's NRA, we have kittens, you know, the 'P' word.

    Perhaps a lesson for the yanks? All they need to do is convince their school shooters to take two shots at the exterior of the school then piss off without going inside.

    With some strong physical security that is exactly what could happen.

    The Nashville shooter would have never gotten inside the building if there had been bullet resistant glass installed.

    Georgia was a place debtors were sent as indentured servants who worked their debt off, yes. The entire state wasn't a penal colony, they just had debtors sent there.

    Contrast that with the land down under:

    Your entire nation was a prison o wise and learned one. Filled with criminals, cast offs, reprobates, etc.

    Or, and I know this is crazy talk, we could stop the trend of having ground level walls made out of glass. Resistant or not.

    :roll:

    The real problem with the American right is the tendency to believe in bulltwang. We had “hotel quarantine” for overseas arrivals and the NT which has a large and very vulnerable native population had a converted mining camp - you know small “dongas” that are fully self contained? Each one had a little patio and fully equipped kitchen and toilet and you stayed for only 2 weeks - I think the camp even had a swimming pool…..,,

    A communal bath at a quarantine facility?

    That's not sweetening the deal.

    And was one allowed to voluntarily remain where one was in private? Or was one forced to attend?
    If one wished to leave this TOTALLY NOT A CAMP ;) what would occur? Would nice men with guns take action?

    NT = Northern Territory

    Google it. And you will probably see the phrase “hotter than a shearer’s armpit”

    Ah ah ah!
    Don't think such an amateurish attempt at deflection goes unnoticed.

    Let's give you another shot to be intellectually honest:

    Was one allowed to voluntarily remain where one was in private? Or was one forced to attend?
    If one wished to leave this TOTALLY NOT A CAMP ;) what would occur? Would nice men with guns take action?

    Ever notice how America's gun grabbers want to send men with guns to take guns from other men?

    It's preposterous! The left will always do what The Man with a gun says, not because they are an armed representative of the state, but solely because they are a representative of the state.

    The United States doesn't have "quarantine laws". If we did, the COVID rules wouldn't have been indicted via executive order.

    "Australian police have arrested three people who broke out of a Covid quarantine compound in the middle of the night.
    The Howard Springs centre near Darwin in the Northern Territory is one of Australia's main quarantine facilities for people returning to the country.
    Police said the trio scaled a fence to break out of the facility.
    Officers found them after a manhunt on Wednesday. All had tested negative to Covid the day before."

    Was that done to justify the creation of the quarantine detention centers, to detain people who don't have covid? I think so.

    Except for the 1.1 million dead that you suffered. A little like the 20,000 per year kids that are shot or killed by gunshot.

    Nice smoke blowing.
