It's good on this Thread, there are no PC folks, there is less chance of being "Vaped Out".

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Maybe so,spitty...but don't forget the 'Human Resources' dept.
Having made one film to show how business & commerce couldn't manage without them,I hear they're making another one,specifically to recruit potential settlers to populate those new planets...

'Human Resources II - this time,it's personell'

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Well in the new old days, if you get my meaning, Captain James T. Kirk and his faithful lickarse Mister Spock, did their best to keep the peace in the known universe at that time in the 1960’s, and in true old American style the moral got through and there was always a happy ending, oh if the world were just like that. They can preach all the morals they like now and they just go in one ear and out the other because nobody has any morals anymore, it’s everyone for themselves and to hell with the begrudgers as for as I can see.
No matter how hard the crew of the Enterprise worked at solving the problems there was always another big problem coming up the next week, God they never seemed to get a break.
One thing about that old series, the Enterprise’ was a beautiful looking spaceship, not like the heaps of crap they have in the films today, floating scrap metal yards, they’ll never get to the exoplanets in the likes of them, far too much drag there, give me the sleek elegant silver rockets every time, like the one old Flash Gordon had, our Flash wouldn't be seen dead in the one below,

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

I often catch a small piece of some religious show in the wee hrs of the morn – and they are all basically saying the same thing which is “ believe me I have the truth and it comes from the bible – my version.”

Done a bit of bible studies meself over the years and it would seem that ranging from the old to the new testament we have countless tales of horror and gore – of sexual perversions – remember the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were every perversion and vice existed? And now we see a resurgence of the same in the 21st century.

SO? – I don’t get it – this amazing God created us “let us create man in our own image” he said – well he got that one wrong a bit or he’s is and always has been a defective God?
Then places us here on the only known habituated globe in the whole universe and then said “well get on with it then”
And we’ve been feckin it up ever since and apparently can only redeem ourselves through the blood which absolves all our sins – give me a few pints of that Jimmy!

All I see is a constant tug of war between the bad guys and the good guys and that’s it. And oh by the way we are dropping our shit everywhere on the planet and not cleaning up too well. I hear they now have a plastics problem in the small villages of the Himalayas for Gods sake – well is it for his sake ?

’m fecked if I know!

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Very interesting Gumbud, I have read the bible a few times, and as you say everything is there, it would have been an excellent reference book on the early history of mankind had it not been “Got at” by church and political leaders over the centuries, the bibles we have today are a far cry from the original writings. Every nation, clan, and tribe in the world believes we had some intervention from beings in the heavens, maybe there were some laws laid down on behaviour for mankind and they became twisted to suit the greed of those holding power.
What we need is harmony, but greed rules that out, you sing high and someone else sings higher, greed is built into our nature, sad but true.
Take one harmonous life form on this planet, for example bees, A natural born leader is born to each colony, the Queen, easy recognisable, as are the Drones and workers, they are all happy with their lot and every thing works fine for them with this system of living together, you don’t get one greedy bee trying to stash away all the honey for himself do you?
Now who would like to be Queen?

too right Jembo, it's best to stick to your "Own World", and don't allow any greed in.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

yes! Yes,he is-we all heard'im! [FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!]

However...away from that and continuing the thread;it's been postulated that The Devil Wears Prada. So,no sackcloth and ashes,hmm?
So,even once you pass through the gates of Hades,one-upmanship is in evidence.

But the REAL problem [cop this'un Jem!] will be if Satan starts sporting a syrup.

I reckon there'll be Hell Toupee'!!!!!
