I know cities weren't designed with a pandemic in mind -
and that is the problem.
How often do pandemics roll around, bobby?
Please, lets get real. You're up against some 6,000 years of tradition of society...
Again, I'm reminding you how small the Earth has become. How many millions of people have travelled around most of the world in the last 6 months? When has the Earth had 9 billion people with about a million people per square mile in some locations to spread disease around the globe in days? How many Chinese and Indians do you personally know?
Agreed, the Earth has shrunk. Before the pandemic, a quarter of Australia's population was usually travelling. Today? No where near that number. In 12 months? I have no idea. I know quite a few Chinese and Indians, i have no phobias (unlike many here). Do you know any?
I know a few. I went shooting with my friend Joku and the rest of my Sunday school class just yesterday. I know engineers from all over the world through work. I still have friends going to and from China for their jobs. I haven't kept up with their travels in the last 3-4 months, but Texas Instruments still has a factory running a couple of hundred miles from Wuhan. I have a cousin who retired from the Air Force as a linguist. He speaks very fluent Mandarin Chinese. He was best man in my parent's wedding in 1964.
Tell me Tex...Im curious....
Before you and your "Sunday School" mates go shooting...do you all congregate around and give thanx to God
and pray that when you go forth and kill animals that you all hit your targets....
No doubt God has given you all excellent marksmanship skills.....
Or were they learned over the years...
Personally I think its laughable...a bunch of adults attending "Sunday School"...
maybe ignoring ...what was that commandment....thou shalt not kill....and then you all go shooting....
Pardon my mirth.....
Im assuming that when you say "went shooting" you are referring to wild animals...or are you just
shooting jam tins off a post....that would be a bit boring wouldn't it....
Probably more exciting to recite the 23rd psalm to each other.....
I mean...as the psalm says....find peace with the Lord...find a peaceful place....
Then go and kill some animals.....
To discover those who rule over you, first discover those who you cannot criticize...Voltaire
Its coming...the rest of the world versus islam....or is it here already...
