the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH another 116 lines of troll**** -- Another typical retarded "conversation" between the Scottish ****** and senile Ozzietard: Birdbrain: "Horse **** doesn't stink." Senile Rot: "It does if you roll in it." Birdbrain: "I've never worked out why, I assumed it was maybe meateaters that made stinky ****, but then why does vegetarian human **** stink? Is it just the fact that we're capable of digesting meat?" Senile Rot: "Nope, some cow **** stinks too." Message-ID: |

the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH troll**** -- Yet another TYPICAL retarded "conversation" between sociopath Rot and sociopath Birdbrain from August 26th: Birdbrain: "I have one head but 5 fingers." Senile Rot: "Obvious lie. You hairy legged cross dressers are so inbred that you all have two heads." Birdbrain: "You're the one that likes hairy legs remember?" Senile Rot: "The problem isnt the hairy legs, it's the gross inbreeding that produces two headed unemployables like you." Birdbrain: "So why did you mention hairy legs?" Senile Rot: "Because that's what those who arent actually stupid enough to shave their legs have." Birdbrain: "You only have hairy legs if both of the following are true: 1) You're quite far back on the evolutionary scale. 2) You haven't learned what a razor is for." Senile Rot: "Only a terminal ****wit or a woman shaves their legs." Birdbrain: "There is literally zero point in having hair all over your body." Senile Rot: "There is even less point in wasting your time changing what you are born with." MID: |

It's the wimps that make silly regulations forbidding people from just getting on with what they're doing. I ignore those too. Sometimes they get into laws I ignore those too. Until you get fined. I don't. Then you're lucky. I get fined for not wearing a seatbelt. and prevent things from running smoothly. In fact if there were no health and softy regulations, I bet you most companies would make a much bigger profit, and the cost of products would plummet everywhere. Nope, because china isnt stupid enough to have them. Which is why they're doing better than the rest of the world. Nope, they have much lower labour costs. Because of our other bull**** legislation about minimum wage. Hang on, isn't it about 3am in Australia? Ignore that last remark, I thought you'd only just posted it. |

I just bought 2 bags of seed for my parrots. Each one is 12.75kg. I picked both up at once and carried them easily, yet each ONE says on the back, "it is recommended two people carry this bag together". I find it very hard to believe I'm 4 times stronger than the average person. For the metric impaired, that is 28 pounds American. When I was 13 I worked in a grocery store after school and moved 50# bags of sugar and potatoes. Probably most of us at that age could. I don't have parrots but a few weeks ago I bought a 50# bag of sunflower seeds for the wild birds, slung it over my shoulder, grabbed a box of suet blocks with my other hand, checked out, and headed for the car. fwiw I haven't seen 13 in many decades. You're lucky you weren't jailed for endangering yourself. No one gets jailed for that. Won't be long the way health and softy's going. Bull****. Have you not noticed the wimps are taking over? No wimps have taken over anything to do with me. It's the wimps that put these silly safety notices on everything. I ignore them. I don't follow the instructions they give, but I can't ignore something trying to tell me to do something I don't want to. I don't bother to read the sack at all. You might be looking for other info, like how many kilos are you getting for your money, I know that from the size of the sack. Not accurate enough Plenty accurate enough when its obvious if it's a 5KG sack, a 10KG sack and 12.5KG sack etc. If it isnt obvious you are free to look at the label. you're comparing two similar products, especially if they aren't in the same shop or are online. You are free to use the cost per KG that's listed. what type of seed is it etc. Normally in much bigger letters. I don't bother to read the fine print like which country it comes from and warnings that those who are allergic to seeds shouldn't eat the parrot seed. I don't normally even check if its fit for human consumption because the stuff that's meant for pets usually has a picture of a pet on the container. If it won't kill a pet it won't kill a human. That's bull****. There is quite a bit of stuff that wont kill a pet but will kill a human. Why would we be more fragile than them? We evolved that way. For example I just bought some specific sunflowers with extra nutritionwith different oils in them. Sure, but there is no need to read everything on the sack to see that info. Its listed separately and one of the knacks with speed reading is being able to read the right bit of text that has the info you want in it. Still annoying to sift through the health and softy info. Only for those who are stupidly too easily annoyed. For example a speed limit sign doesn't make me go at the speed limit, but it still ****es me off that someone wants me to obey it. That's different, you can be fined when you ignore it. You can't with the **** on the sack that suggest you use two people to carry it. And plenty are silly enough to touch what is claimed to be wet paint. It's still annoying being told to do something. You arent being told to do something with a wet paint sign, just warned that its not a great idea to sit or lean on it. It's being told, but I can ignore it. I still waste time reading it. Not a waste of time if you would have sat on it or leant on it. It's the wimps that make silly regulations forbidding people from just getting on with what they're doing. I ignore those too. Sometimes they get into laws I ignore those too. Until you get fined. I don't. Then you're lucky. Nope, I have a clue. I get fined for not wearing a seatbelt. Yes, you actually are that stupid. and prevent things from running smoothly. In fact if there were no health and softy regulations, I bet you most companies would make a much bigger profit, and the cost of products would plummet everywhere. Nope, because china isnt stupid enough to have them. Which is why they're doing better than the rest of the world. Nope, they have much lower labour costs.

Lonely Psychotic Senile Ozzie Troll Alert! LOL
On Thu, 20 Dec 2018 12:21:29 +1100, cantankerous trolling geezer Rot Speed,
the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again: FLUSH another 226 lines of the usual absolutely idiotic bull**** unread again -- Java Jive to senile Rot: You're getting there, it's clear that you've now reached the level of "Nyah nyah nanyah nyah!", but surely you can be even more juvenile than that?
