Meow.

And please feel free to run the troll over with a 4wd, and
pour kerosene over any survivors and set them alight.

Freds no troll, just another angry member of the public totally shat with the behaviour of a couple of goons up north. Probably inappropriate to post this to CF/aus.bicycle but.....

Lucky these blokes don't live in Vic, if they did, it would be a no-holds race between Dr Hugh Wirth and yours truly who who get them first.

Sigh. It is worrying. I've met a trickle of would-be
soliders over the decades. Similar outlook and intelligence
to the townsville ones.

Although it doesn't seem much better higher up. Why are they
not considering bringing back the bicycle platoon? Light
wieght, mobile, able to cross all sorts of terrain and carry
a multitude of weapons on their bicycles of trailer.

We could cut defence spending and solve unemployment
overnight {.

He was our vet at one point years ago, when I was a kid.

We (I) decided we would adopt a stray cat that ventured into
our garden. Hugh Wirth gave my Dad a real serve about the
bad condition the cat was in, until my Dad explained that
her bad condition was the reason we rescued her and brought
her to him.

I agree with his ideals, but I think he could do with some
personal skills

Yes, it is. There are over 40,000 news groups. Posting that
sort of thing in this one is trolling, pure and simple.

My point is that ordinary people like you and me will do
bad, wrong things to other ordinary people (or kittens) like
you and me, if they
(ie: we) think they can get away with it.

So: what could we do about this?

Choice is, in short, between: general education to be
ethical humans; or individual reform(if
possible)/punishment.

I think encouraging people to ride bicycles might be a part
of the first choice, for too many (troll!!!) reasons to
mention here.

fr-ethical-d k

ps: I inadvertently rode my bike over a cat, once. I was
momentarily really sad and upset, until I saw it wasn't
apparently hurt at all - like how they can squeeze under
doors, and so on - and it yikes off a little while, then
big hsssssssssssss'd at me. Go cats.

Well not really; I could get away with dragging a cat along
a bitumen road if I did it at night; but thats stupid and
disgusting. Thats what ethics are all about

You maybe, me no, nor would any of the people I call
my friends.
