Re: Who wants to join...? Not me!

Quotes from posts allegedly made by 'randolf_scott'

"...Who wants to join my prayer group to pray for the bird flu to wipe
out 96% of the world's population?.."

Q. Do you intend being part of the 96% death toll, or do you see
yourself as being above such 'commonness' as dying?

Q. Are you a wannabee 'Death Cult' leader?

"...I don't need people to supply me with much of anything..."

I find that hard to believe... You needed at least 2 people to
provide the initial DNA< and then how many people after that just to
grow up, and get enough education to use the Internet (and how many
people to provide the infrastructure needed for all that?)

"...I don't need oil/fuel aside from firewood..."

Q. And you get the firewood you DO need from where? Have you got a
forest nearby to supply 'environmentally sustainable' harvesting on an
ongoing basis?

"...Oil is for pussies who can't walk or bike their way around..."

Oil and oil derivatives (Google petrochemicals) is also for synthetic
fabrics, plastics, 'food grade' containers, fertiliser, pesticide,
herbicide, paint, adhesives, medications, medical supplies, fuel and
lubrication for farm machinery (tractors, harvesters, water pumps,
power generators, etc). etc, etc. Then there's all the stuff MADE by
machines that use oil, like tools, food, etc, etc.

Q. You use NONE of the above?

"...Supply lines transmit disease..."

Yes, and they also transmit medicine, information, food and vital
supplies in times of crisis, not to mention 'farm aid' during droughts
and floods...

"...I grew up on a farm. I can prepare soil, plant, weed, harvest,
milk the cow, slaughter the pig and goat, and play the guitar."

Q. You do all that with your bare hands without the need for any tools
or machines? If not, where do you get your tools (metal or otherwise)
and machines from?

Q. When preparing the soil, do you use fertiliser, or are you on
really good soil that doesn't need artificial fertiliser to sustain
crop yields? Do you use 'Terra Preta'?

Q. It's good to have livestock skills, so tell us, where do you get
your initial livestock holdings from? What 'animal husbandry'
techniques do you use to prevent 'inbreeding'?

Q. You can play the guitar? Can you MAKE a guitar yourself? You can?
What tools do you use? Where'd you get them from?

"...I also know how to make home made antiseptic..."

Q. Great! Where did you learn that? From other people, a book, the
internet, or did you discover it all on your own? And why would you
need to know that in the first place (see below for a hint).

"...Antibiotics are found in nature if you know where to look..."

Q. They are? How'd you find that out?

"...Viruses are moot point if you keep your distance form
strangers..."

Q. Do you consider your own livestock to be 'strangers'? What about
wild animals and wild birds? Is Bubonic Plague 'endemic' in your
locality? What about Rabies, West Nile Virus, Malaria, Dengue, Ross
River Fever, Encephalitis, Norovirus, Cholera, etc...

Q. What about your water supply, any nasties (viral or otherwise)
there?

"...I'm pretty self sufficent. Hard work is a way of life on the
farm. We
produce everything we need..."

Q. What about the rain? If you're using bore water, how far down is
the salt water table?

"...Don't need people to take care of us..."

Q. So, no need for Doctors, Nurses, Hospitals, and Midwives then?

"...Sure, I'll lend anything and everything I have to a good
neighbor..."

Q. Would they do the same for you if they knew of your 'crusade'?

"...but I draw the line at a welfare system to keep alive a bunch of
petty maggots who take no initiative..."

Gee 'Randall', what answer would you give if someone asked YOU that,
in light of the above questions? Especially if you were 'doing it
tough' due to drought, bushfires, etc?

I suspect you may be a 'Troll'...
