Is there something wrong with the concept of Unicorn? (Page 3)

briansmythe: Mabye the Irish Rovers can answer this one
lol

Zanjan: How many fish and whales did Noah take on board? Goes to show how important it is to know how to swim or build a boat. Funny how people ignore warning signs. Ever notice when disaster is about to hit, there's always somebody who refuses to evacuate? Yep, every time!

Alas, for paradise lost and dead civilizations.

guard1tn: biggest mistake was to tell people to stay in place....but they didn't know the stall was happening and deluge would come down in the same area. God allows nature to take place so man can comprehend what it means when something moves heaven and earth.

ASuzette: Biggest mistake was to tell people to stay in place, but they didn't know the stall was happening and deluge would come down in the same area. Unicorn allows nature to take place so man can comprehend what it means when something moves heaven and earth.

ASuzette: In all of the Middle East, there was only one man who had a boat.

chronology: Asuzett, nope, there were numerous boats at the time, but at there usual places practically none of them would have survived. Sailors can after years of sailing handle virtually any but the worst sailing conditions, but no sailors could have navigated the surging currents and unpredictable high wave swells. Virtually every ship on Sea would have been sunk.

The Bible says nothing about any survivors but Noah but genetic research suggests as few as 3000 people survived world wide. Near the summit of even the highest mountain peaks evidence of the Great Flood has been discovered. Probably the reason Noah managed to avoid the devastating kinetic wave impact of the first days of the Flood was because his boat, which was as big as a large merchant ship today, only encountered rising water where it was built.

Zanjan: Noah AND His sons and their wives.........and the animals survived.

It wasn't a planetary physical flood; it was a spiritual flood.....and also a prophecy.

Zanjan: Religious texts are about spiritual realities, not geography. Land floods have always been common. Ask anyone who'd lost everything to a mega flood - their world changed forever. THEY had to start over new, from scratch. The planet didn't.

Think. A physical flood isn't picky; it sweeps away the good and evil alike - people, buildings, trees, treasures and animals. According to legend, this is not what happened. There's only one thing that can be so selective.

History is cyclical - what happened once before can happen again and again. In a simple world, what better analogy is there for life, death, and resurrection if not water? Fire, maybe. Both elements have total cleansing powers.

God didn't say He wouldn't destroy the evil men again; He promised He wouldn't do it the same way again. This is the part that was a prophecy.

ASuzette: A spiritual flood... which killed men, women, children, babies (born and unborn), as well as countless animals. Well, fuck that god!

Long live the Unicorn, who never spiritually committed genocide.

ASuzette: chronology:

// but no sailors could have navigated the surging currents and unpredictable high wave swells.

It was rain, and boats float.

Besides... you and Zannie need compare your stories as yoiu disagree on fundamental issues. I'll wait for the two of you to work on your genocidal fairy tales.

chronology: Susie, I have nothing in common whatsoever with Zan. It was not just rain, you have not looked at any of the data from the Flood era. This conversation is boring to me now so I'll move on.

ASuzette: That's what happens when you lose an argument. I have read the bible. I know what I have read. Good day to you sire.

Zanjan: ASusette: "which killed men, women, children, babies (born and unborn)"

Yep......it was too much for the slackers to handle; they just couldn't keep up. How many today want to obey religious laws? No need for stats - just look around you and you'll see what the majority prefers.

Have you paid attention to what's happening on the street with drugs??? How about what's happening with prescription drug dependents, their babies born addicted to drugs, and serious increase of alcohol-related crimes and deaths? Did you know that most kids in foster homes have some degree of FASD? (birth defect caused to fetus by drinking when pregnant.)

Check out the rising suicide rates; also, the penitentiaries - they're full, there's even killings inside. This is just in the peaceful countries.

Will you tell me that any of those people are spiritually stable? No, they're drowning in their own selfishness and overwhelmed by the rise of a new civilization.

If you don't like history repeating, how do you expect to opt out of it?

deuce916: Talking shit again Zanjan. next you be saying you were there at the time. Your brain refuses to learn what love is. You would defend a murderous creep like that if you had the chance. & you do have the chance to turn your back on violence yet you refuse to.

You are officially condemned to hell.

chronology: Zan, roughly 1 in 4 church goers are dependant on some sort of prescription drugs, are you calling them 'slackers' ? I was listening to how one church worker was addicted to heroin, it eventually killed him. Personally I would not judge the Guy, who knows what his real story is? It does seem harsh Zan to shrug off the suffering of others and say they are 'drowning in selfishness'

Zanjan: Where do you get stats like that? Christian congregations are comprised mostly of the gray hairs; seniors do have legitimate, chronic aches and pains but they're not taking high end narcotics.

A doctor prescribes morphine for traumatic pain, not heroin - it's short term and not taken without supervision. Seems to me, if heroin were prescribed, that would only be to a palliative care patient.

Some dependents had been in long term hospital care with pain management. When the addicted patient has physically recovered well enough, they're moved from an active care facility to a detox facility so they return to life clean. A few don't; by their own volition, they find excuses to continue that floaty feeling on the streets. They're called "addictive personalities", which means, they had addictions prior to their trauma.

Life is harsh. That doesn't mean excuses are acceptable. Most can help themselves without assistance, if they want to, if they have some incentive. I did. We can't help anyone who doesn't want our help.

Tending to an addicted person is a far cry from having one in my personal social circle - they need to have returned to the land of the living for that.

chronology: Very disappointing Zan to hear you hold such opinions. But sadly not surprising.

As I say 'Fate is a chap who does not fight by the Queensberry Rules ' it has a habit of turning around and kicking you in the nutsack. Most people who developed these dependence habits were not intending on a lifestyle if loosing all their money and wellbeing.

It's like the woman I told you about one time whose life changed overnight when she discovered she was illegitimate. She took to drink and drugs after that. Or like the guy who found his kids were not his. After being billyclubed by Fate like that who can blame some one for going off the rails.

Zanjan: Well, I wasn't talking about being in a place I haven't been myself.

Young people live as if they're immortal so, when something under the table is handed to the rebellious for free .....it's tempting. Sure, it's painful to have been a victim of society yet we all get a fair shake sooner or later.

That's how we know when to seize the day - danger stares right at you. Ignore it at your own peril. It's like marriage - a lot easier to get into than out of. Not impossible though.

Both the Public and Media put the onus on the government to solve the druggie problem - highly unrealistic. Well, there IS a way -> Fentanyl. Meanwhile, authorities provide junkies with free narc kits and give them clean, safer places to shoot up. Looks like one is doing something but what a pipe dream!

ASuzette: Chronology, looks like Zan has a low opinion of those affected by drugs.

chronology: It is disappointing , all of us can find ourselves in hard spots, but folks like Zan like to fix the blame not the problem.

ASuzette: Zan has no compassion, only the harsh words of her god, who live sin her own mind and pollutes her thoughts, because she herself is not of pure heart, but sinister and judgemental. Follow Unicorn for Unicorn is the Truth and all will be fine. So say The Unicorn.

deuce916: Couldn't have said it better myself.

Zanjan: Chron: "folks like Zan like to fix the blame not the problem. "

I guess you didn't get the part where I implied there's NO FIX to the drug problem. It's too late for that - it's the end game. Notice how long this has been going on - that could be a clue.

Fact: There were 890 plus deaths due to illicit drug use in B.C. alone this year and, the year isn't out. Half of those were from using opioid fentanyl, and more than half of those who died were over 30 years old. So, it's not like they were born yesterday.

I wont even get into how broadcast the older issue of alcoholism is, a problem that hurts and kills those who don't have anything to do with addiction.

This issue (drugs and alcohol) isn't a fashion trend, confined to a small group and a few opportunists, it's a societal problem - society spawned them. Thus, society must change if it wants to stop producing these horrid results.

chronology: 890 ? so in England and Wales with more than 20 times the population of BC only 3700 people died of all imaginable ilegal drugs last year, but 890 people died in BC so far this year. Folks in BC can party so hard they are bouncing off the walls according to what you are saying Zan.
And folks in London are no party poopers, they had to rip out every shelf and toilet seat in practically all pubs in London because they were dusted in cocain every night. But you are saying almost as many people are dieing each year in BC as in the whole of England and Wales.

All I can think is folks in Canada are partying like true heroes. At one time London had a virtual smog of Cannabis smoke in the streets, all that is gone now, 'Vaping' is how Pot Heads get their kicks nowadays and the Vapes have no smell at all of Pot.

Zanjan: I don't think you realize how geographically small England is - all of it would fit into the southern half of a Western Canadian Province with room to spare. However, I bet England has way more pubs than we do. Mostly, we have liquor stores.

Drug and alcohol abuse isn't defined by population numbers but by accessibility. Illegal drug use is always highest near a port city, especially one that's directly in line with China, a notorious supplier. Addicts aren't using in order to "party"....most are trying to function. It's not wise to inject a hit alone; if it goes south, there's no one to call 911, not that they could get there in time anyway. Do a bubble or hot cap, and death is instant.

Has it ever occurred to you how odd it is for a seller to kill off their customers? Sometimes, it's deliberate - retribution for non-payment or informing.

The point is, people need to be propped up, to kill the pain, to forget their troubles, to feel good. Drugs/ booze is a selfish and dangerous route; it's what they do when the end is near.
