Many more videos out there of their meat markets. Also videos that have managed to get out of China of their authorities welding shut doors of apartment blocks to force people into isolation, gestapo like forced removal of civilians who are herded into vans & buses, off to christ know where and what fate they'll meet, beating of civilians on streets and inside apartment blocks for breaching their isolation rules.
But hey, mainstream media will pick on Trump for pronouncing a word wrong.
No thanks.

I have Rescued Greyhounds.

I'd have more if could afford it but as a single Dad (don't see daughter, pay maintenance as my daughter deserves it) and you are right.

Trump is an idiot but nothing compared to these borderline cannibals in China and similar. They can **** right off and we should as society call these f...w...s out. Enough.

Certain photos I've seen will keep me up of a night - dogs in cages with tails waging like going somewhere happy - as I love and rescue animals where ever possible.

It's not good enough.

Obviously I was naive to it as never been there.

But these *wits have a screw loose thinking that butchering, cruely treating and then eating animals like this is ok.

I'm upset. And disgusted in humanity. They can get ******.
Not only in China either,Plenty of the same sort of "wet markets" in Vietnam Too. (or at least there was a few years ago)..

Can everyone please take a deep breath and calm down please.

I'm a member of several forums, and no, not the one mentioned above. This would have to be one of the very few forums that have allowed this topic to be discussed as openly as it has been.

Please don't wreck that by abusing each other and backing the mods into a corner and having to lock the thread.

I understand phrases like “isolate together” were trending over a week ago on dating apps.

Traffic this afternoon in Western Sydney suggests people are done playing cubbyhouses. It wasn’t much different to pre-pandemic levels.

Saw a similar attitude in the local supermarket. A couple of late 20’s South Americans just basically pushed in front while I was choosing something off a shelf. I politely reminded them of the regulations regarding separation. I’m sure they understood my subtle message but I doubt a single stuff was given, little princess had her nose up stuck up higher than a miniature poodle sniffing a Great Danes butt.

They shouldn't be even considering working but unfortunately it's not law, it's 'guidelines' and they're behaving as such.

Keep in mind it's mostly Chinese visa scams sending tax free money back home with these unlicensed 'massage parlours' that have sprung up everywhere.

Come over, claim that refugee visa, they're granted the processing time here until they prove its a false claim which takes years then work illegally and send all the cash back home.

The rules of engagement for retail seem to change by the day.

On the weekend, Woolies packed your bags at the manned terminals. Now you pack your own. Front of store has Subcontinentals telling you off for taking a basket from the wrong pile.

Bunnings have opened up the store entries, removing barriers/rails. A (effectively almost useless) security guard is inside the store near the large opening.

The Aldi I visited had an Islander out front, about time as the local houso kids have milked the place for years.

Everywhere was quite busy, this is west of Epping Rd. The other side of it seems to be more aligned with the official requests to stay home etc.

After hearing my mums thoughts on the current limitations and how most her friends are over 70 so are now house bound. My mum is under 70 so can still take herself for walks and such, but nothing social. I decided to call my ex wifes mum to just see how my kid is copping with the remote learning and not being able to see his mates etc. My kids fine, hes of the generation who consider google a friend. My ex mother in law is sort of blowing up that she is fine but as shes in early 70s cant leave the house. I actually spoke to her for a while about this and that. We still get along fine, but i kind of got the impression that the phone ringing was ine of the most exciting things to happen that day. So you kind of have to look after your old ones so they stay sane i guess. So i called my mum and asked if she could go over to visit my ex mother in law and kid for a cuppa or something, they are still friends, but maybe take something to change things up a bit. That actually got my mum excited as now she had something to do, she had a heap of lemons, so she has baked a lemon tart.

I never expected to agree with the incumbent American President on anything much, but his (ascribed, paraphrased) comments that “we can’t let the cure be worse than the illness” now seem like fair cop. I further, absolutely expect the Draconian new rules for containment in NSW to be breached with impunity by the wealthy and priveleged.

The old man spoke to Nonna last night whose 89 - she says that everyone should be allowed to do what they need to do.

Then when told it was specifically to protect people like her, she replied 'Well, I have to die someday'

She's a fierce 4'8" Italian woman who went through WWII as a child/teen, when she's not threatening to kill people who annoy her in broken English she has a full time gig talking about how her foot hurts, her veggie garden, things that happened 50 years ago and acting tough as nails

That whole generation.

I remember in the 80's the fire department coming out to thank my grandmother for clearing the bush back from her back fence. All 4'10" of her had laid waste to about 400sqm of trees undergrowth etc. Just for something to do. Her twin sister nearly got gaoled in her late 80's for taking out some AH social workers who came in her house and wouldn't leave when she told them to. Assault with a deadly weapon...

Tough as nails, can't kill 'em with a sharp axe. Well stuff killed them eventually...

That made me laugh, also a good reason not to have much confidence in people with letters after there name, who seem to be making a lot of important decisions lately.

Just saw a guy not wash his hands (Woolies doesn't require it at my store) then touched pretty every piece of fruit in the Market to examine before deciding on a few items for his basket.

Deadset these safety/risk measures mean nothing so long as this stupidity continues.
