yes kylie,

we came from rural of recent times where we supplied our own water,
that by the way would be a great training ground for many city folk
when yo ahve to wuply and mange your own water. and we had a waterless
composting toilet and i still say if we humans were 1/2 as smart as
what we are intellignet we would be wanting one of them in each home,
the water savings would be mind boggling.


i want one in MY home :-)

meeee
You have my wholehearted agreement on this one len! Especially about our
sterile society....I refused to sterilize every item my children touched
from birth...they ate dirt, grass, dog food, and on one occasion a very
unlucky house spider (that wasn't planned but DS1 seemed to enjoy it) and
they haven't died yet.


that was my thinking too (add dead blowflies, cat kibble etc to that list)
and my kids have always been extremely healthy, so i must be doing
something right ;-)

I did suffer being picked on by my MIL and SIL for
not washing my baby twice a day....we just didnt have the water; a stinky
post-nappy bum didn't kill him, and he's perfectly fine now....not sure
where people got the idea that we can completely eradicate bacteria and
microbes by obsessive disinfecting of everyone and everything, and that
this was a good thing....


agree :-) i do also agree with len that much of it is advertising, which
would aim to send people into a competition over (perceived) cleanliness
(etc), in order to sell products nobody needs. it's really not a
competition anyone would get involved in if they thought about it for 5
minutes. as well as agreeing with len that it's interrelated to other
problems, the real problem is consumption in general.

Lol yay another bad mother allowing her kids to eat germs! Oh, and on the
hygiene side, if the neat freaks are right, me and my sisters should have
died of salmonella, the plague, smallpox, or some other horrible
disease.....

g'day bruce,

we don't flush urine at all here, mine goes into a bucket for the food
trees etc.,.



Another issue is that if there's a lot of women going, the toilet paper
will build up, then there may be other problems with blocked toilets.

I also can't stand the smell, not worried about germs etc, just the
smell. Overnight we don't flush, by morning it doesn't look or smell too
good.

You've probably just gotten used to the smell.


Jen

I will never get used to the smell of women. the perfume just knocks me
out.


I dislike strong perfumes. On men as well....phew!!

Odour is evil. Not a normal biological response to situations containing
important chemicals triggering necessary responses in other

We use cats. It keeps them fit, and they dispose of the flies as well.


hey and extra free protein for the cats 'n all.

Which is ridiculous really. It's not as if the media exist for the good of

yeh they get manipulated into when to go to bed what trashy yankee
sport to watch you name it complete manipulation, reckon aussie may

smarter anyway at least we weren't geographically niave.

Why would we want a north facing building? Turn on the air con.

Did you see the research on the tank water causing cancer etc etc....air
borne chemicals getting into the water via the rain etc etc....um, wouldn't
those airborn chemicals also make it via the rain into our drinking water
dams? And be concentrated with evaporation?


actually i don't think that was research as such just someone jammed a
camera in the face of some young floozie and she ran off at the mouth
like a sewer outfall, i mean if what she says has a modicom of truth
rural people must be dropping like flies, like her male counterpart a
few weeks ago says "he fears a plague of dengy carrying mozzies
because of the influx of rainwater tanks into the suburbs"

no mozzy problem because the tanks are in rural just because they are
in the suburbns and hey? they are going to be the dengy carrying kind
of which there is about 1 or 2 not any of the other kinds that just
want a good suck of red cocktail.

young uninformed uncommonsensable scientist dribbling poop so it can
be recycled for us to drink.

again meeee the gov' manipulating their fear campagne, so if you have
a tank your neighbours are going to picket your place.

With peace and brightest of blessings,

Ezackly. I remember drinking from dams, wells, puddles in rocks, puddles is
the bush, tanks etc and never died. Rural people must be ignorant, if they
knew better they would have curled up and died by now. Quick, someone go
tell them, they're supposed to be dead right now, they're ruining my thesis!
I saw it as the same old 'Lets justify doing whatever the hell we want with
our planet. To hell with sustainability, it's bad for you! Let them drink
Gatorade!'

Which reminds me, remember the civilizations, Ancient India for one, that
had underground tanks that all runoff from roofs/streets etc went into?
That's probably what killed them off. Oh, wait, no it didn't....they're
still using them now! I just look at all the stormwater running down the
drains with great embarrasment at our lack of forward planning ability. Our
civilization is designed to waste, not save.

You could try to tenderise with a hammer while using your other hand to
skewer the said rat. If course being female that will be easy to do.
