Now I'm confused- one guy thanks Jesus because his career is over and another thanks God for allowing him to win his heat!
Those fellas above work in mysterious ways-

Hobgood, a fixture on the elite ASP Dream Tour for more than a decade, needed to defeat Wright in their Round 3 bout to remain on the ASP World Title Series for 2011, but was gracious in defeat regarding the tough loss.
"At the end of it, I don't want to be known as the 2001 World Champion," Hobgood said. "I want to be known as a guy that loved Jesus and loved everyone and had fun and that's it. It's not a sad day for me.

"I can't believe it," Alves said. "I'm so tired right now after surfing three heats and happy too. I beat Joel Parkinson and Mick Fanning. Thanks to God for everything he has given me. I'm looking for my best result, maybe I'll find it here."

blowin , have I hit a Pedo nerve with you , as your reasoning has become very emotional to the point of personal insults ...hmmm what lurks beneath and in your own history?

" Go ask the boys at a Tennant creek why they insist on fucking two year olds . See if you can weasel out an excuse that it’s because they aren’t living traditional lifestyle anymore and that’s why they’re raping kids.

Got to be white man , not even worth thinking that there could be weirdos in every culture. White man is the devil in the garden of Eden etc etc

I guess you heard of the Stolen generation and the raping of indigenous children ..so your point with Tenant creek can be directly attributed to white mans intervention and subsequent " cleansing and trying to make black people white....while educating them with their white dicks!

and then your most important statement of the decade......."just about had enough of your race baiting though. Why don’t you go mow some foam you silly old fuck ?

Race baiting or vilification ...but I am a clown , not white though , not emotional about religion , as the swillnetters are about race!

Blowin is 100% correct the Intervention was primarily to end child rape.
Those harrowing Truck Stop ordeals that were read out to force Govt Hand.

Aboriginal culture sees child brides marrying Elders as the norm.
Many landscape legends depict daring Warrior's intervention of set weddings.
Very much reads like a scripted Bollywood Plot.
Come the hour our Young lover Handsome Warrior rescues Princess child bride.
Usually his head becomes that Island over there or that Volcano cap.
Moral to young Punkz...respect your pedo Elder or become part of the landscape.

Stories I've read also reveal a telling fact similar to our culture.
That young girls shape as vastly superior athletes...
Meaning girls are shaped to escape the Elder's most athletic tribesman.

I'm describing the durability & adaptability of young female Gymnasts.
Girls knew they can't out run a dingo pack nor out Swim Canoe fleet.

Bundjalung Jugun by Jennifer Hoff story opens eyes to once more athletic race.

Aboriginal elders were still able to toe axe or rope scale a tree in seconds
Warriors of today feint just romancing the mere thought of such hard yards.
It's no longer fair to ask...is it now? Olympic athletes & me all now closer to sloths

Anyhow! A young Aboriginal girl could flee up a tree then possum glide to next .
Then easily scamper & fly to next tree onto next ...3-4 trees in my reading.
She'd wear down the tribes finest warriors,not one nor whole tribe could catch her.
Elder: "Just give up now already...she'll keep!"

Take a look around & see a world of younger females stretching & flexing.
This is survival 101...girls must be ever ready to leap from own window (No Joke)
Note: Most pedo crimes go unreported as family/clan are mostly involved.
My twin sister in her 50's just shared her home child violation..So Sorry Siss!
Just saying it's destroying/separating families everywhere...

Note: North West W.A child sex is the norm as men still practice Mob rule.
Sadly few Australians believe it will ever end...intervention or no intervention.

My issue is that the first twenty or so words of each post appear on the front page of Swellnet. So, for example, someone logs on to check the surf at Anglesea and inadvertently reads something they weren't bargaining for.

I don't care about having the discusssion it's just the somewhat graphic nature of it being foisted onto unprepared people.

I'll jump in here to school sharkman as well, the scourge is found in all races and religions, sadly. I've been lucky enough to read the logs of Bligh's trip to Tahiti, and the prolonged layover on the island. Now I'll place another sentence in here just to make sure it doesn't get on the front page.

Now that this comment has gone beyond the first 20 or so words being read on the front page, it was recorded that the men encountered deflowering of girls at approx age 7, done by one of the manly youths, in front of the whole village. The queen was also serviced by similar youth, apart from taking the King as her lover. Anal sex widespread. Children born with deformities were rafted. If we look as to the composition of Fletcher Christians' party, and what happened after their mutiny (the white men were killed off), and what happens today, can we draw any line of consistency through culture to the happenstance reported on today?

PNG was recorded as having initiation of boys done by men either orally or anally. What happened is definitely not confined to one ethnic group only.

And as a bonus, here's the Royal Navy ending slavery:

Everyone’s got to bottom out somewhere and I’m hoping you’ve hit yours today , Sharkman. You’ve come on here today armed with nothing more than blind predjudice like every bigot before you and let your evil white man fantasy spew forth.

Even the most insubstantial research would reveal that paedophillia is a global problem . Yet you’d rather proudly let your ignorance act as a shield whilst you cast your embarrassing assertions around.

BTW - Loving this line :” blowin , have I hit a Pedo nerve with you , as your reasoning has become very emotional to the point of personal insults ...hmmm what lurks beneath and in your own history?”

You seem to be stoked that you’d upset me as a victim of paedophillia ! Unless you’re accusing me of being a paedo ?! I was lucky enough to not have been molested myself but I know plenty of people who have been and a few of them have been radically affected by it .

You’re basically at the bottom of the human respect line now mate , maybe it’s time to go take a look in the mirror and start again ?

If you’re feeling offended about the connection between church and paedophillia , just remember that being associated with the church is a voluntary decision. That’s the difference between aligning child molestation with a religious organisation and the colour of skin you’re born with . If you want to parade around with a group of lurking weirdos cause you need a crutch for your failing spirit that’s your choice.

When you’re posted up at the steps at Bells this year doing your usual relevance reinforcement dance , be sure to accuse every Caucasian of spreading the paedo virus with their genetics. Theresult would be something that even I’d tune in to watch.

did I call white man evil ,no , you just made that up....bit like the statement about belonging to a church , real gutter stuff , "If you want to parade around with a group of lurking weirdos cause you need a crutch for your failing spirit that’s your choice."...is that what you really think or just trolling back!!

Mate , you suggested that white people invented and popularised paedophillia. I didn’t make that up.

And why not use tennant creek as evidence that non- whites practice child sex abuse ? If you think that anything that occured before a two year old was raped in any way condones , justifies , explains , negates or reduces the responsibility of it then you’re off your head.

Yes I was Just trolling with the church stuff. Of course many good people belong to the church . The kiddie fiddlers don’t own Christianity , just giving you a taste of the broad stroke accusations you like to employ.

Point is that you don’t allocate blame for one of humanities most grievous crimes to a race - my race - without repercussions when you can’t defend it. Which you didn’t even try to do.

You just felt like saying that child molestation was a product of white man’s evil influence.

You can’t be surprised that people would arc up at that ?

Not a bit of difference from someone suggesting that Asians invented murder , Black people conceptualised incest or Indians discovered infanticide.

Ok , I suggested ...yep that's right ......just going on some of todays knowledge and on todays values , pedophilia was accepted in Greek/Roman culture...so does that make those people guilty or are they excused because it was another time , and other culture ?
Yeah you were trolling about the God/church stuff just like I am doing now with whites having a pedo disease.......but when you talk of Tennant creek be very careful of who you blame ,as I have too many mates and their firsthand stories of colonial abuse and the ramifications of the churches/missions had on them, BUT there is also a majority of stories that are good examples , but we humans tend to love the dramatic and like to judge the majority on the minority's behaviour.......I believe the catholic church is not a true representation of christianity , as it has been invaded by the darkness , but that doesn't mean all catholic /priests are evil....

[Warning] [AO] Subject deals with anon abused child Police matter.
Not suitable for children or young adults.(under 18 y/o please do not continue)

SE Qld horror case plays out today so tbb can share only relevant information.
Names/Towns/sites will not be released.

Heinous world of Paedophillia knows no bounds.
Tonight tbb reported to Qld Police of child abuse corpse reborn as porn clickbait.
tbb discussed how easy it was to expose this horror by a simple photo search.

Imagine the horror of school friends doing just that.
Not to mention the guilt trip of Carers,Police & Govt reliving a 2nd abuse of victim?

All I can say it was better anyone than family come across this next level depravity.
I have no doubt Swellnetonians join me in hoping Police shut this down.
We discussed if same perpetrators even posted it...turning court on it's head.

One reason I'm sharing this is to reassure all here that Police have acted promptly.
They were as gut wrenched as me & will deal with matter as urgent as described.
Goes without saying...If you see a child victim being re/abused online call police.

No! Not the first time for tbb...
Neighbour would look after work mate's daughter,even tbb let his son visit.
Yep! He was everyone's friend in plain sight all the while posting Pedo snaps....
No one! No one suspected the Top Bloke! Just as here a friend saw an image online.
Then I quizzed police at length! My son dodged a bullet but poor girl was abused.

Truthfully I first skipped over click image then I thought hell no, not on my watch !
Thankfully being from Qld I recognized the victim & guessed what was going on!
You see they bypassed any tease shots of the girl choosing alluring sweet photo.

That's how click bait works...the innocence is the money shot amongst the filth.
All click on the shiny star to save them from the dead zone. Only girl is also dead!

Sure we we're a bit too late for xxx label but not too late to catch them I reckon.
If no one claims ID the image becomes fodder (Anon) Sex Doll face / xxx cartoon.

I had trouble retracing the site so I visualized the layout & thought it looked familiar.
I had an inkling it was click bait so I retraced it with tail end image search patterns.
Then a whole nest of vipers came to life.(Click translate) Take your pick...xxx...

Child Victims get abused all over again when pedos dig up online child corpses.
Living Dead abused child Porn flix are alive! Just stop them any way you can!

Damn right it made my skin crawl writing this & I'm truly sorry you had to read it!
No need to explain that I shared this horror story as a warning to all.

[ATTENTION] Please think twice before dedicating past child tributes online.
Where your child's images end up you just don't wanna know...It will destroy you!
Do you think Police wish to share above abuse with family...there's your answer!
tbb thanks readers,swellnet & Qld Police who deserve special thanks.

Sadly there is no end to high level excusing or abusing of children.

"Jesus loved the little children of the world"...
MJ & every Priest's excuse- The good Lord's guide to having sex with kidz.

No less gut wrenching as tbb's last post is latest #1 celeb's defence of MJ.

Whole world is sickened by B. Streisand's further abuse of Jacko's victims.

*Tormented kids made it clear they were victims of MJ abuse on EVERY level.

Streisand's jawdroping quote can hardly be taken out of context.
More shockingly exposes the Celeb cover up of Pedos is akin to the church crimes.

#1Celeb is laying down the law...Either shut the fuck up or gloss over it darlings!

In Streisand's own words:
"His sexual needs were his sexual needs,coming from whatever childhood he has or whatever DNA he has.You can say 'molested',but those children, as you heard say they were thrilled to be there.They both married and they both have children,so it didn't kill them!"

Harden the fuck up Celebrity rant comes with obligatory after party apology!
Award winning after party apology raises funds for The Pedo Actors Guild.
Now that would come as no less of a shock!

Attacks on French Christian Churches 2017-878 / 2018 -1063
Attacks on German Christian Churches the same & increase near Muslim enclaves.
The attacks are hateful by origin desecrating,destroying Christian symbols & arson.

Both Germany & France say they can't recall a day without Christian Church Attack.

Arson is increasing with 4 Churches set alight in Germany last Month.
2nd largest Church in Paris on fire last month now France's largest Notre Dame.

Every attack is played down as an accident in fear of sparking an uprising.

For mine the core moral virtues put forward in the Bible are at stark contrast to the actions of the priests committing the crimes. So as is widely pointed out above it is a gross oversimplification and highly ignorant to lay blame on any faction/race/religious denomination. The human condition is what is being disrupted and repressed here and perhaps the solution would be a reassessment of how the affected churches conduct their practice. I would suggest that shame and disgust are the underlying forces perpetuating the problem across generations, how would the church seek to better understand the power of these forces better, where they exist within their borders and help their followers for the better?

No rabbit hole stuff, just shit loads of churches being attacked....I don't think it's self sabotaging pedo priests. Your sounding like the conspiracy theorist, not me.

It's fucken obvious to all but those most in denial what's happening.

Bloody hard for any country to accept one million refugees in one go. Denying the reality of the difficulties isn't going to make it any easier, in fact it's just going to make it worse as resentment builds amongst even the more accepting folk who won't appreciate being lied to by the powers that be.

Germany already has some pretty over the top censorship laws due to paranoia about their nazi past. For other countries to follow these practices would be plain old dumb, but that's what's happening.

Because that is obviously what it appears to be even you would really be thinking that wherever you want to admit it or not.

But yeah there is also a chance it's another group trying to set up muslims and cause more division.

It's either one of those two scenarios

If it was just the odd Church you could also add in just common vandals, but if there is large numbers of these attacks then it's very unlikely.

You can cry 'tin foil hats' all you want, the reality is the information is controlled. This became patently clear when left wing feminists came out crticising the police and media process re, the new years eve rapes in germany. The measures some will go to to control the narrative knows no bounds.

It's insulting to one and all's ntelligence. And, worse, it's doing way more damage to social cohesion than even a token presentation of reality could possibly do.
