Given that the muslim population is a majority in many places and vastly outnumber the jews and christians, how come they haven't acted on your purported animus and wiped out the jewish and christian minorities? Are they too lazy to carry out that mission, or are you lying to us?

Black sticky stuff, LOL. It's beef extract and salt I think, but I don't think anyone really knows. A bit like KFC's 7 secret herbs and spices

101 HOUSEHOLD USES FOR VEGEMITE

Vegemite has been in the news this week as the iconic Aussie brand came back to Aussie ownership. Hardly surprising really - it's no secret the rest of the world thinks we're fucking retarded for our love of Vegemite. We get it though - it has a distinctive [read: unappealing] odour, taste and colour that anyone not brought up eating every day for breakfast cannot wrap their head around. Thankfully, for all of you who are culinarily bankrupt, Vegemite is actually so much more than just a tasty condiment. According to the below list it's a must have household cleaning product. No doubt there's a few interesting ideas contained within and it may just work amazingly well but I can't get away from the fact everything you cleaned with it is just going to stink like Vegemite...

CLEANING:
1. Naturally disinfect all surfaces (mix 1 part Vegemite with 1 part water in a spray bottle)
2. Scrub stuck on stains (make a paste with Vegemite and baking soda and scrub with a sponge)
3. Clean your dishwasher (put 1 cup into the bottom of the dishwasher and run it with no dishes inside)
4. In place of rinse aid, fill the dishwasher liquid holder on your dishwasher with Vegemite instead)
5. Clean out your coffee maker (pour 2 c. Vegemite and 1 c. water into the coffee maker and run a full brew cycle. Remove and replace the filter and run 2 cycles of just water)

8. Clean your hands with Vegemite to remove strong onion and garlic odours

Hey Swishy, I do wonder how good Vagina-mite actually cleans white clothing and remove the smudge does it just cover it up with a big black smudge "see stain gone "  LOL

But yeah, the top paragraph says it all. if you weren't brought  up on it, I don't think you will ever really get it. I myself reckon its the ducks guts, but that's just me. Other more inferior taste-budded people of the household.

One past time I enjoy at breakfast use my knife in Vagina-mite first and then bung it in the jam and honey just to spread the taste it really gets the faces frowned on those that don't love it LOL.

Good video. It speaks volumes.

I myself like Bernie Sanders. He appears to have very good intentions.

Based on what I've learned about Price, I don't trust him further than I can throw a stick. In life, I avoid interacting with people of his demeanor.

I can't begin the day without some Vegemite or Marmite on toast. If you feel Vegemite is too salty for your taste, try UK (Unilever) or New Zealand (Sanatarium) Marmite.

BC Mack started a Marmite plant in Canada after he came over. He's rolling in money. He has a Gurkhas workforce that he brought over from Nepal (They has served together in the 2nd King Edward VII's Own Gurkha Rifles). Anyway, do you honestly think his bus mechanic job is what pays for all his Macks? Ask him for a BMT member discount on case quantities.

So, in other words, there's absolutely nothing you can't do with vegemite...nothing.

I think Bernie believes his rederect but I think it's ridiculous. I'm not ready to give up 80-90 percent of my earning to put others through school and pay for other parasitic programs.

From the mid 600's to today the Muslims have been attempting to kill off the Jews. Problem is they can't unite long enough to succeed before in fighting among them occurs. But don't worry you'll get you wish soon. Thanks to Obama and Kerrys deal, Irans first use of nukes will be on Israel followed by hitting the U.S.. Funny most of the attacks in Yardo's post are in Israel, Why?  

As for your name calling, I owe no one but God any explanation of my life especially a progressive shill, but I will give you one. My mother inlaw  is Jewish and born in Palestine in 1937.  Now as you well know under Israels Right of Return Law, we were allowed to move and live there and could have  even been granted citizenship. We went because it was a new democracy of 25 years. My wife and I thought it would be amazing to be in on the start and see what it must have been  like here and the Liberal opinions  and treatment of returning soldiers at that time was another cause to leave.  

If you believe it or not I really don't care, you and your opinion of me mean crap. I've lived life as I wish for over 60 years and had my wife and family do the same with me for 46 years. I only have to explain my choices and actions to my wife and God, not you or anyone else. Call me a liar, my wife and I know what and why we have done and how we have and do live.

I dunno, I think maybe here in the U.S we need a couple of new federal regulations, such as;

* In addition to mercaptan, all natural gas sold in the U.S. shall contain not less than 1 ppm swine blood vapor.  (That will solve the large-scale commercial bakery thing since their ovens are gas fired.)

*  All fertilizers and insecticides used in in crop dusting applications shall contain not less than 1 ppm swine blood extract.  (That will take care of the wheat and produce foodstuffs.)

*  All semi trailers shall be marked to provide notice that said truck/trailer combination may have been previously used for swine products transport despite any statements or certifications to the contrary..

From there I see the problem pretty much going away on its own.

Paul, this is truly amazing to me. I have thought about replying for a day or so but don't wanna start any do gooder BS. But then I thought, stuff em.

You have done something all those years that would have been nervous and exciting all at the same time and been and lived in a place I have always wanted to visit and have a good look at.

I reckon you have done more living than most of us will ever do and I am in awe of people like you and your wife that shift to a strange land, and its not a land like Australia or the US where your future is fairly certain or at least that's the way it appears to me.

One day if I ever get to your part of the world, it would be really interesting to sit down and have yarn about life over there.

Thank you for sharing a small snippet of your life with us.

All plans depend on Gails wishes. She has her plans for two stops, Corregidor and  Cebu in the Philippines. Lots a coin for that detour.     Paul

My Detour was about the same??? 6 days on 2 of the islands in Hawaii on the way home..

Whole deal was about$25k..

She figures $25 or $30K.  I have a good friend from service who moved to Cebu. I would like to stop a Pearl Harbor  and than go from Cali to Chicago on Rte 66. . But that part is probably not going to happen. We did Rte 66 in 1990 in our 1941 Chevy.

If vegemite is allegedly beef extract why do they call it "veg" emite Lol !

So Vegetarians can feel good eating it too!
