There is no way one can be good in all ramifications even the Pope cannot be seen by all eyes as an upright person not to talk of a whole country like USA in which even for sneezing alone, a lot of interpretations have been given that the country does not even have in mind. Even though I am not going to absolve US from some atrocities as we have read ( maybe it could be mean conspiracy theories} at the same time they cannot be absolved as the last hope democracy and have been the home of various fighters of liberty where their safety cannot be guaranteed back home.

This their mission of self determination of their leaders by citizens of developing country alone for me to see them as not a nation of evil.
Unfortunately it seems to me that the world is getting tougher. Democracy in recent years more and more proves to be ineffective. Look at the consequences of democracy. Breaexit Trump the migrant crisis.

I also don't understand how can you fight death? From the fact that you are afraid or not afraid longer you will live. To live forever in hell or in heaven there is no difference. There is neither one nor the other.

но ему придется Крым вернуть, чтобы не потерять всю Россию.
Как он будет возвращать то, что не его? Крым наш, после того как мы присоединились к РФ, еще и Курилы наши. Профит! А Путин..... ну, Путин и Путин, сколько их еще.
Не думаю. Таких как Путин не так много. И не потому, что он уникальный, а потому что ему осталось не долго и на его век денег хватит. Он сейчас борется за свою жизнь. Остальные не хотят терять, а многие хотят еще и заработать. Чтобы это осуществить нужно будет договариваться с Западом. Тогда и станет вопрос Крыма.

Тут светит уголовная ответственность. А компенсацию Россия все равно выплатит.
Я чет не понял, уголовная ответственность, а компенсацию будет Россия платить?
Порошенко пусть идет по этапу, а Украина будет платить компенсацию, если к тому времени еще будет существовать. Что маловероятно. Дело специально затягивают до того момента, когда Украина сольется, как государство, и потом просто некому будет предъявить претензии на компенсацию. Но в случае если И-Франковская область признает себя правоприемницей Украины, тогда они и заплатят по счетам. Вот и все дела. Ты же не в И-Франковске проживаешь, так что не переживай, тебя лично не коснется.
Нет я не живу на Западной Украине, но был там неоднократно. Я тебе скажу, что в России так жить будут еще не скоро. У нас конечно все грустнее. Мы живем приблизительно так же как и в России, только свободы больше. Именно это и не позволит агитировать за русский мир. России ничего не светит в Украине.

Верховная Рада не питомник нормальных людей! Это скорее кунсткамера. Украинцы сейчас расплачиваются за свои ошибки на выборах. Может в следующий раз будут умнее. Главное, что они понимают что у власти дерьмо. Русские даже сейчас не понимают какое дерьмо у власти в России. Мазохисты наверное.

During the history of humanity there have been wars for various reasons. Religion, race, energy sources etc. Will there be cyber wars for bitcoin under governmental control? The one with the money has the power. Those who want to keep this power will always want to chaos.
What do you think?

That can be only acomplished by governments and big banks buying all of the bitcoin or maybe all out hacking and seizing of the bitcoin, I don't see any other way.
I can't understand why Banks need bitcoins? In addition, all banks to operate on their territory are licensed. If the government is against anything the banks won't do. Why should any government support a foreign economy?.

The safest place would be place where nuclear boomb didnt fall, and radiation didnt reach. If poslible find some place where there is no radiation and with healty soil, where you could seed something and live in peace. But there are more variables, so its discutabile where is the safest place...
If you start a nuclear war the safest place is in a coffin in the cemetery. And less radiation and nothing to lose. But seriously, from radiation to hide you, and then what? I think that if the war is global there is no chance.

Well that is why i said its debatable. It depends from where are you at the moment of nuclear war, or if its was your country that is hit by it, how far was you. Maybe you could get to boat in time with all resurses for trip to australia or new zeland or some other place like that. And about coffin, well if you were hit by huclear blast or cought by radiatio, you wont need coffin so there is that XD .
Why do you think that Australia or New Zealand will not fall out fallout? A nuclear winter? It all depends on the intensity of nuclear conflict. In General, I don't believe that anyone would dare unleash a nuclear war.

I bet you took that idea of limited free will out of nothing.
Personally, I think that before God created the universe, He created an empty space for it that was filled with nothing. Jesus said that with God nothing is impossible, and that is why the creation came into being.



Actually, you are risking your "eternal soul".
No not really. Jesus speaking, John 10:27-30:
Quote from: John 10:27-30
27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and the Father are one.”



By stating that we have limited free will about our faith you are implying god doesn't know what we are going to do about believing him or not.
God has the method for retrieving any knowledge that He wants. However, He doesn't keep all knowledge sitting right in front of His face all the time, just as Jesus set aside a great portion of His power as God when He came to be born of a woman.

When you search the New Testament, you will find places that say that we have free will, and places that express that our faith is held by God and places that say that God hardens the hearts of unbelievers into their faith attitude. Put these things together, and you will start to understand the marvelous thing that God has done in giving us our touch of free will, and yet holding even that in place in us because our weakness is so great that we couldn't do even that little thing alone.



Because if he knew we were going to believe him or not, we wouldn't have free will on this subject. We would be determined on our actions.
Again, it is God who works with our free will to allow us to have faith in Him. He says that we have free will. But He says that He hardens those whom He will harden.



So, you are saying god isn't omniscient. He doesn't know everything.
Not at all. Consider yourself. Perhaps you haven't ridden bicycle in 40 years. But before that you rode it almost everyday. Did you forget how to ride bicycle? Of course not. But you don't think about it, maybe, for years at a time. God has the ability to hide things from Himself.



It might be wise to remove your post, because it's evidence that you are a free thinker.
Well, free will has to do with free thinking. What does that have to do with removing my post?



On other words: that you are an heretic that will (according to main churches) burn in hell.
Everyone makes mistakes - you, me, the churches. Yet we are all forgiven, even though we die in some of those mistakes, if we believe in the salvation of Jesus.



Of course, god knows (according to you, almost) everything, so he already knows you are a heretic and, therefore, you are already so very much nailed...
Now what are you going on about? You need to get into the Bible a little more, and allow the Holy Spirit to work understanding in your mind.



Perhaps, if you repent, remove your post and pray 100 our fathers he will forgive you.

Now you are simply joking around.

Cool
No God didn't create anything. Man when something creates, he controls it. The people of God no longer controls. Or you want to say that God is for war? And if the God does not control man at least his equal.
109  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Space X and the prospects of Mars colonization. on: January 06, 2017, 08:13:37 PM
Space X and the prospects of Mars colonization.

The goal of 1 million inhabitants on Mars is unfeasible. With the Mars Colonial Transporter, at 100 passengers per flight, this would require 10,000 flights only to transport the people.

But the material support is about 10 times more demanding. So, as Elon Musk recognizes, the system would require 110,000 flights (see https://aeon.co/essays/elon-musk-puts-his-case-for-a-multi-planet-civilisation; see his recent presentation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10gECHeMSds).

Even at one flight a day, it would take 301 years. And to be able to make a flight a day, taking in account that the voyage to go and return would take much more than 1 year (during times when Mars is more far away, it would be much longer), he would need 425 reusable spacecrafts. That is beyond the normal resources of any company or country.

Even at 24 flights a year, 110,000 flights would take 4583 years.

To finance the passengers flights, he would need to find 1 million people willing to pay 200,000 USDs to go live permanently on hell. Only the poor would be ready to try their luck, looking for well paid jobs on hell. But they won't have 200,000 USDs.

Musk might find 1 million people willing to go and work there for very good jobs, but someone else would have to pay for the trip and pay them their wages.

Selling tourism trips won't pay the voyages either. I doubt he will be able to find 20 people willing to pay 1 million bucks to pay the ticket of the other 80 for at least 14 months to go and return from hell, especially after the trip became more common.

It wouldn't be like a month on the Moon or on a tourist space station. With time to wait for the shortest return, it would be about spending more than two years on a living hell.

I don’t see many people eager to go live on Antarctica, the most similar place on Earth.

Therefore, unless there are on Mars very rich minerals, or other very valuable resources, that would pay for the trips (people and resources going to Mars and minerals coming back to Earth), with current technology of space flight, Mars will be dependent on Earth, with a few thousand or, probably, hundreds, of inhabitants.

We'll be a two planets species, but the second planet will end badly if the first planet ends badly too. Only with new technology on flight and energy, Mars will be able to be independent.

The goal of making humankind a dual planet species is very worthy from the perspective of ensuring that we can endure millions of years more.

But normal people, who care first about how to pay their bills, just do what is practical to this goal and hope for the best. They won't ruin their life to go to Mars and ensure some of us will survive on the remote case that a catastrophe strikes Earth.

If massive colonization of Mars isn't economically feasible, it won't happen.

It will be fantastic to humankind in terms of pride and self-esteem to go to Mars and build a permanent station there for investigation and some scarce tourism, but we won't have more than that until we find economic reason to do more.

If Space X is able to send humans to Mars sooner than NASA, even if with NASA cooperation (if NASA figures out that Musk is really going to make it, they will jump on board), Musk will have his deserved place in History, side by side with Von Braun and Korolev (forget about Armstrong, beside courage, he had little merit).
It's a fairy tale. To live there is not possible. First you need to create around the atmosphere of Mars, and it is not possible. Besides the people on Earth live not only because of the atmosphere, but is very greatly influenced by the Moon. Mars has no such satellites.

I think people purchase this mainly because it was written by adolf hitler himself. Interests in the book most likely would be due to curiosity. I myself would like to have a copy and read through it but not because I agree with hitler or to look for something to agree on with the book, but simply to know about it's contents.

Those were my thoughts too, since it's been a year now since the book got republished. and this is, as much as I've understood, a special edition (whatever that meant). I'm not for the rise of nazism in todays countries but I am for something to be done, because now countries are losing their identity.
Your thoughts just the contrary. No identity is lost. Just so in the minds of people laid the ideology of fascism. I am sure that you can not explain how it lost identity! Exactly what happens hidden propaganda of fascism!!!

You don't have to renounce your passport. Your passport isn't you. The "person" of your passport is one of your persons. This person isn't you, because you breathe and have flesh and bones; it doesn't. The person of your passport is a tiny representation of you. It isn't you.

Doesn't matter much. If you don't renounce your passport, then the IRS will come after you and take away all your savings. Why risk that, when you can renounce your citizenship in a matter of few days?
Stop to amuse people! Who in their right mind would refuse a us passport? People will remain in the country and will live a normal life and work. If Trump is not like you need to enter the rallies and adjust his actions. Better to let it leave the States!

You rape anyone, you do not deserve life regardless of who you are or where you reside on this planet.

Well that's another matter ^^

I mean I'm not saying I disagree with you. It's just I'm against death penalty in general but I guess that if I wasn't opposed to it, rape would be a crime that could be punished by it. Especially rape on underage people (I'm not going to say child because it's not exactly a child here).
But again the problem has nothing to do with their origin I completely agree with you! The problem here is that both the thread title and the vast majority of the answers are more or less only about their origins and the fact that they're migrants so they should get killed or deported to their home. So what? It means that if they were Swedish 15months of jail for a rape is ok? For god sake 15 months for a rape!!! I could het in jail for longer just by... I don't know, fucking a sheep I guess! (Would be disgusting but it's a good comparison, it seems better from a juridical point of view to rape a boy than to rape a freaking animal, and even if I'm against animal abuse I'm less against it than against people abuse!)
I do believe that there should not be difference in punishment between the hardness towards animals and humans. Responsibility should be the same. As for these migrants, they in a Swedish prison is better than sitting at home.

I am also an atheist and don't believe in God. Human health depends, first and foremost from himself. The Bible does not prohibit the purchase but this bad habit leads to death. Who is responsible for this?

One of two things. Either you are ignorant and think you are an atheist, or you are a liar. Why? Because an atheists says that there is no God. But no atheist has absolute proof that there is no God. The best he can say is that it isn't apparent to him that there is a God. This means that even the atheist knows that there might be a God. Then, when you add all the evidence and the scientific proofs for God, it seems to even the atheist that God exists.

If the atheist had said, "There might be a God, but we just can't tell," then he would be more truthful. As it is, he is either ignorant or a liar.

Cool
I'm an atheist and I see that in the Bible is just fairy stories. I don't need to be a rocket scientist to see that this is nonsense. Believers deny even what is officially confirmed by scientific studies. This is for me a confirmation that boa no

Set the Bible idea aside for a moment. Look at the existence of God idea.

The definition of atheism from Dictionary.com, http://www.dictionary.com/browse/atheism?s=t:
atheism
[ey-thee-iz-uh m]

noun
1. the doctrine or belief that there is no God.

2. disbelief in the existence of a supreme being or beings.

Evidence and scientific proof for the existence of God:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1054513.msg16803380#msg16803380.

To state that God does not exist goes against a lot of proof and evidence, and against common sense. Why? Nobody knows that God could absolutely not exist in some way... some way that he has not thought of yet. To think this is to say that one has all knowledge in the universe, so that he absolutely can tell, factually, that God does not exist. The ironic thing about this is, for one to have even a majority of the knowledge in the universe, would essentially make him to be a god.

Atheists are ignorant, or liars. There is no other way.

Cool
Atheists are realists. They don't believe in fairy tales and do not like when they are used for their own purposes. All religions are looking for their supporters among the people with disabilities education. These people are becoming fewer so the fight for the minds of believers escalates.

Well, no it does not become impossible.  Just print a bunch of money, then the value of the dollars decrease.  They get paid their welfare payments, it just isn't worth anything.

If something like that happens, then the United States Dollar will lose its position as the world reserve currency. It will be replaced with the Swiss Franc or the Chinese Yuan, or even the Japanese Yen.
That is based on a concept that one moves and the others don't but actually they all move together.

If we devalue, our goods sell cheaper and we sell more of them.  Other countries currency "strong" means their goods are too expensive for the mass markets.

That worked once upon a time for Swiss watches.  But it can't be allowed for Chinese or Russian goods.  The world is an interlocked economy today.
The imbalance in the economy of different countries because each country is trying to provide themselves with goods of own production not to depend on another country. It turns out that a lot of money spent on it to re-invent the wheel.
