Actually Hawker, you completely missed the point. When he used the word "subsistence" he literally meant controlling the food, the water, the shelter, etc. Are you telling me that if you have a strong enough will you don't need to eat or drink any more? I think that was his point exactly. Remove people's ability to feed themselves, and it is only a matter of time before they are weak enough to overpower.

Of course you are correct that lack of food and water makes people easier to overpower physically.  But the Alexander Hamilton quote is: "In the general course of human nature, A power over a man's subsistence amounts to a power over his will." That's simply untrue.

It is not just true, it is a fact. If you withhold subsistence ANYONE will break, be it psychologically or physically, it is reality. Your example is not representative of the statement, because if they truly had control over his subsistence he would be dead in a week. You can keep repeating your statement over and over again like you always do, but it makes it no more factual.

yeah this forum is a trollfest, don't mind them.

The endorsement is not for the flavor of the coffee, but the seller smart guy.

Who is pushing this thing as a small time independent like thing, when it is very obviously not.

But I kinda forgot that you guys love being scammed.

Your right hes totally gonna rip me off shipping me coffee first, and you totally didn't miss the point of me leaving an endorsement.

I can only recommend reading TT's reaction over here and then think over, if he/she will ever find any slogan acceptable....

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=83921.0

"TizzyTazzy - We close every thread."

Ok. That's enough trolling for my part.

If you honestly thought someone was going to post up a slogan I'd like in a matter of days then that is your problem.

Harassing/stalking me on other threads isn't going to get you anywhere.

For those who actually contributed to my threads and this forum community, I'd like to personally thank you. It is very much becoming an embarrassment to support a community that is filled with these types of people who seem to have one goal in mind, which is to bring down, attack, insult, and harass others.

This forum has more sock puppets than Jim Henson. Their very goal is to disintegrate the community. Treat them as such.

IMO your price point is competitive. If you would like some marketing help or graphic design let me know Smiley
BTW any chance I could get some shipped first without using BitMit? I pay all my debts here and have a good rep to prove it. I will also be happy to leave an endorsement once I try it.

Is that 2.5 BTC shipped? If not how much is shipping. I used to use BitBrew but it is over priced now :/

Believe it or not, anyone can opt out of social security...

http://sedm.org/Forms/AvoidingFranch/SSTrustIndenture.pdf

By following those complex instructions anyone can opt out, however neither employers nor the government will recognise the opt-out. Good luck trying though.

Actually once you complete the paperwork they are legally obligated to recognize it. Of course people will find it odd, but that doesn't change the law.

Couple quotes from the documentary:

"Let me issue and control ALL FORMS OF PRODUCTION and I care not who writes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild (1744-1812), founder of the private International Banking House of Rothschild

I fixed that for you to fit the current subject matter better.

armor piercing rounds

AKA: Cop killer's.

One of the only types of ammo that can pierce a cop's bullet proof-vest.

Fun fact I thought I'd share.

A plain old 7.62 x 39 will chew up a standard police vest no problem, even with a steel plate. Less like fact and more like repeating gun control propaganda.

Believe it or not, anyone can opt out of social security. By the nature of the exemption the instructions have a religious lean, don't let that off put you, the info is solid. Before doing this make sure you understand the full ramifications of opting out.

Why don't you just keep paying it so that those not as fortunate as you will have a little bit of something when they can no longer work?

Do you know the basic principle of insurance? Some people mistakenly believe it's so that over time, the amount of insurance premiums you pay will on average equal the amount you might need to cover that rare accident you have. But that's not right. It's so that the few (we don't know who they will be) will be able to deal with that $100,000 claim. It might be you one day.

When you're twenty, nobody knows where you'll be when you're 70. If you're wealthy, great. If not, then at least you'll have a little something from social security.

Do you know how to smooth your equity curve from investing? The method is called diversification. It might be diversification into different assets, or diversification of different investing strategies. The point is to smooth the equity curve, which reduces risk. Social security is a smoothing function, applied in aggregate, to the country's citizens' retirement income.

You may not know this (I suspect you don't), but if there were enough individuals like you who could opt out of social security, then there would probably be a lot of economic problems revolving around the older generation. Actually, I don't just suspect you don't know that. It's blatantly obvious from your post that you don't.

You obviously don't have a clue about the US social security system. First of all it is already paying out more than is coming in since 2010. Second, by the time he retires THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT FOR ANYONE. Additionally they are already talking about taking not just public, but PRIVATE retirement pensions to help pay for "austerity measures". The US government uses social security money as if they own it. They use it to fund other government projects, and to feed their thief crony buddies retiree's money. He worked hard for his pay, he should get to keep every penny if he wants instead of paying it to some bloated bureaucracy infested by fascists and parasites.
