I ask the Lord to cast out the spirits of unbelief, into outer darkness, never to return, in the name of jesus christ.
You sound like some guy that thinks he's a wizard. Do you realize how stupid you sound, or does this actually make sense in your head? You are commanded to be silent on this thread, in Jesus Name What better way to prove that prayer doesn't work?  WHAT THE FUCK?  RLOL... |

I may be blind and deaf, but at least I'm not dumb.
I know one thing for sure, that a man who walked the Earth 2000 years ago created a lot of followers of many types and kinds. But he never told followers to be total assholes and jerks in his cause. |

....doesn't mean go live in a bunker with your dog for the next 10 years, but some forethought and planning for possible scenarios is a sound practice. Being prepared doesn't mean living in fear. Most who prepare for setbacks do so for peace of mind because they DO NOT expect to be run over by a car tomorrow.
bunker? How about gaining some basic skills? Machine shop, welding, carpendry, concrete and the segments of engineering behind them. How engines and motors and such work. And there's a lot more to gardening than one might think. A lot of people today are terribly ignorant about the basics. Like, a hobby of building race cars would generate some survivors... |

i have done.. nothing, really. but maybe this thread can be of use to some people who are looking for ideas on what to do in the event of a great economic collapse, which most of us tend to believe is coming within our lifetime.. or even this decade. what are some suggestions? if i were a millionaire, i'd consider it a good investment.
- stockpile some chlorine. in the event of a great economic collapse, clean water will be scarce. you only need a small amount of chlorine to purify water.
- possibly invest in solar panels and renewable energy/resources?
- buy some guns/firearms to protect yourself?
Beer. |

You don't need a central government to ensure that nobody gains too much power, you just need to structure your incentives to make gaining power less valuable. For instance, there are ways to make attempts at gaining more power at others' expense actually be way more constly than gaining power through voluntary trade. Yes, but shooting politicians usually has serious consequences and is still arguably immoral. ... Do raw eggs fit in long range potato guns? Just wondering... |

I am a regular worshipper in a Pagan Sex Cult. ....
Cool. Just to be fair let me ask you too? In your Pag-an cult what do you pay in? Is bitcoin the true and only way to bliss? Or are your faithful mired in the blashphemous, sinful currencies of the past? |

i don't know but our economy is currently going through a liquidity trap.. oddly enough, the value of our currency is only inflating at 2%. it's bad news because it reflects low confidence from the private sector.. and it seems like a viscous cycle. no one is willing to invest because they don't think the economy is going to improve.. and part of that reason is because our fed just continues pumping federal note after federal note.
i just learned about all of this, and i'm in no way an expert.. but to my novice eyes, printing out A LOT of money and having your currency not "inflate enough" (ie: people taking out loans) just ends up pulling a slingshot back farther and farther.. for one explosive event.
Yeah, in the technical economic lingo this is called 'latent inflation'. The effect of printed money is always delayed. The 'stable case' is where economic growth more or less matches pace with the rate of printing. That we never will return to. |

I do not believe in an all-powerful invisible man in the sky.
I am neither blind, nor deaf both of which are obvious to me and the people around me.
Christianity is a patchwork of religions founded by a Jewish rabbi and re-written edited for many years by people who believed in different things.
Let me just say this. People who believe in Christianity are awfully gullible.
The holy bible says you are blind and deaf. The holy bible is more trustworthy than non-believers. The holy bible tells us to be ' WISE AS SERPENTS, BUT HARMLESS AS DOVES' ( not gullible, but seeing and hearing, unlike the non-believers who are blind and deaf) I asked: Now here's the problem I'm addressing to you, just_me, since you seem to wish to post jesus stuff over and over. It would follow that, if you made conversions, they would donate to a church or churches or causes.
This website and to some large degree, the threads have to do with the impact of bitcoin on society. Now, do you have ways that bitcoin can be donated to your causes? If so, let's hear what they are. If not, are you advocating - here - donations in fiat currency?
No beating around the bush please. I'd simply like to know if you are here to create/foster/explain how the important job of donations by the faithful or the newly converted can be done in bitcoin, or whether you are one of the tired old fiat operators and hustlers.
Thanks.Since you choose not to answer it, I am obliged to classify you as one of the tired old fiat operators and hustlers. That would have no obvious place on a bitcoin forum. I understand that you are very sincere and all that yada yada yada. But you are just a fiat type guy, so my advice to you would be to render unto Caesar that which is Casear's and go some where where that's the way people think. |

Shouldn't this thread have been started in off-topics? Or is it just me that fails to see the connection to Bitcoin?
Not just you. I asked for that connection or lack of and am here asking again. Now here's the problem I'm addressing to you, just_me, since you seem to wish to post jesus stuff over and over. It would follow that, if you made conversions, they would donate to a church or churches or causes.

"People who do not believe in Jesus Christ are blind and deaf"I believe but doubt his existence altough this statement is so wrong! You think everyone else is blind and deaf just for quoting a few lines from the bible? Dude, the Quran also has a lot of shit just like the Bible, does that mean everyone who doesn't believe in Allah is blind and deaf? Same goes for Torah  Dude.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK33CY68s1w |

Obamacare Girl was the face on this amazing great website, healthcare.gov. Her smile never broke down. She was telling you "Don't Worry! Be Happy!"
Sadly without any explanation Obamacare Girl vanished with her smile without saying "Good Buy" on your new improved healthcare plan.
I shall miss you Obamacare Girl. Stay safe and covered.
....
And they never paid her. They cheated her just like they cheated us. |

“Happy is he who repays you for what you have done to us – he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks.” (Psalm 137:9)
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.” (1 Timothy 2:12)
“This is what the Lord Almighty says... ‘Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3)
“Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:22)
“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)
(the thing about quoting a book full of bizarre things is that we can quote it also)
But it's the WORD. Although, in thinking about it, it could not be THE word because it is more than one word. |

Perhaps we should ask Bush why he was playing golf while starting to wage the war in Iraq. Maybe they have similar reasons for going off to play.
Of course they do. Neither is really in charge of anything. Being practical and proactive, we should just continue the fine Chicago gangster Democratic and liberal tradition of "Blame it on Bush." I'm not blaming it on Bush, just saying it's no different from that supposedly completely other guy, whom many of the people blaming Obama have not blaimed for the exact same thing. If you say that Bush did a lot of bad stuff, and now Obama is doing a lot of the same bad stuff, I agree with you. If you were sitting ildly by and ignoring things that Bush did, but then suddenly started to complain about them when Obama got into office, then you'd just be a hypocrite, or at the least disingenuous. You're taking me seriously. Try not to do that. I'm just carrying the fine media-sucking-up-to-Obama and the bobbleheads' ridiculous "blame it on Bush" to the ludicrous fringe. In other words, I'm advocating jail for the treasonous bastards who even think about - who even consider - blaming the failure of Obamacare on anything other than Bush. How dare you even think of equating the two? Obama caused the earth to begin to heal and the sea water to receed. That's got to at least be the equal of the power of Rumsfield and Cheney. Well, almost, okay? |

Everything should be blamed on Bush, for at least the next century or two. The Phillipines storm - just like Katrina - was the result of Bush ignoring climate controls and letting people do anything they wanted with carbon. Bengazi...the IRS scandal...Fast and Furious.....BUSH'S FAULT! |

Not the liberal arts I had.
Let me teach the kids about philosophy and mind expansion.
And can't we just be a community as humanity?
Not if we are forced to follow the commandments of the FSM. The ugliest god ever invented. I say, rebel now, cast off your chains of noodles. |

haha, former right-winger here. So glad to meet you in the middle, friend! I made the journey in the years leading up to Bitcoin.
What was the defining moment when you realized you were an anarchist? For me the defining moment was when I believed that security and law were services that could be provided by the free market and should not be monopolized by force. I realized at that point I had completely fallen over the edge. The technical plausibility of micropayments, coupled with wide usage of smart phones, has undermined the fundamental need for government in various areas. Might take a while for people to realize that and implement systems, of course. |

I'm not under the illusion that Bitcoin is efficient. But what's happening in current banking might be so much less efficient that Bitcoin has a chance.
If direct person to person currency destroys the State's ability to require itself to be an intermediary in every transaction (via it's currency) which said currency it then creates as it wishes, the result of direct currency would lessen the power, influence and apparent wealth of the State. Since it's wealth is only that taken from the people, the effect of bitcoin should be that people get correspondingly richer. I think bitcoin if adopted in many nations as a second currency would have very interesting consequences. For example: A decides to go to war against B. A starts to print money and to ramp up it's military. People in A move money into bitcoin. A finds it's ability to go to war against B seriously impacted. C is in a downward spiral with inflation at 50% per year. Commerce and business and contracts are severely impacted because nobody knows how the units of currency will perform when the deal made today is executed tomorrow. Making a contract becomes a form of betting. As volatile as bitcoin is, it is superior to the currency of country C. Better money drives out bad money. I believe these are examples of people achieving a solution through peer to peer networking - with the ecurrency - which previously would have been thought to be solvable only by political changes at the national level. Hence, bitcoin exposes the weak underside of the political process. It can't help but destroy one's opinion as to the need for political action or change. |

i have to admit that i voted for obama both times. i gave him a pass for not going after bank/wall street execs, but the last straw for me was when he sent the hammer down on snowden, whom i believe is 100% innocent. julian assange, on the other hand, i found to be more seedy.
anyways, the whole snowden issue was an eye opener for me. obama wants state police, and he wants to spread the american hegemony across the world. i won't be voting for a democrat again.
Sure, just vote for a third party candidate, and become no more or less than a useful idiot for the Great Diviser. And IIRC, Obama clearly stated in his first election that he wanted a 'civilian police force', as strong as the military. The problem was that people did not hear what was clearly being said. I think they believed somehow in their own hopes and aspirations for a better world, and externalized those into an individual with no actual content - Obama. He's basically destroyed the Democratic party, turning it into a fascist personality cult driven and totalitarian exercise in yesterday's socialist and utopian bullshit. All that's left is the politics of power, and the buying of votes. |
