Which make me come back to my original point.... Where is Michael Moore lying?

It seems he's perfectly right no?

And I'm seeing a HUGE problem with the fact that more or less anyone can sell firearms and bullets to more or less anybody Oo

What is the huge problem other than you knee jerk conditioning to associate guns with violence? Do you think that way every time you see a knife or do you think ham sandwich? Just because you have never had a ham sandwich doesn't make the knife only for violence.

I'm no longer arguing with you dude, you're just ignoring the parts of my speech that are troublesome for you.

Wanna know what I think is a problem? I think there is a huge correlation between gun freedom and the incredible high violent crimes rate of your country. And I see no really good point in gun liberty as you're not protected from anything, neither banks nor rapes. Again I brought to you stats making those points.


You were never debating me, you were just stringing together a bunch of logical fallacies and opinions. You are just mad because I dissected each and every one of them and proved how full of shit you are using the science of language - logic. You should learn it.

Who the fuck are you some cheese munching Frenchman thousands of miles away in his own personal French Caliphate to tell Americans that they get no protection from guns just because you object to them? BTW the premise behind "your stats" was flawed, and I explained in detail why in previous posts even if you are too willfully ignorant to read it.


Damn how can I be more precise than that...
My claim was that gun control helps to prevent violent crimes and that gun freedom doesn't help to fight crimes.
My evidence is that 28/28 EU nation have less violent crimes than USA, and the vast majority (26/28) have less rapes.
Show me the "logical fallacy" here. And I'm trying to debate with you but you don't give a fuck about my arguments and don't explain yours. I'm still waiting for your evidence that USA is "incredibly has more diversity than EU".

Who am I? Well, I don't know, maybe just a Bitcointalk user who came on a thread called "what's your OPINION on gun control" and who decided to share his OPINION on gun control and is supporting his claim with statistical proofs that EU countries are less violents than USA and BELIEVE it's linked to gun control.

You want an absolute proof? That's impossible! The only way to actually prove it would be to instaure gun control in half of the USA and to see if it changes anything...
You're correct in one small part, the OP is asking for opinions.  But the only way to actually prove this out would be to make guns reasonably available to Europe and see if it changes anything...

Or control them in a part of the USA.

Anyway I don't think we should. America and EU are just too different. It's not really possible to compare them. We both have our way of life, it doesn't mean one is superior to the other.

Oh. You're refusing to consider the infinity of variations of shades and forms?

Well then you're more or less right... Wait! No you're not!
Black + white = an infinity of results without any preponderance.

When you mix two very different races you get a metis, and metis are all different. There sin't any great trend.
Seems like you don't understand genetics xD

Ok let's be clear. For eyes color you can have a very precise view of the outcome simply because eye color is determined by one unique gene with two alleles. So the possibilities are not very numerous, each giving a precise result.

But skin color is determined by multiple genes all having two alleles all combining. So the results are infinite! It's not all a question of dominant/recessive.
Shades do matter. No doubt. Grin



xD
Well at least you have humour that's good.

But you understand that the "nigga" photo will become the norme? The more the time passes the more genetics mix and we will have one unique race in the end!

Europe wants end to anonymous Bitcoin transactions

Money-laundering powers seen as crimp on terror funds if virtual currencies offer (unlikely) help

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/02/03/ec_virtual_currency_regulation_suggestion/

Good luck to them trying to find a way of enforcing that Grin

Just like in the US they would focus on the exchanges.

What? Btc exchange are forbidden in the US? Then how am I buying and selling my btc?

The EC are concerned about the perceived anonymity of BTC transactions. US exchanges have AML/KYC measures in place - transactions aren't anonymous.

Edit:
Quote
The plan therefore calls for virtual currency exchange platforms to be brought under the scope of the European Anti-Money Laundering Directive, which would mean exchanges would have to report just who used their services and when they were used. The Action Plan says “The Commission will also examine whether to include virtual currency 'wallet providers'.”

Ah ok.
Well I don't know how they would want to do it. Yes exchanges are not anonymous, but you don't use exchange if you want anonymous. You pays and receive in btc and if you want cash you go through local bitcoin  Grin
1444  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: February 03, 2016, 01:17:36 PM
Ok. I agree with most of what you say. It's clear that the Bible can't just be the truth.

The Bible is an old book written in ancient times. What's important is not the exact text but the message behind. And the message is really clear: love all and forgive everything.

You can't insult or threaten atheists. In my heart I'm pretty sure that, whatever the Bible says, they will be welcomed and judged as anyone. Not just go to hell because they didn't have the faith. Why would they be punished for not having Him in their heart? They already lived without the comfort of believing in Him! Why would He punish them even in the afterlife???

I think it's all about faith and they're is nothing more personal than faith, so they can't be judged Smiley

1446  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Racism is a real thing (this thread is extremely racist) on: February 03, 2016, 01:08:42 PM

Totally agreed. How genes (dominant/recessive) work in a nutshell (for those who don't know):

Black + white = black child
Black + blonde = black child with black hair
White with blue eyes genes + white with blue eyes genes  = white child with blue eyes


Hmm... no...

You know it's not only a question of dominant/recessive right? Most genes mix together, only some very precises genes (such as some hair colors or eye colors for example) are dominant/recessive couple.
Genetics is a natural science so there could be no exact answer. Random mutations also need to be considered. But the combinations above most likely (like 95% or so) will outcome such results.

You're wrong really. Here two articles which may help you understand how more subtile genetic is. It's not "95%" for most of genes. Most genes have an infinite number of possible combinations.

https://www.quora.com/How-is-skin-color-determined-in-babies
http://multiracial.com/site/index.php/2000/10/01/how-do-we-inherit-our-skin-color/

Only very precise genes work with the dominant/recessive theory , others gives a result which is a combination of the two genes.
I was talking about the examples I provided above. So black + any = black skin. It might be. A little bit. Less black. Shades are absolutely insignificant. Eventually, black + white = nigger niglet.
Yes, white + white outcomes pretty various results.

Edit: it's even possible that black + black will have a white! But that's a miserably small amount of cases.

Seems like you don't understand genetics xD

Ok let's be clear. For eyes color you can have a very precise view of the outcome simply because eye color is determined by one unique gene with two alleles. So the possibilities are not very numerous, each giving a precise result.

1447  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Every US taxpayer is now $1 million in debt on: February 03, 2016, 01:04:55 PM

There's a solution. It's possible to renounce US citizenship, and you can walk out without paying that million bucks. But I think it's better to have debt. The average American lives way better than the average Ethiopian or Somali who is totally debt-free.

Hmm...
Well it mostly depends on what you think will happen to this debt.
Not necessary to be a genius to see that it's impossible to repay such a debt. Which means that it doesn't really exists.

But you're still paying.

$233 Billion per year goes toward just the interest on the national debt. The 6th largest spending item and growing. By 2020 it will be more than we spend on our military.

No, you're borrowing again to repay it. but you borrow more or less to the same person.

The question is, what will happen when no one will lend you anymore?

Well in the case of USA it's easy, they can just print whatever amount they want until their debt (which is in fix amount of dollars) worth nothing.

That would be incredible! Imagine tomorrow the government prints not USD but NUSD (for New USD) and they declare 1 NUSD worths 19 millions of USD. Then they go and just give one NUSD to their debittor xD

And China would be like "WTF man?"

1449  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: February 03, 2016, 01:01:45 PM


Does gun control help prevent violent crimes or doesn't it? Make up your mind. You don't sound very precise at all. I already emboldened and numbered your logical fallacies and linked descriptions, I am not sure how much more clear I could make that part. If your premise that guns do not prevent violence is true then Australia, Belgium, and Sweden wouldn't have higher rape stats considering their strict gun control no? These countries  crumble your premise that guns do not prevent violence. Additionally people tend to not report ATTEMPTED crimes that failed due to simply brandishing a firearm in self defense, so it is quite likely the statistics of defensive use of firearms are very underestimated. Just because I expect you to follow the rules of logic and support your opinion s with fact doesn't mean I am demanding "absolute proof", this is just more of your extremism showing. If its not your way it must be the exact polar opposite extreme! Merde!


Well, we agree on something. The vast majority of EU countries are less violent than USA.
Where do you think it comes from then? I claim that gun control is part of the explanation, simply because the absence of guns diminishes the potential threat of each citizen.

And as we're talking about social science, the questions are about statistical proofs. It's not because 2 countries in EU have higher rapes rate that you can just forget the 28/28 countries with less violent crimes and 26/28 with less rape rates.

"Just because I expect you to follow the rules of logic and support your opinion s with fact doesn't mean I am demanding "absolute proof""
Well I did, I supported my claims with what I consider proofs. And you can't refute those arguments so you just say they're "not enough" well they might not be enough for you but they are for me.

I think that what Tecshare explains it's that we should all be free to chose. Any kind of government can be corrupted or just be wrong. Nothing should be forbidden (well at least nothing that doesn't hurt directly someone else).

Maybe it's linked, I think it is. But as you say yourself it's not possible to prove it. So why forcing everyone to let their guns at the police station if you're not sure it will have a positive impact?

This is SERIOUSLY stable  Cheesy

Books order are empty. And so is my pocket
Just hope investors will come back once the size problem is dealt with.

Block size debate will rumble on & on for a while yet. Don't expect it to be resolved quickly. Stability in the price is good, it makes bitcoin more attractive to noob investors.

Let's hope it isn't too long before the next leg up, with or without news on block size.

Think so?
I'm a bit new to all this but it seemed not to be the most complicated evolution of the code. Why should it take lots of time?

Consensus my friend.

Lots of bull shit politics.

Yeah ok but it can go really quick and smooth if everyone reach a consensus.

Which means btc is relatively safe cause if price drops too much and frighten miners, the consensus will be reached much faster I think xD

People buy and others sell. That's the definition of a market. That would be fake if you wouldn't receive anything you buy/sell, but you do.

It's not because you lost lots of money that it becomes "fake".

1454  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is happening to BTC price? on: February 03, 2016, 11:15:16 AM
Any idea for the reason for the recent drop of bitcoin price?
IMO, this is just a trap by trader, they want bought bitcoin in the cheap price so don't be scared with this situation 2-3 month again price will rise much.

Yes I think so too. The price will rise soon. So that is now good to buy Bitcoins now.
Because if you buy now you can have some profit later. You just need to wait and see.

I don't think so. I think the price is down a bit because of the frightening aspect of the divisions inside the dev team. So investors don't have the time to dig in order to see if it's serious, they're just frightened by all the noise around it so they're no longer investing.

Once the issue is resolve it will go up again (I hope).
1455  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC reach $600 during the first month of the new year? on: February 03, 2016, 11:13:43 AM
it's very easy to reach $700 Roll Eyes
we will see it before 1 feb 2016

bitcoin rise and rise again to the moon Smiley


There is nothing news or a powerful thing to bring bitcoin at $700 in addition to halving I think.

$700 could happen some time in second quarter of 2016. The price will stay low for the time being.

The price is going down now, it could drop below $350 very soon. It is possible to go even lower.

All these people saying the price will break everything and the moon is near and everything like that...
Well I don't see your moon, I see a slow lowering trend that, I hope, will start to rise again a bit!
1456  Economy / Speculation / Re: We are down again? on: February 03, 2016, 11:12:40 AM
we are not down i think, we just need to wait for some time to get a recovery and the price will start rising once again, if my predictions are correct i will be rich pretty soon i hope

The bitcoin is in fact now very low. We're not going down because we're already low.
I think just later it going to be worth much more and that people are going to buy it now so they actually have a profit later.

I think I can never know that because that is quite unpredictable.

Well I hope you're right because if btc goes any lower, it will be the end.

For now miners don't make incredible profits, and if the price goes even lower, they won't be able to pay their electricity bill xD
1457  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: February 03, 2016, 11:01:11 AM
Call me mad but I believe there is a god around us. I just don't think the evolution is questionable, why can't we have both? Lots of scientists were also very religious people.

Faith and science are not incompatible.  Smiley

They're different domains. Of course you can have faith and be a scientist, but trying to use one to prove the other is like trying to use maths to prove art -- it completely misses the point.


Good analogy. And it's right that religion is a question of faith.
You can't prove the existence of God, if you could then it wouldn't be God.

You can't prove His existence otherwise He couldn't test our faith.

For gambling i suggest directbet and bitstarz, for only dice game, primedice

Good point. It's also a question of the trust you have in who is holding the money behind.
