Here in India, it is almost impossible to imagine such a scenario. Here the elders command a lot of respect and they even decide the marriage alliances and voting preference for their children and grand-children. If you tell them to listen to the youth, then they will slap you.

Without a doubt, Amazon is artificially stifling small businesses.

So? Here in India, none of the other retailers can compete with Amazon in terms of quality and price. So they are indulging in all sort of negativeness, such as spreading propaganda against Amazon and manhandling the courier guys. This is not going to work, I am afraid.

I think the justifiable reasons for war are to protect yourself from an aggressor or to protect others from an unjustifiable overwhelming force. At this stage in human development i see no other justifiably reason for war. If you think I am wrong I’m more than happy to hear other points of view.

What about preemptive strikes? If some country thinks that another nation is making preparations to attack them, then the former may launch a sudden attack in order to gain an upper hand. This was the justification given by Nazi Germany for invading the USSR.

Hey Sithara, how about when you make such bold claims about crime and health issues, you support them with evidence? According to you, prisons all over the world should be overrun with transgender people, killing and raping people left and right. So how about it, offer us some proof. And no, the fact that you really really don't like trans people is not the same as evidence, just fyi. Looking forward to hearing from you Smiley

Statistical evidence support what I said. Almost 40% of the child molestation are of same-sex nature, although homosexuals are less than 1% of the population. Similarly, the vast majority of the new HIV infections are found among homosexuals and bisexuals.

Since the exchange rates of Bitcoin solely depends on the demand, it is theoretically possible for BTC to lose its value, by up to 90%. For example, if the governments shut down all the exchanges, then the value can plummet.
14846  Economy / Economics / Re: China tells people to buy gold & silver on: April 20, 2018, 02:14:48 AM
I am surprised by this news... Historically, the Chinese government has discouraged its citizens from buying bullion metals, as it can negatively affect their efforts to manipulate the national currency (Chinese Yuan). Is this news confirmed?

Fortunately for Russia, they are placed in an easier group along with Uruguay, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Apart from Uruguay, none of the other teams are stronger than Russia. So my advice would be to bet in favor of Russia progressing from Group A.

The total market value of 25 Russian players from the last list is 125,80 Mill. €. For 28 Egypt players, it's 128,48 Mill. €. Surely, it doesn't reflect the whole balance of strength, but take into consideration facts Russian most experienced defenders Ignashevich and brothers Alexey and Vasiliy Berezutskiy ended playing for the national team, current best defenders Dzhikia and Vasin got injured and the gap in skill between coaches Cherchesov and Hector Cuper and it doesn't seem so great for Russia as you supposed.

Market value is only one of the several parameters which comes in to consideration. There are a lot of other factors that needs to be taken in to account, such as the recent form and the ability of players to adjust with the new climatic conditions. I will be making a bet in favor of Russia during the Egypt vs Russia match (19th June 2018), as I can't imagine them losing to Egypt in Saint Petersburg.

Even international T-20 matches we can predict based on country and team players, But here it's not easy we can just guess who will win the result must depend on your luck.

Nope... T20 is such an unpredictable game and it is not like test matches or ODIs, where you can easily predict the outcome. Do you know how many times the minnows Netherlands have beaten England in T20s? It doesn't matter whether it is an international T20 or IPL. Both are equally unpredictable. So while making the bets, please keep in mind this risk factor.
14849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: IPL( Indian Premier League) Prediction Thread, 2018. on: April 20, 2018, 02:02:59 AM
It looks like I'll be losing some money today. I made the bet in favor of SRH against KXIP. However, it looks like SRH is about to lose their match (if so, it will be their first defeat so far in this season). Chris Gayle is just unbelievable... He single-handedly destroyed the SRH bowlers.
SRH lose their 1st match in this season and you also lost your bet bad luck bro. In this season most of the matches chasing team won the games but in this match, we have to appreciate Ashwin he took the risk and opt to bat first. a fantastic century from Gayle he made his 6th century in IPL and he is the 1st batsman score more centuries in IPL. Dhawan was injured not bat today I think this is the reason SRH lose thier match.

For KXIP, the batting line-up is much stronger than the bowling (with Gayle, Nair, Yuvraj, Rahul and Agarwal). Their bowlers are very inexperienced (Mohit Sharma, Barinder Sran and the Afghan spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman),with the exception of Ashwin. Perhaps that was the reason why Ashwin chose to bat first.
14850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [IPL] Indian premier league picks on: April 20, 2018, 01:59:35 AM
Punjab has one of the best consistent hard hitters in their line up, plus ex Indian bowler (as he rarely plays for India now) experience matters a lot. Punjab are a formidable side and if Gayle starts blasting at the top of the order they'll continue to dominate this tournament. Though if they falter it'll be bad, let's wait and eee how they perform in the coming matches.

Yesterday none of the other factors came in to the picture. It was Chris Gayle all the way. Apart from Karun Nair (who made 31), none of the other batsmen scored more than 20. And remember that during the auctions Gayle went unsold during the first day. How humiliating it could have been for him!

If you know how to securely store your coins, then there is nothing to be afraid of. I have seen coins getting stolen from a lot of people. In 100% of such cases, it happened because of their own carelessness. Either they didn't cared to enable 2FA, or they opened the wallets in infected systems.
14852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin is officially dead on: April 20, 2018, 01:49:22 AM
We can see the price now are better, litecoin is improving and developing so if they are shit coin I guess they have no value now. But look at the people who hold on until now, they have a good return.

I was about to purchase some LTC in the first half of 2017, when the exchange rate was around BTC0.004 per coin. But ultimately I decided against it. Imagine how much profit I could have got, if I had gone ahead with the plans (the current exchange rates are BTC0.018 per coin).
14853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why altcoin is better than bitcoin? on: April 20, 2018, 01:43:42 AM
investing in bitcoin will be safer than investing in altcoins
but profit will be lower
For example, bitcoin x2 will be harder than alt x2 because it takes a huge amount of money to bitcoin x2

That doesn't mean that there exists no probability that Bitcoin will increase in value by 2x. On the other hand, I would say that investing in Bitcoin is preferred because the value of almost all the altcoins are also linked to that of Bitcoin.
14854  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Winner of this year, ETH or BTC? on: April 20, 2018, 01:40:08 AM
im vote for etherium, i think in the end of this year etherium could be hit around 1500$, its just my opinion sir. Grin

Any reason for that? ETH is no longer the sole platform available for the launching of tokens. It is facing quite tough competition from the new entrants such as Qtum, NEO and Stellar. I am not saying that it will not touch $1,500 per coin, but it is going to take a lot of effort.
14855  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2nd Ethereum bailout is almost here on: April 20, 2018, 01:38:22 AM
Yes hehehe. Lord Vitalik will use flowery words and confusing jargon to manipulate and force everyone to accept that refunding any frozen funds to his friends, at present and in the future, is good for the future of the platform.

Ethereum is turning into a political and administrative horror.

This is one of the reasons why Ethereum failed to overtake Bitcoin, despite being technologically superior. Once you lose the trust, it is very difficult to get it back. Freezing funds and refunding coins goes against the very principle of decentralized crypto-currency.
14856  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin To Buy Now? on: April 20, 2018, 01:03:29 AM
I got buy some ADA ( cardano ) i've seen they have some power to growing up. And get buy some Ethereum just for speculation.

Cardano already had such a big pump in 2017, before losing most of its value. I really doubt whether the next pump will occur anytime soon. But it is not a bad choice for investment. And ETH is one of the safe coins out there, which you can invest in.
14857  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can facebook change the way you vote ?. on: April 19, 2018, 07:50:50 AM
I don't think so. I was never a fan of social media because the freedom of information was too loose. There are fake news and it can change the mind of a person by just one article. If you look at the stats, not a lot of people are searching on google for articles. They just scroll down in facebook and believe what's there. I am talking about the majority of people that was  into social media. If facebook has their own KYC per account, that is the only time I will believe in them.

LOL... You are arguing in favor of KYC in a crypto-currency forum? Some people want to hide their identity in Facebook and there can be valid reasons for doing that. A few months back, dozens of houses were burned down and hundreds injured after riots occurred as a result of some Facebook post in Cox's Bazaar.

Gender is not any more unequal today some of them get criticize. some of them criticize through social media on there post. gays and lesbian should not be criticize its there own decision what they want to became.We should respect gays ang lesbians because we are all same people created by god..Its there choice...We have to treat them equal.

Don't divert the topic please. We are debating about issued between males and females here and you are trying to hijack the topic and make it a debate between homosexuals and heterosexuals. That is an entirely different topic and there are multiple threads dealing with it in this sub-forum.
14859  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Socialism vs capitalism ,which one is good for us ?? on: April 19, 2018, 07:45:05 AM
From my experience, I'd rather go with capitalism. Socialism is a failed strategy, as evident from history. None of the countries that have adopted socialism has succeeded, and the list includes North Korea, Bolivia, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Cambodia, and Venezuela.
14860  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Kill Syrians because Syrians are killing Syrians... on: April 19, 2018, 07:41:49 AM
I love it when a short sentence is so impactful aha. So true. I would like to add that although they are calling it a civil war, the majority of the guys fighting Assad are actually not from syria. Its a bunch off wahaabi selafi crazed literalist lunatics that are funded by our pals over in Saudi Arabia. Making it all the worse that we are bombing the Syrian government.

Foreign players are present on both sides of the conflict. A lot of foreign Arabs, Chechens and other mercenaries are fighting for the rebels. Assad's forces are supplemented with Hezbollah from Lebanon and Shiite militias from Afghanistan and Iran. A number of Russians (part of the Wagner regiment) are also fighting for them.
