Loved it. Seemed like the natural successor film to Goodfellas and Casino. I can recommend you Boiler Room,American Psycho or The Rules of Attraction

Though bitcoin may be small right now, these stars are not. The exposure these guys can bring to bitcoin may be unparalleled, as they bring it to the attention of the masses, not just the techies out there.

Actually, this is why you shouldn't vote Hilary:

Well, she seems to say she supports the right to own firearms so everything depends on her actual nuances. For example, if a problem developed with actual assault weapons, at least my definition of assault weapons, then I would be for further restrictions on them. I'm not so sure it makes sense to keep some fully automatic weapons or SAM launchers, or bazookas in metropolitan areas. But I don't see it as worth dealing with until an actual problem develops.

The government can take my RPGs when they pry them from my cold dead hands.

What a terrible infringement to have a back ground check when buying a handgun. I mean the world is clearly ending.
I don't see background checks  as much of an issue. The only thing that bothers me is registration of the real issue is hand guns and carrying them. When I look at the difference is lost between the US, and say Canada, the biggest difference seems to be carrying concealed or open carry handguns. 



Also let's face it, if handguns weren't used in homicides, the numbers would drop dramatically. Rifles and shit are really small numbers, and as far as I know, there aren't many restrictions on long guns in Canada. I'm not sure what the solution is. It certainly isn't significant legislation, because the second amendment will hold up mostly. There needs to be reasonable discussion by people who know about guns, not the dipstick politicians who try for ridiculous changes based on emotion or looks.

There should be a way to deal with it, but it certainly won't be dealt with by pro gun nuts, or anti gun nuts. Those people only want to keep to their own agenda.

The forum should wipe them. I bet they took a lot of good usernames lol.

That kinda makes sense, they probably come back and sell them just cause user names can be used for a certain company.  who knows.

1510  Other / Politics & Society / Re: our USA education system sucks and is obsolete on: May 10, 2014, 06:14:41 PM
The future of education will all be online.

Sure kids might go some place with teachers assistants or a type of "babysitter" for a few hours to work on their online assignments, but it will still all be done online.

Florida already offers a full, free curriculum online where you can get full credit including a high school diploma.

The teacher's union is unionizing teachers right out of a job.

On a side note regarding "education paradigms", most of college, and much of grad school could easily be done online. I haven't gone to a single lecture after like 4 months of starting, since I can get everything online and there are better teachers out there than what most schools offer (Khan Academy etc).

But with the huge demand for country club campuses and government guaranteeing loans (even if you pursue something like art history), tuition will never stop increasing.
Right now there's a proposal in California to have the state pay for STEM fields tuition. The student pays it back in the form of an income tax after graduation. The proposal is limited to STEM fields because "he doesn’t want a bunch of lazy arts students taking advantage of free tuition and paying back almost nothing from their negligible future salaries."
It's hysterical that he actually said that, mostly because he's right and that's so rare for politicians

No he isn't.
Long term education decisions shouldn't always be driven by the market.
Often times the market is shortsighted and we undervalue many forms of education and art

The whole idea of university and scholarly pursuit should have at least some degree of independence both from political pressure and economics.

Some of the greatest advancements to human thought and philosophy have come from those deemed less valuable by the markets of their respective time.

We should be encouraging STEM studies. I'm not saying I'm against you going for an English or liberal arts degree, it's just I believe if were going to help someone get an education it should be in science, technology or math, so they could possibly use it in the future for something other than making sure the drive-through orders are correct.
I don't think anyone is saying that non-STEM fields should be funded while STEM fields aren't funded.
There's nothing really wrong with that , but as far as practical application is concerned, obviously STEM fields are much more likely to be paid back. I don't think loans should be issued to arts and science majors as though they are all of equal risk. If you're going into a field that is less likely to be able to afford to pay back the loan, then that should factor into whether you get a loan, and it should factor into the loan amount as well.

best explains the scam of a system we have today
Imagine borrowing more money from the person that you already owe, just to put a little dent in the interest that will inevitably compound. That's the surest way to go bankrupt, but our government can somehow sustain & never go under???  The US government spends 3 to 4 times more than they earn annually. Wish I could get away with that!
1512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the biggestest threats to Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2014, 04:57:11 PM
Quantum computers? Bugs in the code? Centralized mining?

Is there anything that can't potentially be overcome that is a threat to Bitcoin? Anything I didn't mention?

Thanks in advanced.
I think that the biggest threat to bitcoin is :"Misinformation".Yes things like Security and Ease of Use are important, and of course Government Regulation (though hopefully lack there of) will play a big part, but public perception and sentiment will always be the primary driver of any new technology.
1513  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: what are the chances that more than 21 million bitcoin will be created? on: May 10, 2014, 04:46:29 PM
I'd prefer that Bitcoin stays at 21 million so I can one day claim to be a millionaire when the price decides to go ballistic and each BTC equals $1 million or more..  Grin
I agree with you ,if they will try to create more bitcoins then will be the end of bitcoin.The value will drop a lot,people will lose the trust in bitcoin.

Naturally. In this case owned and operated by goldman sachs.

not only Gold man Sachs Was RGB and other wall street firms that threw him parties to promote him, I worked at one of them and they threw him a event.

We don't need ideal money,ideal/perfect is abstract .What we need is not to pay so huge fees when we transfer money,not to way days for it,not to be controlled by government,we need a coin for people ...and that is bitcoin!

Can you buy viagra, dentures or adult diapers with bitcoin?
Viagra,yes,you can buy it with bitcoin from this website:
http://www.coinrx.com/generic-viagra/
Dentures or adult diapers,i don't know,but i am sure that in a few months or by next year a lot of pharmacy and stores will accept bitcoin.
1518  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How To Explain Bitcoin To Your Grandparents on: May 10, 2014, 10:52:41 AM
I will show this to my grandmother,but i doubt she will take out her savings from bank to invest in bitcoin.
1519  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Woman Celebrates Her “Cool” Abortion on YouTube on: May 10, 2014, 10:35:59 AM
with all this social media around, everybody wants to be famous. they jump at every chance to record themselves in hopes of becoming famous.. because that's all that they aspire to. it's getting ridiculous.
Famous how?By killing your own blood and flesh,killing an innocent child that has no way to defend itself?I had a case in my family,one of my cousin ,she was in 4 months pregnant when she find out she has lungs cancer. The doctor suggest her to make an abortion in order to start the chemotherapy,but she chose her child life over her own. So that lady should be judge worst than a serial killer!
