They have a good chance to form a country. The mosquitoes there would be able to suck dry any army what would try to recover that land Smiley.

Why can't communism be communism without a centralized daddy like figure to guide its people? Because communism needs sheep to slaughter. That is what history has told us thus far, with millions of dead sheep as proof... Way more than any free, any free market driven societies...

Again with the forced association of atheism with Communism, why?

This is not a discussion about communism, this is about theism and atheism, why are you repeatedly bringing in a social system that is nothing to do with atheism and everything to do with communism?

They are the most prolific atheists in history. Naturally everybody associating atheism with Communism.

Communism isn't just a social system it's a full featured ideology with it's own moral and ethics, basically a kind of religion.

It's possible to use them as cheap working force. At the uranium mines, for example.

We also need some appointed volunteers to deal with fukushima and chernobyl consequences... Just let them to choose between shooting or removing the debris from the reactor room. If they'll decide to help then provide them some suitable treatment of radiation poisoning. And amnesty, in case of survival.

Originally I was thinking on simple things like soil improvement or turning them to dog food, but your solution looks more efficient indeed Smiley.

Almost missed this. Seedboxes are good Smiley. Great site thanks!

This may be splitting hairs at this point, but what really is the difference between burning somebody to death and stoning them to death? Is it just a personal preference, or are you taking something else into account, because I consider them both barbaric forms of punishment.

Barbaric forms of punishment are required for crimes which are of barbaric nature. Simple jail terms, with access to 5-star food and video-game consoles will only encourage these sort of crimes. These people should be made to suffer.

Just simply shot them in the head. We don't need to torture them (and became something similar to them), we need to get rid of them (together with everyone else who could ask for revenge) on a quick, efficient and economical way.

Today it has become a SIN to be born as a girl. Not only Russia, but I find such cases in every country. There's nothing like equality today but still people keep saying that girls and boys are equal when they OBVIOUSLY don't mean it.

Many ppl are still thinking in the old ways however in the meantime the circumstances are changed. I mean a lot of ppl/society still think that only boys will carry the name, the fame and the honour of the family while girls are only good for bartering and making social networks with other families by marrying them. As the importance of the arranged marriages declining and women getting more and more independent this is changing or will change  soon (passage of quantitative changes into qualitative changes).

Just on the side note, the perfectly atheist commies and their "worshippers" did exactly the same Smiley.

Ah, yes, the Atheists as Communists schtick, never get tired of hearing that old one.
Atheism is not Communism. Communism is Communism.
Forbidding religion is not the same as educating people enough to intellectually understand why religion is delusional nonsense.

Commies, in fact were atheists. I'm not saying that all atheists are commies. What I'm saying is some atheists are acting pretty similar way as religious fanatics at their best when someone talking about God in their presence.


For what you call "racism" some IRL experience used to be enough Smiley.

I don't understand what you mean by this, could you expand on it?

If you encounter the same harmful behavioural pattens several times from some ethnic groups then you will naturally form preconceptions.

But Jesus WAS a real person, you say! There's a plethora of evidence! No, not really, outside of the gospels. And those hardly count as "evidence." They are secondary sources at best. Here's why: if a historical Jesus really lived and died between 0 and 33 CE, then we know beyond a doubt that at least forty years passed before the earliest gospel - the one written by Mark - was scribed.

What about Antiquities 20, 9, 1 from Josephus Flavius? That's just a note in that chapter without any rating so it's unlikely to be a forgery.
Maybe Tacitus Annals (book 15, chapter 44)? Not a friendly opinion so forgery is unlikely again. I agree, these are not contemporary sources but still within less than a century.

I didn't say they were, I said that it is the same dysfunctional mindset required for theism as for racism and homophobia.

Every religion has some facts which we agree with or disagree with but we don't have a right to mock a religion

We absolutely do have the right to mock religion. Are you even aware of what happens when theists genuinely believe that nobody has the right to mock,disrespect or even question their religion? They are frequently found to be seeking to impress their never-present deity-of-choice by way of brutally murdering those who just happen to be the wrong flavour of their own religion, let alone the barbaric slaughter of intellectuals who may propose objective reasoning and critical thinking take precedence over the conditioned intellectual dishonesty that theism demands.

Oh, sure, YOUR religion ain't like that, right? Right?

But perhaps you need to consider that the same exact fallacious reasoning which convinces you your brand of 'special' is superior to other religion's brand of 'special', is what drives the fundamentalist justification for their heinous acts.

You are simply an apologist for theism and equally as guilty of fuelling hate within the fundie as their own warped belief system, by way of your tacit approval of the notion that nobody has the right to mock or criticise the 'deeply held' beliefs of those who are desperate to feel 'special'.

Sure, believe you are 'special' in a superior way to other theist flavours, which is what you must think otherwise you would elect to follow a brand that you felt was actually the 'right' one, but don't you dare think you are entitled to demand deference and respect for your infantile lack of intellectual integrity.

The guy who wrote that book were on shrooms for sure! Fun-shrooms give a new perspective in a good way

it was written by more than one person.


Well, then we discovered a whole network of drug abusers Smiley
1574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think quantum computers would break Bitcoin's security? on: April 16, 2015, 12:58:22 PM
I guess one day when quantum computers will be standard stuff at every govt agencies and banks this going to be a real issue. Luckily quantum computing at this moment very much in it's infancy so the devs still have a couple of years (maybe decades) to find out something.

The community here also have at least a decade to agree on forking or not forking. Probably this part going to be the bottleneck Smiley.
1575  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: London Looks to become Future Global Financial Hub for Bitcoin on: April 16, 2015, 12:33:30 PM
London used to be a financial hub with many pragmatic players, so catching up with bitcoin seems to be quite natural approach Smiley.

Good, but the site might needs some more work as it falling apart (the top quoter keep disappearing and the content not resizing with the window) both under Chrome and Firefox.

You are mostly right on Stalin but don't forget that he lead the transition of Russia from a crumbling second grade empire to a modern superpower. As I see many Russians are appreciate this and tend to forget the dark side of the process and all the hardships.

BTW in Hungary Attila the Hun is still one of our most popular "superheroes" however he and his lot wasn't a bunch of nice guys but he lead us from victory to victory, so I can understand if some Russians have warm feelings towards Stalin.
1578  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is this not Bitcoinland on: April 16, 2015, 09:40:08 AM
Thanks for the link, I will take a closer look into this. It is really fascinating to hear about this, I think the bitcoin foundation should send some representatives there and convince them to use bitcoin a the official currency  Grin

To be honest their own NXT fork would be a better choice.
1579  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be the furture currency-Encryption currency will be more safe on: April 16, 2015, 09:37:40 AM
Maybe Biticoin will not last longer, however, encryption currency owns strong life, perhaps, the government will use more safe electronic money instead of paper currency. Will it be OK?

No that's not OK. A govt controlled crypto is the straight way to full financial control and surveillance. Cards on steroids.
1580  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why One Bitcoin Core Developer Thinks Cryptocurrencies Have A Dreadful Future on: April 16, 2015, 09:31:16 AM
US regulations and influence over the core development would be an excellent way to double my bitcoin holdings, as I'm pretty sure a large part of the community would stay on a non regulated fork. So after the forking I'd have USBitcoins and RestOfTheWorldBitcoins as well. I guess those US regulators are still don't getting how this bitcoin stuff is working Smiley.
