Of course not, but sadly, their belief system leans towards and ideology that is not compatible with much of the West. There is a reason why in Europe, they contribute to the largest percentage of rapes, far exceeding the percentages of other cultures.

Any statistics to back that up or are we just making claims based on what we read on websites who want to scare the crap out of you so you keep giving them clicks which drive up their ad revenue?

Also, in your first sentence you mention 'belief system'. In your second sentence you link that to 'culture'. Those are two different things.

Islam is a belief system. Culture is more specific to countries.

Now I fully accept that some refugees who've come to Europe have caused problems, including crimes such as rapes and thefts.

You need to break it down by country and IMO you would find that most of the offenders come from a handful of countries. And usually those countries will have suffered from war and poverty for long periods of time.

I also feel compelled to point out that just because someone has a muslim name, it doesn't mean that they are a practising muslim whose every life decision is dictated by Islam.

All Muslims practice their faith to a varying degree. I would say the 80/20 rule applies here as much as it does anywhere else (With only 20% actually practising properly). People with Muslim names smoke, drink, have sex, commit crimes etc just as much as people with Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist names also do, all over the world.

Can you please update new blockchain migration status?? Roadmap?¿ Exchanges?


Although I am not an official representative of Footballcoin, I can probably guess how they would answer your question.  "The new blockchain is in the testing phase.  The exchange will be available after the blockchain is ready, but we cannot disclose an exact time when it will be ready yet.  But when it is released, it will make all your wildest dreams come true.  Thank you for your patience."  So basically, it will probably finished sometime between now and January.   Wink
Extremedely soon , sure....

You guys are right to highlight the lack of firm dates for completion etc. but as someone who has been critical in the past I have to balance this out by saying that at least we have a working product with this project.

I'm also happy that the product is being developed further with new leagues and new competitions being added.

We all know that this project is taking a long time to reach it's potential but it could be a lot worse. The game is ready for a large influx of new players and hopefully ANX will do a good job with the new blockchain and make it easy for non-crypto footy fans to buy XFC and join the game.

Personally, I'm waiting to see the features of the new blockchain and the marketing that should start soon after the blockchain is ready. At that point we can make a better judgement of where this project is going.

I think it is very good card-game system that is created on this platform. Most famous players from popular teams are already sold out. This means, anyone who is planning to create a strong team will have to buy XFC. This will surely have a good effect on the coin price.




What makes you say that most famous players are already sold out?  I was under the impression that most are still available.

Some of the players are indeed sold out. Some have done really well in the start of the season and that must have prompted a lot of people to purchase the cards. A lot of the Assitant manager have also sold, for obvious reasons.

But have a look in the market and you might still find what you're looking for. https://game.footballcoin.io/#!/market-players/



Thanks. I bought Messi during the discount period but I thought that players were currently unavailable to purchase due to the changeover of blockchains, but I realised now that I was looking for players via my wallet. I can see that many players have been sold after looking via my game account.

Have you guys reduced the number of cards per player that are available for sale? I thought there were 3000 Messi cards for sale overall but I've checked and availability is currently 16/240.

I assume this to mean there were 240 Messi cards available to begin with and now only 16 are available to buy.

I think that Muslims are cruel to other people, faiths and Nations. They are taught from childhood that only their faith and God is right.Therefore, all Muslims are bad.

So thinking that your faith is right makes you a bad person..?

Why would you even follow any faith if you didn't believe it was the right one?

Muslim are not all bad..because i have many muslim friend here in philippines and all are very kind and religions belief.they are simple human like us.so dont think or believe all muslim are bad.always give me foods and always advice me to good other people and other religion.

Some of the Muslims may look very peaceful and calm on the outside. But it takes just 5 minutes to expose their hypocrisy. You can ask the following questions to any Muslim male, and notice their reaction:

1. If some non-Muslim marries your sister, would you accept him?
2. If your brother turns out to be a gay, would you still love him?
3. If your son converts to Christianity, would you still allow him to speak to you?


1. If some non-Muslim marries your sister, would you accept him?

Yes. I may not be happy about it but being rude to him or acting violently against him wouldn't achieve anything apart from turning him against Islam.

2. If your brother turns out to be a gay, would you still love him?

Yes. Love is not a tap that can be turned on or off, especially when it comes to family.

3. If your son converts to Christianity, would you still allow him to speak to you?

Yes. Similar reasons as above and I would enjoy debating with him so he understands my views properly and vice versa.


A few questions for you:

1. If a non-hindu is carrying meat on a train in India and you suspected that meat was beef, would you accept that?

2. If your sister wanted to marry a muslim or a christian, what would your reaction be?

3. Do you think women are second-class citizens and if not then why do you think they are treated so badly in India?
167  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you believe all muslims are bad? on: September 12, 2017, 12:51:41 PM
Not all muslims are bad and terrorists, and not all christians are son of God and saints. Religion is not a brand that we wear. Being a muslim doesn't make you a terrorist, or being a Christian doesn't make you a good people too. Any religion can commit crimes or sins. Religion is about faith not brand that a person wears.

The difference between Islam and Christianity is the fact that Islamic holy book encourages its followers to kill the non-believers, while the Bible (the Christian holy book) ask its followers to be tolerant towards the non-Christians. I am not saying that the current bunch of Christians are very tolerant (at least in India, they are not). But their intolerance is a result of their personal views, rather than the Christian faith.

Do you think Hindus in India are tolerant people?

I would like to suggest a small improvement:

Is it possible to have fixtures shown somewhere on the page where players are being selected? This would make it much easier to pick your players based on difficulty of opposition.

If Espanyol are playing away to Barcelona then I probably don't want an Espanyol defender in my team but at the moment I need to have fixtures open on another tab or another device so I can keep looking at who is playing who.

Another improvement I think would help players:

Let's say I'm choosing my team for a contest. I choose a 2-star player and add him to my team. When I come back to select the next player I would like the list of players to remain at 2-star rather than defaulting back to 'all players' and making me have to select '2-star' from the dropdown menu again.

This might seem like a small detail but the majority of players won't own any 3-star or above players so they'll be selecting 16 2-star players and it's annoying to have to select 2-star from the drop-down menu each time you choose a new player.

Hope that makes sense.


This improvement was made from last season, already discussed here on forum Smiley You have to click on first column "rank"(in header) on "select player" window, and to make ascending/descending selection. Like this you'll have always 2* players first in your selection. Or you can select from "view" window only 2* players.

Thanks for responding but either I don't understand your solution or you don't understand my problem so I will try to explain again.

When I am selecting a player for my team, I only see 2 drop-down menus. The menus are 'View' and 'Team'.

I click on 'View' and choose '2' so it shows me only 2-star players. I then select a 2-star player and it goes back to the 'select team' screen which shows the whole squad.

I will then click on another position to select another player but when I do, the 'View' screen has defaulted back to 'All' rather than staying at '2'.

I want to know if it is possible to keep the 'View' menu at '2' without having to change it each time I select a new player.

I understood your problem because it was my problem too Smiley

Under menu's windows "view" and "team" it's a header for the columns with: rank/name/team/all time/last match/status - if you click on them the column it'll be ascending/descending select.

If you click on "rank" you'll have an ascending selection for players, so it'll start with 2* players and after continue with 3/4/5*. How many time you'll keep your "rank" ascending you'll see first your 2* players, even if you change the player position Wink

Also you can choose your selection ascending/descending for points/team name, etc.


Thank you Explorer17.

I understood properly this time and your instructions have solved the issue.

171  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 9/11 reality or conspiracy? on: September 10, 2017, 06:40:33 PM
I think people need to look at what we know.
We know the govt intelligence agencies had information that this type of attack was going to happen and at the very least the govt allowed it to happen.
We also know that members of the Saudi govt were implicated as being involved.
We know the Saudi's want to control the middle east and desperately want Iran to have little to no influence in the region.
We know the US govt is controlled by corporations and a military industrial complex.
We know these big players in the govt are greedy and evil.

So, just that alone tells me the govt was complicit in letting something happen that they had knowledge of.
Focusing on the scientific possibilities is sort of pointless and almost acts as a distraction to what we already know.

I mean, come on, there was legislation that allowed families to sue the Saudi govt for 9/11.... that seems to make it glaringly obvious that some members of the US govt know what happened.

Doesn't matter what happened in this video or that video. In the end all those videos and scientific studies are red herrings.

The big clue that there was collusion b/w the military industrial complex, the oil industry and major players within the US govt was the fact that we invaded Iraq 2 years after 9/11 for apparently no real reason other than to intimidate Iran and the rest of the influential countries in the region and to control resources. I'm not sure what more you need to see that this was more than just a well orchestrated plan pulled off by extremists living in the middle of Afghanistan.
++

You make some really good points. I would add the following:

Have a read of what some of the world's most prominent architects and engineers have to say about the collapse of the twin towers.

Read up on the story of Building 7 and how it collapsed despite not being hit in the attacks.

The sad thing is that there is enough evidence to raise serious questions about the official story we've been force fed about 9/11. However, even when faced with clear evidence, most people will just dismiss it.

This is because to take on that information would lead them eventually question everything about our world, our govts and our lives. It would be too painful for most people to accept that there are special interest groups inside and outside of govts. who call the real shots. And these people are psychopaths who will do anything to advance their own interests.

The armies we are encouraged to worship, the wars we are programmed to support are not there to protect us. They are there to serve the goals of their real masters, whether they know it or not.

It's much easier to watch Fox News and be a 'patriot'.

USA foreign policy is dictated by central banks and weapons manufacturers. They need a war soon for the following two reasons:

1. There is no profit in peace. War creates a need for more weapons to be made and sold.

2. The coming economic collapse in the USA will not be pretty and the distraction of a war will help to cover things up.

The $ trillions worth of rare earth metals under North Korean soil may also be a motivating factor for various parties to have an interest in controlling North Korea.

Do you believe all Muslims are bad? How do they differ from the terrorists?

You may want to share your thoughts.


When you get deep into the Islamic religion, you will find that devout Muslims are the one's who preach Jihad and other convince other's to commit those atrocious acts, its the very religion that's the problem, most religions promote peace and harmony among themselves but Muslims sometimes kill their fellow Muslims for not agreeing with them.

Which religions are you talking about that only preach peace and harmony and have never had any followers commit atrocities?

Also, you say 'Muslims sometimes kill their fellow Muslims for not agreeing with them' but that also works with any other group of people.

Americans sometimes kill their fellow Americans for not agreeing with them.

Football fans sometimes kill their fellow Football fans for not agreeing with them.

People who get drunk in bars sometimes kill their fellow People who get drunk in bars for not agreeing with them.

HUMANS sometimes kill their fellow HUMANS for not agreeing with them.

I would encourage you to read the Quran in its entirety rather than cherry-picking quotes which relate to specific enemies from specific time periods and trying to use that to claim that Muslims want to kill everyone all the time.

The 'kill them wherever you find them' refers to a specific group who were aggressors against muslims at that time.

The verse immediately before that says 'Fight in the cause of God against those who fight you and do not commit aggression'

The verse immediately after that says 'If they cease fighting then let there be no hostility except against aggressors'.

I understand you probably won't read the quran properly so maybe this video would be a good place for you to start:

No I don't. There is a clear difference between extremists and regular Muslims. A lot of people fail to see that.

No. There no clear difference between the two. The so called "extremist" Muslims behead the infidels (i.e non-Muslims) as per the verses of the holy Quran to establish the Islamic Caliphate. On the other hand, the "regular" Muslims don't behead the infidels. But they do support their extremist coreligionists, when they perpetrate genocide against the non-Muslims.

No we don't support our 'co-religionists' when they perpetrate genocide against non-muslims. ISIS have killed far more muslims than they have killed non-muslims.

When a bomb goes off in an airport or on a bus, it doesn't discriminate between the muslims and non-muslims. It kills everyone. We hate terrorist attacks even more than non-muslims.

Why?

Because not only are we just as likely to be victims of terror attacks but we then have to worry about our mothers, sisters, elderly parents etc being attacked in the street by anti-muslim thugs. We worry about the hostile reaction from our work colleagues when we see them. We worry about the media demonising us by creating sensationalist articles just to get more clicks.

We worry about ignorant people asking us why we don't do more to stop people like ISIS.

The truth is that most Muslims (like most people in general) aren't political and aren't very devout. But if an agenda-driven media keep showing you images of a hardcore minority and you lack the intelligence to think for yourself then it's understandable that you feel the way you do.

If the Rothschild-owned central banks want Bitcoin to become the world currency then it will.

But if they feel that it is threatening their monopoly on being able to create money out of thin air and then charge you interest to borrow it, they won't allow it to become dominant. If this is the direction we go in then you can expect unrelenting negative news coverage and creating a public perception of a link between bitcoin and terrorism.

That will be enough to convince the average person that bitcoin is something to be avoided.


178  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin Die Because of China? on: September 10, 2017, 02:04:59 PM
When it comes to economics, China think very differently to the Western govts. They understand that debt-based paper money has no real value in the long run so they are making many moves to control real assets such as Gold, Silver, Oil, fresh water, rare earth metals etc.

They know that cryptos and blockchain technology in general are going to play a big role in the future global economy so they won't kill off bitcoin.

The confusion surrounding their position on cryptos is most likely deliberate and may even be an attempt to drop the price so they can buy the dip (that could be the state itself or powerful individuals within the communist party).
