rofl. I'm just going to assume you know what I meant.

I'm not arguing that prevention doesn't save lives. I'm arguing that prevention need not be coercive.

How do you suggest we prevent drunk driving?

The thing is, that suing someone after I'm dead doesn't bring me back to life. Throwing knives at people might not kill them, but it's risky. Do you think throwing knives at people is legal? Drunk drivers kill thousands every year. Thus, drunk driving should be illegal. Prevention saves lives. Raising the insurance of the drunk driver will not bring me back to life.

It is refundable, however. I can sell the bonds to someone else later on. In fact, I expect a certain amount of liquidity.

News! I am selling bonds for 1 BTC with a face value of 0.001 BTC each. They pay 200% weekly interest and are 100% insured. A buyback can be placed at any time for the face value.

If you just look around Newbies, it's a mess. Most of the spam and garbage and trolls with 1-post accounts saying "positive paypal trade" doesn't make it to the rest of the board, and that's good.

That simply doesn't work for cars. A new, unsupervised driver is just as dangerous as a drunk one. I would much rather have drunk driving be illegal than simply suing after the driver has killed a family. Likewise, I would prefer a person who is 12 and has never driven before not drive on the highway. "Don't hit me" doesn't quite cut it, because when they do hit me, I could be dead.

I really did mean "don't drive while intoxicated near me."

Unnecessarily risky behaviors (risky towards others) should be outlawed, so that we can practice prevention.


Translate that to guns (please stop reading here and answer the above first if you disagree with the above) and we get "don't use a firearm irresponsibly near me." Because when you do so, you risk killing me. I don't want people killing me, AND I don't want people to risk killing me. If there is a better way than certification, please speak up and I will wholeheartedly endorse it.

May I ask why the thread isn't locked?

But if you pay 1.5 for it, and pirate defaults, then you lose 33%. Surely a bond which can cause a 33% loss of investors' money at any moment is not 100% insured. "Face value" is a worthless term, because bonds almost never cost their face value (even in the real world). It's like saying "I'll give you 200% PPS of 0.5 MH/s!!!11one"

How many people are killed every year by popcorn pillows? If it is a significant number relative to population, then there should be mandatory certification for the legal operation of a popcorn pillowcase.

Just like cars.

That wasn't neccessary. I gave you an amicable response and ended with an equally friendly valediction.

Nobody can fall from a bed and hurt me (well I don't use "bunk" beds). They can certainly hurt me with a gun though.

This was posted early on in the thread:


Don't smoke near me
Don't drive while intoxicated near me
Don't give me an infectious disease
Don't drive without a license near me
Don't use a firearm irresponsibly near me
Don't do drugs near me either, unless there's no chance of my inhaling it or otherwise being exposed

And that pretty much covers it. The rest is choices (I won't have a 12th beer, thanks) or force (drink the goddamn beer before I rape you and force-feed you tobacco)

Wow! Someone else can do math!

Also, boy oh boy the "insured" pirate market has exploded. From 1 to 5 (YARR, GIPPT, Tygrr-something, Hashking's, and the original PPT.X) in what, a few weeks?
Hey, competition is good. It's just that I don't know if my analysis thread title can fit many more names

Oh boy.

Here we go

Gun accidents are special, because they happen frequently and do a lot of damage. All tools which cause  a significant number of fatalities/injuries each year should require mandatory, free certification. Including cars and guns. Do you want someone who has never driven before driving unsupervised on the highway? I certainly don't. There are enough drunk drivers (about 1 in 10, but after midnight it's about 1 in 3) ready to kill me already. I also don't want someone fiddling with their new gun on Main Street, nor do I want them leaving it cocked on the table for their kids to find.

Then I assume that nobody is allergic to "Natural flavors"

Waay underpriced IMO & BMC (by my calculations)

Which is why I'm buying some

GLBSE's Market page is sorted by "Total Vol฿"

Ever read the ingredients label on a coke can? It's all there. They just don't tell you the proportions or how they make their "artificial flavoring"

Grr... it's not a gambling game, it's an experiment.

That's fine. My demand wi be going elsewhere, though.

Have a nice day
