我不赞成,还是和异性结婚吧

If they want to legalize gay marriage, I think it depends on the government. In the liberated and open western countries, gay marriage can be legalized. And I think there's no problem in same-sex marriage as long as the couple doesn't do anything bad to other people.

You don't know anything about gay lifestyle and that is the reason why you are supporting gay marriage. Gay couples are not like heterosexual couples. They are not faithful to each other. Gay individuals will regularly have sex outside their relationship and it is more or less a norm among the LGBT couples.

Sometimes, the girls doesn't have much of a choice. In many broken families, the female household head may not be able to cover all the expenses and she may encourage her older daughters to get married early. I have seen numerous examples of this in my area.
16143  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the predicted value for BTC in end of 2018?????? on: January 25, 2018, 07:05:47 AM
Right now the prices are hovering at around $11K to $12K per coin. I am very hopeful about 2018 because of two factors. First, there is a possibility that a Bitcoin ETF will get approved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). And secondly, NASDAQ is going to list BTC futures sometime in the mid-2018.
16144  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: January 25, 2018, 07:02:59 AM
i think, bitcoin trading is very profitable and there is no risk if you trade the bitcoin because bitcoin are getting much more stronger day by day and there a lot of people are buying bitcoin and then holding bitcoin for the future.

Typical BS post from a newbie member. All these guys want is to increase their post-count and earn Bitcoins by enrolling in to signature campaigns. If there was no risk involved with Bitcoin trading, then half of the world population would be trading in crypto. And the exchange rates would be close to $1 million per coin.
16145  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: January 25, 2018, 07:00:26 AM
I think bitcoin doesn't help to solve the problem of world poverty, because that he is like any other investment like gold or diamonds or stocks. The rich will use it to solved this problem if they want to do a lot of adjust a team work then solved this problem.

It can be used to alleviate poverty to some extent, just like the other assets. For example, if someone donates all his gold to the poor people, then at least some of them will use that gold to get out of poverty. Same with Bitcoin as well. If some Bitcoin billionaire donates all his coins to the poor, then a lot of people could be rescued out of poverty. But it is never practical. In most of the cases the poor are going to use these free handouts to purchase alcohol and drugs.

I don't understand why the new users are so jealous about those who invested in BTC early. Bitcoin is in existence since 2009. Everyone was free to make their investments in it and still only a very few did. Those who made their investments in 2010 and 2011 took a lot of risk in doing that, and in the end they were rewarded for their risk.
16147  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Bitcoin is legal in India on: January 25, 2018, 06:54:56 AM
Because now many people are using it, the government will not take such a stupid decision, contrary to the will of most citizens.

They have already sent tax notices to 100,000+ users. Unfortunately, in a country of 1.3 billion people, the voice of a few hundred thousand doesn't matter much. Especially if the political parties are dependent on 99% of the population, who happens to be welfare rats.
16148  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Has anyone sold BTC won here in sig campaigns? how does tax work? on: January 25, 2018, 06:52:25 AM
Bitcoins earned from signature campaigns and bounties count as ordinary income and they don't qualify for lower tax rates as capital gains. But then, the most important question is whether we should pay tax on those coins which are still in our wallet or not. Ideally, I would pay taxes only on those coins which I sold for fiat. But if Bitcoin is ordinary income, then we need to pay tax on all our coins, right?

Bitcoin is not an ordinary income because you're unable to directly cash it out from your wallet. If I could pay my taxes in Bitcoin I'd gladly do so directly, but if i'm forced to use an exchange to convert to fiat and pay fees along the way, no thank you. Nobody will make me pay taxes from tokens that are lying on some address without my name on it and that I can't spend on anything in my country but have to use an exchange first. Next thing they'll make us pay taxes for tokens earned in computer games just because theoretically we can exchange them to money on ebay.

Whether you like it or not, the government want you to pay taxes on your signature campaign earnings and airdrop tokens. With each passing day, they are eliminating loopholes which can be used by crypto-users to avoid taxes. Very soon, we will be required to give details of our crypto-holdings. If we hide our holdings, then they will proceed with tax evasion charges.
16149  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Why PayPal does not like BitCoin sellers? on: January 25, 2018, 06:48:41 AM
None of the businesses like competitors. Until 2016/17, Bitcoin was regarded as one of the major competitors of Paypal. And it was quite natural for the PayPal guys to do whatever they could to harass the Bitcoin users. Moreover, Bitcoin is not much favored by the governments. So even if PayPal bans users for Bitcoin trade, the users are not going to get any legal help.

It is quite irritating to see posts in Malay and Russian made in the English language sections of this forum. When I first joined this forum in 2013/14, most of the users were educated and well mannered. But times have changed. The sharp rise in the exchange rate of Bitcoin has attracted uneducated filth from every nook and corner of the globe. The quality of the posts have gone down drastically. Only a few posters such as Vod and BurtW (Burt Wagner) are maintaining the quality.
16151  Other / Politics & Society / Re: MY government sucks! on: January 25, 2018, 06:38:05 AM
do u think ur goverment is the best or sucks ass?

Here in India, the current government is not doing that bad, and indeed I would even say that they are much better than the ones we had until 2014. But obviously some sore points are there, such as the increasing tax burden and the lack of real progress. But now everyone is getting adjusted to it.
16152  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Fastfood can potentially Kill Us! on: January 25, 2018, 06:35:46 AM
All types of Fast food are not good for human body. Because so many chemicals are added to get taste that fast foods. there for health conditions of human body is reduce. There are two potential threats to a person eating fast food. That is Diabetes and Heart disease. Therefore i think we should not eat fast foods daily.

Diabetes and heart disease is caused by the consumption of salt beyond a tolerable limit and due to the lack of exercise. Consumption of fast food may be having an impact, but you can't blame it as the main culprit. In my area, diabetes has almost become like an epidemic and even those who have never tasted fast food have fallen ill from that disease.
16153  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Same-sex marriage on: January 25, 2018, 05:27:04 AM
I don't think  that same sex marriage is a sin. It is not your fault if you fell in love with someone who has the same gender as you are.As long as both or each of you respect each other then that's good.

OK.. It is not a sin to love someone of the same gender (still I wouldn't consider it to be a normal thing). But what is the point in recognizing such relationships as marriage and then giving welfare payments and legal protection to these people? Homosexual couples can be tolerated. But they can never be given equal rights as the heterosexual couples.
16154  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What should be done to eliminate corruption? on: January 25, 2018, 05:24:13 AM
First of all, the general population must show absolutely no tolerance for corruption. The corrupt officials must be identified and then shamed in public. After this, these officials must be jailed and all of their property must be confiscated. In case of high-end instances of corruption, even death sentences can be considered.
16155  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you think about being Vegetarian/Vegan ? on: January 25, 2018, 05:11:49 AM
For me, being vegetarian is making our lives healthy. I salute to the people doing this because its not that easy. Especially when you get used to exposed to meat. But if ever since your family and all the people around you are doing this, then it would not be hard for you.

I don't think that the vegetarians are more healthy when compared to the non-vegetarians. It all depends on your diet and how much exercise you do. A non-vegetarian who consume fatty food in moderation and works out daily will be in a much better shape and health when compared to a vegetarian who never does exercise and consumes a lot of fatty food.
16156  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who is now the leader of the world? on: January 25, 2018, 05:09:13 AM
It seems to me that a global leader is America. Trump is not the best and intelligent President but he is the whole political machine in America. This is a very powerful force and equal to it at the moment. The role of personality is of great importance but the main importance is the country. America's economy is the biggest sings and the impact of it the greatest in the world.

The United States may be the only super-power in the world right now, but Donald Trump is definitely not the most powerful leader. That honor goes to Vladimir Putin of Russia. Trump is a good leader, but he doesn't command much respect around the world. Even his own party and its leaders are now rebelling against him.
16157  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Decrease Population on: January 25, 2018, 05:06:17 AM
What do you think is the best way to decrease population?

Nuclear war.
My friend, I think you're right, but I don't think it's the best way.

I think the long-term effective way is family planning control.

Why not? Family planning is not very effective, as there will be a lot of loopholes. On top of that, it takes a lot of time to get the population under control using this method. On the other hand, a nuclear holocaust can be very effective as only cockroaches are going to survive the catastrophe. It is a very fast-acting and effective method of population control.
16158  Other / Politics & Society / Re: VIRGINITY before getting married on: January 25, 2018, 04:28:32 AM
Its not important because if you really love the person it doesnt matter. What important is you love and respect each other.

Absolutely spot on. If you are really in love with someone, then his or hers past relationships doesn't matter. And trust me, sex is not a big thing. Something that happened for 10 minutes or 15 minutes duration can't be used to tarnish the reputation of someone. But sex with someone else while being in a relationship is bad.
16159  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Fastfood can potentially Kill Us! on: January 25, 2018, 04:22:25 AM
Fastfood cant kill us when you know your limit..obviously those that eat too much have the potential to get any disease from it..eat fast moderately,

Rather than avoiding fast-food, we should rather focus on exercising. I am not saying that you can have 10 Big Macs a day. Fast food must be consumed in moderation and at the same time at least 15 to 30 minutes every day must be dedicated to workouts. A healthy diet with no exercise can be more harmful than a bad diet with plenty of exercise.
16160  Other / Off-topic / Re: Philippines on: January 25, 2018, 03:57:28 AM
Philippines is my country and i am proud of being filipino and  It is absolutely a good vacation destination if you are looking to experience the culture and the friendly people

I have heard that the Filipinos are very friendly people. I would like to visit Philippines one day. But there are a few irritants with that plan. There are very few direct flights from India to Philippines. On top of that, there is no visa on arrival facility for Indian nationals. It is a hassle to get a Filipino tourist visa, at least when compared to those from Thailand and Singapore.
