So much analysis into a grammatical mistake? The very definition of modern feminism, while actual women are raped and beheaded. The END I hate it when people divert from the issue by suggesting there are worse issues out there. Can we not be worried about multiple things at the same time?

I must admit, the study linking religiosity and IQ, if that's what we're talking about here, was severely flawed because it was more of a link between poverty, access to education, nutrition, and IQ

Taxation is theft. Anyone who says taxes are voluntary or they're paying taxes only because they wish to "help" or maintain their nation are only suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
You are only lying to yourself, you'd be arrested if you didn't pay your taxes. The IRS is the most heavily armed organization apart from the military and the local police departments.
That's not voluntaryism, it's extortion, theft, and extraction of funds from the working class so they can be used for illegal settlements in Palestine, expanding military bases in the Middle East, and stretching the disturbing surveillance program that the National Security Agency calls PRISM.

Interesting, you don't need to tell that you own bitcoin. Since they don't recognize it as money.
Exactly. Plus they'll never ever know

Everyone I know that has any sort of intelligence know about bitcoin. Why? Because I've told them. I frequently comment on politics in casual conversation, and any time I've got someone who can obviously reason, I divert to economics/currency issues, and bring up bitcoin. Most have heard about it already, but know nothing about it. I usually tell them something like "It's like emailing money, but there is no central bank, corporation, or government controlling it." Pretty much everyone hates one of the three. Their questions direct the conversation after that. It get's easier to more you talk about it. At first it was hard to answer questions eloquently. I've got 7 people who are holding bitcoins now, that weren't when I talked to them. Two years ago there was 0, and even friends that were well versed in economics, monetary policy, and markets were unaware of bitcoin. We're up at least 50x since then, but it's still a very insignificant figure.
I know people who thought mining was "generating free money" hahaha

Yeah because atheists are proven to have a much higher IQ There are no studies about it. Yet, you can be theist either by knowing and unknowing your religion, most people falls under the second group. For the first group, if out of so much incongruence and incoherences present on all holy books you still believe it, then you've a logical handicap. Taken IQ measures the logical and mathematical abilities, I believe that atheists have a higher IQ score than "knowing theists". EDIT: Forgot to add honesty to equation. I believe many religious leaders are atheists, but dishonest enough to take advantage of it. Believers are easy to exploit, sheep waiting to be sheared. So some "claim to be believers" may actually be atheists inside. Here are the series of studies

That guy is very credible. No doubts. If Christians are to be moral because of their love of God and not out of fear, then why are curses for disobedience and prophecies of punishment found so frequently in the OT, and why does Jesus mention hell so often in the NT? Because Jesus loves you so much, he created a special place for those who don't love him back, a place where they burn for eternity. And that makes him a psychopath. You can't force someone to love you, it comes naturally. Do you have some link that demonstrate such claims? Your conclusions seem to become more and more idiotic. Are you claiming that hell doesn't exist according to Christianity?

At least fiat is backed by state sponsored terrorism Bitcoin is not
You have no guarantee with cryptocurrencies
You also have no guarantees with fiat. Yes some guy claims it's guaranteed but that's not worth anything. The biggest guarantee is the petro-dollar

Why do people say stupid shit like "Oh, females suffer from the persecution complex!"?
Excuse me.
Women can't: 1) Drive in Saudi Arabia. 2) Vote in Saudi Arabia and the Vatican. 3) Testify in cases of adultery (ie rape) in Yemen. 4) Get an abortion in various parts of the world, including Ecuador (unless if they are an "idiot") 5) Get justice if they get raped. On the contrary, they get blamed for it in places like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. 6) Leave their house without their husband's permission in Yemen. 7) Get "power" degrees (ie degrees in the STEM fields) in various countries around the world. 8 ) Get justice if they were assaulted by an athlete in America. 9) Get justice if they were victims of a gang rape in India. 10) Get justice if they were trafficked to work in the sex trade industry in a foreign country. On the contrary, the US usually deports those who try to seek help, making the situation even worse.
Women are: 1) Still treated like sex objects by the mainstream media. 2) Still underrepresented in science and politics. 3) Still being told what to wear- whether it is through burqa ban laws or compulsory hijab laws. 4) Still forced to marry against their will in various parts of the world.
When was the last time any feminist group screamed and cried to defend their muslim sisters and their rights in public? Instead you find that $20 bad designed bitgirl's website to be too offensive. "OMG! They used " The"! Can you believe it? " The!" OMG OMG!!!!!!" Then you would point to how amazingly positive for the cause of women a million $$ website like kink.com is great for the female image, backed by the endorsement of multiple big names in the media on their front page. Not saying "you" as in " The You" posting on bitcointalk" but all people (women and men) sharing that way of thinking. Hypocrite much? How am I a hypocrite for criticizing the objectification of women? Would you like it if there was a picture of you up there, going "How much for the Wilikon?" You're changing the topic by bringing up kink.com Trust me. If the picture of The Wilikon was on that website they would lose money. Regarding kink.com, your reaction is remarkable. The use of " The" is more important, defining what a sexual object a woman can be on a website (made by one dude it seems) none of us heard of than how the women on kink.com are paid to be used at (living urinal pretty much). A website and a location in San Fran, developed and maintained with a budget of hundreds of thousands a year by a full staff. I thought the main subject of this thread was how women's image as sexual objects was reprehensible. I do not deny that fact. I was merely pointing to other more famous, bigger money making websites, defended by many feminists as a victory for the image of women, and promoted by the main stream media, on their homepage. How am I changing the topic? Have you ever visited kink.com? Some women are so flexible they make Mr. Fantastic's sphincter playing with a bowling ball cries with envy... So, you're implying that because kink.com does it, it's okay in this case? If that was your counter statement (kink.com did it too), it has no relevance in particular to what we're discussing here."Sexual objectification of women" - does this mean that men want to fuck women ?
No, objectification is defined as "the seeing and/or treating a person as an object.". Your miserable attempt at trying to justify it by claiming it's biological is disturbing. I'm a man who does not see women like property, so your comparison to castigating a Labrador Retriever for fetching sticks is an abusive analogy. So, you're implying that because kink.com does it, it's okay in this case?I was implying because feminists love the way women are used and abused at kink.com, and because you have chosen to look the other way by your statement it has no relevance in particular to what we're discussing here you have made clear you do not care about women. At all. THAT is what I was implying. You can start the little acrobat in your head to re encode what was clearly stated above by The Wilikon... I did not know of kink.com to speak against it, so your argument is invalid.

I thought this was your last warning? Why do you keep creating new threads?
This time he promised

Maybe I should set up a bot that creates a new address every second, and send a small amount to it so it shows up on the blockchain. Then have the bot send from that address to a new one 1 second later. Rack up a million satoshis lol
Don't forget that you need to pay 10000 satoshi as transaction fee for each of your transactions lol. That's easy, just use faucets

It is a perfectly legitimate question if there is a financial means test for disability benefits.
Sure it's legitimate! If the question was beneath the question asking if you have any funds in PayPal, of which would be above the question asking if you have any funds in Dwolla. Then, followed by, do you own a piggy bank to store your loose change?That's an excellent analogy

Oh and don't forget the fact that they advocate child abuse. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+23%3A13-14
Proverbs 23:13-14New International Version (NIV) Saying 13
13 Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die. 14 Punish them with the rod and save them from death.
This one I've bolded particularly makes me laugh, lets see them worm out of this quote. That's not the first pedophilic reference Pedophilic has a sexual connotation. You should look back your definitions. Numbers 31:16-17 is about God telling the barbaric savages (Christians) to plunder and rape, massacring all the children, and the non-virgin girls, but to save all the virgin little girls for yourself. You are obviously pulling conclusion and twisting contexts. Can you share us the socio-military-politico context of these nations so we can understand better the situation? Your emotional responses doesn't give you any credibility and show that you are not interested to understand precisely what were the motivations. Numbers 31 7 They fought against Midian, as the Lord commanded Moses, and killed every man. 8 Among their victims were Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba—the five kings of Midian. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. 9 The Israelites captured the Midianite women and children and took all the Midianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. 10 They burned all the towns where the Midianites had settled, as well as all their camps. 11 They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, 12 and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses and Eleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho. 13 Moses, Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. 14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army—the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—who returned from the battle. 15 “Have you allowed all the women to live?” he asked them. 16 “They were the ones who followed Balaam’s advice and enticed the Israelites to be unfaithful to the Lord in the Peor incident, so that a plague struck the Lord’s people. 17 Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, 18 but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. Your red quotes didn't give any more context to understand the motivations. Maybe I should teach you something about critical thoughts? To understand the context and motivations I would be interested to know what exactly were those Balaam's advice. Was it to kill all Israelites and rape their childrens while they were peacefully living side by side? Was the red quote's a response to a direct threat to their own existence? But my guess is that you are not interested to understand something but just proving your emotive point. Are you really trying to justify that barbarianism?
