When I deal with kids I don't worry about what political philosophy I have.  Some kids need kindness, others need independence, and others just need a strong role model.  There is no one correct way.  It is different for each kid and the mood that they are in at the moment.

You know what I find interesting, is that when Nefario breaks a contract and claims he has to because he has no other option, he gets a scammer tag.  When other people face the same situation they don't get a scammer tag.  Especially those that won't take responsibility for their investments.

I know, it just pisses me off that anyone could open a business and not know the risks involved.

if you were a partner (not a shareholder) in GLBSE then you are liable for the actions of GLBSE, which you allowed Nefario to run.  If GLBSE was registered as a corporation or a limited liability company, then you would only be liable for what you put into GLBSE.  If  you just opened a general partnership, well then you are fucked.

Most people should know, any deadline someone gives always double it.  So if someone says something will be done in a week, expect to receive it in two weeks.  Since this is Nefario take that time and multiply it by 10.

The point is, if a person does not know who to retaliate against then no retaliation can occur.  Retaliation of someone using a false name would only cause that person to lose that name.

Only if he or she used the land as collateral.  Otherwise, the creditor should have taken a life insurance policy out on the lender.

If the currency was human lives, then same thing.

Only if he or she used future generations as collateral.  Otherwise, the creditor should have taken the life of the lender.

I tried that game with someone else on the other side of the world while I was in an MRI.  The Alice 20 units and said whatever you give Bob will triple and they give back however much they want.  The more units the user had at the end, the more real money they study would give the participants.

I am sure my MRI showed revenge.  If I gave Bob all 20 units they would either keep it all or give me only a small profit, instead of splitting it evenly.

I did this MRI many times and some people could grasp the concept of what to normally but some people had either a steep learning curve or they would not understand at all.  I feel that tit-for-tat has 2 flaws.

1) Some people take offence to different things.  I wanted a 50/50 split of the profits I sent to Bob, so if I sent 20 units and now Bob has 60 units, they better send me back 30 units or I will retaliate (i.e. not give them any units the next round).  I have seen people get angry with overs from what they feel is offensive as they lost face and that offence could become violent.  Humans are emotional creatures, not rational ones.

2.  If there are no repercussions then there is no fear of reprisals.  Anonymity cannot exist.  If reprisals are OK then some kind of surveillance is required to give proof, otherwise anyone can say, "this person stole my things, I get to steal there things."  It is similar to, "this person is a witch, we should burn them," when in reality the accuser is just angry at the accused.

Nefario has told Meni that the asset lists are not complete.  It is not only GLBSE users that did not file claims or got double payments, some users that filed their claims and did not receive double payments are also not on the lists.  I can also say this is a fact as I tried to verify if I was in the list of an asset I held but the issuer said I was not and that there are many other people like me.

The lists are inaccurate.  We are dealing with the same person that sent over a thousand bitcoins to the people that already received their coins.  You can look in the posted GLBSE history to see if the shares were sold or not.

They already said they don't know.  They are even more incompetent than their users.

Oh that person has no bias.  This is exactly why schools should not teach sex education, they will bring in a nun to teach it.

The reporting of statistics of biomedical science involves three steps.
1.  Open SAS.
2.  Do as many statistical tests as SAS allows.
3.  Publish

In fact most biological sciences are like above, except for those in ecology, evolution, or computational biology.

What else would weapons be used for?

But do your research before commenting on where Israel gets it weapons.  It seems Israel likes to gear their military men and women with Glocks (Austria), Browning (Belgium), Baretta (Italy), H&K (Germany), and M4/M16 (USA).  They also have a large sizeable ammunition cache that originally was made in the Soviet Union.  This was obtained after defeating their enemies in war and capturing the weapons.  When getting to the sophisticated weapons, then that is mostly made in America, but where else would they get their fighter planes, Airbus?

Loved the titles, they have been awarded.  Truthfully, after giving these brave men the tag it would be hard to judge others worthy enough of receiving this honor.

Wow I had not been to this thread for a while because I thought it was dead.  I agree with the captcha.  It is a great idea.  Have to get rid of those mindless robots.  Maybe I should make a list in the OP of those users that are considered great as well.  Who else gets the Great tag?

What will all this nice brainstorming be used for?

It is always ok to fudge history for the sake of argument, right?

Their libertarianism can really be seen in their belief in qi and how they would use prepubescent girls to create the most jing.

Anyway, I thought the video was referring to the Yellow Turban Rebellion in China, but it seems they were different Taoists rebels and different Zhangs too.

Next there will be standardized testing on sex education.

If schools taught children how to critically think from their reading, writing, and math courses, then the students would be smart enough to know that there are directions on how to use a condom on the box it comes in.  They would also know that they can go online and read advise from people like Dan Savage.  Google is a great resource for knowing how to have sex.  Wikipedia has an entry for every sex position there is and it is not laced with pornography, but actual information.

The problem with children is not having basic knowledge, it is that children cannot assess risk like adults are able to do.  The way to develop ways to assess risk is to develop the skills needed to assess risk, such as critical thinking skills.  Schools are already loaded with pointless crap that distracts students from learning things that will actually benefit them in the future.  Many students that go to college must take remedial courses because the lack the basic logic and reasoning skills required to make a coherent sentence.

But writing is no big deal, they know how to use condoms and have anal sex.  They can fuck like a god, who cares if they can't read the directions on how to put on a condom, someone showed them how to.

Yes exactly, there are environmentalists that believe (yes believe because they can no do the scientific method themselves) that the world is going to end due to man-made global warming and that the only solution is state run socialism.  This does not mean global warming is not actually occuring.  The problem is their method of trying to fix the problem.

There is no such thing as scientistism.  There is only the method of science.  We see something curious or see a problem, make testable hypothesis (like is the surface temperature of the Earth increasing), and then run an experiment to test the hypothesis and have their findings peer-reviewed.

Didn't Caocao destroy the taoist rebellion?
