CoinCollect, you demonize sex as if it were something to be ashamed about. Your mom had sex, so did your dad, so did my mom, and so did my dad, and so did their parents too. It's natural, it's one of the seven biological characteristics of life, commonly referred to as mating, reproduction, but familiar to us as love.

What is your problem with citizens having sexual intercourse for money? They are only using their bodies for their personal gain, you are unaffected. If you do not like prostitution, do not buy a prostitute. As for your other vulgar remarks about having sex on trains or public areas, you need to understand that the human body is nothing to be ashamed of. We are born without clothing, and in most regions, in an era where religion didn't govern through the state, humans wore just enough to keep them warm. Don't let the state tell you what to wear or where to reproduce.

You claim that Islam would prevent incestuous sex, alcoholism, and gambling. Yet, famous leaders and citizens of predominantly Islamic states of the world all consume alcohol and gamble.

It is disturbing that you claim that an adult industry entertainer such Lisa Ann should be killed for simply doing what she wishes with her body. What about all the men that watch her works on television? I'm going to be honest with you buddy, I didn't even know who Lisa Ann was before I googled her name, if you think porn is so detrimental, why do you know the names of porn artists, such as Lisa Ann?

This neat little, I like to call it a diagram, will help you out on Libertarianism.

Definitely the class system, not only between Rose and Jack but also between the different classes of passengers.



This is by far the most intelligent and unique response I've seen to this question.

Pentesting's quite the upgrade over the "business" of taking out loans you don't intend to pay off.

Where's my money, rg?

I doubt he owes you anything, since you have only made two posts on the forums, both of them off-topic rants about "where's my money?"
1885  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people hate islam? on: September 24, 2014, 03:02:34 PM
Simply because Islam is the best and prevent some actions like Alcohol, fuck in street, Gamble etc.. which europe and American people like. so Its a terrorist for them, etc..

They forget that hitler was chrisitian xD

Anyway proud to be muslim.

And I'm proud that I stand up for Liberty, against fascist tyrannical states that want to take away your right to consume whatever you will, mate with people you love (even if they're of the same-sex, something which you'd want them to get beheaded for), and have the liberty to spend their money where they want to, even if its gambling.

I could pay bills, rent a house, and buy foods for a year with $9k. Just wonder how many idiots will spend their money for this.

I think this is satire

"Money is outmoded."
Around the 0:55:05 Mark:
"All transactions are through codes. "


Do you think this is a Bitcoin reference?

You're asking whether a film that came out in 1993 has a bitcoin reference in it? No.

I misspoke, I didn't mean to use the word "reference"
1889  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin predicted in 1993 dystopian film "Demolition Man"? on: September 24, 2014, 11:55:37 AM

I don't think so, it's more likely a reference to bank cards, which people now use instead of cash (and operate through encoded account numbers). 

In my view it means that P2P commerce has been eliminated and all transactions are mediated and approved by the 'authorities'.

Probably no reference to crypto codes.  Bitcoin functions more like cash.

Great movie, though.  And strangely predictive.  The script was based on Huxley's 'A Brave New World' is my understanding.

I've read Brave New World, they're nothing alike buddy


From Wikipedia:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition_Man_%28film%29

"Some aspects of the film allude to Aldous Huxley's dystopian novel, Brave New World."

"based on" is a poor choice of words.

I've read parts of the book.  We might replace Fordism with Zuckism.  Facebook doesn't just enable people to connect with each other, it mediates and organizes the communications in ways that influence behavior.

The result is a kind of enforced conformity which results in massive profits for a very few, and poverty for everyone else (that's the whole point of the design of the system).  This alludes to the world depicted in the movie, where an invisible starving population lives underneath an affluent and secure one.

My point is that it is the rebels living underground who would be the ones who would use bitcoin.  And it would be outlawed, of course.  The DarkWallet project is a case in point.  I think the devs see themselves as being part of a rebellion.



Damn it, that just blew my mind

The FTC finally shut down BFL.

The conspiracy theorists were right

So were the forum members, and the reddit guys
http://cryptoconspiracy.com/butterfly-labs-shutdown-by-the-us-government-following-a-court-case/
I am not sure how much the forum as a community (or any member of the forum) had to do with this. They have been under investigation for a long time (there was an article several months ago how one of the "higher ups" of BFL was on probation for mail fraud, and one condition of his parole (or may prohibition, I am not 100% sure which) was that he not run any kind of "gambling" operation, and the PO was arguing that BFL was a gambling operation because of how it's preorder system works

No there were guys on the forums claiming there was an FTC bust
1891  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: FORUM MEMBERS RIGHT, FTC causes BFL to shut down. Rumors confirmed as fact. on: September 23, 2014, 10:51:28 PM
No, I was sarcastically mocking the people on this forum who scream how Government is Satan incarnate but cheer when it finally takes down true scum like Sonny/Zerlan/BFL

Don't forget the mega HYIP fund raising last week that included CryptcoMiner
1892  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: FORUM MEMBERS RIGHT, FTC causes BFL to shut down. Rumors confirmed as fact. on: September 23, 2014, 10:37:28 PM
I for one, am sick of the American Government sticking its hand into the businesses of its citizens and true captains of industry like BFL. The free market will decide when BFL gets shut down for scamming people over and over, not the FTC/Courts.

You're a free market libertarian?

so was the BFL raid a rumor ?  only references i get are Reddit or this forum for that story.  I am guessing rumor.

No Taven,

Are you blind?

His time posting was Today at 10:27:44

Yours is 12:56:29

Can you tell time?


Just pointing out there is no reason to clutter the forum with repeat posts.  But I understand why the other thread wasn't noticed....his title sucked.

Never mind, I thought he was talking about his post, not Icon's

Just kidding!

Speculation on top of speculation reported as fact, posted to the forums. Just delete this shit.

Although your title is better, there is already a thread discussing this topic:

Down's children have a lot more positives than negatives in terms of character. If he wants to get rid of people on the basis of imperfections lets start with psychopaths and sadists. Laughably all of these toe rags would have passed is subjective little test! Lets think just for one minute how the world will be when scientists are allowed to play God. Who exactly is going to define perfect in 10 years, 20 years, 30 years as the human quest for a marketing man's ideal person reaches ever more ridiculous specifications?

You can detect whether someone is going to be a psychopaths or a sadist in the womb?  Roll Eyes

Gene technology is progressing us to that point

One good side of gene tech detection: less people like dawkins in the future?  Roll Eyes



I'm thinking we can use it to get rid of people like Honeypot to be honest  Grin. Jk, I'm not a Nazi eugenicist unlike him.

Unless you were implying so in an optimistic manner. You could declare education and health care a human right, not a privilege to those who can afford it (like in 'Murka!). Once you make education readily available to all citizens regardless of race/sex/religion, the world would see a much smaller chance of producing more HoneyPots

@DhaniBoy

Then why aren't Muslims more secure and prosperous? Because you guys are neither!

Quote
the crime rate there is much decreased

No, my friend, Islam has no low crime rate, it has LEGAL crime. Many things Sharia allows you to do, like pedophilia, would send you directly to jail everywhere else in the planet.

@awesome31312

History and Legends are different subjects. Unlike most religions where someone claims someone else was talking to God, Muhammad is the only one who was bold enough to say "I'm talking to God".
Hold up, Sharia doesn't allow you pedophilia, are you crazy? Get your facts straight and read from good books you find in libraries, not Ebooks you found for free online.

That's really silly. The same "good books you find in libraries" can be found for absolutely free of cost on the internet, notably, in torrent form on here

And to the other guy, pedophilia was and is more rampant in the Catholic Church.
