It is important to avoid migration of the population because it can lead to the destruction of the indigenous population.

That's exactly what is happening in the western world and countries such as Russia. The native population is getting replaced with immigrants (especially Muslims) from various third world nations. These countries should look at the example of Japan, where they are relying on automation and increased retirement age instead of immigration.

I think Russia and China will win the war. They got a well trained troops and I think they have a high powered weapon that is hidden and it is a counter part, unlike USA they are always exposing their weapons.

There is no need for any secret weapon. Even the existing nuclear weapons are capable of exterminating all the life from the earth many times over. So I don't understand the need for any new weapon.

No never, and I think that the person who can eat human he's an animal

Animals don't engage in cannibalism, with the rare exception of certain species such as chimpanzees. Cannibalism was more popular among humans than it was among any other species of mammals.

Another one, China's east may be a long way from the India border, but they'd also have a hard time shipping out their exports if war breaks out unless they can just go north and use routes on the Arctic. Travelling across the Pacific is not economical.

Russia has been trying to popularize the Arctic route (known as the Northeast Passage in the maritime dictionary) for quite some time now, but they haven't been very successful with it. Perhaps a future Sino-Indian war may make it happen.

I imagine the real satoshi should be laughing at these guys who say being satoshi

There can be three possibilities.

1. Real Satoshi is alive, and he wants to remain in complete anonymity.
2. Satoshi is dead.
3. Satoshi is not an individual, but a group of people. And none of them want to shed their anonymity.

QATART? NOT CHINA?

They are talking about per-capita wealth, and not about combined wealth. Even if you take the combined wealth in to account, China will be at the second place, far behind the United States.

Any good stories you guys have?  My friend got 500 BTC as a wedding present when they were $1 each. It came with a card that said "This is either going to be worth a ton of money one day, or I'm the dumbest person ever".

So what happened to those coins? Did your friend decided to hold them for long term, or did he cashed them out immediately? No one gave me such a present for my wedding. Poor me.  Huh
18988  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Would you eat a human? on: July 24, 2017, 02:09:28 AM
I will never eat a human bro but if there is nuclear war or something like that but I can eat only a human I will do it to survive because I dont wanna die becase maybe later war will pass and everything will be fine so I can live normal again.

There will be a lot of scenarios like a nuclear war, where the only option to stay alive is to consume human meat. Now if you talk about religious ethos and morals there, no one will listen to you. The only concern will be to survive somehow.
18989  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate christians? on: July 24, 2017, 02:06:36 AM
I don't see a solid reason to hate them, neither muslims...

If the Christians start to behave like the Muslims, then you will start to hate them. And that is exactly what is happening in places such as North-east India, where Christian terrorists are terrorizing the Hindus. Search for organizations such as NLFT and NSCN, and you'll get more information.
The only people who hates Christians are radicalized Muslims, they hate Christians and Jews with a great passion. Though i dont hate anyone i will be very offended if a so called Christian tarnish the image of Christians by doing abhor-able deeds.

Being a Hindu, I don't have a good opinion about the Christians in my country. There are a lot of radical and fanatical Christians here, who mock the Hindu religion. They also try to forcibly convert people to Christianity.
18990  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are terrorists only muslim in religion? on: July 24, 2017, 01:43:23 AM
serial killers are also terrorists. and they arent muslim.

If you could prove that their killings were motivated by religion, then you can call them as religious terrorists. There are a lot of examples out there. David Berkowitz was a born again Christian, who murdered women because he thought that Jesus Christ asked him to do so. Sampson Kanderayi was another fanatical Christian serial killer, who murdered his victims to appease the evil spirits.
18991  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Population on: July 24, 2017, 01:39:46 AM
It is necessary to force each family to give birth to no more than 1 child, because if you do not start controlling births, then the place will not be enough for the land. There are many single children in orphanages, but poor countries continue to give too much birth instead of sheltering a homeless child.

Already some of the nations such as China are having a strict one-child policy. And China has reaped the advantage of a low population growth during the 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century. India also experimented with a strict one-child policy during the 1970s, but it was never implemented (after the death of its mastermind, Sanjay Gandhi).
If China and India have equal problems with overpopulation, then in addition to these laws, they can even create a fictitious war between their countries. The government will still sit in its offices and people will exterminate each other. This way can really cut their numbers.

The problem with war is that it always kills the best people. The most intelligent people and the most hardworking ones are the first to die. On top of that, it will destroy the economy of the nation, which may take many decades to rebuild.
18992  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who is Putin? on: July 24, 2017, 01:38:03 AM
he is a Vepsian.

Yeah.... already covered here:

i only know that he is a Vepsian.

He is multi-ethnic, with mixed Russian, Vepsian and Karelian ancestry. But since he became active in the politics, he has tried to hide his non-Russian ancestry. His great-grandparents had the surname Putiaynen, which they changed to Putin after Russification. Once Putin was asked some media person whether he considers himself as a Vepsian or Karelian. Putin carefully avoided answering that.

BTW... I don't think that the Russians care much about his ethnic origin. Even his predecessor (Boris Yeltsin) was not 100% ethnic Russian. He was rumored to have some Vogul (Mansi) ancestry.
18993  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are we heading towards an Indo-China war? on: July 24, 2017, 01:35:33 AM
The Chinese are causing troubles everywhere that go and i dont know why they think that they can get away with everything that they do, and with their big land mass, why are they still fighting over small pieces of land. This is exactly what the Japanese were doing prior to the second world war.

They are indulging in bullying, because they know that they can get away with it. They have bullied almost all of the neighboring nations, and have received additional land area by threatening these countries. Even India fought a war against the Chinese almost 5 decades back, resulting in some 40,000 sq.km of Indian territory seized by the Chinese.

What, are you high (on weed)? Norwegian government is seen as very restrictive against refugees from the third world nations.

I don't think so. From what I have heard, the Muslim population in Norway, and especially that in Oslo, is growing very rapidly. Violent crimes by Muslims (especially rapes) have increased by manifold since 2000.
18995  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Cnn: " russia is a foe of the usa" on: July 24, 2017, 01:30:26 AM
CNN is a foe of the USA.

CNN is the foe of every peace-loving human being in this world. Look at the differences between the involvement of Russia and the United States in Syria. Russia is supporting the secular regime of Assad and is bombing the ISIS facilities. On the other hand, the Americans are supporting various non-ISIS hardline Islamist factions and occasionally these Islamists are defecting to the ISIS.

As much as  I've read somewhere recently, Trump stopped supporting the rebel groups, withdrew all the support going their way, so it looks a lot better than those 53 tomahawks earlier this year.

Just a few days ago, dozens of Syrian soldiers were killed in the eastern part of the country, in American airstrikes. The airstrikes were conducted to support the very same rebels. So I am not seeing any real change in the policy.

EU demands child benefit for its workers in UK - even for those born AFTER Brexit

I don't have much of a problem with it. You need to decide whether you want the Polish immigrants or the Somali immigrants. If it was happening in my country, then I'd happily welcome the Polish immigrants and give them child benefits.
18997  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you agree in death penalty? on: July 24, 2017, 01:27:08 AM
It's a stone age "eye for an eye"way of thinking.
If you die you are left of the hook. There is no punishment  in that, you are just dead
If you want to punish them, let them live with the consequences.

OK.. So you are saying that the murders and rapists must be set free without any punishment? I can't agree with that. Even if it is not "eye for an eye", if someone commits a crime and harm another human being, then he needs to be punished.
18998  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who will win WW3? on: July 24, 2017, 01:25:37 AM
russia and china.
they got soldiers, proper weapon, resource and history in war so their chance of winning is high but the result would still be in tactics and if the people fully support them.
I agree with you, the people factor between them is the largest over the world. If all of their people supported them it would be easy.

The demographic advantage with China/Russia can be neutralized, if India sides with US/NATO. But I really doubt whether India will do that, since that nation has been a trusted ally of Russia since ages.
18999  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Where would society be without the internet? on: July 24, 2017, 01:23:44 AM
Here in India, there is a district called Darjeeling. The government has banned internet there for more than a month now, and people are facing extreme hardships because of that. A lot of people are traveling up to 100 km, just to check their emails and bank account details. The internet ban was imposed by the chief minister of the West Bengal state (Momta Bonerjee), who is popularly known as the Kim Jong Un of India.

Why ban the Internet there? Shocked

Well, that was tough for the people of that district. I can't imagine the situation of people in which Internet became part of their lives.

It is quite tough and the people are facing a lot of difficulties. I personally can't stay away from internet for more than 2-3 days. If I can't connect to the net for more than that, then I'll go crazy. The reason for the ban was that the inhabitants of that district refused to comply with her orders to make Bengali language as a compulsory subject.

tomatoes have gotta be one of the most worthless foods out there. they don't taste of much but people stick them in everywhere.

maybe this will scare chefs into laying off them.

It is hard to imagine eating any of that stuff from fast food restaurants without tomato sauce. The consumption of tomatoes has increased along with the increase in consumption of fast food.
