Is there any evidence to prove this? I don't know why the super-powers are doing this. The Americans and their allies arming the ISIS in Syria, and Russia arming the Taliban in Afghanistan. Where is this going to end?
From where for you information about that Americans and their allies supply with the weapon of ISIS? Did it dream you, or you have data that it will confirm? These secret services of Russia can not give, Russians I disbelieve.

It has been confirmed that the American weapons ended in the hands of the ISIS. In 2014, the Americans armed the FSA, and many of the FSA factions later defected to the ISIS taking their American weapons along with them.

Ukrainians do not like their power. This particular mentality, but they are very patient and try to change the power in the elections. Russian special spread myths about what Western and Eastern Ukraine can't live together. This is not a problem. Moreover a lot of tourists from Russia visit the lions and have no problems. Crimea will return to Ukraine and will not have problems between Ukrainians, Russians and Tatars.

Well, considering that 98% of voters said yes to integration with Russia I don't understand how will Crimea return to Ukraine. If you mean by force, than you have to move those 2 milions people somewhere.

Certain people still have difficulty in admitting the fact that Crimea will never become a part of Ukraine again. The better they come to their senses, that better. The only group which doesn't approve of the Russian rule in Crimea is the Tatars. And they are less than 15% of the population.
It is not so simple. In 2014, people are deceived and many already know it. They are silent because they are afraid of reprisals. Firstly, the referendum was illegitimate and the votes were rigged, and second Crimea for the Russians it is a bleeding wound which will lead to infection of the whole organism. Already a lot of Russians do not support the annexation of Crimea and believe that it will be better if Crimea is part of Ukraine.

If the ordinary Russians are against the annexation of Crimea, then Putin's approval ratings would have been much lower than the current level of 85%. Also, the Crimeans are happy with their economic situation, at least when compared to the complete chaos and poverty in Ukraine.
19183  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ukraine - a victim of immorality West against Russia on: August 22, 2017, 06:41:01 AM
The problems in Ukraine were created by the Ukrainians themselves. Blaming Russia will not do any good. Look at how the living conditions have dropped after Poroshenko was elected as the president in 2014. The Hryvnia has been devaluated by almost 300%, and inflation is close to 30%.
Certainly, would be foolish to blame Russia in everything, but that this country supplies with a weapon to the terrorists on East of Ukraine is a fact. And so yes, Poroshenko and his company will take Ukraine to the very bad consequences.

Eastern Ukrainians are mostly Russian speaking and are pro-Russia in their political views. So the Russian support was only natural. But right now Poroshenko is using the conflict to hide the looting of Ukrainian wealth by his cronies.
19184  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S vs Russia. Who will win by adapting and utilizing the crypto market? on: August 22, 2017, 05:08:40 AM
Oh, really BTC is banned in China and Russia?
Wow, sounds weird for me, why wouldn't they ban those huge chinese mining pools then?
Same thing for Russia - why Putin's aide is seeking for $100 million donation to rival China in BTC mining?

Sooo weird Huh

It's more like a de facto ban, rather than a de jure ban. As per the criminal code, BTC is not a banned article. But the authorities will create trouble if you plan to do something with the Bitcoins.
19185  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russia is the most aggressive country on: August 22, 2017, 05:06:38 AM
Russia is agressive because the media shows that.
But there is some countries which are more agressive and violent. Like USA, France, Israël ...

The numbers speak for themselves. During the last 7 decades, Russia has invaded a single country (Afghanistan), and that too at the request of the elected government. On the other hand, the Americans have invaded more than 70 nations and are still having military bases in some of these nations (including Germany, Saudi Arabia, and Japan).
19186  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you feel about the death penalty? on: August 22, 2017, 05:01:19 AM
I am well disposed to the death penalty, but if it is not publicly publicized, because children can see it. Murderers should not live, but the death penalty must be carried out hidden from society.
Executions can not be published, the death penalty must be hidden.

Same here. I don't want the executions to be made public. There is no point in beheading someone in front of the public (just like what they do in certain Islamic nations), no matter how brutal his crimes are. It will only help to make the people more violent.
I dont think it should be hidden, these executions should be made public so that it becomes a deterrent to those who commit crimes like that, I dont know how the Thai's execute those are charged with the death penalty, I have always been a fan of the French Guillotine.

In Thailand they used to have the firing squad. But in 2001, it was replaced by lethal injection. And the last execution in Thailand was carried out in 2009, and after that there seems to be a moratorium.

And the last person to be executed through guillotine was Muslim rapist and murderer Hamida Djandoubi (on September 10, 1977).

Well the world will still exist, what will extinct is the social life, people will stop interact with others.

That's possible. People will be living in virtual reality. Jobs will be gone thanks to the AI. Direct interactions will stop and people will communicate to each other only through social media. What's more, even the sex will be virtual. Individuals will be having sex with artificial sex dolls and virtual animated figures.

^^^^ This is ridiculous. The volcanic activity is very localized. Considering the size of Antarctica, you can't blame volcanic activity for the melting of glaciers situated thousands of km far from each other.

I think that Confederations Cup showed that situation is OK, didn't it?
That's not going to happen, really, no one will win from that scenario Huh

All this talk about shifting the venue is pure nonsense. It is too late for any of that. At the most, a few of the nations will boycott the event, and these nations will later face fines and bans from the FIFA.
19190  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The Negro Race is Objectively Inferior on: August 22, 2017, 04:51:09 AM
It is true that racial origin plays a major role in the intelligence. Someone from the Sub-Saharan Africa is having an average IQ of around 70, while those from East Asia generally have an IQ between 100 and 110. That is the main reason why Africa was under European colonial rule for the past many centuries.
This is ignorant AF. IQ does NOT completely depend on genes. If you don't have proper education and good conditions like nutrition, medicals, doctors and so on when growing up, then you will not be able to achieve your full potential. The problem is that we don't all have the same chances when we are born. And no, IQ is not the reason for colonialism. We, Europeans, simply have better climate, better conditions for farming and so on.

Even those individuals with good access to education and wealth show differing IQ based on their race. Else how can you explain the African Americans living in the United States having an IQ of around 80, while the North Koreans having a score of 105?
19191  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your opinion on recreational drug use on: August 22, 2017, 04:49:10 AM
I just want some consistency.  If you're going to say alcohol is OK, despite it causing many deaths while driving, by overdosing, or long-term damage to the liver and a person's intelligence, or to a woman's baby while in the womb, then you can't turn around and say drugs like marijuana and LSD are worthy of banishment, especially when their effects aren't as severe.

It's horseshit and everyone knows it.

It is not just alcohol and tobacco. Dangerous drugs, which are having severe side effects (such as Oxycodone) are allowed to be used as prescription medication. And a major part of these drugs end up in the hands of drug addicts.
19192  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drug free in the Philippines on: August 22, 2017, 04:47:35 AM
Recently Kian delos santos died, a 17 year old grade 11 student.
Is this what Filipinos would like to have on the Drug war on the Philippines?
You could be the next kian, maybe your son, your daughter, your niece, your cousin.

Rich people who have been linked to drugs have already given DUE PROCESS, but with likes of kian, without investigation and due process have been killed because of allegations that he fought/fired the gun first to the police which may not be true because if the CCTV footage that they already hol.d kian. With this kind of situation probably, Philippines will never be a Drug Free country.

Isolated incidents should not be used to tarnish the ongoing war against drugs. What happened to Kian was tragic (if he was indeed wrongly framed). And those who are guilty for his death must be punished. But the war on drugs must go on.
19193  Other / Off-topic / Re: punishment for rapists on: August 22, 2017, 04:44:41 AM
His penis should be cut off.

Yes, such criminals of barbarous acts on infants and minor children be castrated so that their biological needs to end with it, than life be of imprisonment alone.

Unfortunately, most of the human rights organizations are up in arms against punishments such as castration. Countries such as Poland and Czechia have considered this punishment. But it could never be implemented due to opposition from the human rights groups.


Yes Human rights organizations are against punishment of castration with knife but they may accept chemical castration such as using pills that kill lust.
And I think chemical castration is best solution for rapists.

I was referring to chemical castration, and not the physical variety. These human rights organizations went ballistic, when certain countries were considering chemical castration for pedophiles.
19194  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is instant way to get rich ? on: August 21, 2017, 07:27:33 AM
Bitcoin is not an instant way to get rich for everyone. You need to invest,do hard work to reach a minimum level of potential earning.
I would rather say that no one should dream this way.It depends on luck and knowledge helps to make your luck.

Thats  absolutely correct, it is not everyone who will never fortunate to amass Bitcoin fortune instantly, it will take moderate to long time for others and so everyone should be psyched up for whatever may come your way when you first start investing in Bitcoin.

Patience is the key. Considering how volatile the exchange rates are, you should hold on to your coins for the medium to long term. I am saying this out of my own experience. When the exchange rates dipped to $230 per coin in 2016, I sold a few of my coins.
19195  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is $4000 the perfect time to buy on: August 21, 2017, 07:25:06 AM
No. Buy Bitcoin Cash.

At BTC0.07 per coin, Bitcoin Cash was a perfect buy. A lot of people who bought BCH at those rates are now sitting on top of almost 150% profits. But the current rates (around BTC0.18 per coin), offer little scope for any further appreciation, at least in the short-term.
19196  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Still Go Up? on: August 21, 2017, 07:22:49 AM
Yes. I believe so, and there are multiple reasons behind it. First of all, Bitcoin has started to attract interest from the mainstream investors. Although the Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF was initially rejected by the SEC, they have filed again for listing. And LedgerX recently stated that they will make Bitcoin Options and Futures available to their customers.
19197  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S vs Russia. Who will win by adapting and utilizing the crypto market? on: August 21, 2017, 07:19:48 AM
I think developing countries might actually be ahead of the western ones in this regard. Especially China and Russia since crypto already has a decent foothold there.

Bitcoin is not legal in both Russia and China. A lot of Bitcoin-related businesses were forced to relocate from Russia, due to the negative attitude of the Russian government. They even blocked the BTC-e website a few months back. And the situation is no different in China. A number of exchanges relocated to Hong Kong, due to government persecution.

doesnt matter if you migrats or not, its all about humanity, if you dont have humanity. you will do as this guy

It matters in this case, because the perpetrators were allegedly fleeing from "persecution" in their home countries and received asylum in Austria claiming that their lives are under threat in Afghanistan/Somalia. And look at what they have done. They have destroyed the life of someone who gave them refuge.
19199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can ruin a Country? on: August 21, 2017, 06:47:05 AM
May be no. As you can see bitcoin has no tax

Who told you about this? You are liable to pay taxes on your profits from Bitcoin (only if you convert your coins to fiat). And the biggest problem is that this profit will be regarded as ordinary income. So if you get a 40% profit over an investment of $10,000 ($4,000 profits), then you may end up paying up to $1,600 as tax.
19200  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Could North Korea really survive if the United States will fire on them? on: August 21, 2017, 06:43:56 AM
North Korea just pretends to look scary in the Asian region but if they fight with the Americans of course they will lose.

Of course, North Korea will be flattened by US. They are threatening but this threats cannot be ignored  in the region and even with the US. There are issues between US and Korea and still hurts the North Korean even more than 50 years had past.The US bombed them during the Korean War and it is still freah and unresolved in their minds.

North Korea may be flattened by the Americans in the initial few hours. But even if just 50% of the population survives, they will launch a powerful counter-attack against the American bases in Japan and South Korea (probably using nukes). And this will cause tens of millions of casualties on both the sides.
