So along with Theresa May still not having managed to reach a deal with the DUP (yet somehow still adamant she can negotiate with the whole European Union), her own party are turning on her (much like the papers claimed Jeremy Corbyn's own party would turn on him, but haven't). They've given May " 10 days to shape up or ship out", threatening a vote of no confidence in her leadership. By some strange coincidence, she has suddenly stopped blurting out "strong and stable" at every given opportunity. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Could the UK be heading for a minority government? And if no parties are willing to work with the tories due to their abhorrent policies, will that minority government be formed by Labour and one or more other parties? If the tories can't find a working majority, the leader of the opposition can be called on to attempt to form a government instead. I checked the Daily Mail, and they are saying that the pact with the DUP is still not finalized. Isn't there any other option? I know that there is at least one independent MP and a few MPs from Plaid Cymru. Can't May form a government with their support?

dangerous country for animals? Japan and china I think, as far as I know they are really cruel to certain types of animals, they even eat dogs and cats
You are mistaken about Japan? The Japanese are a very civilized bunch of people (although 50% of the world's weirdness originate from there) and they never indulge in cruelty against the animals. Perhaps you mistook Japan for Korea. The Chinese and the Koreans are well known for their cruelty against the animals (especially dogs).

For every evil you hear of the u.s. government has committed hundreds or even thousands of these they've been able to successfully cover up, usually requiring even more torture and murder.
Well, Americans are responsible for many of the disgraces that exist in many countries, they manipulate and destroy everything they do not like or that does not benefit them. In the past 7 decades, they have either directly or indirectly invaded a total of 70+ third world nations. The latest additions are Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. They claim that these invasions were being done to implement "democracy" in these nations. But looking back, I can't find any democracy in these nations. Afghanistan is under Taliban, and Syria and Iraq are under the ISIS.

As for China, we'll have enough time to see what they'll do there. Despite what you see in the news about China leading in green tech, they still have lax industry controls, leading to soil and waterways poisoned with heavy metals and the infamous smog. I suppose regulations in Africa would be much laxer.
China and green tech? To me they are diagonally opposite to each other. It is not just the major cities such as Shanghai and Shenzhen. Go to any village in Southern China and you will be horrified at the levels of industrial pollution. I just hope that they will not implement the same methodology in Africa and destroy that continent as well.

drugs, this is a big topic, a never ending debate, recreational use its okey in my opinión, people can do whatever they want with their lives as long as they dont affect others.
I agree with that opinion. There is no harm in allowing personal use of recreational drugs. If you ban them, then people will be forced to purchase them from the street gangs, and this will result in an increase in the crime rate.

We will always be with terrorists Muslims forget the fact that in most cases developed countries such as Russia and the United States have always helped and taught Muslims to kill and do military provocations. And now these people are trained, I do my work in our territories. I think that we ourselves are to blame for having given Muslims such knowledge in the hands of a comma so that what we taught them to blow up and kill, it all turned to us
Now you are blaming Russia and the United States for the crimes committed by these people? Even before the Western nations got involved in countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq, this region was war-prone and backward. And Russia at least, was supporting the secular regimes (especially in Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq).

Osama is as alive as Elvis, Tupac and Andy Kaufman. I heard they're still living well somewhere in secret.
Lol... Die hard fans of Elvis had a really tough time in coping up with the news of his death. Some of them are still living in a state of alternate reality. They don't want to accept the truth that he is no more. But I never knew that Osama bin Laden had these type of die-hard fans. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I think people effort would be appreciated more by society and our lives would be slower but healthier.
Ridiculous. Internet has made our lives much easier. Now it is possible to connect with friends and relatives, even if they are living many thousands of kilometers away from where you live. Without internet, life would be less colorful and more difficult.

I want to think that they do not hate people. maybe is just that some people do not think in what can happen to other people, they just think in what they want
They are fully aware of the consequences of their actions. They know that innocent people are going to die as a result of their terrorist acts. But their religion offers them 72 virgins for the same act, and therefore they don't bother about the outcome.

stupidity is relative, people have different definitions ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Comparing the IQ would enable us to conclude whether the Americans are really stupid or not. The average IQ in that nation is 98 (could have been much higher, if there was no illegal immigration). That is almost equal to the IQ in western Europe, but lower than that in East Asia.

I don't think that you should invest your Bitcoins in any crypto-stocks or crypto-bonds. The risk is too high. My advice is to hold them, without investing in anything. If you want, you can convert a small part of your stash to altcoins such as ETH or XMR, but I am not in favor of such a move.

If a split happens on August 1, and if my coins are stored in the Blockchain.info wallet, how they are going to get affected? I have the private keys to my wallet. Do I need to do something extra? Or should I move my coins to some other wallet?

Many people complain of high taxes, when there is an easy solution they're too stupid to think of. Get a second job lazy ass.
In the US if you work 5 days a week on a good paying job, the first one day goes to Taxes. If you work a second job and earn twice as much now, they will take two days of work pay. In the United States, the tax rates are much lower than those in the European Union. In Germany, they pay almost twice as much tax as an average individual pays in the United States. Compare the prices of gasoline in both the countries. In Germany it is almost twice as expensive, thanks to all sort of taxes.

Till now, they have tried to harm the crypto-currency, through campaigns filled with negative propaganda. However, recently a few of the banks and the hedge funds have shown interest in Bitcoin. But it is too early to say whether this signal a change in their attitude towards crypto.

Well in my thoughts those who wants to harm and terrorize people are not Muslims, they are all evil and their doings are against their teachings. God or Allah never teach about doing violence to any mankind whatsoever.
The facts prove that this argument is not true. The terrorists always quote verses from the Quran to justify their acts. And the Quran itself contains more than 109 verses, which preach violence against the infidels.

Why then has every court struck it down as unconstitutional and unjustified?
Not every court. It was a circuit court judge with extreme-left ideology (and appointed by the Democrats) who struck down that bill, despite the fact that he didn't had the authority to do it. Trump was not interested in any more controversy, so he simply withdrew the order.

@Sithara007 didn't Janissaries started out as kidnapped Christian boys that were force converted and given military training? I wouldn't be surprised if there were other similar practices but that's the one the immediately comes to mind. Yes.. the ISIS is following the same methodology. The formation of the Janissary Corps was like killing two birds with one stone. First, it strengthened the Ottoman army by increasing its size. Secondly, it reduced the size of the Christian population within the Ottoman Empire (mostly Greeks and Albanians, but later the recruitment was also drawn from Ukrainians, Bulgars, Southern Russians, Romanians, Yugoslavs, and Armenians)

And to nepal too, of course ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Its so funny how 3rd worlders like both of you think that germany or west europe is on the brink of destruction. Sithara, little uneducated nepalese girl, 90% of all our refugees are syrians and afghans with the first group having the great majority. The rest is from east europe and africa. Yeah sure. have fun with all your Syrian Arabs and Afghans. I agree that Nepal is a poor third world country. But have you ever heard of any Nepalese conducting terrorist attacks anywhere in the world? On the other hand, a number of nations recruit soldiers from Nepal (India, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brunei.etc). You arrogant German nazi will be taught a lesson by the very Muslims you imported to your country. And for your kind information, although I was born in Nepal, I no longer hold the Nepalese citizenship.

Because rich countries produces things that cost more in $. Cars, electronics, medicaments... IQ is important thing I would say, but not decisive.
What about the richest country in the world (Qatar)? They don't produce any cars or medicaments. All they have is huge natural gas deposits, which they export mainly to the European Union, South Asia and Japan.
