Well if your rich then yeah things like that are possible.  But for the average joe that's not looking for a sex slave, just a relationship, it would need to stay hidden right?  So either hide it for life / pretend to be straight or emigrate.

It is always very risky to be a homosexual in countries such as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. If you are rich and have powerful connections, then you may be able to escape. Else, they will slap a death sentence over you and you'll be beheaded in no time.

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.

Even if this is true it doesnt's changes anything, it only turns things worse.

If it doesn't changes anything, then how can it turn things worse? Al Baghdadi was the worst possible person to head the ISIS. He personally took part in many gang-rapes and massacres. I am glad that he is dead (if the news report is true).
19724  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Princess is giving up her royal status ,for love. on: July 23, 2017, 04:05:23 AM
I didn't bother opening the link but aside from the royal family, do Japan still have a nobility like they do in England where the royal family can marry into?

I am not sure about the Japanese nobility, but if I am not wrong, then Japan used to have 12 branches of the Royal family until the end of the WW2. But after the surrender of Japan, all but one of these branches were dissolved.
People do stupid things in the name of love,being born into Royalty in some ways is a kind of prison, there are lots of things that royals are not permitted to do all in the name of nottarnishing the name of the family. There is no real freedom whatsoever and what every human being really wants is to be free.

These Japanese royals should learn something from their counterparts in Saudi Arabia. The Arab royals travel to every nook and corner of the world, and indulge in all sort of perverseness and debauchery. Examples here:

19725  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are we heading towards an Indo-China war? on: July 23, 2017, 03:55:20 AM
A war will be mutually destructive for both the nations, and I don't think that China especially will be interested in starting another military confrontation at this point of time. China was not happy with Sikkim merging with India in 1975, and they have always tried to create problems in the Tibetan-inhabited regions of India (such as Ladakh, Sikkim, and Tawang).
19726  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who will win WW3? on: July 23, 2017, 03:51:48 AM
I think it will be Russia but with its allied nation China . And it wont just be a Nuclear showdown there might be a coldwar before nukes starts flying. For now Russia and China had greater power than US and its allied nation it wont be an easy war though.

The major disadvantage with the NATO alliance is that they don't have a nation which can contribute with manpower. There is Turkey, but it is not a very populous nation. Things can change if the NATO could convince India to join the alliance. If India is staying neutral or siding with Russia (they will never enter in to an alliance with China), then the NATO can attempt bringing in countries such as Pakistan and Indonesia in to the alliance.

As long as Russia supports the rebels

Calling the victims of Ethnic cleansing as rebels is the wrong mode to describe the situation.

They are victims of ethnic cleansing, but at the same time, how many of the United Nations members recognize the existence of these republics? If I am not wrong, even Russia doesn't recognizes them. So it is right to call them as rebels.
19728  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who is Putin? on: July 23, 2017, 03:39:21 AM
We need to objectively assess in what condition Putin received the country. Was not all so deplorable. Note that dashing 90s ended everywhere, and not only in Russia.

When Putin became the president, Russia was going through a recession and the people were literally starving. In less than 15 years time, he transformed that country in to a super-power.

The drugs are definitely not to blame. Please stop propagating nonsense. Drugs don't have the capability to change your character, especially not cannabis. They might tip an already vulnerable person over the edge, but a person at that point would get there with or without any drugs regardless.

Exactly. People are just using this incident as an excuse to tarnish marijuana. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people die as a result of traffic accidents caused by drunken people. These guys doesn't seems to have a problem with it.

People don't see how feeding the poor can generate something positive to society, they don't care about it. It's sad and at the same time real.

The poor needs good jobs first. Free handouts (in the form of food or money) will do more harm than good. The government must make sure that enough jobs are created, so that the poor will be able to sustain themselves.
19731  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What are the Most Peaceful Countries? on: July 23, 2017, 03:25:59 AM
I think it will be Denmark. It's a most peacefull country in the world.

But Japan also progress in their position.

Thanks!

Denmark the only western European nation to act tough against the refugees from the third world nations. Perhaps that is the reason. The other Scandinavian countries, such as Norway and Sweden (Iceland also is on its way) are lost for ever.

I do not believe in the theory of evolution , Because the theory is not clear

No, it's because you're a fanatic!

Very true. There are only true groups of people. The first one believes in the theory of evolution. The second group is consisted of mostly religious nuts, who believe in the theory of creation. There is nothing in between.

Does tomato turn cannibals into vegetables?     Grin

Anything is possible, if you consume the carcinogenic GMO tomato from the United States. But the OP is not very clear which type of tomato was used for the research. I assume that it was GMO tomato.

Ok he should start by redistributing his own wealth. Then we can talk about this UBI bullshit.

He needs his wealth to direct Facebook, so that the CIA can gather more info about all people, to find out how well the free money system is working. Then they will know how to tweak it, this way or that, so that the people are scammed of more of their property.

Cool

Facebook will not stay popular for ever. Right now they are having around 2 billion users, but the growth in the number of users have slowed down. Also, people are spending less and less time on their Facebook profiles.
19735  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Population on: July 23, 2017, 03:14:22 AM
Overpopulation is not really going to be a huge problem in the world, There are vast lands in the Sahara and Gobi desert which can be used to resettle people as long as they can make that place habitable for the rest of mankind.The Arabs and African are giving birth and they may cause overpopulation in the near future.

Yeah sure.. and from where we are going to find food for all these people. Already the world is running short of fresh water for irrigation. If you resettle people in Sahara, then who is going to feed them?
19736  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Barry Silbert segwit2x agreement with >80% miner support. on: July 22, 2017, 04:41:50 AM
I see that now since BIP91 is locked in, the % of miners signaling has gone down. Interesting.

Yeah.. now it is around 85%. But now the attention seems to have shifted to BIP 141, which is having around 95.1% support now (95.0% support needed to lock in BIP 141). All the blocks seems to be signaling BIP 141 without exception.
19737  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hard fork has been adverted! Breaking NEWS! on: July 22, 2017, 04:37:30 AM
What you don't understand is that anyone could cause a chain split at any time. 

BIP91 has been locked in.  SegWit will be activated.  We'll find out in three months whether miners follow through on their agreement to fork to a 2MB base block size.  At that point there will be a chain split.

As for Bitcoin Cash, that's unrelated to BIP91 or what the vast majority of miners are supporting.  BITMAIN-operated pools (pools led by Jihan Wu) are supporting BIP91 as a compromise, but they would ideally like Bitcoin Cash to succeed, as Bitcoin Cash is similar to Bitcoin Unlimited (block size increases).

You could argue that Bitcoin Cash is an altcoin, or you could argue that it's a modified version of Bitcoin.  Either way, it will happen on August 1st and you will own some of it.

I think that they are going to keep their promise on the block size increase. Else their reputation will be lost and in the future they will not receive any sort of support from the other bloc of users.
19738  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why people are holding Bitcoin? on: July 22, 2017, 04:07:58 AM
I hope that you got the answer by now. Just check the exchange rates from 2009 to 2017. Those who had invested $1 on BTC in 2009 (through New Liberty Standard) will be having a ROI of around 300,000,000% till now. Still having doubts regarding why people are holding their coins?
19739  Economy / Speculation / Re: Should I cash out my BTC now? on: July 22, 2017, 03:57:45 AM
Right now cashing out of bitcoin is purely dependent upon the users who has the bitcoin into his wallet. As the price has been increasing now, people who has been into selling when it went below $2000 feel bad. Same time the complications of splitting is found as we are nearing to end days of July.

Those who sold their coins earlier were not expecting a solution to be found before August 1. But unfortunately for them (and fortunately for the others), the BIP 91 got locked in almost 10 days before that date. And the prices climbed so steeply during the last 48 hours that no one had the chance to buyback the coins they sold earlier.
19740  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS Leader is dead on: July 22, 2017, 03:53:56 AM
The news of the death of this isis leader often made headlines, many countries claimed to have killed him, but the leader of the isis is still alive and the news is a lie, if it is true it is very successful in the war against acts of terrorism.

You are right. Even earlier, a number of times it was reported that Abu Bakr al Baghdadi have been killed. But later it was established that he was still alive. I don't understand why it is so difficult to assassinate this guy, when both the Russians and the Americans have managed to infiltrate the ISIS in Syria with dozens of spies and double agents.
In my opinion, that of Russia and the US Themselves are to blame for the fact that today the whole world is concerned about terrorism. These strange themselves because of their clandestine war, trained many different militants, who now turned their skills against them themselves.

No need to blame Russia. Only the Americans are behind this fiasco. They were the ones who funded and armed the ISIS through Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Even in 2016, there were reports of American-backed FSA units defecting to the ISIS,taking their US-provided weapons along with them.
