Germany is illuminati run country  Wink

Of course globalisation and NWO is not working exactly as intended so the joke is on them. Germans should believe less propaganda and read more information, that is sanctioned by their government and ultra-left media.

"German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared at an Oct. 16 meeting of young members of her party, the Christian Democratic Union, that multiculturalism, or Multikulti, as the Germans put it, “has failed totally.” Horst Seehofer, minister-president of Bavaria and the chairman of a sister party to the Christian Democrats, said at the same meeting that the two parties were “committed to a dominant German culture and opposed to a multicultural one.” Merkel also said that the flood of immigrants is holding back the German economy, although Germany does need more highly trained specialists, as opposed to the laborers who have sought economic advantages in Germany. The statements were striking in their bluntness and their willingness to speak of a dominant German culture, a concept that for obvious reasons Germans have been sensitive about asserting since World War II. The statement should be taken with utmost seriousness and considered for its social and geopolitical implications. It should also be considered in the broader context of Europe's response to immigration, not to Germany's response alone."

Source is Stratfor and the date is 2010. What the fuck have Germans changed since then? Mutti backpedaled on her every promise since then and german public puts up with it. She even tops polls right now. Since Germany is so content to follow around puppet of illuminati, they have what they wished for. Unrest and economical stagnation.

I find the idea of a man fucking me 100% repulsive, though if other men wish to fuck each other that's wonderful.

You're telling me that if I watch some shit online I'll be bending over in the nearest public convenience before I know it? It will erase every single aversion I have to such an idea?

Wow. That's powerful stuff.

No, I am telling you, that some people are naturally more prone to suggestion and brainwashing than others. Especially young and maturing. I am sure, that YOU live in place where everybody is happy, steadfast, mature and have university degree. Tell me where that is, so I can move there with my family and not deal with socio-pathological phenomena and predators.

UFO-Researcher David Wilcock claims, according to his source Dr Pete Peterson, that Bitcoin was invented by a group of white hats within the NSA. Their motivation was that there should be an alternative to the Federal Reserve in case it collapses or its power gets misused. That would make these people "Satoshi". From a technical standpoint this could be true, since these people would have the necessary skills to invent Bitcoin.

He made this remark in this recent presentation of his:

A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy without warrant, generally one involving an illegal or harmful act carried out by government or other powerful actors. Conspiracy theories often produce hypotheses that contradict the prevailing understanding of history or simple facts.

Christopher Hitchens presents conspiracy theories as the "exhaust fumes of democracy", the unavoidable result of a large amount of information circulating among a large number of people.

Hey guys,

Religion (a belief in imaginary all powerful supernatural deities) has been the cause of more death and suffering than any one disease ever to inflict the human race. Wouldn't it be nice if we could start working on a cure for that.



Yeah, and you are going to suceed where Marx, Freud, Nietsche and other bright minds miserably failed. Good luck with that.

Ive heard, that Scientology is modarely succesful as money grabbing enterprise for its founders and high ranking members, you might find some inspiration there.

The fact is, that, if you even insist on the idea of good - you have to define where and how it originates and what is its opposite.

And then you have even bigger challenge ahead of you - how to legitimaze your particular worldview. At no point in history were there so many people and vast majority of them are religious - or atleast partial to any secular ideology, that tries to substitute for one.

Jesus Christ OP, how deluded are you? In case of open military conflict with Russia, Ukraine gets rekted big time. Period. The only support you can hope for would be diplomatic support + maybe more sanctions against Russia. No other country will take military actions against nuclear superpower.

Ukraine on its own won't do shit. You just stood there and watched as Crimea gets annexed and the East rebels against Kiev's CIA-installed government. If Putin decided to go all-in, there would be no Ukraine by now.

Your "Army's" morale were/are at all time low, when push comes to shove, most would surrender or desert with some joining the opposite side (as it happened before). The only formation with somewhat higher morale was the right sector militia, but they didn't quite get along with the new rulers and became more of a problem.

You were never a homogeneous country, with huge number of Ukrainian citizens (in the East) not even speaking the language and consider themselves Russians, I don't think they're looking forward to being "liberated" by you. There's a reason why Crimea was just taken without any resistance, isn't it? And what would you do if you actually succeeded? Would you solve the problem by Wolyn-style genocide?

Martial Law are initaied by dictators and tyrants who seek to control their citizens, it does bring about law and order but it takes away basic human rights from the people.

No, your 101 vocabulary doesnt seem to grasp the concept of martial law.

The martial law concept in the United States is closely tied with the right of habeas corpus, which is in essence the right to a hearing on lawful imprisonment, or more broadly, the supervision of law enforcement by the judiciary. The ability to suspend habeas corpus is related to the imposition of martial law. Article 1, Section 9 of the US Constitution states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

In United States law, martial law is limited by several court decisions that were handed down between the American Civil War and World War II. In 1878, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act, which forbids military involvement in domestic law enforcement without congressional approval.

As you can see martial law itself has nothing to do with your government system and all to do with security situation.

This artificially created war between the hidden rulers who have earned it for several years, and the inhabitants of Russia and Ukraine are used as cannon fodder.

The reality is that, after two decades of eastward Nato expansion, this crisis was triggered by the west's attempt to pull Ukraine decisively into its orbit and defence structure, via an explicitly anti-Moscow EU association agreement. Its rejection led to the Maidan protests and the installation of an anti-Russian administration – rejected by half the country – that went on to sign the EU and International Monetary Fund agreements regardless.

No Russian government could have acquiesced in such a threat from territory that was at the heart of both Russia and the Soviet Union. Putin's absorption of Crimea and support for the rebellion in eastern Ukraine is clearly defensive, and the red line now drawn: the east of Ukraine, at least, is not going to be swallowed up by Nato or the EU.

But the dangers are also multiplying. Ukraine has shown itself to be barely a functioning state: the former government was unable to clear Maidan, and the western-backed regime is "helpless" against the protests in the Soviet-nostalgic industrial east. For all the talk about the paramilitary "green men" (who turn out to be overwhelmingly Ukrainian), the rebellion also has strong social and democratic demands: who would argue against a referendum on autonomy and elected governors?

Christianity Not Dying Out, but Atheism Is in Danger
http://www.christianpost.com/news/christianity-not-dying-out-but-atheism-is-in-danger-due-to-contraception-study-reveals-177551/
Quote
A new study has countered some perceptions that Christianity around the world is on the decline and could be dying out, by pointing out that religious people are having more children than atheists.

The study, titled "The Future of Secularism: a Biologically Informed Theory Supplemented with Cross-Cultural Evidence" specifically tackled perceptions among social scientists that religious belief is on the decline.

Researchers from the U.S. and Malaysia studied over 4,000 students, asking them about their religious beliefs and how many siblings they had, and found that Malaysian atheists had 1.5 fewer siblings than the average, though in the U.S. the gap was narrower.

The experts found that non-religious children from the U.S. came on average from parents who had 3.04 children, compared with the 3.2 in the general population.

The findings, published in the Evolutionary Psychological Science international journal, correlated with other studies which found that Muslims are the most fertile and religious group. Christianity and almost all other religions had a positive association with parental fertility as well, however.

"While cross-sectional in nature, when our results are combined with evidence that both religiosity and fertility are substantially heritable traits, findings are consistent with view that earlier trends toward secularization (due to science education surrounding advancements in science) are currently being counter-balanced by genetic and reproductive forces," the study explained.

It also foresees a decline in secularism, due to the reliance on contraception contributing to lower birth rates, which it traced back to industrial developments.

"By the mid-19th century, scientific discoveries had moved to a point that human reproduction was sufficiently well understood that fertility rates began to be impacted, especially in the emerging industrial countries," it read.

The researchers predicted that "secularism is likely to undergo a decline throughout the remainder of the 21st century, including Europe and other industrial societies."

"It is ironical that effective birth control methods were developed primarily by secularists, and that these methods are serving to slowly diminish the proportional representation of secularists in forthcoming generations," they added.

The Independent reports that some might argue that having religious parents doesn't necessarily mean that their children will grow up with the same beliefs, but other studies have shown that religion is indeed heritable to an extent.

Thank you CoinCube for the voice of reason.

So many of these so called atheists refuse to even look at hard numbers and try to argue merely from the point of their feelings.

I can also recommend work of Eric Kaufmann (himself an agnostic), who did a lot of research on the subject, concluding that the world is in fact undergoing DEsecularization since atleast 1990. Perhaps, thats why we have so many hateful people on bitcointalk. Their gut feeling tells them, that the world they took for granted is slowly changing.

Cheers!

Fuck your Hillary. She is war criminal and the world is safer since she got grabbed by her disease ridden pussy!

In 2011 Libya was the wealthiest state in Africa whose citizens enjoyed the highest living standards in African history. Libya stood as an example not only to the rest of Africa but also the Arab world, many of whose leaders resented Gaddafi’s success, his policy making independence, his ability to combine Islamic tradition with secular realities and his good treatment of non-Arab, black Africans. They may also have been jealous of his penchant for philosophy and literature. This certainly is true of the philistine Gulfis.

But few nations get bombed and have their leader executed purely because of internal peace and prosperity. Hillary Clinton had greater ambitions for Libya. As many knew at the time and as we all know now thanks to Wikileaks, Hillary Clinton was enraged that Gaddafi was on the verge of creating a gold-backed African Dinar which would have replaced the US Dollar as Libya’s main trading currency. The idea was to use Africa’s natural resources to break free from the shackles of Dollar dependence. That would not do for Hillary Clinton.

This of course came after Gaddafi’s rapprochement with none other than George Bush and Tony Blair in late 2003. The wisdom of Gaddafi’s decision to make peace with the western powers he built a career on denouncing remains controversial. Nevertheless, Libya was able to maintain its independence in spite of the initial ‘opening up’ of Tripoli.

But what was good enough even for the hardened war criminals Bush and Blair was not good enough for the more sinister Clinton. Any sign that Libya might want monetary and trade independence from the Federal Reserve was enough to call for a war on Libya. Without any UN approval, the NATO planes buzzed in.

Nicolas Sarkozy and David Cameron were the useful idiot poster boys for the campaign.  Barack Obama took a conspicuous back-seat and recently admitted Libya was the worst decision of his presidency. Although Obama made many decision, I have to agree that going into Hillary’s war was the worst of many.  But as we now know, Hillary Clinton agitated for the war against the wishes of many in Obama’s government and also in the Pentagon. It was Hillary’s war beyond a shadow of a doubt.

If you're straight, you're straight. If you're gay, you're gay. And so on.

As for what you said about this being some men's fetish, well some do get a kick out off ( Wink) being abused. That don't automatically mean they'll become trans as in tranny (sorry to those who got triggered Tongue). There is such a thing as role-play, you know. I've heard about women strapping fake penises (some actually inserted into the vagina) and using that to plow their men.

Before we say these videos are turning men (both gay and straight) into actual trans, maybe we should find out how many of those who watch those actually do become trans.

Not always. People, especially young people are open to different inputs. They can be manipulated against their nature by conditioning - and they of course end up unhappy and depressed, not realizing, that they are victims of well oiled money grabbing industry.

1.  When we experience highly arousing stimuli such as porn, the dopamine level in our brains spike. This is novel to our brain and what has been named the “Coolidge” effect begins. We are wired to feel drawn to this new and exciting experience.

Pleasure neurochemicals in the brain respond as we continue to engage the stimulus and we can over stimulate ourselves. This is when we go beyond normal pleasure activation and the neurochemicals can start damaging patterns.

2.  Once this overstimulation is maintained our brain adapts to find a level of tolerance. What was once an overstimulation then becomes the new normal. The brain starts to produce less of the pleasurable neurochemicals in response to the same stimulus, so more of a stimulus is needed to recreate the old pleasure sensation.

When we don’t receive the stimulus we wanted, cravings ensue and then behavior (in this case porn use) can escalate to compensate.

Womans eye3.  A third brain change is desensitization. Once the brain’s normal reward system is bombarded with high levels of dopamine it starts to shut down. The dopamine receiving neurons shut down their receptors to protect against overstimulation, but the sending neuron keeps sending!

The result is a depletion of dopamine, and also a non-response to dopamine. When this occurs you feel lousy; it is hard to feel pleasure! Unfortunately the one thing that can release the extra dopamine so that you can feel ok is the escalated use of porn. The brain now has an inbuilt trap.

4.  Sensitization also occurs, this is the experience of the brain becoming familiar with what it expects to see. An analogy is thinking you see your spouse, or child, whenever you see someone that vaguely resembles them—your brain is looking for them!

When porn is what your brain expects, you begin to see through a sexualized filter where people’s’ bodies start to become sexualized objects.

Once your brain has adapted in these ways it is very hard work to reverse the effects. It will involve feeling bad, paying attention to what you are paying attention too, and refraining from sexual engagement to allow the brain to heal.

I am trying to be objective here and leave my christian faith out of it, but society should do more to protect its young legacy and youth itself should take more precaution.

It should be someone's choice if they prefer to marry the same sex as them why stop it?

Nowadays we also have had technology advances which only make it easier to reproduce even if you're gay.

Then why dont you spread same sex love where all the reproduction is done these days? Like Africa and middle East... oh, wait. I forgot, they would kick you so hard in the ass, that you would search for it in the google maps.

33  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate christians? on: July 11, 2017, 07:33:08 PM
One reason is that we seldom know for sure why we christians are being hated. It flatters us to believe that it is entirely a matter of being “persecuted for righteousness sake” (Matthew 5:10). But realistically, the good that we do is often mixed with selfishness, jealousy, pride, and self-protection. If we are honest, we realize that there are times when our enemies are rightly putting their finger on something ugly in us, and are angered by our sin.

Still another reason we should be willing to be good to our enemies is that we ourselves have benefited from God’s grace and are indebted to God’s love (Matthew 18:23-35). God offered us mercy, even when we unfairly hated Him. We who have experienced the miracle of God’s unconditional love should be the first to strive for peace, resisting the impulse to condemn (Matthew 5:22; Romans 12:10).

Sure, why not.  If a few religious idiots get butthurt, even better. 

Wrong, you didnt do your homework. Meaning you dont fucking care at all, meaning new law is useless.

Responsibilities:

When you get married, you're promising to treat your spouse with respect. In many states, if one spouse engages in certain marital misconduct, such as abandonment, abuse, or adultery, that behavior can provide the grounds for a fault-based divorce and may even affect alimony and property division.

Additionally, spouses owe a fiduciary duty to one another. What this means is that your prospective spouse can’t lie to you about finances, a criminal past, or their current marriage to another spouse to induce you into marrying them. A marriage based on one spouse’s fraud can be annulled under certain circumstances.

Once married, you continue to owe your spouse a fiduciary duty regarding finances and property—similar to the duties owed between business partners. You can't hide funds, waste marital assets or send marital income offshore or to another person—like a lover—without your spouse's consent. If you breach your fiduciary duties to your spouse, and your financial misconduct is discovered during a divorce, most courts will order you to reimburse your spouse for the funds you lost or wasted.

Spouses also owe each other the duty to keep confidential communications private. The marital communication privilege or “spousal privilege” prevents either spouse from disclosing confidential marital communications. Either spouse can invoke the privilege to prevent the other from testifying about a confidential marital communication. A spouse can testify about the other spouse’s actions like seeing the spouse selling drugs. However, one spouse can’t testify about confidential communications during the marriage, such as one spouse’s disclosure that he’d sold drugs to a friend.

So how about having mature conversation on the subject, man?

The first suspect shot at her and she returned fire, hitting him four times. That suspect fell to the ground and a second intruder kicked the back door open and both fled out the back of the home.

That, my friends, is gun control at its finest!  Grin

As it should be.

A classic of gun ignorance: New York passed a law three years ago banning gun magazines holding more than seven bullets — without realizing that for most guns there is no such thing as a magazine for seven bullets or less.

And every time liberals speak blithely about banning guns, they boost the N.R.A. Let’s also banish the term “gun control”: the better expression is “gun safety.”

Research suggests that the most important practical step would be to keep guns away from high-risk individuals, such as criminals, those who abuse alcohol, or those who beat up their domestic partners.

Some public health approaches to reducing gun violence have nothing to do with guns. Researchers find that a nonprofit called Cure Violence, which works with gangs, curbs gun deaths. An initiative called Fast Track supports high-risk children and reduces delinquency and adult crime.

In short, let’s get smarter. Let’s make America’s gun battles less ideological and more driven by evidence of what works. If the left can drop the sanctimony, and the right can drop the obstructionism, if instead of wrestling with each other we can grapple with the evidence, we can save thousands of lives a year.

Your guess?

If internet was banned today, we would get very close to North Korea. Functionally and ideologically.

Control of movement and control of information is prerequisite of any good totalitarian system.

In 2006, Julien Pain, head of the Internet Desk at Reporters Without Borders, described North Korea as the world's worst Internet black hole in its list of the top 13 Internet enemies.

Internet access is not generally available in North Korea. Only some high-level officials are allowed to access the global internet. In some universities, a small number of strictly monitored computers are provided. Other citizens may only get access to the country's own intranet, called Kwangmyong. Foreigners can access the internet using the 3G phone network.

Internet access is restricted to regime elites and select university students. The state has created its own substitute "internet" – but even this network is restricted to certain elite grade schools, select research institutions, universities, factories, and privileged individuals. Moreover, the intranet is filtered by the Korea Computer Center, which ensures that only information deemed acceptable by the government can be accessed through the network.

If the case is backed up by sufficient evidence, the best solution is for the suspect to face a firing squad! Once you do this to a few people, the rest will have learned a lesson. The fear factor might work to deter more rape crimes. Rape leaves a permanent emotional and even physical scar to the victim.

You raise an important point.

In many western countries accused man is considered guilty until proven otherwise.

Any tribunal that uses inquisitorial rather than adversarial procedure is assuming guilty until proven innocent. Under inquisitorial procedure, the judge or presiding officer is an active participant. Under adversarial procedure, the judge is an impartial referee in a contest between a prosecutor and defender.

Conviction rate is a good indication of whether suspects are getting fair trials. Conviction rates average 60-80% in US state courts, where trials are generally fair. China's and Japan's 99% conviction rates tell us trials in those countries are unfair. US Federal trials also have a 99% conviction rate, but the even more astounding statistic is that only 3% of cases go to trial. Fully 97% are settled by inquisitorial plea bargain.

Thus, the evidence says China, Japan, and the US Federal system treat suspects as guilty until proven innocent, regardless of their stated rules of procedure.

What advice would you give a HS senior in US about to decide on and/or enter college ?
No matter where you are, or who you are, people should always go to college. If you do not have enough money, than start working and start going to college. I am telling you from my experience, i did not go to college because i did not want, and now i regret it. There is nothing decent to do with out it, even if you have rich family, people will look on you differently if you do not have degree.

Funny, how quickly you people jumped from getting an education (which is not tied to college degree anymore, anyway) to buying a social status. But you cant buy respect.

Elitist is a person who holds him or herself to higher standards than those of lesser beings because he or she is more honorable, intelligent, funny, good-looking, and awesome than the rest. Elitists are usually well-groomed and well-dressed, although this is a not one of their defining qualities. Also, elitists have the right to look down upon others but often don't for the sake of saving the time and effort needed to criticize those of lesser abilities.

You need to buy that?
