Those laws are not two. They are one. They have to do with not harming another person's property.
If you say something, and then break what you say, you have harmed another person who is depending on what you said, just as though you had harmed his body-property or other property. I think this is what most laws should be based on. If something doesn't harm, hurt or endanger someone else then it shouldn't be a crime ie drugs etc. I think there are too many laws but I don't think society would function very well with just two or even a handful. There are two laws. They are the Golden Rule.
1. Love God above all things.
2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
If you don't believe in God, then you are damaging your family.
You only need the second one as god doesn't have anything to do with anyone, but still not sure whether you're a troll or not  |

My interpretation of their summary: Bitcoin gonna bring the hurt to staid incumbent financial biz.
Well I certainly hope so, but my fear is once the banks realize how much bitcoin is hurting them or how much money they can save they will just implement bitcoin tech into their own businesses rather than actual bitcoin which many banks are already looking into now. It's obvious that bitcoin tech can save them money as their systems are old and antiquated but they'll probably just create their own blockchain or one set up solely for the major banks to use so wont do us much good as bitcoin users. |

Blockchain.info is fine for me currently and works well as my wallet to make small purchases, but to keep the bulk of my 'savings' coins I'd rather just use a desktop wallet and keep them offline. I'm sure blockchain.info will add any new features that this one has over it though as to keep up the competition.

Haha. It's a shame that these days weed smokers tend to be foolish idiots. I think it makes cannabis look bad and has no doubt actually held the legalization process back as people see cannabis smokers as the cliches that they're usually portrayed as.
In that case more than half of the US population (probably with the exception of the religious nuts) will be foolish idiots, by your definition. According to an opinion poll by Gallup, around 38% of the American population (and probably more than half of the American males) have tried smoking weed at least once in their life. http://www.gallup.com/poll/163835/tried-marijuana-little-changed-80s.aspxNow imagine 100 million Americans going to the jail as a part of the war on drugs.  There's a big difference between trying weed once or twice and habitual stoners who think weed is the magic medicine that can cure cancer and every other form of disease and maladies. |

Will president Rand Paul pardon Ross?
i dont think a pardon is need it here, let him get a fair trial with out any corruption from the government or any political pressure and no pardon will be needed. Giving him a fair trial is basically the same thing as giving him a pardon, no? No. In what reality do you think they'd let him off? He broke the law massively whether you agree or disagree with those laws. People go to jail for facilitating the sale or drugs and money laundering so there's no court that would ever set him free or give him a light sentence. The best hope he has is getting the verdict thrown out due to the gov crossing the line on how they collected evidence. |

Look, I don't care about your bullshit, irrational opinions. It's a fact that biological women are bisexual. If you want to test this yourself, go to a sexologist and have any female you know blood flow to their vagina measured(Your sexual arousal) while watching lesbian porn, and see what happens.
Can you link me to this study that proves 100% of women are bisexual? Have they tested 100% of women? I don't think so. And being sexually aroused by something does not make them bi or homosexual. I'm sure if you did the same studies with men watching gay porn you'd get a lot of them aroused too but have no real desire to have sex with other men. I would actually pay for bryantcoleman to go do this test because I believe he's actually a latent or repressed homosexual and that's why he's so angry with them because of his fear of getting turned on which he hasn't learnt to deal with yet. |

Well given all these reports and circumstance, please tell me my account and funds on PD are secure!?!
No i guess. Because if it happened to me it can happen to anyone else. And after you have that kind of problem primedice support will only say your funds are gone. If it is gone we cannot do anything else. If gone then it is gone. Sad but what they answer was that. But isn't that the nature of bitcoin? If someone steals your funds then there's nothing you can do unfortunately. If it gets out of my hand by my fault yes it is my problem. But if my account even protected with 2fa then it is not my fault. Imagine blockchain.com wallet and funds are gone. They would say it is gone we cannot do anything?That's exactly what they would say. When funds go missing from blockchain.info accounts its the users fault and absolutely nothing they can do about it. Most people don't set up 2-factor and that's the biggest cause of theft but it can still be bypassed or broken. |

If they are running a business, then they should be a professional who accept every customers, doesn't matter who the customers are. The main point is, the customers like your product and your business is going up. It's okay if the shop owners have their rights to choose their customers, but I guess the business won't get success.
You can't walk in to a Jewish run bakery, and demand that they make a birthday cake with Nazi decorations. When someone tried that, not only he had his cake denied, but all of his children were taken away from him and placed under foster-care. Look how you actually ignore the facts and twist things to suit your own perverse and ignorant argument. Look at the very first sentence of that article: Heath Campbell's ex-wife tells horrifying tale of beatings and abuse against their children as the Nazi-crazed father on public assistance fights to regain visitation rights to see Hons Heinrich, Adolf Hitler, Aryan Nation and Honzlynn Jeannie.
He didn't have his kids taken away from him for the cake, he had them taken away because he's a wife and child beating unfit father from the sounds of it. Someone who names their kids Adolf Hitler & Aryan Nation obviously doesn't care about them that much. |

Wilson doesn’t go into many details about how a blockchain-powered media platform would work. But the gist seems to be that a media platform built on top of the blockchain would not need a company to manage it because the network of people or computers that confirm each blockchain entry would collectively serve that function. Something I think is important or something I'd really like to know is actually how can sites be built on top of the blockchain? I keep hearing about all the things that allegedly can be can anyone explain it in laymen terms how it can be achieved? The article goes on to state this: The way a decentralized reddit works is like this. Each user has an app, the reddit app, which connects to the reddit p2p network. For most users, the app is a normal web app. Each user funds their own app with a small amount of bitcoin. In order to download content, the user pays a very, very small amount of bitcoin to the peers on the network. This incentivizes people to keep the app open so as to keep servicing the other users. Furthermore, when a user upvotes content, that sends a small amount of bitcoin to the author of that content, thus incentivizing the production of good content. If all the content is authenticated, we can be reasonably sure most payments are going to the right people.
In this scenario, reddit, Inc. still exists, they just don’t have a monopoly on the hosting of reddit content. Instead, anyone can run the app to host the content, and reddit, Inc. is just the biggest service provider. Any user can run a business by running the app full-time. Any user, including reddit, Inc., can censor content they themselves deliver to other users, but cannot censor content other users send to other users. But I've still no idea how it would work by being built on top of the blockchain, but still exciting nevertheless. |

http://recode.net/2015/07/05/fred-wilson-the-next-reddit-will-likely-be-built-on-the-bitcoin-blockchain/To say Reddit is going through some growing pains would be an understatement.
The company has struggled for a while with if, when and how to censor content on the site, as it tries to build a real business backed by venture capitalists, all while trying not to alienate the huge community of people who help power the site. And now it has a new saga on its hands after protests by scores of the unpaid moderators who help run the site took down some of the media platform’s most popular sections this past week.
Well, prominent venture capitalist Fred Wilson think he has a solution, he wrote in a blog post titled “The Decentral Authority” that he published today.
“It may be that there is no viable middle ground between a centrally controlled media platform and an entirely decentralized media platform,” he noted, referencing the type of entity he believes Reddit is becoming versus the type of platform many of its users want it to be. “You are either going to police the site or you are going to build something that cannot be policed even if you want to.”
And that uncontrollable site is coming, he says, and will “most likely will be built on the blockchain.”

Look, what I've just said. Everyone just keep answering a question that has been answered  Well you are also part of the problem if you keep posting the same thing in the same thread because you're just encouraging more responses. If there was nothing left to reply to then the thread would die a natural death but people are still asking questions but if you keep bumping it with replies then it will never get buried. |

my experience Tl;dr :
1. marijuana is IME 30-150 times stronger painkiller than anything otc, opiates, perhaps 50-1000 times
Is this for real or a joke? Obviously none us this is true. No one is going to put this out? He said IME which I'm guessing means in my experience. Weed is probably not 50-150 times a better painkiller though if you're going to make these claims you need sources. Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather take weed for pain than most other painkillers but in extreme cases I would much prefer morphine or something stronger too. |

Should the government end the marriage thing as we know it?
Should we go to contractual agreements only- without the current "default" we have now?
They're not going to end it for many reasons, largely because Christians would cry and kick off about it, but if people want to get married then they can and should be able to do. If you don't want to get married but have the legal benefits you could just get a lawyer and write a contract out with your partner and legally share your stuff and you can also leave your money or possessions to them in a will. Let those that want to marry in the eyes of the law and everyone else can do what they want. |

The idea of doing a silk road site selling spices and silk is AWESOME. Lets do it Well I'm sure that would be great and all, but I can't imagine people will flock to a underground deep web market just to buy spices, but I'm sure there are already markets on the clearnet for doing this and maybe some already called Silk road. |

I think as time goes on there will be places around the world that slowly grow into bitcoin centres or are known as places where many shops or services accept bitcoin and thus bitcoiners will flock to them for the novelty. It's already happening on a small scale with 'hubs' popping up in places like Amsterdam and some other places I can't recall but they don't seem to be that big currently, though as I said they will likely grow over time. I must admit, I would probably go to a place if it was know for being a centre for bitcoin and one day hope to travel to as many places I can and use my bitcoins in the process.

I'd be cool with the life sentence if he was actually prosecuted for the supposed attempt to hire a hitman, but that charge was dropped. Giving someone life without parole as a first time non violent offender is obscene. 10 years in prison would have been much more reasonable.
This. I'm glad to have the asshole behind bars 'cause he was bad for business, but I think a life sentence was unjustified considering that they didn't even get a conviction on the murder charge. The dude is a first offender. As far as I'm concerned rape, torture and murder are really about the only things that can justify life sentences, and while there was a murder charge they could have prosecuted, they didn't. Bad for what business? Who's business? Without Silk Road bitcoin might not have got to where it is today. For many people the coverage bitcoin received in the media via silk road was their first introduction to bitcoin myself included. I agree the sentence was harsh though. You can rape and murder someone and get less time than what Ross got. Even people who attempt to hire hitmen to kill people usually only get 5 years or something so that shouldn't have affected his sentence much even if it was relevant to this trial (which it wasn't). |

I love this. Let them shoot themselves in the foot. The more companies these credit card corporations refuse to work with the more they will flock to bitcoin. Bitcoin is unique in that it can break free of censorship and I think that's the most beautiful thing about it.

This is really disturbing... Since she's not 18 we don't know all the details, but for all we know she wasn't even islamic to start with. Teens really want to be a part of something, and when these groups make it seem like they can be some really bad decisions end up being made. Hell, something similar happened just recently with a teen giving them advice on using BTC.A lot of the young girls are being groomed over the internet and social media by ISIS or isis sympathizers to go over and join them whether to fight or help in some way. Many are also offered the opportunity to marry or that they will be looked after for life. These recruiters are essentially doing what pedophiles do and just offer them support and a cause to believe in so they think someone actually gives a shit about them but obviously the deal isn't so rosey once they get over there and find out they'll be married to an abusive terrorist who probably wont have much of a life span. |

The real reason America is exceptional is, God is holding her in such a way. There are two other reason, one good and the other as good as it could be. The good one first. I am honestly not sure whether you're trolling or not, but I've often found that a disturbingly large amount of Americans genuinely believe god somehow favors their country over others or that America is 'god's country' for some bizarre reason. They can never justify it other than blind patriotism/delusion but I always find it bizarre. |
