"One time there may or may not have been racism, therefore our borders need not be enforced." Cool story bro.
   Enforced against who? Brown skinned US citizens?   Cheesy Even you conceded above that this is stepping over the line. If someone has valid documentation that they are a US citizen, they need to be let in, without undue delay and hassle. Not be detained unjustly for 23 days, while the US fucking bureaucracy finally figures out that they made a mistake.

I see, you are playing the dumb game that bluefirecorp_ is pretending that this detainment was totally unrelated to illegal immigration enforcement and prevention too. Just because it is not preferable doesn't mean they should stop doing their jobs. What is "valid US documentation" is subjective. People can have fake ID, or the ID of other people that is either bought or stolen. I don't like that this happened, but I also don't pretend that they purposely detained these people just because they were brown and they could. That is bullshit and I think you know damn well it is.

Perhaps if there was not a certain group of people purposely obstructing border enforcement funding, they wouldn't be so backlogged and could have processed them faster? They are trying to do their jobs and they made a mistake. I don't find that any more acceptable than all of these idiots telling these people they can come here illegally and get all kinds of entitlements, resulting in a situation where the border patrol and court system is overwhelmed, which directly results in situations like these. One is happening far more than the other though. Then after denying responsibility for their part in it, the leftists then point fingers at any enforcement action taken and LAARP that they are fighting Nazis and concentration camps. The border needs to be enforced. All of this mass hysteria over border enforcement is based on delusional uncontrolled emotions, not logic or facts.


First of all, funding for immigration services has increased since Trump has been in office. The only concern Trump seems to be having is that ample funds are not being earmarked for his Wall Project, something he promised that he would make Mexico pay for, which is not happening. I think ~25 billion dollars should be enough for Homeland Security to ensure that any mistakes such as this are quickly resolved. It should not take 23 days or even 32 hours to sort this out. Also, "valid US documentation" is not subjective. The document is either real and belongs to the holder, or not. There is no gray area.
Also, it is not bullshit that these mistakes are made only for people with a darker complexion. I seriously doubt someone with blue eyes or blond hair is going to have to be concerned that their valid documents are going to be mistaken to be fake.

**Spoiler Ahead**



Damn, I can't believe game-protect already has so many votes since he definitely isn't a troll.
On the other hand, giving him the label of "troll" might actually be beneficial for the forum.

I know nobody takes him seriously, but he does continue with his attempts of luring people to use his questionable services.

Game-protect is a troll. A few weeks ago he posted in multiple signature campaign threads and elsewhere, trying to get people fired who supported the flag against him. He also made several negative trust comments accusing many members of abusing children. (This has been removed.) If this wasn't "trolling," I have no idea what is.

The President has made it clear that if you have a dark tone to your skin, and you happen to disagree with current US policy in any way, you need to go "back where you came from." Even if you happen to have been born on US soil.  Kiss

   In all three cases cited in the article, none of the people detained were breaking any laws. All of them were United States citizens and had valid documentation on them. However, it appears the agents deemed their valid documentation as suspicious, and detained them for hours or even weeks until they could clear them. If any of the cases mentioned in this article lacked documentation, I could perhaps be more understanding. However, even without documentation, I would think such a matter could be resolved in an hour or two, if someone is a US citizen. Not 32 hours and certainly not 23 days.

As soon as the documentation is suspicious then it loses its valid status. They should hold the kids that were trying to cross the national border as long as it takes to find the parents. The word parents isn't even in the article when I CTRL F.


So if someone looks at my valid driver's license or passport and a agent has a "hunch" that it is "suspicious," it is invalidated? That makes zero sense. I remember going to a bank, and they took my valid driver's license. At the time, my state did not require someone to renew for 15 years, so it was an older version. The bank representative then insisted that they could not open an account because it was invalid. After much angst, I finally got them to see that it was indeed valid and they apologized. I'm sure the fact that my skin happens to be a dark complexion had nothing to do with the initial account representative insisting that my license was "invalid."   Roll Eyes
If this is how American citizens are going to be treated at ports of entry, I better delay any travel plans until the environment becomes better. I wouldn't want another huge hassle, just because some immigration agent has a hunch that I'm really an "illegal" and my valid documents are "fake."

Do you know what Schizophrenia is?

Complains that Game Protect enforces claims from illegal casinos, but at the same time considers it as good that bitcointalk.org let illegal casinos promote on its forum!


Your example does not meet the criteria for a diagnosis of Schizophrenia. In fact, there is no diagnosis for people exhibiting a healthy skepticism of your services. It appears your definition of sanity is someone who is naive and willing to accept your word as truthful without any evidence. You claimed in another thread that your success rate is 100%. As I stated earlier, if that were true, I would think there would be droves of people touting your services as the best ever. I only see 2 vouches for you in your entire trust feedback, regarding your services.

Oh.

As far as child detention centers, they are located all over the US. I think most would agree that they are necessary to hold people that don't follow the laws, and are underage.

    My highest bet in a brick and mortar casino was probably ~ 5000 USD on a single hand of blackjack. My highest bet on an online casino was probably ~1000 USD, fiat, once again on blackjack  My highest bitcoin bet is probably ~ .01 BTC.

  An authority could issue a subpoena to both poloniex and binance to get the mixer's account activity with them both and may be able to link your transactions that way. However, if they were after you in particular, it would probably be easier for them to confiscate your personal electronic devices, and gather what is going on from there.

  I am very curious exactly what "chart" is going to help someone overcome the house edge with Roulette? I have read that someone had created a devise that can help someone calculate where a ball is likely to land based on the speed of the wheel and the ball, since most real world roulette games let people bet while the ball is in in motion. However, it was a challenge to hide such a device from the users. I doubt a chart is going to help anyone. Also, the device that I am talking about has zero chance of working in a computer game.

Whilst I’m nowhere near as prolific at reporting as many here it’d be nice to get the badges implemented. I think I currently qualify for the lower rank of proposed reporter badges. Still be cool to wear it on my profile though.

An update on this would be cool, theymos?

      You are doing a whole lot better than me. I guess that I am a little lax in my reporting duties.  Cheesy

The other day, I had noticed that a great deal of topics where being created promoting this token and I created this topic about it. It was because they were offering a 2000 bounty to whoever created a topic to promote their token I went to the telegram. It was interesting how many people that they showed joining. (I think that was all fake.) I informed an administrator that it was against the rules and they got rid of that aspect of their bounty campaign. I now see that this token appears to have other problems.

So y'all applying to the highest-paid snobbiest campaign but so busy that you can't spare 20 seconds to check the requirements Grin

I apologize if that is a deliberate lifestyle choice, like wearing jeans and a wifebeater to a job interview.



I personally don't mind all of the unqualified candidates applying. At least when I probably don't get accepted again, I can tell myself that I wasn't the absolutely last person on Earth that DarkStar_ would pick.  Cheesy
213  Economy / Gambling / Re: Game Protect Legal Case - Curacao License Scam on: July 28, 2019, 04:51:04 AM
I find it rather confusing that game-protect states that they do not collect any personal information about their clients. How exactly can they put forth any kind of claim without knowing anything about the client? Or when time for settlement comes, does game-protect forward the proper forms to the client to fill out and file directly?

215  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Government shouldn't outlaw Private Insurance and Democrats know that on: July 27, 2019, 04:47:14 PM
If public health insurance is good enough, people should not find any reason to use private plans. Private insurance exists because there is a market for it. People who feel that what the government provides is inadequate should be free to spend their money for a product they want.

There should never be a monopoly on any product. This includes health insurance. In some ways a government monopoly is even worse than a private corporation monopoly.

    It appears that Ingram token is encouraging people to create topics promoting their airdrop. I've requested 3 topics deleted so far in the Bitcoin Technical support. It also appear that they are invading the altcoin section. Here is a sample topic created by a spammer.

I mean these spammers or so dumb that they just post some bullshit topic that is their bounty application. Looks like the moderators are going to be busy nuking accounts...

Edit: I went to their telegram channel and told an administrator that they are breaking the rules here. The administrator said they will remove the part about posting a topic on Bitcointalk for a 2000 token bounty. I hope that he keeps his word.

@OP. If you were part of the Bounty campaign, I recommend that you open up a type 2 or 3 flag on this user. Only a direct victim can open these flags. All anyone else could do is open a type one flag, which is a newbie warning flag. If you were a victim, the type 2 and 3 flags have more impact
219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Unforgettable Gambling Stories... on: July 27, 2019, 02:34:13 AM
     Well, I guess that I will tell my battle story. Back in 1993, I was playing blackjack at the Mirage casino in Las Vegas. It was a two deck game and there were lots of tens and face cards remaining in the decks, so I had placed a bigger bet of $300.00 USD. I was dealt 2 9s and the dealer was showing a 5. I split the 9s. When all was said and done, I ended up splitting 9's 3 more times, for a total of 4 hands. 1 of the hands had a 2 dealt on the 9 so I doubled down on that hand. I got a 7 for 18. After I had split four times, I got another 9 dealt and the dealer reminded me that I could not split anymore. The other two hands had 8s dealt on them. So I was sitting with 4 hands of either 18 or 17. None of the hands had a single 10 on them. The dealer then flips his card and there is a 6 under the 5. My card counting had indicated that there were a lot of 10s and faces in the deck. Needless to say, the dealer finally dealt that long overdue 10 value card. That certainly was a devastating blow. However, crazy me went to the ATM and got more money. Despite the bad hand, I believe that I actually won $5000 dollars that night.
    It's hands like this that make me question the splitting 9 move, even though that is what basic strategy states.  Cheesy
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How I lost 200,000 EURO on Bitcasino.io on: July 26, 2019, 11:00:04 PM
     I am not certain that if a game is provable fair, that bitcasino can somehow manipulate the outcomes for you to lose. They must have their slots set up to payout the bigger jackpots very rarely. Also, 30 hands in a row in blackjack does seem rather irregular. However, it is not unheard of. You can expect that about 1 in 65 million times. (Assuming a 55% lose rate in blackjack) 200K euros is a lot of money. It is even a lot of money if you are a billionaire.
    @OP, I would not recommend that you chase your losses at bitcasino any longer. You may want to try a different venue, since clearly luck is not on your side at bitcasino.

Edit: It appears that you are expected to lose 52% of the hands that do not tie with blackjack, not 55%. So losing 30 hands in a row is actually more than one in 331 million. That is really unlucky.
