The idea of course is good, but how do you imagine to live in Costa Rica, and receive a salary from new York? This is possible only among the IT companies but the competition in this market is large and therefore cannot be considered as a mass example.

If you are working in web designing or coding, then you can get similar jobs from New York or Miami, even while residing in Costa Rica or Mexico. That is the advantage of freelancing. It is mutually beneficial for the employee, as well as the employer.

Let's start with the fact that Russia did not initially correctly when captured Konigsberg and made it their enclave. In addition, the Russian General, provocateurs and aggressors. I don't know of another country which would act in our time by such methods. It is a pity that the world can't unite and boycott Russia until the collapse and abandonment of its Imperial ambitions.

You what? Germany paid the prize for attacking the USSR without any reason. And Konigsberg was not the only piece of land they lost after the war. If you remember correctly, France got the Alsace-Lorraine, and Poland got the eastern provinces (Danzig - Westpreußen, Ostpreußen, Pommern, Oberschlesien, and Niederschlesien).
21823  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump Is Damaging Press Freedom in the U.S. and Abroad on: February 27, 2017, 04:39:28 AM
Trump is not damaging any press freedom, he's playing a game where press damages itself.

Confuse? Well, let me unfold this:

- The crying babies that can't get to WH aren't losing their "press freedom", because get into a place isn't part of it - it's like if something happened at your place and you don't let a reporter get into your house; it's your right. Losing press freedom would be if they were forced to write something on someway.

Moving on:

His intent is to provoke the press into do what it has been doing since he became candidate to be candidate to POTUS: let press chasing its tail.
For an instance, we're now seeing a lot of debate about Fake News and press start shouting their Facts. Well, Fake News aren't necessarily fake, they might be just irrelevant, as irrelevant news aren't news to start with - such as making a fuss around his hair or whatever in an attempt to portrait him as a something.
When the press engages this methods for too long it slowly burns its credibility, burns itself.

I have seen opinion polls which say that the majority of the American people distrust the mainstream media. That validates your point. The media tycoons must realize that they can't fool everyone for too long.
21824  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Marine Le Pen win? on: February 27, 2017, 04:36:44 AM
I personally think she has a high chance of winning based on the current state of France as it is now, it's a place where many refugees arrived in and have made France a crime ridden area. I'm not saying the refugees caused all of this but it's a good climate for someone like her to go in and win an election.

She is also someone who is well liked by the PEOPLE and hated by the politicians on the other side based on how fierce she is. I think she is real feminist based on the type of way she really fights for womens rights, unlike the bullshit womens march and the whole hating men thing here in the United States.

She would have won, if only the native French people were allowed to vote. But unfortunately that is not the case. Some 30% of the French population is composed of immigrants, as a result of the French colonial rule during the 18th and 19th centuries. It will be tough for her.
21825  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Marine Le Pen win? on: February 27, 2017, 03:01:55 AM
It is going to be extremely difficult for Marine Le Pen. In the first round, I have no doubt that she is going to win. But in the second round, all the mainstream parties are going to unite against her. I am still curious about who will be her opponent in the second round. If it is either Benoît Hamon or François Fillon, then there is a small chance for Le Pen. But zero chance if her opponent is Emmanuel Macron.

I see it the same way. Everyone is going to team up once Le Pen is in second round (thus, she is the only opposition to mainstream that French have). Not impossible, just very, very difficult.

Also unlike Trump. Le Pen has been part of party politics for some years now. People know her, where as part of Trumps appeal was the fact, that he was never politician in the first place.

I think this is the most important point. She and her family are part of the political world for a very long time.
Her father who founded the party is an outspoken antisemit. Pretty sure she is too.

Lol
You can't be part of the FN if you're not at least a bit racist. Can be against the jews, the blacks, the arabs or even better against all.
But you can't feel at home if you're not at least one of that ^^

The same can be said about the mainstream French political parties such as the Parti socialiste, Les Républicains, and En Marche!. You can't be a part of these organizations unless you are ready to hate the native whites.
21826  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What was Milo Yiannopoulos disappointed to find at the prom? on: February 27, 2017, 02:57:03 AM
I think its about the fact that the guy said only sex with kids who are not in puberty should count as pedophilia.

Man good lord how the trump fans loved and supported a gay pedo...
But well maybe trump will legalise sex with 13 year olds then he will be only gay without being pedo  Roll Eyes

Don't twist the facts. When a 13-year old white girl was lured and sexually abused by Muslims in Germany, you said that it was consensual sex (the post may be somewhere here in Bitcointalk). Milo said that SOME of the relations between younger boys and older men are beneficial. What he said was much more palatable when compared to what you said.
21827  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are terrorists only muslim in religion? on: February 27, 2017, 02:30:37 AM
....we're currently bombing the shit out of Middle East and we've done that for years.

The problem here is you qualify citizens as "innocents" while they're not. People are not "innocent" they're responsible for what's happening right now!
Exactly who is the "we?"

Say there is a government and rebels in Syria.   Two forces at war.  One or the other enlists foreign allies.

So what?  Who is at war is (a) the rebels, with (b) the Syrian Government.

"we":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_involvement_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War

Any country involved on one of the two sides is responsible.
"we" is as much Russia as USA, even if they don't support the same side both of them are killing innocents civilians and destroying cities.

The Russian involvement in Syria can't be compared with that done by the United States. The former is operating in Syria with the permission from the democratically elected government of that country. On the other hand, the US went to Syria ignoring the Syrian sovereignty.
21828  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump Is Damaging Press Freedom in the U.S. and Abroad on: February 27, 2017, 02:27:53 AM
Trump did not attack the media as is spreading around on media. I watched the program live on cnn. He said " I am not against the media  but against the fake news media house". I was telling my friend that CNN is fake news because immediately trump said am against the fake news, CNN post on their breaking news that "Trump attack the media again".

This is not the first time it has happened. The liberal media outlets such as CNN, BBC, and MSNBC have intentionally misrepresented and lied about Trump's views, and have taken his quotes out of context. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Where is  Brad Avakian (Oregon Labor Commissioner) hiding now? Do we have any statements from him yet? It seems like he is having problems only with Christians. When Muslims harass the gays, it is perfectly halal.

Yeah... I knew it. When Obama and the Democrats do it, it is all for the greater good. When the Russians do it, then it becomes foreign interference in the American elections. Not surprising since 99% of the voter fraud in the US is done by the Democrat party.
21831  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Isn't Islam a religion of hate and violence, not peace and love? on: February 27, 2017, 02:19:15 AM
religion in general is shit

I agree. But Semitic religions (especially Islam and Evangelical Christianity) are more so. On the other hand, the oriental religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Shintoism, Taoism.etc) are by and large very peaceful.
21832  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do you think Trumps supporters still love him? on: February 27, 2017, 02:15:56 AM
I dont there were any trump supporters at all .the way he is trying to execute everything in hos own , i personally dont support him at all .not all immigrants are bad and u are opposing it in such a way would bbbbe horrible.

Trump never said that all the immigrants, especially the legal ones are bad. He is only acting against the illegal aliens, and those who hail from certain countries such as Yemen and Syria, who are more prone to terrorist links.
He says nothing specific. We can only guess what he specifically meant. Personally, I think that he is against all immigrants, because he accuses them in that they're taking jobs away from Americans. What difference to him is a legal migrant or not?

He is more concerned about companies shifting their factories away from the US, and about those illegal immigrants who commit violent crimes. These two are his topmost priorities. He is not much against the legal law abiding immigrants.
21833  Other / Politics & Society / Re: UNESCO declares Islam as the most peaceful religion of the world on: February 26, 2017, 01:59:08 PM
wow such a great news to wake up to...hm, last couple of big events had islam as a partial or main thing. Why's islam so popular all of a sudden?

But this... I don't know, it's stupid... Maybe they're trying to fix the migrant situation like this..

In the Western nations, the leftist liberals have always used Islam as a tool to counter the conservatives (who mostly rely on Christian values). This explains the undue importance given to Islam by the mainstream media and politicians.

All they did was block out cancer, this does not damage press freedom.
Unless they also blocked the Associated Press and Reuters, which are some of the very few unbiased media outlets, THEN it'd be a problem.

The Democrats have always considered the Associated Press (and especially its diplomatic writer Matt Lee) as a thorn in their flesh. Also, you must watch the former state department spokesman John Kirby bullying Gayane Chichakyan of the RT, to get a better idea of the intolerance shown by the Democrats to the media.

OPEC's pledges to stick to allocations might not have that much impact, if the US boosts output.
The price seems to be dropping now.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-oil-idUSKBN163059

The American frackers don't have the flexibility which Saudi Arabia and Russia enjoys. Their rigs are located in complicated terrain, and it takes some time to either start, or to shut down the pumping of crude oil. Finding the labor force is another hassle. If they pump crude oil at full speed now, then the oil prices will crash and their revenues will take a hit.

Yes and no.
The US frackers are preparing for trumps US oil independence. Of course they wont be able to compete with the sauds, russia or iran except in the case trump will enact a tariff for importing oil - which he said he will.
Slapping an import tax on foreign oil is going to anger a lot of Americans. It isn't going to make American oil more competitive by magically reducing the cost of it. It's going to drive up the cost of oil domestically because we'll be using more domestic oil which costs more to produce. That cost will go straight to consumers. It's not a practical solution, and if he tries t he's going to find it politically untenable.

Trump never said anything like this. He said that he may impose a tariff on the imports from Mexico, including crude oil and refined products. But if such a tariff is imposed, then the American consumer will just purchase Canadian crude instead of the Mexican crude.

- It's completely out of hands of banking system and goverments

This is a bit complicated. I would say that gold is NOT 100% immune from confiscation by the government. There is a strong chance of this happening, if you are holding paper gold (ETF). In case you are holding physical gold, then the chances are lowered, but it is still not 0%.

Bahahahahaha lmao omg I am actually laughing out loud at work, people think I am crazy.  THE MOST PEACEFUL BHAHAHAHAHAHA omg wow. just wow.

If you took the time to read whole OP you would have seen it's not a real statement Wink

It's just a hoax, and anyway I don't see why UNESCO would make any statement about a religion status.
That's not its role.

Yuuup that's right. Talking about religion, especially something that would put one over the other, would generate much controversy and i think unesco people are smarter to think about that. There's no basis as to which is better or which is more peaceful. Violence is already in human's nature and it doesnt matter which religion you belong to.

The article was first published in some satire site, but it was soon copied by the mainstream news papers in various Islamic nations (especially those in Pakistan). This is not an isolated incident. Happens quite often out there.

Also no dogs will be left ISLAM will kill them all..
I rather have a dog in my country than a MUSLIM Wink..Much nicer  Grin

Pigs and Dogs are considered "unclean" in Islam (perhaps in Judaism as well)...
I have never met a Jew that didn't love dogs.

In that case I was wrong. But there are strong similarities between certain Jewish and Islamic customs (such as the use of halal/kosher meat, and circumcision). But then the Jews are now some of the most progressive people on the earth, while the Muslims are just the opposite of that.

Buzzfeed is pure cancer. CNN and BBC lost their value in my eyes, and I believe in a lot of people too. I was reading through some CNN headlines and boy oh boy is it stupid... They'll twist everything, it's gotten out of hand. You can't compare Trumps media situation with Hitlers or Stalins, it's a completely different thing.

Yes, we should only read things that agree with the president, we must be a good little comrade and not offend Dear Leader. Trump has been a trainwreck over the last few weeks - this is only good news for America's enemies.

I don't have anything against fair criticism. But the media went overboard, spreading lies and unsubstantiated rumors about the Trump administration. The best example is the recent order suspending immigration from seven countries. The media portrayed it as some sort of a Muslim ban.

So you liberals are suddenly going ballistic for the press freedom, right? Have you forgot the verbal abuse showered on Fox News and Breitbart News Network, for their pro-conservative views? You just can't have it both ways.
