We intend to put a lot of Mexicans to work building the wall between the US and Mexico.

Lol...

Exactly, so America is going to pay for the wall, as anyone with a brain knew all along.  I'm glad we're in agreement on that.  Trump lied that there was even a remote chance in hell that Mexico were going to pay for it, but a bunch of gullible saps believed it and voted for him anyway. 

No, we're going to hire Mexicans to build the wall and pay them with money scraped from a percentage of their remittances to Mexico.

It's a bit complicated, so don't worry about it.

Unless that percentage is about 50%, you're going to come up short, heh.  Maybe you need to worry about it a little more.  $24.6 billion in yearly remittances, estimated $12-$15 billion for the wall.  What are you going to do if they discover Bitcoin?  Good luck getting any money then.   Grin

Also, it's not exactly rational that if you can suddenly acquire $12-$15 billion of revenue from that particular source, you would then spend the money to limit that source in future.  You're supposed to spend money to make money, not lose it.  No wonder most of Trump's businesses are such spectacular failures if that's how he runs things.   Grin

Bitcoin usage is heavily monitored in the United States, and some users have even been arrested by the law enforcement authorities. If the Mexicans use Bitcoins for remittance payments, then you can expect a very strong reaction from the IRS.

This guy (Kim Jong Un) seems to be mentally handicapped. But even more alarming is the fact that he is commanding an army of close to 4 million people and having multiple nuclear weapons in his possession. Is there any solution to exterminate this rabid dog?
In the event of war it will be destroyed, but not without casualties. The best way is a complete blockade. Neither the sale nor the purchase of goods should not be. Complete disconnection from SWIFT.

Only the ordinary civilians are going to suffer in case of an embargo. Kim will continue receiving millions of USD worth of gourmet food and designer clothes, through his contacts in Russia and China.

If World war III happens.

Bitcoin price 1M$ ?

It will be the other way around. The Bitcoin prices will crash with respect to the US Dollar. People will be short of cash, and they will start converting their coins to fiat cash. The demand will also be low, and this will ensure low exchange rates.

And who will buy the bonds of the government which works in debt? Today, they sell bonds to one another tomorrow, and the next day they have nothing to sell and they will default. You are going to invest in such a government?

It is very complicated. Default is the last resort, and not too many nations will have the balls to do that. If a country defaults on its debt, then it will be made a pariah in the international bond market, at least for the next few decades. It is suicidal.
In the desire to have more opportunities. If there is no money, then they will not appear. The default is a forced measure, but such variant is quite probable.

There are always ways to avoid default. A few months back, Greece was very close to defaulting on its debt. But they managed to avoid it, by paying a part of it through the sale of islands and airports. The remainder was secured through a new EU loan.

Then you are wrong. If Ukraine will restore control over the territory captured by the Russians and terrorists all odious personality can be captured and testify in court. Putin does not want this.

Even if the Kiev regime regains control of the DPR/LPR, there is no guarantee that the rebel leaders will be caught. They will just withdraw their forces (just like what they did in Kramatorsk and Sloviansk) and retreat to Russia.

To a claim against the anti-immigrant decree of the President of Trump except Hawaii joined the States of Washington, new York, Oregon and Massachusetts. The new Ordinance may not take effect.

You are ill-informed about the American legal system. A few states can't block an ordinance. Doing so requires a majority in the house or in the senate (which the Democrats doesn't have). Else, the ordinance can be suspended by the courts, but that is not going to happen this time.

i got download at piratebay site and i got malware inside my pc so maybe its good to shut it down to prevent more of the people to get viruses
Your virus won't be from the Pirate Bay, it'll be from seeders.  This is a risk which everyone has to take if they want to pirate anything.  Most people are perfectly fine.

been downloading from them since time but never get to have viruses even when i'm using windows. just chose the ones that got reputation like eztv or ergt uploaders. don't install anything from any uploads too.

I am also downloading through torrents for the last 10 years or so. I never had any issues with trojans / spyware, even when I was not using any anti-virus software (now I am using Kaspersky).
22068  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The international court of justice at the suit of Ukraine to Russia on: March 11, 2017, 05:05:45 PM
Ukraine and Russia are two Slavic friendly people, they can not fight each other. All claims are simply meaningless.
Open your eyes and look. Russia only pretends to be a friendly state. In fact, this aggressive Imperial state which considers a neighboring state as a target for expansion of their territories. In the Donbass now there is a real war of Russia against Ukraine. Crimea is Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian.

Since when did Crimea became Ukrainian territory? In 1954, right? Two hundred years before that, the territory was under the rule of Crimean Muslims, who used the ports of Crimea to ship Russian and Ukrainian slaves to the Ottoman Empire. The slave trade came to an end when the Russian Empire annexed Crimea in 1783.

haha touché  Cheesy

I hope though, this is not meant to train the newly arrived immigrants. What with their loyalties being not primarily with the host country...

The generous welfare system in Sweden has attracted huge numbers of third world immigrants, especially those from Muslim nations such as Afghanistan, Somalia, and Pakistan. These people doesn't feel any attachment with Sweden. If a war happens, then they will just immigrate to some other country.
22070  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are all american racists? Do they hate all outsiders/immigrants? on: March 11, 2017, 04:27:35 PM
When there are problems that politicians are the easiest to blame it on the arrivals of migrants. Unfortunately people don't want to think for themselves it is easier to believe the corrupt politicians. Is born a racist.

If the immigrants refrain from committing violent crimes, then no one is going to blame them. But right now, the probability of an illegal immigrant engaging in violent crime in the United States is much more than that of the legal population.
22071  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can Marine Le Pen win? on: March 11, 2017, 04:24:47 PM
I believe that she can and I believe that she will, UNLESS the elections are totally rigged and the elites take action to stop her. Which they very well might, they are simply losing too much control with the recent successful Trump campaign and BREXIT. They may take very serious actions to stop her.



Marine Le Pen as part of his platform had declared that when she wins the election she will create a local currency separate to pounds. This statement is just like saying that France is going to join the brexit and the Europian Union will make a way sto stop her winning in the election so that no more countries will leave the union anymore. The union knew that they will suffer a big deal if another country will going to exit the union.

Perhaps she should bring back the Franc and replace the Euro. Aside from the initial hiccups, it will be beneficial for the French economy in the long term. Also, the French central bank will be having better control over their national currency.
I don't think the French have something to gain from what comes out of the Eurozone and especially do not believe that the return of Frank revive the economy of France.

They are not gaining anything by continuing to use the Euro. Just check how much value the currency has lost versus the United States Dollar, during the last two or three years. I have a feeling that the Franc won't do much worse.
22072  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people hate islam? on: March 11, 2017, 04:16:09 PM
The jihadists deliberately provoke hatred of Islam. Probably they are preparing an invasion of the West, and in an atmosphere of hatred easier to recruit new warriors.

There is no need for a new invasion, as the continent is already being invaded by the so called "rapefugees" from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The only difference is that it is a demographic invasion, rather than a military invasion.

Good luck with that. Erdogan has wasted no time in restoring friendly relations with Russia. Just a few days back, he was in Moscow for talks with Putin. Soon Erdogan will recognize Crimea as a part of Russia.

I have a car from Holland. It installed equipment for the use of LPG. Gasoline consumption in the city of 8 liters and 8 liters of gas. The dynamics of the car on gas even better.

I was referring to LNG/CNG and you were referring to LPG. Both are different. LPG is slightly more efficient than LNG, but even then it is around 20% less efficient when compared to gasoline. 1 liter of gasoline is equivalent to 1.2470 liters of LPG.

Is it illegal for unmarried tourists as well?

It is illegal, but people get prosecuted for unmarital sex extremely rarely in the United Arab Emirates. What happened with this couple was that they were plain stupid and ignorant of the rules.

TABOO. It was never the only way to survive. Even in winter there is a bark, dry grass, needles and small branches of bushes, berry ... Cannibalism in civilization - the behavior of unprepared people.

How can you be so sure that it is not the only way? What if you are stranded in some arctic island with no land nearby? Or imagine a situation where you are stranded in the middle of the Sahara desert. For sure there are no berries and bushes in the desert.
22077  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Black Market in DPRK (the proof from Russia) North Korean Labor camps in Russia. on: March 11, 2017, 03:38:02 PM
As shown by the map it is very clear that those activities were done near the boundaries between North Korea and Russia.

Nope. The Russian-North Korean border is just 17 kilometers long, and most of it is along the Tumen river. The city of Rason is located in the Korean side, and rural areas are located on the Russian side.

On the other hand, Tynda is located thousands of kilometers away from the Korean border.

Turkey is the same country where more than 2,000 Kurds were massacred recently just because of their ethnicity. And we have to remember that they are yet to apologize for the genocide of the Greeks, Assyrians and Armenians in 1918.
22079  Other / Politics & Society / Re: No Help from Islamic Nations. on: March 10, 2017, 09:02:34 AM
Why do you think that the work of Syrians in Turkey a slave? They are paid money for work. If they think that the money is small then it does not work. It is normal market relations. Why pay more if you have the opportunity to pay less?

They are forced to work, as they don't have any other option. The disbursement of free food and medicine to the refugees in Turkey is very much sporadic. The construction companies are making use of this situation, by asking the refugees to work for $5 per day ($0.5 per hour).
