Edit: Sorry for generalizing all americans. If you feel offended, then go for a walk. I challenge you to a duel of fisticuffs!

Perhaps a sub-board in Meta would be appropriate...

Think he'll ever punk Satoshi?

I wonder what they think they'll accomplish by jailing her. I wonder if they think.

It's going to be apart of its past, for sure.

The off-topic board is getting spammed with on-topic threads related to member's transaction history with other members on this site. Is there any better board where these can go, or can one be created? Off-topic isn't looking very off-topic anymore.

Shag, why not go out and get this stuff done? We've already talked enough about it, now's the time for action.

Ahh, the subjectivity that is known as evil

I got an idea: let's get into an argument over semantics

Bitcoins,as a means of an exchange still seems much more cumbersome than $s.
Sure, why not? It won't be until you're dicked over that you'll see the benefit of Bitcoin (I hope you've been reading the news lately, btw, or you might not understand what I mean.) Anyway, give it some time, and it'll be made easy peasy. Trading gold for bread isn't a simple task, either; difference being, Bitcoin's got a technological and commercial gap it has to cross. Gold is created from an exploding star and has been around for billions of years before the dawn of man, and I still can't send it to Bill in South Africa in a matter of seconds.

Lame. None of my business anyway; more incentive to stop using the Gox.

The Bible wasn't written by God, nor did every follower claim to be interpreting God's message. And people have interpreted and reinterpreted the Bible a thousand times; there's even multiple versions of it, in the same languages. What gives, man? Are you serious? Well, are they all living peacefully under one church? Or has there been endless religious warring and disagreement? Try the constitution, or the bill of rights, and then you'll have a correlation.
Not all countries' constitutions are the same either. Yeah, and the Muslims are a little bit different than the Christians but they're essentially buying the same rap. "Thou shalt not" etc.; the only case in which this cannot apply is atheism, or when applied to government, anarchism. Show me where any religious/legal document could be backed with hard fact, not a silver tongue or a heavy hand. Show me that all atheists go on killing sprees because there's no God to tell them they can't kill another person. Now show me where it says, in the Bible, or the Torah, or the Quran, that you shouldn't kill (a law,) or else you'll go to Hell (repercussion: prison.) The state is a religion. Anarchism is the rejection of that religion. Anarchism is atheism, and atheists have been getting on with life pretty fucking fine, last time I checked. How on Earth you thought a one-sentence principle compared to the Bible is frightful. I've never met a voluntary Christian, only those born or fooled into it by another Christian. Guess why atheists exist everywhere, while Christians only exist among other Christians. Go on, guess.

How can we tax air?
Same way we tax land.

There is no perfect system; there will always be criticism for anything you can think of. The question is, what system do you root for, and why have you come the conclusion that all others are inferior to yours?

Freedom of govt. won't give peace. Freedom of presidency? Maybe.
I beg to differ. War is funded by compulsory fees required to use the government. When government is voluntary, a person can decide not to pay taxes, and thus not participate in said government. Once any single government says, "I want to go to war with such and such," the natural response (I sincerely hope) from the public is "Hell no, I'm switching governments." Thus, the violent government gets no funding to wage war, and no soldiers to fight in those wars, and likely loses so much business, it has to disband. Competing governments will see a rise in citizenship and will be rewarded for taking care of their citizens, as opposed to attempting to keep a stronghold over whatever profit-related issue they're facing. Granted, it won't eliminate all war, but world wars fueled by blind nationalism will cease to exist. Educate all societies and warfare will be limited to wars of logic and reason, as opposed to wars of violence and bloodshed. This occurs when schools are allowed to exist as private businesses, or in the very least, when school is not compulsory, and when religion is shown for the sham it is (both of the divine and political sort.) World peace can never happen while the state is compulsory. This is a pipe dream, to any hardcore statists listening. There will always be someone in power, and someone who can't be trusted to handle the power they have.

Awesome! I was already a fan of Khan academy, but this is great. Reaffirms the fact that Bitcoin is only going to get more and more popular.
