What are entry requirements for Somalia?
Just hire sufficient private security get some land there and settle in.
Which Somalian country? There is no unified government in Somalia. Currently it is consisted of a dozen or more "breakaway" states such as Puntland, Somaliland, Jubaland, the region under Al Shabab.etc Also, knowledge of German language can help in some places: http://www.thelocal.de/20100523/27373 |

For western nations, I am seeing a trend that is decidedly against immigration. Within the next decade or two, immigration will be severely curtailed, and many so-called 'immigrants' who have absolutely no reason to respect the nation of their residence will face a choice: Be removed by force, or leave of their own free will. I don't think so. On the other hand, I see the migration policies getting more and more liberalized. The EU has almost finalized its plans to import 50 million African workers: http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/65628/Secret-plot-to-let-50million-African-workers-into-EUThe US on the other-hand, is going to legalize some 20 million+ illegal immigrants. The only nation which has so far violently reacted to illegal immigration (Russia) has significantly eased its policy since 2010. |

It is a more or less tacitly understood fact that OPEC nations are lying out of their asses about how much oil they have left.
Why blame the OPEC when your own leaders are under the control of the petroleum lobby. How many people know that bio-diesel is much cheaper (at current) rates when compared to crude oil? Still, most of the nations levy unrealistic taxes on bio-diesel and discourages the production.    |

Hitler and Stalin killed too many Russian people. Else a combined Russian - Ukrainian - Belorussian - Moldvin state would have had a population of 600 million today, and would have had twice as much power as the US is currently having.

Lets triple that amount to 2800:). And add another 1 million foreigners that will dig their way through the Swiss Alps , get one time machine and in 10 years you're going to ask yourself: "What the hell happened to Switzerland !  " Some 500 million plus people with Schengen visas and you are saying that just 1 million will climb the Swiss Alps? I think we can be pretty sure of at least 2 million from Romania alone. The monetary reserves will run out in 10-12 months. After that we can sell the Swiss Alps, peak by peak. Once that finishes, we can auction parts of the Lake Geneva. |

Gas reserves + revolution's getting awful popular, maybe the fumes send people mad or something. Screw both of them, sign up with glorious peoples republic of China instead and raise a real shitstorm  China is already buying up all the quality farmland in Ukraine for a few pennies per acre. Not only in Ukraine, they have also bought farmland in may other smaller European nations. |

Why don't you list all the wars and invasions and coos and puppet governments America has been involved in? Guarantee it dwarfs Chinas list.
Not only the invasions. You should also count the "war by proxy" methodology followed by the Americans. A classic example is the Afghanistan involvement in the 1980s. USA gave Taliban fighters Stinger missiles, so that they'll fight the Soviets. Now many of those Stinger missiles are in the possession of the Iranian military, after Taliban sold them for money. At that time, the Taliban were freedom fighters for the Americans, and terrorists for the Russians. Same case here. The ANC were regarded as "freedom fighters" by some, and as "terrorists" by someone else. |

I was an active Wikipedian from 2005, until 2011. Once they got the publicity, they became arrogant. The old users, who created the base for them to grow were quickly ignored. Most of the sections are now controlled by organized cabals, funded by propaganda organizations. I'll not return to WP even if they start accepting BTC.

Given the choice between the two, I can see no reason at all to use PayPal.
Hmmm.... at this point, it is pretty immature to claim that there is no advantage in using Paypal. It is easy to fund your account, and PP is accepted by 99% of the online merchants. |

Unfortunately, that experience looks like a total nightmare. It's characterized by radical instability, chaos, the rise of a boss-class of criminals who assassinate people they don't like, and a mass handover of wealth to a minority even smaller than the 1% that currently lauds it in the United States. 1. Instability - was there any? 2. Chaos - not much right now 3. Criminal class - I would say that the share of criminals among the bictoiners is much lower than that among the bankers. 4. Wealthy minority - Well... don't get jealous. Had you purchased the BTCs when they were $0.06 a piece, then you'd have been wealthy too. |

That's true.
Can anyone recommend any decent films/docs on him as well?
Hmm... that is quite easy. Let's start with Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. Invictus is also pretty good, but not unbiased. Cry Freedom is another decent movie. |

And why are the books banned? Were they written by slanderous racist twats or something?
I meant that they are not be available from mainstream book stores. Well... one man's hero is another's terrorist.  |
|
|

Does anyone know of any good books on Mandela? I'd like to read an impartial one if possible, but also ones who considered him a terrorist and those that considered him a hero - or perhaps even both.
I'd recommend his autobiography. Can be purchased from the Amazon for $11.35. Most of the books which portray him as a terrorist are banned in online stores like Amazon, and might be available only from the black-markets. |

The author don't know what he is writing about. The article says that the exchange refused to convert his coins back to USD. Then why can't he go to some other exchange? Just sounds ridiculous.

this is real proof that the banks are shitting their pants because their were too lazy and greedy to update an ancient system. If we got the greedy bankers scared to $hit, then I think this is one of the best news as far as the Bitcoin sector is concerned. I don't want to lose my calm.... but if Morgan tries to take out the BTC, then I think it is going to end badly for them. There are tens, if not hundreds if thousands of Bitcoin enthusiasts around the world right now, and that number includes a large number of hackers and black-hat specialists. Enough said! |

Nice to see this issue getting so much of coverage in CNN. And the program was more or less unbiased as well.
My prediction is that by 2016, some BTC payment processor will overtake Bitcoin in market share.

How many per cent of all USD is held by the 900 richest people in USA?
Definitely not 50%. Should be much less than that amount. The richest 1% (somewhere around 2 to 3 million people) hold 42% of the wealth in the USA. So should be somewhere around 10-20%. |

No. So far I haven't lost my faith in the BTCs even for a micro-second.
But I know a number of people, many of them among the earliest supporters of Bitcoin losing faith in it. The reason was fraud, wallet theft.etc.

The fee is supped to be a sub cent amount. but with bitcoin gaining value and at times losing value its hard for the devs to know exactly when to adjust the fee in the client.
Hmm... the fee was reduced only a few months ago. The developers have proved on many occasions that they are not as greedy as Paypal or the bankers. I have a feeling that another fee-cut is coming soon. |
