This is not strange for me. Always the same things were happened and will not ever be changed. According to the live count of Forbes, only on the last day (of count) Warren Buffet, the third richest man in the world, added US $ 1.3 billion in his fortune. Check out the ranking of 2016 http://www.forbes.com/billionaires/list/#version:realtime


Today he lost 201 million dollars. It's certainly not a very big loss if we compare with his status, but still a loss. I believe that exchange was conceived as an aid to investing, but now they are just an object for speculation.

The methodology is wrong. His net worth was calculated using the market price of the Berkshire Hathway stock. Only a small part of the stocks are in floating mode. If Buffet dumps some of his own (non-floating) shares into the market, then the price will crash.

You read the new update on the article ? since this story was posted, Mr Assange's lawyer has suggested that the clemency granted to Chelsea Manning is unsatisfactory and he will not accept extradition.

ROFL. Assange is not a complete idiot to turn himself over to the CIA. They would torture him for days, before murdering him. No one has damaged the CIA more than Assange and his Wkileaks.

Nowadays, there are not many avenues to use Bitcoin as a currency. Only a few online shops and a handful of restaurants / cafeterias accept payments in Bitcoin. Also, Bitcoin has given almost 300% returns in the past year. This makes it more like an investment rather than a currency.

On the other hand, how good is natural gas for small passenger cars?

Wouldn't it require too much volume for the same distance compared to gasoline?

Unless we are talking about liquid hydrogen as fuel, of course

Yes... that is one issue with CNG (compressed natural gas). The cars need to be recharged every 150 or 160 km. But then, there is a massive reduction in pollution. The Carbon Monoxide emissions are reduced by 90% and Hydrocarbon emissions by 60% when compared to the gasoline-run vehicles.

Bitcoin is growing very fast, so if you are looking for longer investment, Bitcoin is better choice.

No. In my opinion, Bitcoin is more suited to short-term and medium-term investment, with frequent profit booking. Holding your coins for 10 or 15 years is extremely risky. There is a chance that Bitcoin will become obsolete by then.

Great! So this is an example of good news from the United States neutralizing the bad news from China? That should be the case, ideally. After all, the trade volumes from China are always inflated (due to zero fees).
22587  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Ex-CIA Agent Admits In Court We Run Afghan Opium Trade on: January 18, 2017, 09:05:37 AM
I always knew this. If you look at opium production in Afghanistan you'll notice that in 2001 it fell sharply. That is when the Taliban started to burn down the crops because it conflicted with sharia law. After the US went in the production started to rise sharply. Now its near it all time high.

Perhaps this is the real reason behind the American invasion of Afghanistan. It should be noted that the Americans invaded Afghanistan shortly after the Taliban banned opium poppy. The Americans toppled the Taliban, so that opium keeps flowing out of that country.
22588  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S.A a nation of evil on: January 18, 2017, 09:03:17 AM
I think it depends on your definition of evil. I can think of many worse countries.

Right. For example there are countries such as North Korea and Sudan. But what makes the US different is the fact that they are frequently invading other third world nations and provoking violence and chaos.

Did Istanbul made a wrong move that these terrorists keep on bombing Istanbul. As I remember it is not the first time that Istanbul was bombed, last year I read that it was attacked also by bombers.

The ISIS guys consider Erdogan as a traitor. That is why they are continuously targeting Istanbul, Ankara, and the other Turkish cities. When the crude oil price was high, Erdogan entered in to an alliance with the ISIS and purchased crude oil from them. But once the prices crashed, he went back on his promises and launched a military operation against them.

There were other options - Gary Johnson.

Yeah, sure. Gary Johnson was a serious candidate. The guy who got less than 4% of the total vote, and ZERO electoral college votes was going to defeat Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Come to your senses...

Im agree that Drugs is never be die.So we need to lessen the drugs by neutralizing their Drug dealers, suppliers and most of all the drug lords.If the drugs backed by the government officials (Narco Politicians)we didn't neutralize drugs that happening around the world

As long as profits could be made from drug trafficking, there will be people who are ready to take the risk. If an individual has to chose from starving to death and getting shot by the vigilantes, then some will chose the latter option.

If they do that, then it will be good for the British economy and the British citizens. Why the British should spend their money in subsidizing the East European parasites, when Germany is reaping all the political benefits?

If you like, Trump the start-up capital by his father. I think that with the release of the land helped. Look how we live the children of the rich. How do you say in Russian "Money goes to money". You agree with this idea?

Trump managed to convert an investment of $30 million given by his father to a $3 billion business. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who inherited fortunes worth billions, but ended up as dirt poor.

And do you understand that only 1 million migrants came last year? Even if they were ALL active muslims (which is not the case) it would still make not even 0.4% of European population... How do you go from 5% to 30% with 1 million of migrants? Even with 10 millions for god sake!!!

http://www.ibtimes.com/europes-refugee-crisis-germany-registered-over-1-million-asylum-seekers-2015-2251590

In 2015, Germany received 1.1 million asylum applications from Muslim immigrants. Out of this, 430,000 were from Syria, 154,046 were from Afghanistan and 121,662 were from Iraq. 80% of the applications were made by single men. After family re-unification, we can expect this 1 million to climb to 6 to 8 million.

Total population of Germany is 80 million. That is 10% increase in Muslim population in a single year. It is obvious to everyone, with the exception of retards.

They already are. Stable Muslim countries are litteraly flooded with refugees. They welcome as many as they can but there are dozens of millions of refugees fleeing OUR ARMIES in Middle East...

The world's richest country (Qatar) has accepted a total of ZERO refugees so far. Saudi Arabia has accepted a total of three. And these two countries were even more involved than the EU/US in the Syrian civil war. Do you have any more excuses?

Melanie is such a beauty. I think trump has a good taste for beauty.

When Trump was having straight sex with Melania, Hillary was having lesbian relations with Janet Reno and Huma Abedin (and countless other women). Now decide yourself who had the better taste for beauty.
22597  Other / Politics & Society / Re: GOODBYE OBAMA ! on: January 18, 2017, 06:23:07 AM
Yeah i agree. I think too much bkame has been directed to obama here. Yeah there are some things he did which also didn't sit well with me but let's be honest here, there's more to give credit to thus guy than what is being given. He's a lot better than bush if you ask me

Bush was horrible, and Obama was even worse. Hillary would have been even more terrible, but she lost. Let's look at the stats from Obama's term. He managed to double the federal debt to almost $20 trillion. Do you really think that this is a good move?
Do you think Trump will manage to lower the debt during his first term? I am afraid this is impossible at this point.
US entered debt spiral and no matter what future president will do, debt gain can't be reversed it will only grow, maybe slower, but grow nonetheless.

At least he will be able to prevent the federal debt from ballooning even further. If the GDP grows, and the federal debt remains stable, then the debt to GDP ratio will improve. This will do wonders for the US economy.

A billion dollars is a lot of money for all of us.

It was more like a business investment for him. If Hillary had won the elections, then he would have received tens of billions of USD worth of tax breaks and grants for his corporations. But he was unlucky this time.
22599  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Which countries allow HIV positive people to work into? on: January 18, 2017, 06:18:02 AM
I believe in Philippines, you are not required HIV screening for your pre-employment. Are there any countries that allow you to work if you are HIV positive?
I don't think so, maybe it depends of the nature of the work. Mostly or should I say 98% of all the companies don't do HIV screening. Though, I haven't encounter a person who has HIV, but he./she knows how to handle it and it cannot affect your work then its possible to have a normal life.
How about in the middle east, wherein if you are caught with HIV, you will be kicked out of the country immediately. Or perhaps how about in Europe, wherein if you plan on staying there for a year or so, you will be required to get tested and if you are reactive then they will not let you in. Just saying..

In the middle east, they will kick you out if you are not a citizen. If you have the citizenship, then there is nothing to worry about. The treatment is free, and you will face no harassment even if they know that you got the virus from gay sex.

Hitler was not a christian but a protomuslim, he even blamed christianity for his failures.

Hitler was a practicing Catholic, but he was never serious about religion. For him, race was more important than religion. The Pope Pius XII, who was the head of Catholic church during the WW2, had good relations with Hitler.
