For me all Muslims are terrorists. They live in a strange world to me. They do not value human life. I hate them. I can not understand why they are allowed into Europe. They will not bring anything good.

I don't understand the immigration policy of these Western nations. They give preference to the illiterate and the criminals, while educated and skilled immigrants are seldom allowed in. What is the logic behind this?
I am also on your side. Can such a policy is a provocation aimed at the disintegration of the European Union? Someone who is very interested in its collapse. The migrant crisis is probably the only effective method. I think that is the reason pushed the UK to the exit.

The Brexit would have never happened, had Angela Merkel refrained from importing all those Muslim immigrants from Syria and Pakistan. The EU is disintegrating. After the UK, it is going to be Italy, Netherlands and Greece.

I've read somewhere that Pakistan get funds from China and other countries to train terrorists and kill people in India it could be wrong though but looking at Pakistan it looks true. Even Pakistan neighboring countries wants to depart from Pakistan. 

Pakistan is the main sponsor of terrorism in India and Afghanistan. China is their major ally, and Chinese investment has helped Pakistan to come up with several major infrastructural projects. But it came at a cost. Pakistan gave away the Trans-Karakoram tract (Shaksgam Valley) to China in exchange for the funds and technological help.

When Barack Obama wanted to remove the sanctions against Iran are only the news of this provoked the fall of prices on the market, besides, Iran is not going to cut oil production by OPEC's decision. Iran is not beneficial to Russia

Iran is one of the top importers of Russian defense equipment (partly because they can't get the western stuff). The bilateral trade between Russia and Iran is huge and they have shared interests in Yemen and Syria. So you can't say that Iran is not beneficial to Russia.
Iran is beneficial for Russia only as a buyer of Russian weapons obsolete. As long as Iran is under sanctions he could not buy Western weapons and can not trade oil. All this suggests that when Trump decides to extend sanctions against Iran, he acts in the interests of Russia.

Trump wants to punish Iran (for obvious reasons). He is not much bothered about Russia. And Iran is not the top-most importer of the Russian equipment. India comes first, if I am not wrong.

What makes you think that Putin is the most powerful man in the world? Indeed, in Russia a lot of weapons but it's quite old. Russia's population is quite small. Russia's economy is backward. What you see the greatness of Putin and Russia.

It was the Forbes Magazine which elected him as the most powerful person in the world (four times in a row now). And you should remember that Forbes is based in the United States. Russia's population is not small. It is two times the size of that of Germany.

Than more civilized the country the less it children have been born. Due to the fact that cultured people take care of their children. Poor Muslims who come to Europe do not care about the children and about yourself. They want to live at the expense of children.

It depends upon the family values and religion. European countries such as France and Ireland are having pretty good birth rates (close to 2.0 children per woman). On the other hand, the East Asian countries (South Korea, Japan.etc) are having the lowest birth rates in the world, partly due to the cultural difference.
I can't speak for Ireland I was not there but France has so many Muslims. Probably the high level of fertility in France is related to this. I have the impression that soon the indigenous French are in the minority
Damn shitty spammers...
Your impression is not only stupid, it's false and pure FUD
France has 7% of Muslims!!!
Stop talking about incredible invasion or how French non muslims will be a minority!

7% is definitely too low to believe. In 2014, more than 37% of the children born in France had at least one parent, whose ethnic origin is from Africa, Middle East, or Asia. A large part of these may be Muslims. Check this map:

I do not know many countries that consider Bitcoin illegal, where did you get this information? Even China, which has a very authoritarian government, does not consider Bitcoin as an illegal currency, despite imposing a series of restrictions.

There are several countries around the world, where trade or even possession of Bitcoins are illegal. Examples are Thailand and Iceland. You can check the map below, to find out the legal status (green = legal, red = illegal):

22847  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What is going on in Venezuela??? on: February 17, 2017, 05:26:01 AM
Venezuela is going through rough times now, there are internal and external problems, but the country won't fail and it will not stay that way forever. With a huge oil reserve and minerals, the country has a huge potential.

I know that Venezuela is having huge deposits of crude oil. But most of these deposits are in the form of heavy oil, in the Orinoco basin. The cost of extraction is very high, and at current prices they are not economically viable for commercial extraction.
It seems to me that the reason lies elsewhere. Whatever the cost of oil, but Venezuela has always been one of the leaders in sales of oil. It seems to me that the reason is that Chavez collaborated with the Soviet Union.

Chavez nationalized most of the oil companies and kicked out the Western corporations. But the issue was that all the revenues were going to the state treasury, while the oil companies got nothing left for investing in the new projects.

A practice of cannibalism in Brazil is common.
Watch this video recorded in the Brazilian prisons

Prison inmates behave differently from the general population. Normally, the inmate will try to prove that he is the most brutal among the whole lot. Else, he can expect some other inmate to anally rape him. Cannibalism is just a tactic to avoid anal rape in the prisons.

I wonder what gave these countries a ban on abortion? I'll tell you anything. This idiocy is engaged in Islamic and Catholic countries. But fortunately for women in these countries always have neighbors who will gladly help to terminate the pregnancy.

I believe that abortion rights are beneficial to the demographic health of a country. Take the case of Catholic nations such as Poland and Italy, where performing abortions are very difficult. The fertility rate there is around 1.3 children per woman. On the other hand, in countries such as Belarus and Russia (where abortion is perfectly legal), the fertility rate is around 1.8 children per woman.

I in 1933, Stalin gave Ukraine the Holodomor. Killed several million people from starvation. Said that then there were cases of cannibalism. People ate the most weak children to survive the rest. Of course it's terrible.

Cannibalism is somewhat common during the famines. Even recently (during the 1990s), there were reports of cannibalism from North Korea, after that country went through a severe famine.

What?
No it's not. Are you crazy?
Stop spreading such fake and stupid information! Islam might not be "the most peaceful religion on earth" but it doesn't mean that all Muslims and Muslim countries are crazy motherfucker!
It's perfectly legal in Turkey, it's "illegal" in only 5 of the 13 states of Malaysia and i say "illegal" because you just need the approval of the Shariah court and they nearly always give it and it's legal in Indonesia!

It may not be de jure punishable by death, but in Turkey apostasy normally invites a de facto death sentence. Converts to Christianity from Islam are often killed, and the police never pursue these crimes.

Because our polish friends already do that.
Millions of polnish people are working in the uk and germany.
The missing people in poland are mainly replaced by ukranians.

The upper estimate for the number of Ukrainian (temporary) immigrants in Poland is 400,000. That is about one-eighth of the number in Russia. There are no "missing people" in Poland. Because, prior to the EU membership, Poland had an excess population.

You understand that it doesn't make any sense do you?
Where? Who takes the decision? What do you do about all the bisexual? How do you separate families?
And what is even the point? To make you "feel more comfortable"?
Why don't we just kill or deport you instead? It would be a lot easier!

Separating families? Do you understand the meaning of the word homosexual? A homosexual will not be having a heterosexual partner. And regarding bisexuals, they can have dual citizenship. When ever they are in a mood for gay sex, they can visit the gay nation and have their fun.
22854  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drug free in the Philippines on: February 17, 2017, 02:07:13 AM
In my opinion you can't have an absolute drug free environment even if you eradicate all drug users, pusher and dealers in the Philippines. If there were still available mode of obtaining and bypassing the import of drug through illegal means then you can't say it had been deal with.But at least the government was doing their best to reduce the number of drug used by raiding and cutting the supplies inside the Philippines but not on unjust killings though.

These raids and killings will not reduce the drug supply permanently. There will be only a temporary dip. If the drug dealers are eliminated, then the drugs will be supplied through dark markets.

22856  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it profitable to run a Bitcoin faucet in 2017 on: February 16, 2017, 09:27:48 AM
Yes. If you use the right methods, then you may be able to earn a lot more in (advertisement) revenues when compared to the expenses. Keep in mind that you need to set a slightly harder threshold. If your faucet is giving 0.001 mBTC at a time, then make the threshold 0.1 mBTC. The user needs to visit the site 100 times, before he can withdraw the payment. Only a very few are going to have that much patience.

Correct. but this is only good for the beginner in this world. Like what you said you withdraw 0.1mbtc you needs to visit the site 100x, well that is really tiring and waste of time. Yes you earn but small amount of satshi only. In short its not profitable.

That is the point. It is not at all beneficial for the visitors. But the site owner can make money out of it, through the advertisement revenues. If 1,000 individuals visit this website every day, just 4 or 5 will have the patience to continuously doing it for 100 days.
22857  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: February 16, 2017, 09:25:01 AM
I'd go with gold, BTC is still a little to new and volital.

Thats why big investors are using bitcoin and not gold anymore, why would you invest into something that can be manipulated by countries anytime they wanna? Bitcoin can be manipulated as well, but its about community to support it or not, last year we had a small example of the pump interest ant the community support over it, currently you able to make money all days something i dont see gold being able to change soo much in a short period. Gold has it potencial exposed on the last 30 years, nowadays makes no sense invest, knowing that crypto world is plenty of opportunities to make your investment return faster and easy

That claim is mostly rubbish

More specifically, what big-time investors do you know that invest in Bitcoin? Apart from the Winklevoss twins which are said to have invested something like 100M dollars (if I'm not mistaken), I don't know of anyone so deeply engaged with Bitcoin. On the other hand (in regard to gold being abandoned by big investors), George Soros (worth over 25B dollars), for example, is heavily involved in trading gold derivatives (such as gold options) as well as stock of gold mining companies. Warren Buffett does not invest in gold, though he is rumored to have invested almost 1B dollars in silver. The Winklevoss twins are small fish beside these whales

Excellent post. Earlier, there were rumors that some of the billionaires were considering to invest in Bitcoin. The names of Reid Hoffman and Richard Branson came up most frequently. But in the end, these rumors proved to be unfounded and baseless.
22858  Other / Politics & Society / Re: World War III ? on: February 16, 2017, 09:13:45 AM
I don't think it could happen because the nuclear technology will destroy the entire planet. But with everything that is happening today we are not safe that a third world war happens.

At the most, a few thousand people may be able to escape (temporarily) in space shuttles and space stations. But their long term survival is in serious doubt. There will be a scarcity of food and water. The survivors will cannibalize each other in the end.
Where you will find a number of space ships and stations to accommodate them, a thousand people? No is not an option. The main way to survive is not to start a nuclear war at all.

What is the cost of manufacturing a space shuttle? $100 billion perhaps? We may be able to manufacture them at $10 billion a piece, if mass production is done. And the total net wealth of all the humans right now is around $300 trillion. Just calculate how many shuttles can be created.

There will be no black market for organs, if the government legalizes organ trade. What is wrong, if some poor guy is able to sell his kidney for $100,000 at a government run hospital? If he goes to the back market, he will get just $5,000 or $10,000, with the rest eaten up by the middlemen.
