The most feared is a repeat of the tragedy back in 1998 in Indonesia where the slaughter genocide descendants of china or better known tragedy 98

Just remember that the China in 1998 was different from the China in 2017. China is one of the super-powers now. And if you think that they will just sit back and watch if the ethnic Chinese get slaughtered in Indonesia, then you are wrong.

If A and B cost the same, I'll take "A," because I view it as a really serious effort with the highest payoffs.  "B" does not appear serious in that sense.

It is not just the cost. A manned mission to the mars is extremely dangerous, and there is a very good chance of the astronauts dying before the mission could be completed. We need to look in to that aspect as well.

I don't believe that man can be strong and muscular without meat in his ration

No. It is possible. If you intake good quantities of protein, then your muscles will be strong and big. I agree that meat is a good source of protein. But there are other purely vegetarian sources as well, such as cheese, soya, yogurt, whey.etc.
22904  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump first action as a president: attack abortion right on: January 27, 2017, 04:50:52 PM
I think all welfare should be gone.

Why do you want to fund abortion organizations, so that women wont have kids, so then you dont have workers, and then the pension system collapses Cheesy

Abortions should be performed without any fees at least for the American citizens. For the government, it is better to have an one time expense of $5,000 or $10,000, rather than spending close to $500,000 in welfare payments later. Also, the world is overpopulated and therefore we should be looking at ways to reduce the population.

Abortion is not a moral thing and it is unjust. It is killing an innocent life. Trump is right when he says no to abortion it is very humane and act of upholding morality. Abortion is not an answer to overpopulation, the main answer in overpopulation starts with the family. The government must focus on the morality of the family and the virtues of the children, and with it sex will be sacred and overpopulation will no longer a problem.

Abortion is not equivalent to murder. A fetus is not an independent living being. It's life depends on the mother. So it is up to the mother to decide whether she want to keep the fetus or not.

According to newsreports every month shootings and killings taking place in schools

You are funny. Are you sure that you are referring to the schools in the United States? Or did you mistook Mexican or South African schools for the American schools? The American schools may not be safer than the European ones. But they are not as dangerous as those in the third world nations.
22906  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Donald Trump trolled by former Mexican president on: January 27, 2017, 04:45:17 PM
The arrogance of the Mexicans has given opportunity for Trump to justify his actions. Mexicans must remember that they are the lawbreakers. They must be thankful to the United States for accommodating so many Mexicans, including some 2 million criminals.

There is no need for us to avoid death penalty if we are a law abiding citizen , The Death Penalty Law is literally for us because it threatened criminals not to commit a crime , But if they really going to pursue the death penalty they just have to make sure that no innocent people will be convicted.
I am one of those who believes in the administration of President Duterte, if he will push death penalty I will 100 % support him.
It is right that we should give justice for the victim especially rape and murder victim. If I were to ask, they should not remove the death penalty because of that a lot of people did not afraid of doing a crime.

But then Duterte must also make sure that justice is delivered on time. If a court judgement lags on for 20 or 30 years, then it is akin to punishing the victim. Unfortunately, this is very common in third world nations.

By standing up to that dictator and uniting all the people in your country to Fight for your freedom Smiley
Well if that dictator has some good reasons why not if those rules is for the sake and well being of its civilians. Why not

There is no doubt that at least some of the dictators in power are better than the democratically elected rulers. One example is Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus. He never allowed the oligarchs to loot the Belorussian national wealth, unlike the case with Russia and Ukraine. As a result, the death rate in Belarus is lower than that in Ukraine and Russia.
22909  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Dangerous country on: January 27, 2017, 04:39:51 PM
I honestly think Australia is the most dangerous country, the place is literally clawing with dangerous and venomous animals the likes i have never seen before. One is not even safe inside his own home. I read once read about a man who woke up with a snake in his name an when he returned it to the forestry department he woke up about a week ago if the same snake in his bed luckily the snake was not venomous.

There is a reason for this. Most of Australia is desert or semi-desert. However, there is an abundance of water and humidity in the populated areas. Unfortunately, some of these populated localities are situated near to the desert. So naturally, snakes, spiders, scorpions.etc are attracted towards the houses and apartments, were the humidity level is high.

it is painfull to see someone loose so many btc's, trading is always risky and shorting is too.

Yup. Engage yourself in margin trading only if you can afford to lose big. It is just like online gambling. Either you lose all your money, or you win big. In my opinion, noobs must refrain from it, before it becomes an addiction.
22911  Economy / Economics / Re: Long term OIL on: January 25, 2017, 05:45:25 AM
Most populous American cities are located either on the oceanic coast (e.g. LA, SF, NY) or on the coast of big lakes (e.g. Chicago) while in India and China the most polluted cities (their capitals) are strictly continental. I guess this has much more influence on pollution than the number of cars as such. Further, I don't think that NY is less crowded overall than, say, Delhi, and it certainly has more cars. On the other hand, how many Americans can really afford electric cars?

They still seem to be pretty much a toy in the hands of the rich and superrich

You are right. Some of the most populous Indian cities (such as Delhi, Lucknow, and Kanpur) are located thousands of miles away from the coast. And also, the public transport system is horrible in India. So people prefer to use their own vehicles.

USA will not default and their economy will not crash, politics just wouldn't allow that. But I don't think they will ever repay that debt either

The first part and second part of your post is contradictory to each other. If you don't repay your debt, it is called "default". The United States of America has never defaulted on loan repayments anytime in the recorded history.

To me i believe they are trying to play politic if you examine it you will find out PayPal is not happy with the rise of bitcoin,they may talk to fiverr not to accept bitcoin but only PayPal so that PayPal will still be the dominant e money

At first, the PayPal guys were really concerned about Bitcoin. But after 2014, they have realized that their main competitors are Skrill and Qiwipay, and not Bitcoin. They are not spending much on negative propaganda against Bitcoin now.

Illegal drug cartels ARE $billions lost for the legal drug cartels... and sometimes the other way around, as well.

Cool

Cocaine, LSD, meth.etc are not legal. So the legal drug cartels (big pharma) profits only when some of these drug users shift to alternatives such as Propylhexedrine, Oxymetazoline, Oxymorphone, Dextromethorphan, and Doxylamine.

And now we have legal pot, which has forms of inexpensive, really-good "medicine" within, that is working far better than the medical legal drugs, and is cutting into medical profits. Soon pot will be legal to the extent that it will be grown in the back yard of every home, for medicinal purposes. The medical drug cartel will die.

Cool

Marijuana is a good painkiller. It is inexpensive and more effective. And moreover, it is having no significant adverse effects, when compared to other industrial painkillers such as Hydrocodone and Demerol. But other than that, it has no medicinal properties.
22915  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Man-made global warming = Govt take care me for life on: January 25, 2017, 05:31:06 AM
I agree with you. All carbon dioxide trees could absorb. The problem is that talking about the transition to alternative sources of energy while not forcing consumers of the forest to recover the amount.

Deforestation is actually one of the main reasons for global warming. 13,000,000 hectares of forests are cut down or burned every year, and most of this deforestation occurs in tropical countries such as Brazil, Peru, Indonesia (the current global leader in deforestation) and DRC.
22916  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is taxation theft? on: January 25, 2017, 05:24:56 AM
ofc it is. how do you think our governments otherwise could run all those wars without our support.

That is correct. The Iraq invasion alone cost around $2 trillion for the American treasury. And this is not the final bill. The US is still spending huge amounts in Iraq, to support its puppet regime. Another example is the F-35 program, which is expected to cost another $2 trillion.
They also stole a lot from iraq. Saddam's vault is now being put to use to make new weapons for the United States. Freedom and democracy!

Most of the oil and gas fields in Iraq are now owned by the American corporations. Actually, this was one of the main reasons why the US invaded Iraq in the first place. But the US government miscalculated the (financial / human) cost of such an invasion.
22917  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: January 25, 2017, 05:22:58 AM
I am a Hindu and most Hindu's don't like Muslims. I wouldn't say hate. but they don't like them.
I seriously don't get why. I guess it's all because of the media. The media controls us and makes us believe a lot of shit. There is no reason to hate anyone from any religion or culture.

If someone is an asshole, hate him, don't hate the whole religion. XD

I am a Hindu as well, and I don't like Muslims. During the past 1,000 years, Muslims have killed more than 200 million Hindus and enslaved hundreds of millions more. Even now, persecution against Hindus by the Muslims is going on in regions such as Kashmir, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

but he will soon encounter enemies bigger and meaner than him.

His biggest enemies are not from the Democrat party, but within his own party. I am talking about the RINOs in the Gang of 14 cartel, such as Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Olympia Snowe, and Marco Rubio.
22919  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Just 8 men own same wealth as half the world on: January 25, 2017, 04:30:22 AM
No.
Most of them come from very wealthy families, at least rich enough to pay them the best education.
You don't become poor because you're lazy. You become poor because you were born poor AND you don't have enough will, work, education and luck to become rich.

IMO, the education must be 100% free, up to the University level. In addition to that, the students must get reimbursement for their conveyance and food/stationary expenses. This will help the poor people to grab more opportunities.
22920  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trump first action as a president: attack abortion right on: January 25, 2017, 04:27:01 AM
I agree with most of Trump's policies, but I don't agree with this one. Abortion must be legal (with the exception of partial birth abortion). Why create orphans, if the parents are not interested in raising the child? Also, sometimes if the fetus is not aborted, it can result in health complications for the mother. Check this:
