The safest place on earth in a nuclear war is far outsight of cities, where the enemy dont see a target that is worth to destroy.

Many of the defense facilities (such as anti-air missile batteries, ammunition depots.etc) are located far away from the population centers. Also, the most powerful nuclear weapons have a blast radius of several tens of kilometers.

They are spending whole 20% on social security and only 3% on education. Isn't this a great way to have a society full of dumb and lazy people?
Benefits were always the easiest way to bribe voters.

You are absolutely right. These sort of retarded logic results in the creation of an entire generation of welfare rats, who are not capable of any productive activity. BTW, in my opinion education must be free.

Plus, it can be hard to trace many transactions and implementing taxes can be near impossible not unless you can really be so honest with your dealings online.

Although Bitcoin transactions are hard to trace, once you convert your coins to fiat it becomes easier for the government to track you (that is, unless you are exchanging for physical cash). So honesty doesn't matter.

I would like a sky burial, these are done in Tibet, great way to be sent off if you ask me  Cool

Similar open-air burial practices are common among the Zoroastrians in India as well. It is surprising, since in some cases, these burial grounds are located in the middle of dense urban centers.

people who eat human flesh is a person who has no sense of humanity. they arbitrarily take his own people did not see the sadness families of victims who eat meat and I think that person was crazy.

Yeah, and I can't believe that there are humans like that. Is that the cause of failure of parents? Of the upbringing of the child? It's sad to see something like that. Even if there are no food left, I think I won't do it still. I would just die out of hunger then.

Either your English skills are not up to the mark, or your comprehension skills are not good. If you won't eat human meat in order to survive, then good for you. But you can't ask others to do the same. For the rest of us, it is just stupid not to stay alive when you got a choice.

Losing the will to live is a mental disability, an ordinary human would do anything in an emergency situation to survive. a large majority of the survivors who tried to kill themselves by jumping off of bridge said that they've regretted jumping. You may not want to eat another human to survive and when the pain of starvation is great enough you'll regret not eating that meat in the first place and then when you do, it might be too late to do so.

As long as the meat is sourced from an already dead individual, I don't think that there is anything wrong with it. But then I am sure that none of the posters showing aversion to eating human meat can go without food for more than three days.

Five Afghan teenagers are convicted of gang-raping a boy at knife-point in Sweden - but NONE will be deported because their homeland is 'too dangerous'

Quote
Five Afghan teenagers have been convicted of gang-raping a boy in Sweden - but none of them will be deported because their homeland is 'too dangerous', it has emerged. The victim, who is under 15, was filmed during the attack, which happened in woodland in Uppsala, south east Sweden.
He was beaten and dragged out to the forest at knife-point before being subjected to an ordeal lasting more than an hour, prosecutors say. After a trial, the teenagers were found guilty of aggravated rape - but despite requests by prosecutors, they will not be expelled from Sweden because of their age and the dangers they would face in their homeland.

Welcome to the radical-feminist occupied multi-cultural paradise of Sweden. Muslims can rape or murder any native whenever they want. The criminals will receive no punishment, apart from a few hours of community service.

Right now, I have BTC0.0915 with me. I need at least $2.5 million to live comfortably. So after all the calculations, I need an exchange rate of around $25 million per coin to live off Bitcoin.

I know that it is impossible. So, I never plan to live off Bitcoin. For me, Bitcoin is more like a passive source of income.
22949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why some people prefer Bitcoin over fiat ? on: December 30, 2016, 11:59:05 AM
Those living in countries such as Zimbabwe and Venezuela has a reason to use Bitcoin, as it is more stable than the local currency. Others like me, use Bitcoins for its advantages such as anonymity and ease of use.

Mt Gox was a mystery. I think it is hacked from inside. Even before the big hack happening, there are numerous small accounts get hacked and bitcoins from these accounts are transferred away. I am sure some employees did these, if not with the company itself.

From what I have heard, the problems with Mt Gox actually started in 2011, only a few months after Jed McCaleb sold the site to Mark Karpeles. Since there were no audits, this wasn't detected until February 2014.

I have used the Coinsbank debit card (formerly Bit-X), and their service is pretty good. The fees is a bit on the higher side though, and you need to verify your identity using any of the government issued ID cards.

I don't know if they have, but what I'm completely sure is that no other country in the world have been as invasive as USA
They might not be the only one but they're surely the worst.

Even during the cold war years, the role of the USSR was limited to a few countries (such as Angola, Mozambique, Cuba, Nicaragua.etc), while the US was able to expand its presence all over the world. China was never a global force. After the disintegration of the USSR, Russia was unable to maintain its global influence.

Well, USSR was a Russian empire that included more than few states in Africa:

Most of these countries had democratically elected Communist governments, and the support from USSR was limited to machinery and funds. On the other hand, the American involvement usually included supplies of weapons, and military training.

It's not about 1 or 2 degrees or a meter or two of sea level. 

It is not about two degree change in the temperature and two meter rise in the sea level. This month, the average temperatures in the Arctic were at least 20 degrees higher than average.

Don't mess with billionaires. Compared to an average day person they have enough money and connections to ruin you. They could ruin you in so many ways, putting dozens of buffers in between that your ruined life could never be linked to them.

Not if the billionaire is retarded. Anyway, what he is going to do, if these girls manage to get out of Nigeria? His power is limited to Nigeria. Outside that country, he can't do anything.

Benyamin nettanyaou or the Bushes suitcases.. Grin

Yeah... Benjamin Netanyahu will be the first prime minister to die in case of a nuclear war. Israel is surrounded on all sides by hostile nations. The only question is from where the nuclear attack will come from. It can either come from Saudi Arabia, or it can be from Iran.
22956  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is taxation theft? on: December 30, 2016, 11:24:40 AM
I think minimal taxes equals a night-watchman state with high social tensions and in the end, wealth being accumulated by the few lucky individuals. Higher taxes can be used to distribute some of the wealth for the poor.

This is ridiculous. How the poor are going to benefit, when a large part of the tax revenue is being spent on big corporations? The rich will get richer, as they have multiple avenues for tax evasion. The poor will remain poor, and the middle class will suffer from decreased purchasing power.
22957  Other / Politics & Society / Re: If nuclear war broke out where's the safest place on Earth? on: December 30, 2016, 07:08:06 AM
Nukes dont exist.

Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of people who lost their lives after the Americans nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Tell the same to the millions, who are still suffering from the after-effects of radiation fallout in Japan. It was a crime against humanity, which was never punished. And still we have people, who doubt about the existence of nuclear weapons.

It's called carpet bombing the allies got good at it while practicing on Germany.

Rubbish. Are you claiming that 300,000 people died in Nagasaki and Hiroshima from carpet bombing using conventional weapons? Millions of bombs might have been needed to kill that many through carpet bombing.
22958  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: December 30, 2016, 06:53:02 AM
If it is not possible to protect yourself, that there are few who will do it for you. If we take into account what is happening in Europe, where people are dying of peaceful streets, the availability of weapons could stop the terrorists.

Yes... for example take in to account the recent truck attacks in Berlin and France. If the citizens were armed, then they could have killed the terrorist before he managed to kill so many people.
22959  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is taxation theft? on: December 30, 2016, 06:49:04 AM
Taxation is not theft or an act of thieving. Taxation is our share that we must give back to society that transforms into  government welfare services and others.

Your statement might have been true a few decades back. But now, most of the tax revenue is being spent on the defense budget, and for giving salaries to the governmental staff.

Well we need the defense budget because other countries are also spending on defense. As for salaries I don't think so. The rest of the money goes into social programs and infrastructure. Salary is probably a small part of it.

OK.. let's take the American budget as an example. Here:



As you can see, defense and veterans affairs make up 20% of the total spending. Treasury amounts for another 14%.

There are more of them in poor countries since it costs money to get educated.

It has nothing to do with poverty or education. For example, there are countries in Africa such as Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, where the per-capita income is almost at par with that in the United States. But despite this, the intelligence level of the people there remains the same as in neighboring countries.
