Some people are distorting trump words. Illegal immigrants are a serious problem for any country.

Illegal immigration is a serious issue... unless you are living in some third world country such as Nigeria or Burkina Faso, and is planning to pay the human smugglers in Tunisia $10,000 to smuggle you to Europe.

Secret societies have existed among us for the past several hundreds of years. Most of these societies are either religion-based (such as Jews, Yazidis, Christians.etc) or mafia-based (Italian and Russian gangs).

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.

For some reason people think that it's easier to get rich with Bitcoin then with fiat money but in real life that is not true. Except for early adopters who had unique opportunity to realy get rich.

Very few of the early adopters have enough coins right now, to become rich. Many of them wasted their coins on silly ponzi schemes, and some of them didn't even stored their private keys securely. But then, who would have thought that the exchange rates would rise from $0.001 per coin in 2009 to $1,261 per coin in 2013?

Bitcoin is definitely not a tool for tax evasion.

Bitcoin can be used as a tool for hiding your wealth, there by evading income tax. I don't know how many people are using Bitcoins for such a purpose, but saying that it is not a tool for tax evasion is plain wrong.
22986  Economy / Economics / Re: How many Bitcoin do you have saved? on: December 28, 2016, 03:26:30 PM
As of now, my total Bitcoin holdings stand at BTC0.0805. I am collecting coins for the past few years, but I have been immediately converting them to fiat. But now, I have taken a decision to hold a part of my BTC earnings.
22987  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: December 28, 2016, 03:23:24 PM
From what I have seen over the past two-three years, only a few countries are supportive of the Bitcoin trade, such as Switzerland and Singapore. The vast majority of the nations discourage the use of BTC in their jurisdictions.
yes absolutely right. some countries have regulations that simply can not be violated. they are consistent with the economic movement of the country. we are not able to any kind of interference. but other than that, there is a country open to new things. This will certainly be beneficial as bitcoin.

If a country allows the trade of Bitcoins, then a lot of Bitcoin-based businesses will move to that country. For example, BTC-e moved their operations from Kiev (Ukraine) to Sofia (Bulgaria), after Ukraine created obstacles for their business.
22988  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How would you store >100 Bitcoins? on: December 28, 2016, 03:15:26 PM
Storing as much as BTC100 in a single wallet is not a good idea. If I had BTC100 with me, then I would split them in to ten different wallets than storing all of them in a single wallet.

You can purchase coins from BTC-e. They require no ID proof, as long as your trade volumes are below a certain threshold. Else, you can try the Currency exchange section of this forum.

Well Croatian president and Brazils ex Dilma Rousseff, people weren't that fond of them as much as I know... So far, most of the female president and prime ministers haven't shown something that worth.. :/

Being a female has its own advantages. A party sometimes projects a female leader as the head of the state, to win over the support from female voters. The problem is that, in many such instances an inexperienced and incompetent female is selected ahead of much better male candidates.

Donald is not the problem and neither is Duterte. It's you. Cheesy

Doesn't matter now. He has the means to immigrate to Philippines, and he has already outlined his plans. I just hope that everything works out for him pretty well. There are hundreds of millions out there in the world, who don't have the means to immigrate to another country. It is his life, so let him enjoy it while he is young.
22993  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you think to the president of the Philippines? on: December 28, 2016, 01:22:33 PM
Except other dictators that killed people. A few come to mind. The problem is he will buddy up with China, Russia, North Korea and Iran maybe a few others. What will happen to the stability of that region? Maybe war could break out and this is the start of something bigger. I hope nothing happens. I guess we will just wait and see.

He is not going to buddy up with China or North Korea. As long as the South China Sea territorial disputes are not resolved, normal relations with China is not possible. Also, Russia is not going to prefer Philippines over China.
22994  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Preparation for Death. Cremation or Burial? on: December 28, 2016, 01:18:52 PM
why would you even consider cryogenics? Cheesy tho the burning raft is cool tho, if I was to have loads of money, I'd pay workers to make a pyramid  and mummify me. Cheesy

Mummification is not as effective as cryogenics. 99.99% of the body tissue is preserved in cryogenics, even for a period of thousands of years. But in mummified bodies, there is a significant loss of body tissue.

Agreed but only if it's developped with some kind of redistribution of wealth (I won't say the word socialism here, it would make the whole forum come crying) because otherwise only the people owning the robots will have anything.

Redistribution of wealth is the most basic ideal of Socialism. So if you are arguing in favor of the redistribution of wealth, then you are a socialist.

In my opinion, the robots must be under the ownership of the state. That will eliminate the possibility of wealth concentrating in the hands of a few individuals.
22996  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Trumpocalypse? on: December 28, 2016, 01:12:54 PM
I guess this is part and parcel of the kind of democracy you have there in America. Anyway, Trump is now clearly the winner and would soon be inaugurated this coming January 20 so people who can't accept his presidency can start preparing for the next election 4 years from now or come to the Philippines and stay here until Trump is gone in the White House.

Canada is much closer than Philippines, right? Those who can't cope up with the idea of a Trump presidency can immigrate to Canada, and take up the residency there. After all, the current Canadian prime minister is an extreme leftist terrorist loving loony.
22997  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S.A a nation of evil on: December 28, 2016, 01:08:24 PM

That is a flawed logic. How can you be so sure that the 98 million who abstained from voting didn't supported any of the presidential candidates? Perhaps they were supporters of Trump, who were too lazy to cast their ballots.  
22998  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Two Canadian Girls Arrested for Scamming Nigerian Prince on: December 28, 2016, 01:06:44 PM
Oh so this is a real Nigerian prince eh? I thought this was some sort of reverse scam on one of those 419 scams but turns out its just two girls trying to extort a billionaire.

Rich Nigerians have a weakness for fair-skinned girls, and these two ladies just took advantage of it. I don't think that they should be detained. After all, the Nigerian got rich by cheating others.
22999  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Did the election even matter on: December 28, 2016, 01:03:13 PM
sometimes people will vote for the worse one just because they like him/her.

So who decides which one is worse, and which one is not so? Someone, who is "worse" for you may be a hero for the millions of others. As a rule, some one who won an election can't be considered as worse than another candidate who lost.

When you are hungry and desperate enough,you'll eat everything !!!

It's better to die from hunger than engage in such a barbaric act. I'm better off eating faeces in such a situation.

It is more like a personal choice. If you prefer human feces over human meat, then it is perfectly fine with me. But I will never eat feces, even in a life or death situation. Doing so is quite repulsive.
