It's all PR. Some stars have received Russian citizenship. They're prostitutes and sold to Putin for the money, but none of them lives in Russia. USA is one of the best countries in the world and therefore nobody's going anywhere.

You are Ukrainian right? I can see why you are so butt-hurt? Every month, I see a number of Westerners, applying for the Russian passport. But never heard anyone ever preferring an Ukrainian passport.

That said, the Ukrainians are dreaming that very soon the EU will grant them right to work. Keep dreaming... as it is never going to happen. The EU wants only Syrians and Iraqis.

Russian hacking and changing the election?

To mr Obama if you and the C.I.A have any proof could you please show it to Trey Gowdy and Jason Chaffetz
please?..
Then if they say he as cheated then he shouldn't be president?

If there was no cheating during the POTUS election, then Trump would have won both the electoral vote, as well as the popular vote. Right now, he is some 2 million behind in the popular vote, and my guess is that he will be leading Clinton by some 2 million if you nullify all those illegals and felons who voted for Hillary Clinton.

As a non-Christian, Christmas holds no significance for me. I live in a country where less than 4% of the total population is Christian. Yet, I see them exerting a disproportionate influence in politics and society.

lets just migrate to another planet that has oxygen and probably that will be Mars.

An atmosphere like that exists in the earth is not found in any of the exoplanets in this universe. But a large part of the universe is yet to be explored. I just hope that one day someone will discover a planet, which is similar to the earth.

I'll take some bacon over human anyday dude. But trap me on a mountain with just you and I'll be looking for a rock to beat you over the head with so I can chomp down on your fatty ass.

There are more than 7 billion humans in the world, and our planet is getting more and more over-populated every day. Eating humans will reduce the human population, and thereby relieve some of the stress on the planet.
23146  Economy / Economics / Re: Whither Europe? on: December 15, 2016, 01:50:30 PM
Do you mean Europe or the EU - don't forget that Russia is a European country, but not a member of the EU. The EU is trying to suck in some non-European countries to try to prop up the moribund DoucheBank. Hopefully we ( the UK ) can get out of the EU fairly fast, and start to rebuild our economy after the destruction and theft that resulted from membership of the EU.

The EU was only started as a stage in the path to globalism, and to reduce the cost of German exports. Now that the world is turning away from globalism, the EU should be broken up quickly to allow it member "states" to rebuild their countries.

He probably meant the European Union, which is slowly disintegrating as we debate about its future. I don't know about the future of the United Kingdom.... Merkel want the UK to adopt freedom of movement... that nullifies the very purpose of Brexit.
23147  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: December 15, 2016, 01:46:49 PM
I never see that gold can be hidden safely. Because gold is the physical goods and where we store it will definitely be with easy to find, because in terms of physical gold is visible and in terms of the elements forming the gold we can search for it with the tools that are already berbedar. And for bitcoin then I think it is not yet possible to confiscate, as are digital and the FBI bitcoin can not enter into the system because it contains no bitcoin can enter

There are risks associated with both of them. Since gold is a physical asset, someone can steal it after over-powering the owner. But for stealing Bitcoins, the thief needs not be present at the site. He can steal them online, if he manages to hack in to the private key.
23148  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin or gold? on: December 15, 2016, 01:31:49 PM
But I agree with you that use bitcoin give more control and freedom, government cannot confiscate it.

There are exceptions. Gold bullion is quite easy to hide, and this makes it hard for the government to confiscate it. It is also very hard to confiscate Bitcoins, but there have been well known incidents when that happened. An example is the FBI confiscating Ross Ulbricht's coins from the Silk Road.
23149  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin in India? Not for a LOOOOONG time. on: December 15, 2016, 01:25:53 PM
India is not the only one country in the world that the peoples is not familiar with bitcoin.

Indians are not that unfamiliar to Bitcoin. Check the Indian section of Localbitcoins, and you will be surprised to see hundreds of users online at any given point of time. Also, there are a lot of Bitcoin-based businesses operating out of India.

Indian are obviously not unknown to Bitcoin, but amount o users is quite less. Moreover very few peoples are interested about Bitcoin. Many people are familiar to this currency but their fear or lack of proper information holds them back from using it.
Also the exchangers charge quite more INR than the actual market rate.

The situation is the same in most of the other countries, such as China and Brazil. Bitcoin is not very familiar to the general population. But there remains a small core of Bitcoin users, who have kept the sector alive in these countries.
23150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Getting porn sites to accept bitcoin on: December 15, 2016, 01:17:04 PM
Yeah, I think that one of the most important aspects of cryptocurrency is the anonymous or at least pseudonymous side of it. You do not have to pay with your credit card and get billed by a porn site. That would look really bad if your wife finds out.

Also, a lot of discount porn accounts out there on sale for bitcoins, and on this forum too.

A large part of the revenues for porn-site owners come from automatic renewal of subscription. With Bitcoin, this is not possible. And that is one of the reasons why the owners prefer credit cards to BTC.
23151  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: San Francisco Metro System Hacked with Ransomware [Paid $70,000 in Bitcoin] on: December 15, 2016, 01:10:49 PM
Very effective anti-virus packages are available for as little as $10 (purchased one just last month from Amazon). Yet, the San Francisco Metro decided that they are too expensive. I guess now they are too happy to pay 7,000x that amount.
23152  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying Drugs with Bitcoin ? on: December 15, 2016, 01:07:39 PM
I bought long time ago in Agora, no problem at all.

If you are telling the truth, then you should not post it here. Some countries are having really crazy laws regarding the purchase of illegal drugs. In countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia, you will be beheaded if you are convicted of drug purchase.

I think this is the start of a really dirty war that is coming soon. Maybe in the new year. Lips sealed

The war started in 2012, and it is still ongoing. What you mean by "it is coming soon"? I don't know how this conflict can deteriorate even further. Half a million are dead, around ten million have been made refugees, and most of the super-powers (including Russia, United States, and France) are involved in one side or the other.
23154  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Obama Orders ‘Full Review’ Of Election Hacking on: December 15, 2016, 12:59:57 PM
Voting via the Internet does not give an objective picture. To rig the elections through the Internet much easier. You follow the example of Russia. There's always the election is a fraud. The same thing will happen in America. The Russians have already shown what they can do.

Perhaps that is the reason why the Democrats have always supported internet voting. Democrats normally score more than 90% of the votes in areas where Voter IDs are not required to cast the vote.
23155  Other / Politics & Society / Re: U.S. citizens getting more stupid and psychopathic by the year on: December 15, 2016, 12:57:55 PM
I am sure that Trump will seek to increase the number of dumb Americans to get elected for a second term.

The last time I checked, most of the retards in the United States were loyal voters of the Democratic party, especially in the ghetto areas and the slums. Why should Trump seek to increase their numbers?
23156  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Blacks are the least intelligent race on the Earth on: December 15, 2016, 12:55:12 PM
They have excelled in Education, Engineering, Medicine, Economics, and other areas.

The only field where they excel right now is in athletics and other sports. There have been only 15 black Nobel laureates till now (a majority of them for "peace"), despite them accounting for almost 25% of the world population.

I would have showed you some proof, but let me draw the curtain here. Cheers

You would not be able to show any, as you have none.
23157  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drug free in the Philippines on: December 15, 2016, 12:50:35 PM
I hope soon this bastard will be impeached and he will answer for it.

Know what? People have grown tired of establishment politicians. That is why they are dumping establishment candidates in favor of populist candidates. Prime examples are Duterte and Trump.

And he cannot be impeached right now, as he enjoys close to 80% popular support. (Among the world leaders, I think that only Putin is more popular than him).
23158  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why gun is easily available in US? on: December 15, 2016, 12:46:39 PM
It's so hard to get gun in other developed countries.

That is wrong. It is true that it is very difficult to get a license to own firearms in certain countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom. But at the same time, gun ownership is wide spread in certain other nations such as Switzerland and Finland.
23159  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is US election really get hacked? on: December 15, 2016, 12:38:04 PM
And how can you trace how people voted. Know why Russia always vote for thieves and tyrants? Because there is no control on the elections and the people vote for money. You want to this situation was in America?

The votes can be traced, as they leave a paper trail every time someone cast their choice. These paper-trails can be matched with the actual results, to check whether any hacking has occurred.
23160  Other / Archival / Re: I'm really leaving the U.S. for a 3rd world country because of politics on: December 15, 2016, 12:30:01 PM
Yeah USA is the worse place on earth
until you go to any other country.

Interestingly - I saw a list of countries with the most America expats and Italy was #1 on the list.  Italy is where the American elites like going, I think, although not all Americans there are rich (Amanda Knox today is living in a trailer park).

Italy is almost broke now, and the tax rates are over the roof. The income tax is at least 100% more than that in the United States, and gasoline costs almost 200% higher. I will be very surprised if these people opt for Italy.
