Agree with a bold word. It's not fair if you hate muslim from the way you see a terrorist.
A civilan muslims are a lovely person, even they also hate terrorist.

The world would have been a much safer place to live, if what you had posted was true. Unfortunately, that is not true. Do you have any explanation for these facts?

1. Non-Muslims are not safe in any of the Muslim majority regions.
2. Muslim immigrants never assimilate with the host population.
3. Muslim immigrants want to impose Sharia law wherever they live.

Trump can change your country for the better because he is a good guy and also he is an expert when it comes to business world and economic world. Therefore he knows what his doing for the better of his country. America is totally lucky about him because he is a good leader. Like President Duterte.

Yeah... there are a lot of similarities between the two (Trump and Duterte). But the difference is that Duterte is having the power to do whatever he want in Philippines, while Trump is likely to face a lot of opposition from the establishment wing of his own party, if he try radical reforms.

Voter turnout has always been an issue and a problem in United States elections. While all the votes have not been counted for this year, it is looking like the voter turnout is actually above that of the 2012 election, at 56% overall. In this election, it was mostly Democrats that decided not to vote (Bernie Sanders supporters) and that tilted the Presidency to Trump's favor. Clinton under-performed Obama's numbers of 2012 by more than 5 million votes.

This was the big problem with Hillary Clinton. Many of Obama's supporters and voters did not supported her all the way...in the end she lost the race to the other side. However, things like these are now for the books as the election is over and we now have a President-elect Trump coming to the White House this January.

Many people in USA can not yet believe what happened and they want to scrap the Electoral College set-up but that is so myopic...changing the system just to suit someone's political interest will not result into something positive for the country and will only produce more problems.

Clinton rigged the democrat primaries to win the nomination. So she doesn't have any moral right to complain now. During the election campaign, she demonized certain voter groups, such as blue collar whites and conservatives. That is the reason why she lost.

Just another Bitcoin-related scam. Intelligent people will continue to steal funds from retards. And this venture is no exception. Retarded liberals will send their bitcoins to this website, hoping that they will be used to assassinate Trump. And in the end, these coins will be used to buy drugs and booze.
23585  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Drug free in the Philippines on: November 19, 2016, 01:12:39 PM
I admire Duterte's war against drug. But let's get real, he might reduce the drug deals, labs and everything related into it but still Philippines will not be drug free.

Drug addiction can't be wiped out with the threat of violence. Even in countries such as Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, where drug usage can get you a death sentence, you will find large number of people who take drugs. Addiction to hard drugs can be fought only with awareness and medical treatment. And legalization of soft drugs will help vulnerable individuals to stay away from hard drugs.

A few surveys done in 2013 and 2014 indicate that the Bitcoin users are overwhelmingly young white males. I am sure that the proportion of the Asian users has grown since then, but I assume that they still form a minority. Here are a few useful links:

I see every day bitvoin becomes more expensive. I understand that this is a very good investment object. That's why I buy Bitcoin. In the future date of my investment will bring me profits

The Bitcoin exchange rates are extremely volatile. The exchange rate was $1,200+ per coin in December 2013. In 2014, it was mostly in the $500-$600 range. Then after a few months, it nosedived to $230-$250. During the last 6-7 months, the exchange rates have appreciated by around 200%. But I am not sure whether the momentum can be maintained in the future.
23588  Economy / Economics / Re: The dream of getting rich with bitcoins on: November 18, 2016, 11:26:28 AM
What I have earned here is more than Bitcoins alone, I earned respect here.
About getting rich with bitcoins, I know I will surely make it one day and reach my goal of 10 BTC and wait for $10000, then I will be happy.

You will not get BTC10 just from the signature campaigns. Even the highest paying sig campaign will only give you BTC2.5 per year. You need to do quite a bit of freelancing to achieve your goal. Try data entry or other similar jobs, and then convert the earnings to BTC.
23589  Economy / Economics / Re: The future of the paper money on: November 18, 2016, 11:23:46 AM
For me, it's the trust issue.. Banks are centralized and people especially the depositors are comfortable with their money as they know it's secured while in bitcoin it's not safe because it's decentralize and when the entire system is down our money will be lost. Simple as that why people continue to use paper money as it's government regulated.

How can you claim that the money deposited in the banks is safe just because the system is centralized? What will happen if the bank declares itself bankrupt? Or what will happen if the government seize your savings?
23590  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it better to save money or invest it? on: November 18, 2016, 11:21:32 AM
Nowadays saving your money is not 100% risk-free. Remember the Cyprus hair-cut? The government and the banks can seize your savings at any point of time and make you a pauper. So better invest the amount in bullion or equity.
23591  Economy / Economics / Re: Best October Investments on: November 18, 2016, 11:19:38 AM
I actually do not like much of this alt coin. Reason is simple just calculate the total alt coin came till now to its existence and how much have reached to next to zero value or being closed. You will find huge such numbers. The profit is only made by the owner of the coin.

Consider this. Almost all the older altcoins (i.e those created before 2014, there are at least 900 of them floating around) are worth less right now, than their worth two years back. This list includes Namecoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Terracoin, and Quark.  
23592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BitCoin Friendly Countries on: November 18, 2016, 11:14:22 AM
Singapore is one of the most Bitcoin-friendly countries. Switzerland is another one. The government tolerates the use of Bitcoins. On the other hand, a guy was detained in France after a policeman heard him uttering the word "Bitcoin".
Do you have link to the news regarding policeman detaining guy who utter the word "bitcoin" ? I don't think this was the real situation there.

I read it in Reddit. Not sure whether it was a real incident or a fake one. The incident occurred at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. Most of the users in Reddit believe that it was a real incident.

23593  Other / Off-topic / Re: Average Age of Bitcoin users on: November 18, 2016, 11:11:10 AM
I am 29 years old.... and most of my friends who use Bitcoins are also in the 25-35 age range. I have also seen a lot of users in the 15-25 range, but yet to find someone who is above 35 years.

I would not take seriously the hateful, inflammatory distortions of his pre-election speech created for propaganda purposes by Democrats.

The ACTUAL things he said are more thoughtful.

One thing is certain. Trump is unlikely to prioritize Muslim immigrants ahead of the others, as the Democrats have been doing for the last 8 years. Look at the Syrian refugee resettlement in USA.

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/administration-nears-syria-refugee-goal-05-christian-982-sunni

Just 0.6% of the approved refugees from Syria are non-Sunni Muslim, although Sunnis are least likely to face any religious discrimination in Syria. Religious groups such Yazidis and Assyrians, who have been targeted severely by the ISIS have been completely excluded from the refugee program till now. This situation is going to change.
23595  Other / Politics & Society / Re: California Declaratioin of Independence on: November 18, 2016, 11:01:59 AM
CA's central valley is productive enough to supply the entire U.S. with enough food to eat, and they have water coming out their ears (if they had not torn out all their dams and flush most of it down the rivers in order to save a certain small fish.)

Climate change will destroy the agricultural sector in the Central Valley. Already, the state is facing a severe drought, and the situation is likely to escalate in the future. Also, the water-rich Northern California is heavily Republican, and they are unlikely to support the secession.
23596  Other / Off-topic / Re: Bitcoin is a good investment now, because... on: November 18, 2016, 09:25:00 AM
Because it will continue to rise! Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency is the future of currency and money as we know it. I till replace fiat money and will take the world by storm.

What will you do, if the exchange rates crash? There is no guarantee that they will go up forever. And how can you be so sure that it is going to replace the fiat currency? In the best case, both fiat and BTC will co-exist. There is no chance of BTC replacing fiat, at least for the next 50 years.
23597  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is there new people coming to Bitcoin? on: November 18, 2016, 09:20:26 AM
There is no doubt that Bitcoin is slowly expanding its user-base. But the new users who get attracted to Bitcoin right now are very different from those we had in 2011 and 2012. Now most of the new users are profit-oriented. They want 1,000% or 2,000% returns in a matter of few months. But the users from 2011 and 2012 were mostly using Bitcoin for ideological purposes.
23598  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can Bitcoin help poor countries? on: November 18, 2016, 09:17:17 AM
Bitcoin is not some kind of magic pill that can solve all the problems of the world but it can help individuals to protect their financial freedom.

When Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin, the real intention was for Bitcoin to become this "magic pill". He hoped that Bitcoin will end the exploitation by the banking cartels. Still a long way to go, but if Bitcoin becomes popular, then it is going to be very bad for the banksters.
23599  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin being used for illegal activities on: November 18, 2016, 09:14:00 AM
Bitcoin is used for illegal activities by some. There is no doubt about it. But what makes Bitcoin different from the other payment methods is that, in the early days Bitcoin was very heavily used for the trade of drugs and weapons from dark market sites such as Silk Road and BMR. The other payment processors were used for illegal trade only after they got established themselves.
