23841  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Turkey resumes genocidal campaign, massacres 260 Kurds in aerial bombing on: August 02, 2015, 02:40:48 PM
The Turks are the masters in conducting genocides without attracting international attention. If you have any doubt, then just ask the Armenians, Greeks, and the Assyrians. And there can be no better way to help the Islamic state, than bombing the Kurdish villages and killing the women and children when the men are away fighting the ISIS.

This is not going to work in the long term. The Turks will have to stop suppressing the Kurdish culture and language. The pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) won more than 13% of the votes during the last election, and it's popularity is increasing. The more the Turks discriminate against the Kurds, the more it will strengthen the Kurdish unity.

Why don't they just offer $5000 for anyone who wants to to get sterilized.

Why will the welfare rats get themselves sterilized, when they can get $5,000 a year in child benefits? There are plenty of Mexican illegal immigrants in the United States, who survive solely on child benefit payments, after having a dozen children in the American soil. Also, this method has been tried before. But it was termed "racist".

lol.. John LaBruzzo was intelligent. Pay $1,000 now, to avoid expenses of several hundreds of thousands of USD later. Why encourage the homeless and the criminals to have children, when it is almost certain that they will end up in the same situation as their parents? Unfortunately, as I can see it, LaBruzzo got his ass kicked by the RINOs.
23844  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Vladimir Putin's approval rating at record levels on: July 24, 2015, 02:50:10 PM
Before Putin, it was free for all for Russians. After him the Oligarchs started paying taxes
Putin is the example of how a leader should be

Exactly. Putin is just the polar opposite of Boris Yeltsin. Under Yeltsin, the ordinary people were starving and fleeing the country, while the oligarchs were accumulating their wealth through various dubious means. That changed when Putin came to power. The oligarchs started fleeing the country (Boris Berezovsky, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.etc), while the living standards for the ordinary Russians improved.
23845  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BurtW arrested (update: charges dropped!) on: July 21, 2015, 09:44:36 AM
How is this guy doing now? 

Somewhat better, but still in a lot of trouble. His legal fees amounted to more than $100,000 (of that donations covered some 20%), and his personal computer and other assets were seized by the cops. I am not sure whether he will get a reimbursement of the legal expenses, and I don't know how much time it will take to get those assets and appliances back (including the $600 seized from his kid's piggy bank). Hope to hear from Burt regarding these issues.
23846  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Your definition of being Bitcoin Rich or wealthy? on: July 21, 2015, 09:40:06 AM
Owning just 21 Bitcoins makes you one in a million. In my opinion, this is enough to be quote-on-quote Bitcoin rich.

Check the Distribution of bitcoin wealth by owner thread by Rpietila.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297.0

According to the latest stats published by him, some 349,000 people own Bitcoins (i.e more than BTC1). Out of that number, some 14,000 own more than BTC100. So owning 21 Bitcoins will not make you one in a million (if you take the total number of Bitcoiners).
23847  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Affirmative action still not good enough. Ban whites from jobs on: July 21, 2015, 09:34:37 AM
Yes, I think affirmative action has ran its course but has done a lot of good in the earlier years where it did work.  It is blatantly unconstitutional.  You take it a little far though... 

Taking jobs away from the deserving people and giving them to the less qualified can never result in anything good. If a government or a system discriminates against a particular ethnic group of religion, then those individuals who belong to that group will migrate to some other place. This has happened in places such as California and Detroit, resulting in the bankruptcy of these states / cities.
23848  Other / Politics & Society / Re: ISIS' Image Problem? on: July 21, 2015, 09:29:57 AM
I don't think that this news is reliable. For long, the ISIS has used this type of gory and graphic videos to recruit psychopaths and mental patients from around the world. If they stop publishing these videos on their Twitter and YouTube accounts, then their recruitment drive will take a severe hit. And right now, they can't afford to do the same.
23849  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Marijuana helps broken bones heal faster, a new study has found. on: July 21, 2015, 09:27:00 AM
It can't make me smarter. Such stupid statements of studies just prove how fool and naive smokers are to believe these studies.
I smoke weed some times and I felt becoming slower at my mental activity. I am sure weed is not for me...

The results are from a scientific study, which was conducted by well known researchers from around the world. And we are talking about the ability of marijuana to heal the wounds and fractures faster, and not about its ability to slow down the mental activity. There is a big difference between the two, in my humble opinion.
23850  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Affirmative action still not good enough. Ban whites from jobs on: July 18, 2015, 06:29:28 PM
It will never work. More than 95% of the businesses and ventures within the United States are majority owned by the Non-Hispanic whites. If you are going to ban them, then they will simply pack their suitcases, and migrate to some other country (along with the businesses). The economy will collapse, and the unemployment rate will top 90%.
Of course the capitalists will try to grab their toys and walk away. That's why the first act of the revolution will be to seize all the real assets!

It will end up like the farms in Zimbabwe. Without quality people managing it, these businesses will go bankrupt in less than a year.
23851  Other / Politics & Society / Re: If Greece fails, can the country disappear? on: July 08, 2015, 03:37:58 AM
There is no billionaire who has enough money to repay all of Greek's debt.  Smiley
I think Greece's best course of action is a default and to start afresh again.

There is no single billionaire.

But if we confiscate the wealth of all the Greek oligarchs, it will be enough to pay back all of the Greek debt.

The diplomats flying in the ill-fated MI-17 on Friday were headed for the inauguration of a ski chairlift, built in the breathtaking resort of Naltar, in northern Pakistan.

Incidents such as this will be interpreted by the Indians as foreign involvement in the disputed territory.

The OP obviously doesn't have much experience with women. I know plenty of gay and straight males, and some of the straight males I know go home with a different girl every night.

The OP was probably comparing married heterosexual couple to married homosexual couple. It is quite rare to find multiple sexual partners among the married heterosexual couples. However, for the married homosexual couples, it has been the norm.

They certainly should, it would both simplify things and help the economy as we won't have to cater for them in prison.
Also, yes, Australia's method is what I was suggesting. Apologies, I should have been clearer.

If you are talking about the method recently formulated by the Australian government, then I have to warn you that it is not that simple. Revoking one's citizenship is a very complex method which is rarely used. The government alone can't take that decision. They need permission from the judiciary and a few other bodies.

And I really don't think that it can be implemented in the UK, when these incidents happen:

Another evidence to prove that the Americans are supporting ISIS.
23857  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Palmyra: Isis pictured launching new assault on artefacts in ancient ruins on: July 04, 2015, 06:37:08 AM
For example, they will destroy the pyramids, if they come to power in Egypt.

How they are going to destroy them? They are too large.
23858  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Egypt is losing its war against ISIS in Sinai on: July 04, 2015, 06:36:37 AM
Muslim Brotherhood still enjoys a good deal of support in Egypt. So it will be difficult for Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to fight the ISIS.

Why do you hope that?   I have quite a few gay friends and it is a very hard thing for someone to have to go through life like that.   They have 3 choices, 1) Hide the fact that they are gay and go though life spiteful and miserable, 2) Actually be gay out in the open and live life happily, or 3) become a catholic priest.

What about #3? So you are agreeing that most of the gays are pedophiles?
