Discrimination against non-Hispanic whites is a common thing in the United States and the other Western nations. It is the "new normal". If you don't want to get discriminated against, then you can immigrate to countries such as Poland, Belarus and Serbia.

I hate Muslims because. among them are a lot of terrorists and illiterate people. There are certainly good people, but to me they were very rare. I don't trust anyone.

Most of the terrorist acts are being committed by educated Muslims. No amount of education can change their blind slavery to the ideology. Look at the recent terror attacks, such as the 2015 San Bernardino attack. Most of them were perpetrated by educated people.

The Russophobes are losing their battle. In the US, Trump won the elections against the Russophobe Hillary. In Moldova and Bulgaria, pro-Russian politicians won the presidential elections. In Estonia, a pro-Russian party was included in the governing coalition for the first time ever. And in Germany, the anti-Russian Merkel is sliding towards oblivion.
You can rest assured that Europe will not support the lifting of sanctions. Today, Merkel said that Russia and Assad deliberately bombed hospitals. Starts the investigation into the delivery of Russian jet fuel to bypass the sanctions.

How can you be so sure that the European Union is going to extend the sanctions? Doing so would require the unanimous support from all the member nations. Any of the members can veto this measure. So, look out for Hungary, Czech Republic, Greece, Bulgaria, and Italy next time, when the discussions for extending the sanctions occur.

Not just hard working people, in order to help them we first need the proper infrastructure, that includes proper household, good internet connectivity and minimum knowledge of the bitcoin network along with its advantages and disadvantages.

It is very tough to get this done in poor countries, considering the sheer fact that they are "poor".

It is hard to believe, but even in the poorest nations, a majority of the urban dwellers have access to internet and smartphones. The situation has changed a lot in the past 5-6 years. If Bitcoin takes advantage of this rapid transformation, then it can evolve as a truly universal currency. 

But those people should know the ways of earning bitcoins then it will help a lot in poor countries with good internet connections. In India many places internet connections are quite slow but slowly getting better and people don't have an idea of how they can earn money in online.

It is not that easy to earn bitcoins, if you are not fluent in English. In countries such as India, very few people are knowledgeable about Bitcoins. And most of those who use Bitcoins tend to be from the urban elite.
23945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much would you have now if you bought btc instead of your first smartphone? on: November 23, 2016, 09:06:45 AM
I bought my first smartphone in 2013, when the BTC exchange rate was around $15 per coin. I paid around $90 for the phone. So if I had purchased Bitcoins instead of the phone, I would have had BTC6 in my wallet right now. In today's exchange rate, that amounts to $4,500.
23946  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the price of Bitcoin change more than traditional currencies? on: November 23, 2016, 09:01:38 AM
There are certain fiat currencies, which are even more volatile than the Bitcoin. For example, two years ago the Ukrainian Hryvnia got devalued by 200% in a single day. Also, after the Brexit, the UKP lost almost 10% of its value in a few hours.
23947  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Storing of Bitcoins is against Bitcoin. on: November 23, 2016, 08:49:38 AM
quite true that people should spend their bitcoins, but there aren't enough places to spend though.. Cry

Not only that. Many of the online sites which accept Bitcoin are either unreliable or illegal (dark markets for example). In the US/EU, there may be a lot of shops which accept BTC. But in my country, there are very few of them.

This is what happens when people refuse to increase the block size. This issue would have never occurred, had the miners adopted a block size limit of 8 MB. The current limit of 1MB is too small to cope with the increasing number of users.

Oh Japan again.Japan is in the Pacific ring of fire we didn't know if earthquake and tsunami happen again.Stay safe in Japan

The Japanese technology is capable of minimizing the casualties and damage. Anywhere else in the world, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 would have caused thousands of deaths. But in Japan, this earthquake only resulted in a few minor injuries. The 2011 earthquake was different. It was an extremely large magnitude event.
23950  Other / Politics & Society / Re: New Fukushima Tsunami. on: November 23, 2016, 07:32:44 AM
It was a false-flag. The recent earthquake was a very mild one, with a magnitude of 6.9 (for comparison, the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake had a magnitude of 9.1). Also, remember that the (Richter) magnitude scale is logarithmic. An earthquake with magnitude of 9.0 will be 1,000 times more powerful than one with a magnitude of 7.0.
Japan has to use nuclear power and there's nothing you can do. Is an island country and energy until they get a match. I think that they will always look for other sources of energy, but it will not be soon.

What is wrong with nuclear energy? It is one of the safest, cheapest and cleanest forms of energy available (i.e if the proper safety precautions are followed). At least they are much safer than the coal-fired thermal power plants. Every year, close to 1 million people die as a result of the pollution from the thermal power plants.

And if you eat you? I do not even understand jokes on this topic. My grandmother survived the famine and saw how people ate their sick children to save other children. It's awful!

Reminds me of the movie Hannibal Rising, starring Gaspard Ulliel and Gong Li. In that movie, 8-year old Hannibal is forced to eat his sister's corpse to stay alive. It is OK in the movies... but can't even imagine about it in real life....
23952  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Mr. Trump will warming of relations with Russia. on: November 23, 2016, 07:24:37 AM
Trump seems to be having commonsense. Russia is not a big threat to the United States. The biggest threats are the ISIS and China. Unfortunately, a decade of anti-Russian policies by the American establishment politicians have driven Russia towards China's orbit.

This thread title would have been better for Hillary. She's like dying.

LOL... she died the day the election results came out. Before the elections, she was behaving as if she had some divine right to become the POTUS. In the end, her arrogance and rudeness caused her downfall.

Something similar has been going on in some of the British cities (especially in London and Oldham) for the past several years. It is ironic, and at the same time funny. Idiotic Western Europeans funding and sponsoring their own genocide. Low IQ people doesn't deserve a place in our planet. The sooner these countries become Islamic emirates, that better.

Dead drug dealer and a junkie can not sell or do drugs.

So if there are 100,000 drug dealers and 2 million junkies in Philippines, you are going to kill all of them? Even if you do that, it will be of no use. Every year, new users get addicted to various soft and hard drugs. These 2 million will be replaced in a short time span.

This leads to the fact that if they had not gone to the doctor, they probably would have lived longer. Read the articles at Natural News.

Cool

There are tribal societies in South America and Oceania, which are isolated from the civilization. There is no modern medicine available to these people. Yet, the average life-expectancy is somewhere around 25 years. Compare that to the life expectancy of 85 years in Japan. Still you believe that modern medicine causes a decrease in the life expectancy?

If Trump actually wins the elections on Tuesday, it will be a huge blow to the mainstream media. Never before the MSM has openly favored a political candidate, as they did with Hillary. Also, if Trump manages to win any of the deep-blue states (such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, and New Mexico), then the pollsters will lose all their credibility.

questionnaires never guarantee that there will be exactly as they were told. But of course if you win Trump many will be shocked. We just have to wait

In states like Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the difference between the actual results and the opinion poll figures were almost 2-3 times the error margin. The pollsters have lost their credibility.
23959  Other / Politics & Society / Re: A Message from President-Elect Donald J. Trump on: November 23, 2016, 07:05:17 AM
I think he's moderating in his speech. I still have not heard him talk about the wall on the Mexican border.

It may not be a move to moderate his views. He might have just realized that increasing the security along the border and deporting illegal aliens are more viable alternatives when compared to building the wall.

I think this current hypeo f the american markets and the us dollar is going to end as soon as Trump enters office and starts actually taking decisions that can have impact on the geopolitical situation. The markets are blinded by the fact that the world did in fact not end after Trump got elected, but they are forgetting he will take controversial decisions an it will have an impact, it's then when BTC will shine.

Even today he was talking about scrapping the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. It is going to negatively impact the market. The American corporations will be losing billions of USD, of the deal is cancelled.
