Like Tesla FF91

I think that we can make a change or initiate a change in how we do our transportation. Yes, there is a strong case and call for greener living but scientists are also concerned on how people are getting caught up with green energy that we do more harm to the environment by pushing for its creation.

For nearly 30 years, through the five presidential years, the United States has not stopped the Korean weapons program.


I think that North Korea has been this as there is no hard sanction that was really imposed on it. Furthermore North Korea is flexing its muscles and not one ever really went there to confront as we are also held hostage by the brink of nuclear war.

so i have been hearing radio waves now i know for sure this is not a medical issue more strange things have come to me i cant describe it but how do i stop the radio waves? this is going on everyday 24/7 and the strange things to.

I think that in this case more research would be required as it might be a case of paranoia or if you think that something is amiss then further evidence should be presented. Then and only then can we make a case if this call for somethig big or just an illusion.

if you don't think so, can you explain how to solve that problem? at least it starts from your selves?

Of course it would be a yes. If we do not believe on this advocacy then what would be the point in pursuing it and trying to make a difference. However I think it is not just resting solely on the people who are in the government but also to the constituents who favor this red tape and bribery.
2645  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Guns - Why do we need them? on: October 05, 2017, 12:30:27 PM
We are living the most peaceful times in human history, yet there are people killed by the dozens every day. Guns and weapons are meant to "protect" but are used as means to "eradicate". Why do we need guns? What do you think?

Yes, it might appear that our world right now is peaceful and I still do believe it. But we still need guns for protection, however I strongly believe that it should not be given to individuals freely. The power to hold or even the authority to own a gun is not just like buying a piece of fruit in a supermarket. It is able to take and save a life at the same time and people can do things unspeakable if this is left unchecked and not properly given to regulations and stricter laws.

Social media has a great impact on our daily life. The socio-cultural behavior is changed. Most of the times we are passing on internet and social medias. For this reason, we have started to loose social communication. Digital  communication has taken place instead of physical communication. Though we are connected with whole world through internet, it has some negative impacts also. Family bonding, social bonding,  these relations are affected. 

With the progression of the internet and the communication innovation that our world is currently on. Social Media has really been a key tool in both creating bridges and creating walls. With faster information and easier transport of news, social media can create a fad and trend that in olkder days can seem impossible. In social media lies can be forged and truths stretched and an unknwoing person can be an agent of fake news and scandals by simply sharing.
2647  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Will Kill The Income Tax on: October 04, 2017, 02:57:59 PM
As the age of cryptocurrency comes into full force, it will facilitate a subversively viable taxation avoidance strategy for many of the technically savvy users of peer-to-peer payment systems. In doing so, cryptocurrency use will act to erode the tax revenue base of national jurisdictions, and ultimately, reposition taxation as a voluntary, pay-for-performance function. In this post, I cover some of the benefits such a strategy will have for cryptocurrency investors, why our notion of taxation is ripe for disruption, and why cryptocurrency taxation is enabled by default.

Read The Full Article

I think there really is a distinct reality that this is a possibility as there is no current income tax regulation for cryptocurrencies or electrical money if you will. It bypasses a large amount of checks and balances that happens in regular currency and money as is so evident in salaries and many more. Bitcoin can bypass this by being technically money yet not yet money as this is still in the system and not yet encashed however given a chance the gocvernment is sure to jump on this.
2648  Economy / Economics / Re: Why the world really needs virtual currencies on: October 03, 2017, 04:49:43 PM
I came across an article this morning that, to me, really shows why the world needs a virtual currency. I'm from England, and there's a saying here that goes: "When America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold." The article discusses the history of the Asian Financial Crisis, and how we may be heading toward something similar.

It amazes me that we have a currency that can potentially protect us (working people) from global financial crises. This is unique and incredible time in history!  Grin

https://www.rt.com/op-edge/398890-financial-crisis-asia-curency/

The world is progressing towards technological and convenient worlld. It also goes to say that having a cashless currency wherein everything is held digitally and electrnically is a step towards the right direction. The world is getting towards its fast paced and very speedy type of business phase and having a currency wherein you can send, earn and invest money is a big boon to not just consumers but also to capitalists and investors that are looking to be successful.

Almost all products nowadays are made in China? is it a good thing or not?

Most products are now made in China as the manpower is cheaper and that companies are better to start there because the facilities and the rules governing or  regulating them are much better or favors them than in other companies. I think it is not neccessarily a bad thing that most products are made their however it gives China a power over countries and gives them so much flexibility and leevwayu as they made their land and labor a barganining chip/
2650  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you believe all of the religious people are bad ? on: October 03, 2017, 03:54:38 PM
According to me, All of the religions are poisoning people's mindset and soul . I am sure sure that religions make humanity into evil creatures. What do you think about this situation ? I would like to learn your opinions.

I think that this is a misconception that not all religious people are bad and not all bad people are as worse as those who are in a religion. What most people think of religious people are that they are hypocrites and that they are self righteous which they automatically egquate to being worse and bad and they genralize the people who are in it. WHile I however believe that there are people who are there who p[ractice being good and wants to be good.
2651  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are Muslims synonym to terrorism? on: October 02, 2017, 03:54:08 PM
Terrorism should not have been generalized with the faith of a person.
Yet, muslims or the follower of Islam are looked as a terrorist around the world. (we might not but the majority of world does.)
What could be the reason for such stereotype?

I think it has become a stereotype because the media portrays it and we have been led to belioeve that all terrorists are islamic in nature when in reality islam condones this act and that terrorism knows no religion and respects no stereotype. Terrorism aims that people be divided and fear the islamic people so that they can be targeted and spread lies and dissent that when they strike we are a world divided. That is why it is very important that we know the difference of the two.
2652  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why do men think women are inferior to them ? on: October 02, 2017, 03:36:34 PM
For centuries, People think that women are the creatures who deserve to be treated badly. Most of the men think that women are fragile, powerless and they cannot make a significant contribution to improvement to civilizations. Where are these opinions come from ? What do you think ?

Men have always thought that in a way women are inferior to them due to the society and cultural factors that have affected us through the years. We were born to believe that the females are just all should be living their life in homes while the men go off to work to conquer the world. However, the world has changed and progressed a lot and female empowerment has made it possible for the female to even exceed males in some departments,.
2653  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do people believe in conspiracy theories? on: September 28, 2017, 01:27:12 PM
People are all different, so the reasons for them believing in conspiracies cover a broad range of factors. In general, though, people tend to believe in conspiracies because of helplessness.I found that belief in conspiracy theories is strongly linked to insecurity about employment, alienation, lack of interpersonal trust, and minority status ...

I think the reason why so many people loved conspiracy theories is that they fascinate themselves on alternate truths and the version that makes everything better. It is so much a fantasy to some that they crave and would very much want to be true because it gives credence to their alternate versions.
2654  Other / Politics & Society / Re: why do some people think atheists have no moral principles ? on: September 28, 2017, 01:13:04 PM
I always find this idea absurd. People do not need to believe in a religion to be a well-behaved person but many of the people think that people must have religious beliefs to be a good person. What are your opinions of this question ?

I think that it is because we always have the wrong notion for peiple who do not believe on a higher being or even to some extent to people who have different beliefs as purs. BUt what is really important is we try to keep an open mind as they are still people and no matter the difference they have humanity. Sometimes much more than people who have beliefs.
2655  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your opinion on recreational drug use on: September 28, 2017, 01:04:39 PM
As you can see in the subject, what is your opinion on a recreational use of drugs? So far I've noticed that guys that do drugs like mdma, ecstasy, cocaine, weed(if you consider it a drug, I don't tho) are lowlifes that are in the setting of "Let's get wasted, party and then do some more drugs" and nothing else but they always look at themselves as something higher than the others.

What is your opinion on that and is it the same at your place?

Also...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7rXlbHtcqM

I think that there really cant be helped on the emergence of recreational drug use at is is proven time and time again that it can benefit people on their pain and other sickness. I just think that there need to be a regulation to control its use but as log as we are restricting people would stoll clamor for it.
2656  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are rich countries rich and poor countries poor? on: September 28, 2017, 04:20:06 AM
So I was just surfing the web during my downtime and the internet being a rabbit hole that it is, I realized I got to this page....  http://www.scienceagogo.com/news/20010817233944data_trunc_sys.shtml

Having read Guns, Germs and Steel before (as well as watching the documentary on Youtube), I was really surprised that the difference can be attributed to simple things like frost.

This got me thinking, if you believe the poor countries are already locked in to their fate by the cards dealt them, does this mean they are blameless for their current situation? Did colonialism really messed them up or it simply exacerbated an existing problem? And how can poor countries overcome the challenges to becoming 1st-World?

Firstly I think that the main reason a country is rich is if it was able to ytilize the natural resources given to them. Yes some countries might be a disadvantage but countries like Japan and others was able to focus on other things aside from their natural resources. Second I do think that there is a lasting effect on colonialism.

Many years talk about global warming, pollution. What do you think about it? Can it be reversed?

We should not rely on the government to get this done, if all i dividuals have the same mindset and create a movement to save this planet we call home then we all would be enjoying the ability to be happy and enjoy a life here on earth and make a change for future generations to enjoy.
2658  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What to do with the people who don't like Bitcoin? on: September 26, 2017, 04:18:58 PM
What would you do when you're talking to someone but then he suddenly talks about his hatred on Bitcoin, what would you react to it?

I've never actually experienced anything like this before, I just want to be prepared when it happened to me.

The only way to deal with this kind of people I think is to be open to their opiniuons and do not be affected by it as they might have their own reasons for their hatred to Bitcoin. You can also try to just show them how bitcoin was able to change your life, that way they can know that its effect is true as it is visible to you.
2659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin as Ransom on: September 26, 2017, 03:34:07 PM
What if you had, let's say....5000 Bitcoins in your custody and suddenly someone demanded it as a ransom in exchange for someone very important to you, would you make the exchange?

I think no one in their right mind would say that they would choose Bitcoin over someone that they loved or treasure as they would always choose that we save the person that is kidnapped. No amount of Bitcoin can ever replace that person that is just kidnapped or worse being tortured and the fact that you chose money over that person if you do choose Bitcoin is something that kills your conscience and morals.

Cool

I think it is very unfair for cops even though they did inhimane acts to be compared to ISIS. The terrorist group are famous for burning, killing without mercy, beheading and worse. I'mnot sayi gthat the cops are forgivable but in contrat what they did pales to what Isis does
