There's nothing that's going to be done to change the fact that regulatory issues are going to be a burden to the gambling industry. The gambling industry is one which preys on people, and I think regulating this isn't something which should be frowned upon. I don't think kids being given the ability to gamble online is something which many would support.

But yeah, if you want to get around it use a VPN -- though, you're still breaking the law and the company could cancel any winnings which you incur on the site because you're using a VPN. It's a win-win for them, as they won't do the reverse with losses.

It's the mind of a gambler, they want to be able to convince themselves that they've found out the way to win -- and in their mind, it is the way to win, while they're winning at least. Sadly enough all of this will end at a certain point, and all of it will come crashing down on them when they lose it all.

This is a cycle where these people keep trying to crack the code -- though they don't understand that the code they're trying to crack is a code which is set up to beat them.

These difficulties that Social Security is having isn't because of problems in the program, it's because Politicians never wanted to change the program as it should have been in order to adjust for old age. As Social Security (when it was started) was pretty much a gift to people who could live long enough to be able to get what they put into the program. I'm not saying that we should change the program to fit like it was. What we should do is admit that politicans failed the program as a whole.

They took money from the Social Security fund and loaned it to themselves in order to pay into the mass amounts of programs that they needed to pay for.

I mean, nothing that Manafort did under Trump is being called under question as of right now. The only thing that is under question in all of the crimes that he's been found guilty of (and the crimes that there was a hung jury on) are crimes that have nothing to do with President Trump -- the have to do with Manaforts lobbying from 5 or so years ago. Which was under his own lobbying company.


Or maybe he has nothing on Trump and just has to swallow his pride and take whatever the court gives him. Though this will probably just end up in appeals anyway, and who knows what the Manafort legal time will be able to do.


AH I SAID THIS BEFORE, NICE CATCH LIBERALS!!!!!


High negativity makes the media money, they're going to keep doing this in order to keep their bottom line nice, fat, and green. They'll keep doing this to get more and more clicks to continue to pad their bottom lines.

Maybe the people will notice that the media can't be trusted, but maybe they won't.

Yes, he is still the leader of the freeworld. While he may only(if you want to say only for god sake) be the President, the alliances of the United States, the trade of the united states, and the people of United States -- he is the President of the Free World

Being the President of the United States means a lot, and if people are going to try to say that it doesn't mean anything they're obviously delusional.

I think that at the levels we're thinking at about income limits then it's not going to be something which is the same problem we have now (as the problem we have now set the limit too low, something around 24,000 which makes the gain from not working harder outweighs the benefits)

I don't think we should establish where these people spend their money, this is their own decision on what they're going to be doing with their money.


Ah, Suchmoon -- we agree on so much around here!

CGP Grey is usually a pretty good source, but sometimes these people abuse their audience as a way to throw them fake news. People have been saying that AI is going to take over all of the jobs of the world for years now, but it's never going to happen at least to the degree that people think it will.

This is fear mongering that is happening by so many people to push their own bottom line today.. as a way to freak people out for tomorrow.

I wouldn't go this far, though. You can't just go ahead and say that the only people that are going to become priests are gays and pedophiles I'm not going to be the one that defends the Catholic church for the atrocities that they have committed over the years, it's just not something that is possible to justify.

But yes, I do agree with at least one point in this -- I agree that the priests in the church should be allowed to marry. I don't really understand why they aren't allowed to do this already, but maybe someone can enlighten me on the issues of them getting married or something along these lines.

I would hope that prosecutors come down on the Catholic Church and finally show them that this type of behavior has to be rooted out of the church. They should be punished and scrub all of this forever, though who knows if they ever will.z

This is what people should understand, we don't want to see Russia and the United States ever go to a real full-scale war -- if this was to ever be the case the world would be obliterated as we know it.

Though we shouldn't underestimate the ability of proxy wars, as we are having proxy wars around the world as of right now -- as these two nations would never actually go to war against one another but they're going to use other nations in between them.

If we were ever to see the two of them go toe to toe, the US would remove them from the earth. The US has the tech, the capacity, and the willpower to win all of this out. Though we only know so much of what the capacity of some of these nations REALLY are (as there is covert stuff)

 

This is more of what I mean when I'm talking about these cases, as I do think that these cases are only being looked into due to the relation with Trump. If these were people who had no relation to Trump in the slightest, the penalties wouldn't be as stiff nor would anyone really care too much.

Campaign finance violation is without a doubt a reach, and it's something that Trump knows. He knows that other politicans have got in trouble for campaign finance-related activities -- and all it has lead to was some fines (nothing actually criminally)

I think all of this just helps Trump as he's going to cast the AG (DOJ) as working against him and the special counsel as meddling in things he has no business in.

People also don't understand the fact that if you remove Trump, who is someone who is HATED by the Democrats (and some moderates) by his strong stance on immigration, abortion, and so on and so forth. But when you're replacing someone like Trump I would assume people would want a push to moderate, but with removing him they're going to be getting Mike Pence

Mike Pence isn't anything close to moderate, and I think it would be fact for most people that Pence is much farther right then Trump on many things.

But I guess, back onto the topic.

I do think that people must remember that the crimes that Manafort committed had nothing to do with President Trump, and he is showing that he isn't going to flip (maybe because he has nothing to flip on, or maybe there's something that we're all not seeing at the moment) Though with Cohen, his crimes did relate to Donald Trump-- though I don't think the crimes that he committed were anything that should concern the President at all

I mean, Campaign Finance laws are laws without a doubt -- but the only thing I see coming out of this is a fine, which is what has happened to other politicians campaigns in the past. Though Muellers end game is to just try and flip people, though I would think that after this long something would have been dug up.

Lets see what will happen... I guess.

Ah, thank god I found someone on this board who I share the same views with. People don't understand that the first wave of feminism WAS about equality among women, but this new wave of feminism doesn't follow these same ideals. This new wave of feminism is one which hates men and hates everything about them. They're trying to remove the masculinity from men, and that's the plan in the end.

But yes, not all women are represented by this 'hate men' campaign -- which is something I don't think the feminists understand at all.

Feminism is a valid cause when defined as the equality of all women. But when it is defined as a campaign which hates men, then it's something I can't agree with in the least.

Even though the media is going to try to spin this in a way which means that England is going to run out of water, this just simply isn't going to happen. People have to understand that this isn't the case -- even if England does run out of water, there is going to be other ways of getting water into the country. If this is really an issue, there is going to be some advancements in science that is going to lead to getting water from other sources, business is going to advance as they see an ability to make money off of this -- and they're going to compete in order to bring water to England (if this is REALLY an issue)

Though I don't think it is an issue in the least, people, have to understand that.

You missed the part where this isn't the 'real socialism' and that they failed in their 'development' and the 'wrong people are in charge'

People don't understand that this is what a government FULLY entrenched in socialism is a government that is ALWAYS going to end up like Venezuela.

I do hope that they go down in flames, and I really do hope that people learn from this -- though I don't know if this is going to end up being the case. It always seems to end up being that people are going to say that this isn't the 'real way' and they're going to try it again somewhere else. It's usually a nation that was beautiful and booming before too, sad.....

I've heard this time and time again, the imminent war between the world powers which is going to come -- but weirdly enough never does. People don't seem to understand that these world nations are never going to go to war if they ever do the entire world would be destroyed and that would be the end of humanity as we know it. These world nations, through geopolitics, may seem like they're always on the way to war -- but they're not.

It's a scare tactic as a way to keep people at bay -- mostly within the authoritarian countries of Russia, China, and so on and so forth. The United States MAY use this as well -- though I don't think this is used to the same degree as countries that really do need it in order to use scare tactics against their citizens.

Russia is given a good amount of space in their own little 'sphere of influence' though, so people must remember this.

People also forget that Russia has a large amount of influence in the European area -- check out this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_in_the_European_energy_sector)

I'm not going to comment on anything you said before, it seems to be surrounded and shrouded with a good amount of conspiracy theories that I don't even want to comment on.

Though what I do want to comment on is the issue of Jeff Sessions. I do think that President should be able to have an Attorney General that is on the same wavelength as them. I don't think it's fair to President Trump to have an AG who is openly working against him. At this moment we even have Senators coming out and saying the same things that I'm saying right now.

Take some of these as an example
- This is from Lindsey Grahm, one who has now changed on the issue.


I know a good amount of Democrats are going to equate this to some Nixon level shit, but with an attorney general who is pretty much going rogue on the President in public, this is something that shouldn't be looked at as something other than a rogue member of the administration.

I really don't even understand how people come for conclusions like this, how is the leader of the freeworld a puppet which is controlled by somoene else? Makes no sense to me personally.



But yeah, ILLUMININATI RUNS ALL OF HIS HOTELS AND DONALD J TRUMP JR is a spawn of Satan. Am I doing this right?

While most countries do have their own laws, and when I was talking I was talking about the United States most countries tax laws are going to be pretty similar when it comes to short term capital gains vs long term capital gains. Most countries do have their own sort of capital gains, and long term is the best capitals gains to have (speaking on a tax savings way of thinking here)

But yes, some countries don't charge capital gains tax at all - though typically this is done for people that are foreigners to the country, and not the people living in the country itself. I don't know of many countries which have no capital gains tax for their own citizens and for foreigners.

Back on topic here, don't take tax advice from some random guy on the internet. Read into stuff yourself and consult a tax professional in your area.

I mean I would understand the using of ETH during times where Bitcoin TX fees are high, and the volatility with Bitcoin is higher. But that right now, just isn't the case in the least. As ETH is on a long ways down, and the bitcoin TX fees are dirt cheap right now.

Don't know why'd you want to use ETH when you're going to get access to more sites when you're using bitcoin. I don't see a difference (at all) in the gambling sites that offer the two as well. Why not just use the REAL coin and not have to work with some BS alts.

I wouldn't go this far in saying that it's MUCH MORE PROFITABLE to make only one bet in each round. You may have better chances of winning yes, but you have no more chance to have more profitability.

When it comes to better, you're going to either be lucky or you're not going to be lucky. The house edge may be the factor in you being lucky or not (given if you make more bets or not) but in the end, you're either going to get lucky or you don't, and more times then not you're not going to end up lucky and the house is going to win.

I'd recommend understanding that there is no good gambling strat, and you're going to have to just bet for pleasure and not for gain.

To be honesty, I really don't understand your logic. Lets just say that these gambling sites use the KYC card as a way to hold money longer -- this is due to make the users of their site hate them, and then put shitty feedback about them all over the internet, and then report them to consumer financial authorities in their own country -- which is most likely going to lead to the country telling the company that they're unlicensed and can't service their country with online gambling.

Now through all of this, they held one customer's funds, and now they have lost out on an ENTIRE COUNTRIES people due to it. I don't see that logic at all.

I think KYC holding of funds has to be done for a reason, any other way is just going to lead to the demise of the company at some point.
