thats just question begging. why did their peers get into it? you could say their piers but then the same question arises. eventally you have to dig down to a level where "their peers" cant be the answer. then what?
Everything people get addicted to is born from the need to self-medicate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbiq2-ukfhMAll other reasons are merely manifestations of this base need. Yea sure i know. I have my own addictions if not tobacco. And i know why i have them. I have quite a bit of self knowledge also. Nothing fixes the need to self medicate. Even stef himself has no where near worked through all of his issues, it shines through if you know what to look for it when watching his stuff. (still a huge fan none the less) |

Why do you suppose kids smoke? Do you suppose its because they create a vin diagram and carefully laid out all of the pros and cons? Obviously not. Its obvious to anyone halfway reasonable that the reason kids smoke is because they aren't supposed to. Its the only rational explanation since smoking its self isnt rational without adding that consideration. You know cocaine used to be totally legal for anyone to buy. A 5 year old could buy as much of it as he wanted. Did we have a cocain epidemic when it was legal for anyone including kids to buy? absolutely not. The moment cocaine addiction began to appear is the moment it became illegal. This is what happens when you use violence to try to address complex social problems, it always achieves the exact opposite of its stated goal. In this case that means that making it illegal for kids to smoke means that more kids will smoke and smart public relations professionals, like the ones in the employ of the cigarette lobby, understand this very well. Frankly though i dont care if you believe me. You can believe what ever you want.
That's not true at all and is some seriously bizarre and twisted logic. I've never heard anyone make this point before. Kids don't just do things because they're illegal. There's many reasons they do, but being illegal probably isn't one of them. Why are they not all strung out on Class As? If they suddenly make cigarettes legal for children are they going to suddenly not want to bother with them? well, there are kids who are rebels without a cause.. they break rules because they think it's cool to be above the law. i don't think that's the entire or even main reason though. i think part of it is peer pressure.. that's what did it for me at least. thats just question begging. why did their peers get into it? you could say their piers but then the same question arises. eventally you have to dig down to a level where "their peers" cant be the answer. then what? |

Nothing violent or threatening ... then bring on the force of the US-law-enforcement on him
Wait wut  I don't get it. Which one of those two things is true? You know the pitchforkgrabbing mob sayings: "Kill him", "track him down and send a few guys to break some of his bones!". I don't want any of that to happen, just legal enforcement. Thats no threatening right? I suppose there is a distinction in the sense that the mob would just kill you while the cops would give you the choice of being killed or locked in some dungeon with a bunch of horny homosexual neanderthals. more choice is always better but i wouldnt color it in terms of violence vs not violence or threat vs non threat. I am no expert for financial crime law but do you really think he would serve jail time for such a thing? I was thinking in terms of restitution + big fine+ online shaming and killing his credibility associated with his real name. Well idk but fraudsters deserve what they get so dont worry about it. +1 for the mob and leg breaking if he really defrauded people. Turns out it was most likely a "she" and "asian"... Still want to sick the government dogs on her? Oh, so we should just automatically go easy on her because she has a vagina?... Sorry, but I don't fall for the rampant sexist propaganda that circles almost all cultures. If we're going to claim that women deserve equal treatment (I'm assuming we do), then that has to be universal and apply to everything including consequences. Edit: Also, I don't think we should be physically violent with anyone, man or women. i certainly never said that. it was purely a question resulting from my legitimate curiosity about whether the vagina effected his position. ironically the point of the question your comment is in reference to was probably very similar to your question its self. |

That is always plan B. Plan A is to convince her to pay back everything and own up.. Yes that sounds right to me. Ideally we wouldn't live in a society with governments, but so long as we do you cant help but use them sometimes. |

No one has ever made a convincing argument for why i should do that. I mean im always open minded though, so maybe there is some really strong argument that i simple haven't encountered yet. What convinced you to decide to do that? If the argument that convinced you is good enough maybe ill start.
Look I smoke , the first time I did it I don't think I was even able to contradict any argument i was too young and Naive back then , I just tried it and I didn't liked it at all the first time i did it, but somewhere later I started liking it..! I never encourage anyone to smoke or neither do I stop anyone doing it, Its all about your Personal Choice if you want to do it in some point of your life you should do it otherwise your life is better without it too.! My great grandfather used to smoke a lot and he died in his 90's. yea thats how cigarettes seem to work. the cigarette industry lobbies the government to make them illegal for kids to smoke so that kids will smoke them and then the kids get addicted and the rest is history. its a sad story. hopefully you will be as luck as your grandpa. Haha. There's a lot of lobbying by the industry but they're not lobbying to make sure cigarettes are illegal for kids so they then go smoke. They're not trying reverse psychology here. I'm sure they'd much rather cigarettes be legal to sell to kids, but most sane nations aren't going to do this. Why do you suppose kids smoke? Do you suppose its because they create a vin diagram and carefully laid out all of the pros and cons? Obviously not. Its obvious to anyone halfway reasonable that the reason kids smoke is because they aren't supposed to.

I'm back.
Where my eXo @?!?!?  Havn't been contacted by exo_coin. Also if any of you guys want out you better ask now because im not messaging each person individually to make sure that you want me to do this trade. If you don't ask for a refund before the time comes to distribute stake it will be interpreted as consent. |

I love how the NXT community is silent over this thread. Sketch coin
NXT its'nt worthy of a coin. It''s a clone which claims to be unique. I'm afraid you arn't educated on this. This is false. Nxt's code is built from scratch from the ground up. |

how much I can expect to mint with 5000 for ex a month?
it would probably take about 10 weeks to find a block with only 5000 nxt. that block could have up to 1000 nxt in it if someone registered an asset, but most likely it would have between 0 and 25 nxt. *edit* forging will not be profitable until the demand for space in blocks exceeds the supply. How many NXT do you think will make worthy profit for forging? at this point in time forging is not like mining. its not a thing where you can hope to make a profit. its something that people who own stake do because they want their stake to retain its value and the network must be secure inorder for it to do this. also if you own stake anyway, you may as well forge and make the little money that you can. the point is that its not a "gold mine" like with POW cryptos. now in the future this could change as demand for space in the blockchain exceeds the supply of space but we arnt there yet. |
