2761  Other / Politics & Society / Should Hillary Clinton go to prison for EmailGate? on: February 02, 2016, 05:07:14 PM

Quote
Hillary and her mouthpieces have kept pushing the line that none of this information was “marked” classified when it appeared in her personal emails

Quote
The official, who was not authorized to speak on the record and was limited in discussing the contents because of their highly classified nature, was referring to the 22 “TOP SECRET” emails that the State Department announced Friday it could not release in any form, even with entire sections redacted.

Quote
Today FoxNews has reported that those twenty-two Top Secret emails included “operational intelligence” that involves espionage sources and methods, adding that lives have been put at risk by Hillary’s mishandling of this information.

Quote
At a minimum, valuable covers have been blown, careers have been ruined, and lives have been put at serious risk.

Quote
The total now stands at over 1580 Clinton emails containing classified information

Quote
And what about those 30,000 emails that Ms. Clinton had deleted? “I’ll spend the rest of my career trying to figure out what classified information was in those,” stated an exasperated Pentagon counterintelligence official, “everybody is mad as hell right now.” “The worst part,” the counterspy added,” is that Moscow and Beijing have that information but the Intelligence Community maybe never will.”

Poor Science... only 0.7% of the budget Sad
Education, 2.6%...

Military budget is still more than the rest of the world spends on military combined



I don't like how they lump Social Security in with Unemployment & Labor... Social Security is a separate tax, with a separate budget (before congress stole the funds in the bank account anyway)
2763  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Re: How will older full nodes cope with 2Mb blocks if they arrive on: February 02, 2016, 08:36:39 AM
That's what I thought, so how can the 2Mb chain survive if half the nodes (not miners) reject large transactions. It seems that miners won't build large blocks and risk them being rejected. This means that the 2Mb blocks will never be created, hence no practical change to the blockchain.

I assume it would be introduced similar to a soft fork...

Allow the miners to vote on it based on block version number... if 75% consensus is achieved, it becomes standard.  Then at 95%, non-standard block are rejected, causing the hard-fork...

If that happens, there wont be much hash power left in the 5% fork (or I suppose 25% when it activates?)... it would die quickly

Long ago, in a galaxy far away, I was once a Christian...

Reminds me of a story:

On my Sunday afternoon bike ride I always pass by this small farm. One week I noticed a big sign by the gate: "Christian puppies for sale." It was still there the next week...

Two weeks later there was a new big sign: "Atheist puppies for sale."

That made me curious, so I turned in and rode up to the farm house. Saw the farmer by the barn, rolled over, and introduced myself. I told him I had seen the "Christian puppies" sign two weeks earlier, and I was wondering what the deal was.

"I got puppies for sale."

"So I gathered. Did you get a new litter this week?"

"Nope. Same puppies"

"So, why were they Christian puppies for the last two weeks, but now they are Atheist puppies?"

"They opened their eyes"

First of all, God isn't a murder. Why not? God owns everything. So, even if He takes life away, He was the One Who gave it in the first place. It is His by right, to do with as He pleases.

So you condone murdering your own children for any reason?  How could you claim that to be moral?

How many opportunities does God give? Many. Every time a person thwarts and attempts to thwart the laws that God has set in place, and the person does not immediately die from doing so, God has saved the person for another day, and given him/her some more chances.

I would advise you to read the Exodus from Egypt...

Does God give Pharaoh many chances?  NO! You didn't actually read it did you?

According to scripture, Pharaoh was ready to let the Israelites go after Moses asked the first time, but "God hardened Pharaoh's heart" each time so he could send plague after plague at him... Eventually murdering the firstborn child of every Egyptian citizen, servant and animal

Basically God is punishing the Egyptians for a non-sin... because Pharaoh wanted to let them go, until God stopped him by hardening his heart...

wtf is that about?  God sounds like a real asshat in this story too...

Oops... were 22 of those emails classified "TOP SECRET"?

Does that mean Hillary is going to prison?  Can you feel the Bern?

You are trying to propagage a meme about a political candidate using classical Communist and Socialist buzz words and slang.

Who is the one trying to propagate lies?

Bernie is neither a Communist nor a Socialist... he's a "Democratic Socialist", which really means nothing... try looking into his policies before you label him an evil communist nazi...  Do a little bit of research and you may find you actually like the guy, and what he stands for...

The closest comparison would be FDR, who some call "our last great president"...
2769  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Can you feel the Bern? on: February 02, 2016, 03:12:23 AM
Bernie is the real deal... he has a 40 year track record in congress of being ahead of the curve, not behind it...

Bernie Sanders has been fighting for your rights since before you were born!
http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/20-examples-bernie-sanders-powerful-record-civil-and-human-rights-1950s

Bernie has been pro-gay right for decades, Hillary only jumped on the bandwagon last year when it became the trend...

Iowa is feeling the Bern, New Hampshire Berning all over... Can you feel the Bern from your town?

Bernie Sanders wants to save you money by getting rid of greedy health insurance companies... saving you $thousands every year... can you feel the Bern?

Bernie Sanders wants to shut down corporate greed, money in politics, and tax loopholes for billionaires... do ya dig?

Bernie Sanders does not accept campaign contributions from corporations, banks, wall-street, etc.  His average donation is less than $30... that's you and me bro...

Martin Shkreli donated $2,700 to Bernie's Campaign in an attempt to get an interview (the maximum individual donation)... Bernie rejected the interview, and donated the $2700 to the Whitman-Walker health clinic

Are you starting to feel the Bern?

Without religion, good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things...  But, it takes something like religion, to get a good person to fly a plane into a building, killing hundreds of people, thinking that will get them into heaven with 72 virgins... wtf?

Evil is a fictitious incarnation based in fear... there is no such thing as evil from an objective viewpoint

People steal because they fear they cannot eat... is that evil?

People lie because they fear their friends will not like the truth... is that evil?

People can justify murder if the person they are killing is 'a criminal', worthy of capital punishment... is murder evil?

WHOEVER HAS THE GUNS WRITES THE LAWS

anyone who thinks differently is a complete moron.

Since when do banks and pharmaceutical companies need guns to write laws?  Is this new?

America is an oligarchy (look it up if you need to)...

Rich people write the laws... like the Koch brothers... they don't spend $900,000,000 each year lobbying congress if they aren't making ROI on that investment...  for every billion they spend, they save 2 billion in new tax loopholes...

Forget what you learned from School House Rock about, "How a bill becomes a law"... things have changed:

Do you believe the Molech?

If I believed in מלך, I would not be an Atheist, would I?

Why would you believe in the Christian God?  He's a murderer! He also commands his followers to murder nearly everyone...

According to the bible, God personally murders:
The world with a flood (20 million?)
Sodom and Gammorah (50k?)
The firstborn son of every Egyptian (100k?) (Exodus 11:5)
The Egyptian army (a lot of soldiers)
The Assyrians (185,000) (2 Kings 19:35)
Isrealites (500,000+) (Numbers 16:49, Numbers 25:9, Deuteronomy 2:14-16, 1 Samuel 6:19, 2 Samuel 24)
...and many more...

God orders the Israelites to murder:
All the men, women and children in 60 cities (60 cities?!?) (Deuteronomy 3:6)
The Midianites (Numbers 31:17)
Jericho (Joshua 6:21)
The Cananites (Judges 1:4)
The Moabites (Judges 3:28)
...and many more...



Satan murders:
Sarah (1)
Job's wife, children, and servants (a dozen?) (this was completely condoned by God)
...and that's the complete list...

According to the bible, Satan kills a baker's dozen, while God kills by the millions...
God orders the Israelites to murder by the hundreds of thousands, committing genocide over a dozen times!... completely wiping out civilizations!

How do you reach Wisdom and Science without the Lord?

Without religion and "The Dark Ages", we would be 300+ years more advanced in terms of science and technology...  religion destroys science, murders scientists... religions burned the Library of Alexandria... not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!
2777  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: February 01, 2016, 07:00:38 PM
Don't you like Wisdom and Science?

I love wisdom and science, which is why I oppose religion.  Faith is the antithesis of wisdom and science.

Religion requires belief without evidence, and without critical thinking...

Science promotes evidence based belief... and not just any evidence either, it must be 1) substantiated via experimentation, 2) repeatable and independently verified by multiple scientists, 3) withstand the scrutiny of the peer review process, 4) persist and stand the test of time

Religious beliefs/evidence do not do meet the criteria used by science

Why you put yourself in God's shoes?

Why not?  I like to assess a situation from all sides before making a decision for my soul...

Did you believe the first religion that came along? (I assume the religion of your parents as most people)
Do you know a single aspect of Islam, Hinduism or Buddhism besides 'they evil heathens'?
What if Christianity is wrong, and the Hindus chose the correct religion?

Have you even read the bible?  I have read the bible, and that is the main reason I am an atheist...  no God would ever write that book, or condone the behavior in it.

Why are you using this name?

I came across it playing a MUD on a BBS around 20 years ago, and it looked cool, so I started using it...
2778  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: February 01, 2016, 06:06:28 PM
Let's not even mention the fact that playing by the rules God supposedly created himself, he is destined to get fewer souls than Satan...

Only around 30% of the world is Christian (even counting Mormons, etc)... If God gets <50% of the souls, he loses the game to Satan...  Why would he create and play such a game?
2779  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: February 01, 2016, 06:00:34 PM
God made us to praise and worship Him.

Where did you get that idea?  It makes zero sense...

Just think about it... I know it's difficult, but try to put yourself in God's shoes for 2 seconds...

You are God... you are all-powerful... what do you do?  Create a universe for the sole purpose of having these little ants worship you?  Nope... that's not it...

Ok, no more playing God, you are back to yourself again... Would you create an ant-farm and try to convince them to worship you?  Would you be super happy if a few of them did worship you?  Does any of this make sense?
2780  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why do Atheists hate Religion ? on: February 01, 2016, 05:53:30 PM
God is just. He will punish wicked people according to the quantity and quality of their wickedness.
Says who?
God says it Himself in the bible.

God didn't write the bible, Christians stopped believing that ages ago (because some claims are provably incorrect in the bible)... so nowadays, it's only "divinely inspired, but written by men"
