I am very difficult to accept homosexuals, I feel they are very uncoordinated, and easy to mislead the child's sexual orientation, so I put an end to homosexuals.

Yes, the child in most cases takes an example from the parents and in the future this innocent child may want to create a homosexual family only because his parents were gay. The child needs maternal weasel and father protection.
A very good idea. Only I can not understand why in different countries of the world adopted laws which contribute to the promotion of same-sex marriage. In the British Parliament the largest percentage of gays. Could such a situation in the world, and we don't know.

Because some countries are able to progress while other countries keep thousand year old traditions without questioning.

altgamerf4, if you think that a child (who was ditched by his/her straight parents) is going to grow up gay because he/she is raised by gay parents, then how is it that you ever get a gay person, because they're all coming from straight parents right?  Doesn't really work that way does it?  Otherwise every child of straight parents would be straight.

Free market for a decentralized currency dude.  It's there for anyone to dominate.  As soon as you want rules like that, you need a governing authority, and eventually you will have special interests at the cost of everyone else.

I call bullshit. If all pharmaceuticals were banned as of today, 90% (random fact) of healthy humans would still live to an old age. I know I would anyway, why shouldnt others?

They may live to 50-60 years, but what about their children? By banning the pharmaceuticals, you are banning vaccinations as well. Diseases which were once eradicated will come back, such as Smallpox, Measles, Diphtheria, Anthrax.etc. Millions, if not billions of people will die from them. And have you imagined how worse the TB epidemic is going to be in the third world nations, if the antibiotics are not available?

There are definitely useful drugs that come out of the pharmaceutical industry.  If the goal was to make the world's population healthy however, revenues and profits wouldn't increase over time.  But revenue and profits are the goal, so they need as many customers as they can get.  This includes selling substances which may not be in the best interest of the consumer.  But the sales person, is also your consultant (doctor).  Many very addictive drugs are prescribed such as oxycontin or morphine or any strong opiate, which should not be thrown around lightly to people that aren't prepared to get into that game.

Vaccinations and antibiotics like you mentioned are great things that come from the pharmaceutical industry, but it's mixed with a bunch of bullshit as well.  Most people don't do their research and trust a doctors recommendations, and their education has been manipulated for recommendations and solutions to come from pharmaceuticals.  Big pharma also has a huge interest in keeping any naturally growing medicines that can't be patented out of everyone's hands through prohibition.
I really agree that it is not possible to approach the drug trade radically, because there are so many medical prescriptions that help patients get rid of not only pain but also, in a sense, treated with the help of light drugs. This does not mean of course that they need to be legalized in every country, but nevertheless there are such views that some kinds can be legalized.

I don't think anything requires banning to be honest.  Consumers need to be intelligent about the purchases they make and educate themselves with what they're putting into their body.  Most people are not even remotely educated on drugs and basically put 100% trust into a doctor's recommendation.  I'm not a fan of highly addictive opiates, but even then I don't think they need to be prohibited to the point where people need to start going to jail.  If you're not going to harm anyone else, you should have the liberty to do whatever you want to do.  But it's not that way with altering your consciousness.  Someone that has no aggression cannot do for example, cannabis, psilocybin, LSD or MDMA legally.  These drugs don't typically make anyone aggressive, in fact if you normally have aggression I'd even say it would lower the aggression.  There is no threat to anyone that isn't there with a sober person.  Yet it's illegal and instead of questioning that authority, the people on the thread encourage their rights being taken away.

What Are Your Thoughts On Vegans? Or Going Vegan ?

Do you have concerns about animal abuse by eating meat or using animal products?

Do you feel strongly that it is your right to eat meat?

I do eat meat, but the amount of meat that I eat is decreasing as time goes by.

I don't like factory farmed animals that are treated like garbage, given terrible living conditions and pumped with antidepressants and antibiotics.  That has come to bother me more and more vs. farms that treat their animals good, or even hunting for your own venison in the wild.

What's tough about giving up meat (and fish) completely is having food to eat when you go to restaurants or travel.  Your options become limited, and it requires a lot of planning as well as being able to cook really well.  That is key for being vegetarian in terms of being able to make food that is appetizing consistently.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be vegetarian, probably not completely but I can see myself continuing to decrease how much meat I eat.  And I used to be a fucking carnivore.

286  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: June 30, 2017, 09:03:32 PM
Yes. Bitcoin helps people to work or earn even we're at home, so it reduces unemployment. For example is a mother who can't leave their baby so she can work and earn money through bitcoin without leaving her baby
Bitcoin is one of the blessings for the unemployed people, it is  a platform which offers a easy going process of earning money, day by day Bitcoin is becoming a profitable and credible currency across the unemployed people. Many jobless people can earn money from Bitcoin.
I agree with you, when I know Bitcoin and Bitcointalk Forum, it helps me improve my life and create for me a stable job can earning money everytime. In present, I use my time for do job in Bitcoin more than time I relax and play game, because I was "addicted" to it
Strong earnings from signatures you don't change your life. How much can you earn? The chat forum may help you to understand the problem or to expand your knowledge of cryptocurrency, but to make a living you will have to find another place.

Depends on where in the world you live and what the cost of living is there.  In a "developed" nation, earnings from signature campaigns aren't going to be significant, however in "undeveloped" places it can be.  I've traveled to places where people earn under $200 a month from a full time job, which covers their cost of living.  In those particular situations, the signature campaign can be a game changer, and you can pretty much quit the job to do this instead.  The only thing is you're subject to the price volatility of Bitcoin vs. the national fiat currency.

Everything around us, including us are proof that God exists. God created everything even human beings on His own image. The light, the darkness, the earth, everything. He crafted it in His own hands, perfectly and magnificently. Please read the bible: Genesis.

Just the fact that you think that God has hands is  enough proof that you created God in your own image.

I like the idea that Philippines will be drug free. For us to attain this, all Filipinos should participate and cooperate in this campaign. It will be for the betterment of our country. If our country will be drug free, there will be less or no crimes. Statistics shows that most people committing crimes are using illegal drugs.

Please show us where you found that statistic  Smiley

Your country will never be drug free.  Don't you guys learn anything from the repeated attempts on prohibiting anything which becomes a failure?  From alcohol to drugs to weapons.  There is not one that has been successful, and past attempts have only made the problem worse.

You're living in an imaginary world where the government sets the law and everyone obeys.  Not a realistic view.

As soon as you prohibit something, the price will skyrocket and a black market will start.  Black market is a result of prohibition.
289  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Renewable Energy on: June 30, 2017, 05:01:26 PM
All this will be possible when America sell all their reserves of fossil energy sources. The implementation of clean energy sources hindered the oil lobby, but it seems they are no longer able to stop the progress. What Americans sell their stocks this is a good sign for all of us.

Given that America imports oil as well, it will be decades before we get to that point.  Lobbying in general is pushing a product or service that people would otherwise not choose, otherwise lobbying wouldn't be necessary.  Until the government, or the system that the government operates under changes its priorities, it will be as it is now, up to the individual (or company) to take the initiative and put up funds to invest in renewable energy.  And although it's a good start to get things changing, those individuals currently make up a very small % of the population.  Society as a whole needs to push for this for it to be implemented with scale.

Drugs consume our bodies and are addictive, and will make us poor and seriously affect our lives, so we should stay away from him.

Should is the main word there, as in it's your recommendation.  But adults should have the liberty to decide what they do and do not put into their bodies.  Going against your recommendation shouldn't make one end up in prison.

I'd also recommend that you don't eat 500g of sugar per day, or not to eat 15 cheeseburgers per day.  But at the end of the day you have the freedom to make that decision for yourself, and won't end up in prison either way.  Wink

Same-sex marriage does not make any sense. Marriage is the union of man and woman. Hence "same-sex union of man and woman" does not make sense, man and woman are different sexes. Politicians have no business changing the definition of any words in the dictionary. As usual politicians like to stir up trouble and get society to fight among each other so they can tax more to solve the problems that they created.

A simple solution is to create two new words. One word that says "union of man and man" and another word that says "union of woman and woman." No fighting necessary.

As for adoption by gay people. A big no. Gay people can not procreate, simple as that. A straight couple splitting up, the child tend to stay with the mother on that basis that mother knows best. SO how can two blokes adopt? Researches showed that single parenting is terrible and created havoc in society and the welfare system. Children brought up by straight couple for the duration of their childhood are more balance and well behaved, due to having both mother and father inputs. Children who don't have a dad or mum tend to be problematic. So gay couple should not adopt or use any other means to have a child at all.

Since few gay couple have had children there is not enough data to make any meaningful study to the long-term effect. However we can look at single parenting and extrapolate the effects. However recently a gay couple had two grown up children adopted in the late 1990s. One hated their so-called dads and hated the fact they never had a mother. I expect more of that in the future.

I am very very happy to have a great family of mum and dad, sisters and brothers, and so on, and no loony leftie degenerate in my upbringing. I would not deny any innocent child the same pleasure that i had. Putting any child with gay couple just to satisfy their dogma and political correctness is child abuse.

What is the impact to your life if gay marriage is legal vs. illegal?

What is the impact to your life if gay couples adopt children after being vetted?

There is no impact, and you have no authority to change anything.  So why try to control the lives of other people when it makes no difference to you?

Simple a matter of English language standard.

Not talking about my life but the life of an innocent child.

The word "impact" is irrelevant. I didn't use it. Who has authority? You, politicians, gay people? What about the child's natural rights to natural life free from harm. Who then speaks for the child? You are an idiot. You think it is about me. It isn't, it is about the child. Who then has the right to exercise control over a child well-being, since a child does not have sufficient intellect to take control?

Excellent colour coding.

I definitely don't have any authority.  Gay people don't have authority either.  Government does have authority and controls your freedom.

So you think that every gay parent is terrible and every straight parent is amazing?  I could ask you what about the child's right to having a natural life that is free from harm with straight parents?  Do you not know children that were abused by their parents who are straight?  Don't you know kids that turned into sociopaths with straight parents?  You do know that serial killers have straight parents right?  Why aren't you standing up for those children?  Seems like you care so much about the kids right?  Not just homophobic?

I think every gay parent is terrible because being gay is a fatal disease which cannot be cured. Every straight parent I am not saying is perfect but surely is better suited to raise a child rather than a gay parent. Here in Italy is being done a lot in favor of the gays but I spit on them, the worst cancer of our society. Cancer needs to be cured. I am totally against same sex marriage.

Fatal disease is probably not the right term to use lol.  It's definitely not fatal.  What have gay people done to you for you to despise them?  What if you have a child that is gay?  Is it every gay person's obligation to pretend to be straight to satisfy your personal desire of having 100% straight society?  If so, are you willing to pretend for some other ignorant person that doesn't accept you?  And if you're not willing to pretend for strangers, then it shouldn't be expected for anyone to pretend for you.

I don't believe world poverty can be ended until we abandon the capitalist mindset. The whole point of capitalism is that there are poor people. Bitcoin is just a value distribution system. It is a good system but still follows the capitalist mindset. If you want to end world poverty you need to adopt some sort of forced socialist system where wealth is redistributed to an extreme degree.

I agree with that.  A socialist system with access to basic needs (food, water, shelter).  But the system is managed by the elite, who desire to keep and grow their extreme wealth while other people starve.
295  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin End World Poverty? on: June 29, 2017, 03:29:16 PM
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency in other word a money in the internet world, it's not connected into poverty eventhough you're in poor country and have a lot of bitcoins you cannot end poverty with just having a lot of bitcoin. Bitcoin has no magic that if you have it in your country the poverty will be gone. Maybe if it's a oil maybe if you have a lot of oil in your country poverty will be gone.
Big mistake to think so. Look at the situation in Venezuela. There's a lot of oil, but it does not help the people of this country to overcome poverty. There now there are even food riots. Bitcoin in the future could give the opportunity to earn money in another country where the income level is higher and it will really allow you to overcome poverty.

Also the wealth that comes from selling oil usually doesn't spread to the people.  It stays with the elite and if anything may make poverty even worse for the common man.  Oil doesn't come without corruption and special interests.

I think it depends on the situation. Bitcoin can only end the poverty of those who know bitcoin, but those who don't know anything about bitcoin, they are always in poverty in their entire life like in some places were technology have no room.

I think so, bitcoin is for those who are interested in Bitcoin. Those people who focused in bitcoin is no poverty. They are able to self-reliance because he/she can support itself by bitcoin. Poverty exists because of the different types of people. Laziness is the number one reason why poverty exists. People who have perseverance itself is the one who succeeds.

Poverty is not based primarily on laziness.  You think there are entire neighbourhoods, towns, cities or countries that suffer from being lazy?  Poverty has a lot to do with luck in terms of where in the world you're born and what you're exposed to.  Without proper exposure to financial independence, it's very difficult to achieve that when no one around you is achieving it.

Bitcoin is just a currency, and IMO no easier to obtain than fiat.  Just because there is interest in Bitcoin, doesn't mean it can automatically be generated in a way to support yourself.

The government must do something concrete law that will regulate the use of toxic and harmful substances by some factories. The government must also focus in investing clean energy programs and zero carbon machine operations, these options will lessen and maybe prevent global warming as well. We can't save our planet from destruction unless we are doing something to prolong its life.

The main priority of government is to keep a job...everything else is second to that.  All the things that you mentioned should already be done, but it's the government getting in the way and looking out for special interest groups instead (groups that given the choice, people would rather not do business with).

In the of vastly climate change, renewable energy would be a good platform for mitigating this problem, renewable energy can serve us source of energy but this type of energy is not sufficient for us.
So renewable energy should be developed more and storage capacity should be developed.
Who told you that? Renewable energy is completely sufficient, but it's much more expensive to produce. That is why governments like to avoid it or dedicate only a small percent of power production to renewables to act like they care.
Renewable energy is for instance water, and you can build several dams on a single river and produce plenty of power. The only problem is cost.
Thats the bad side of renewable energy, the cost of dams the machinery and the plataforms for the production of energy by using the movements of engines propulse by water are huge, besides not every country have a river capable to do this kind of proyect.
That's why there are different types of renewable energy, the best thing I think is for the solar powered panels. Definitely, they can help power up the grid if given a chance to serve its purpose. It also depends on the country, that's why there are different designs also.

It's just not a priority for the world as a whole.  It's not even about the monetary cost.  The current energy companies are so deeply embedded into politics, that the opportunity for mass renewable energy gets very low on the list.  The US spends $700 billion a year on military....that's a higher priority than having renewable energy.  The technological constraint doesn't exist anymore.

We are depending on people like Elon, to make it his personal priority to get the needle moving.  There needs to be way more billionaires that share the same attitude.
I guess so, it's just not everybodys interest however there are a lot of countries funding those researches that can be of help to the society as a whole, scientists also depend on that. Definitely it's a part of our world, and saying that energy companies are in politics, I agree with that. It's all about the money right there, they wouldn't stop because they are earning from it, never cares about who gets stepped on.

In terms of research, the technology that currently exists for solar panels and batteries is more than good enough.  But society as a whole doesn't move in that direction, only individuals do.  So it's a very slow movement.  Think about cell phones.  This was a very fast movement that the whole world got behind.  Nothing really stood in its way.  The technology was created and constantly improved, and distributed all over the world.  That type of movement isn't there for solar.  And the current interests in energy don't want to give up the control, power and money to decentralize energy into individuals having their own electricity with no dependence.

Our energy companies are "crown" corporations, meaning they are partly government organizations.  These organizations aren't open to the idea that one day they SHOULD be obsolete and replaced with either solar, geothermal, wind, hydro, etc. renewable energy.
