Video could have been better but the conditions some of these animals lived in sucks, eating both plants/animals is largely unavoidable for most of population.  Stay away from mass produced meat where possible imo.  

You're right, many animals (battery chickens come to mind) are bred in very poor conditions, and I don't agree with this. I try to eat free-range and organic meat where possible, to support the practice of better conditions for animals and also because it tastes better.

This is one area where I think a small amount of government intervention could be a good thing - a true free market system would favour the cheapest (and therefore worst) possible living conditions for animals.

Ditto that, I always try and eat organic when I can as well, it'll be better for you as well because they haven't put nasty chemicals in it either or growth hormones and the like, I have noticed a genuine difference in the meat.

Cheesy

Haha these militant veggies are pretty funny. It's natural and healthy for us to eat meat, the canine teeth in my mouth prove it.

Rape is also natural. Doesn't prove anything.

As a man I say this, fuck you.

p.s. Unless their plan is to make it so that we're capable of ingesting rocks and minerals, fuck them too

What's that, a currency market is as risky as trading in another currency market? WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT IT?! At least here we don't use margin like those fuckers in forex do, I think calling it a threat is typical overreaction though, more like a definite risk.

Yeah Cheesy There's this guy I chatted to a bit who buys gemstones in the Thailand market, so like you I'll probably come here first if I want anything particularly exotic so there's definitely a lot of potential here, oh and I spotted cuban cigars at one time though I don't know where that guy has gone.

It was awesome seeing you guys work out those deals woodcollector, well done, not sure how I feel as an artist myself about the Bitcoin currency symbol being art though ;S lol I think it's a waste of good wood to be honest but at least he paid you well for the it. Being able to easily transfer money and import stuff that otherwise would be pretty difficult to do in other currencies is precisely what cryptocurrency was made for, I was wtfing when I saw some guy in africa offering to import rare wood for you.

Nationalization of all secured & unsecured debt, city infrastructure is only a first step on this way.

Government debt and borrowing is what got them into this mess in the first place, that's just a temporary measure that won't solve anything, if I could change the way government worked I would make it illegal for any government employee to take on debt in the name of the taxpayer.

Over what, being healthy? The point of breaking the quarantine was if she really had ebola she wouldn't be able to put on her helmet much less go for a bicycle ride, just shows how ignorant some people are.

Any ideas on where this 20,000 UK Bitcoin users number comes from?

Probably their arses, but there you go, that's how little they know, there's probably a lot more out there than they even realise.
2811  Other / Meta / Re: Who are the most trustworthy Bitcointalk users? on: November 18, 2014, 04:41:11 AM
I agree with the others:  Don't trust anyone.

That spirit is right, but when you engage in a deal, you either have to trust the counter-party or trust a third-party escrow. If the "trust no one" strategy is taken strictly, there will be very little trades in bitcoin.

I actually think that's becoming a genuine problem now because users are so paranoid that they aren't going to even bother taking the risks with people who haven't even had done a successful trade even though they've been here for years ( Like me lol ) I'm not saying of course blindly throw money at them, take proper precautions with escrow services as that's the best way but not everybody out there is a scammer. It's like being afraid of going outside, if you actually take into account all the shit that can happen to you you'd get too scared to go out, but a lot of us don't even bother thinking about that and just do it anyway because otherwise we wouldn't get anything done.

That very thing happened recently with Vod and he warned people about it.

Thanks man, but they don't look too cheap unless I'm looking at the wrong page? I see this which seems to be the cheapest tank at $17 812, but apparently one would have to buy a transporter thing which starts at $8 350, and there are probably other costs too. The most practical solution in OP's case would probably just be to get a lawyer. But yeah, it'd be seriously cool to take one of these bad boys for a ride.

What country were you in again by the way?

There's smaller stuff like BMP's and APC's that are less than $10,000 but they'll still be pretty powerful, the main point is a car will cost stupid amounts of insurance in my country and on top of that even a tiny hatchback is usually above these prices but with these you basically can fit several people in them if you need to.

Also, I'm in the UK so yeah Tongue

buy a tank or some other armoured vehicle which you can drag stuff around really easily with, attach it to the trailer in the middle of the night when they aren't around and drag it out to some deserted wasteland out in the middle of nowhere, they'll get the message, seriously, that's what I'd do, they've invaded your home, the parents are clearly being taken advantage of because they wouldn't be able to fight back easily.

We hear about this kind of shit a lot in the UK and if isn't that we're dealing with it's obnoxious neighbours who just don't care about how loud they are.

>buy a tank or some other armoured vehicle

Reminder that we're talking about real life here, not some bitcoin fantasy land.

You can get ones that are pretty damn cheap actually for what they are and the weirdest part is it's totally legal, even in my country just as long as they're deactivated, so they hate guns but they're totally okay with me driving around in an armoured monstrosity that could demolish a block of flats in a few minutes lol.

Actually that sounds pretty dope. Can you post pics or a vid or something of your tank?

I don't have one yet Sad I know places where you can get them though, if I make a chunk of money I'm probably going to get one, but a nice computer comes first Tongue

The joke is in my country because these are 'collectibles' the insurance is supposed to be cheaper on them, much cheaper, so it would be easier for me to have one of these things than a bloody hatchback, bureaucrats and politicians really are a bunch of morons, I think in the US the laws are a bit tighter but the basic rule just seems to be that you need to declare you imported them so they know about it, it's all surplus stuff and some of it's from the cold war so it's just lying around not being sold because they never had to use any of it against the Russians.

Well she was working with iy and such, If the shoe fits.


The point is she didn't even have ebola it's just media and hyperbole at it yet again trying to cause panic and fear where there is no cause for it, this just confirms my belief that people who deliberately choose to ignore solid science and mathematics are morons, this is the swine flu all over again.

Actually, I think it's precious metals, but to each their own, the reason being is because precious metals tend to easily account for inflation since there a natural resource that's rare.
2818  Economy / Economics / Re: I had a thought today on: November 18, 2014, 02:20:45 AM
Sounds daft but we should measure the value of bitcoins in Big Macs or something like it.  It would give a far clearer picture long term.

Are you talking about the affects of inflation/deflation? Or just joking around? lol Tongue

On a serious note, somebody already did that with the dollar and compared the prices that you got for things like coke, I'd need to dig around to find a proper chart and stuff though.
2819  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: UK government wanting thoughts on digital currencies on: November 18, 2014, 02:06:54 AM
Is this an investigation or a decision?

One of those fact finding missions I think, like the meetings we saw with Canada and America though I doubt these will be public.
