It might be a shop that sells classic guns which are not in working condition.

The current legislation in EU permit to buy such items from various countries and easily make a working
Kalashnikov.
Check Slovakian and German AK.
This item is legal in EU and banned in USA:



Please prove your points. I'm pretty sure that it's absolutely not allowed in France for example. And in fact I don't see in which EU country it could be allowed...

And what will they do with their 1.3 billions of soldier against a few thousands nuclear heads?

Using nukes against a combined force of China and Russia? That will be suicidal. USA + France + United Kingdom + Israel + Pakistan is in the possession of close to 6,000 nuclear warheads. The most powerful nuclear weapon ever built (Tsar Bomba) was capable of incinerating everything within 100 km of its radius. That gives a maximum effective surface area of 30,000 sq.km per weapon.

Now the question is how many of these nukes the NATO will be able to use in a relatively short time (say 4 to 6 hours). Even if they manage to use all the 6,000 weapons, only around 1% or 2% are likely to land in Russia / China, as the air-defenses are very advanced. That means that around 10% of the surface area of Russia / China will be devoid of life. That might kill at the most 50% of their soldiers. But the remaining 50% will use nukes on the NATO nations, completely exterminating the life there.

Each time I think you can't say anything more stupid or flawed you keep going.

Please explain the point of air-defenses against nuclear weapons?

Seems like no one really care about a real debate here but well...

Europe is the only winner of a potential WW3 as long as you see it. You can take it in any way you want, it's gonna be EU master at the end.

Pope should not attack Trump. Trump has big chance to be the next President of America. Pope would be needing Trump help once ISIS surrounded Vatican.

Lol..... Once ISIS conquers Rome and Vatican, the Pope will cut a deal with the ISIS and convert to Islam. This guy only bothers about money and influence. He never cares about the 1 billion+ adherents, who believe in Roman Catholicism.

ISIS will never conquer the Vatican. Russia will make them disappear before they ever do anything. However, I wouldn't be surprised by a bomb attack there, real or faked Roll Eyes...

Yes, the idea of Muslims capturing Rome/Vatican City is farfetched. It's as likely as Muslims capturing Constantinople (Second Rome).

Wait.

Muslims capturing Rome would mean France tolerating a Muslim invaded neighboor while having nuclear power.

Seems really impossible to me Wink

Yes, the idea of Muslims capturing Rome/Vatican City is farfetched. It's as likely as Muslims capturing Constantinople (Second Rome).

The ISIS will probably use demographic Jihad to conquer Western Europe, by creating immigrant influx from the Middle East. By 2050, at least a few of the Western European nations will be Muslim majority. Already a few of them are 10% to 20% Muslim.

That said, Italy is less than 5% Muslim right now. And the rate of increase of the Muslim population is quite low, when compared to that in the other countries such as France and Germany. Still... we can't predict the future.

Funny how you keep spreading false informations backed by nothing.

France is the highest Muslim country in Europe with 8% Muslims.
So no, it's not "a few of them are 10% to 20% Muslim."

But keep writing false data, seems like nobody really cares about what's true or false on this forum.

What a harsh discussion?

The discussion is harsh in the same way that if somebody came on these forums and exclaimed "Why Nazism is the Key!", I would denounce it and laugh them out of the room.

It's disgusting. And trying to claim that we're really just confusing Socialism with Communism shows the OP and many others on this thread have no idea regarding the moral philosophy behind their theories.



Oh yeah! How horrible is the moral of socialism!!!

Here is the moral and the base of socialism:
-All citizens should have access to the basic needs which are food, education and healthcare.
-All citizens should have equal chance of success (which means for example that the schools of high education have to make anonymous selections)
-The successful citizens and companies should pay a bit more in order to redistribute the wealth and be sure that inequalites in society do not grow bigger and bigger

Please explain me how it's similar to nazism.
3248  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Socialism is the key on: February 29, 2016, 12:00:48 PM
You're in favor of free markets? So you're in favor of one company ruling the world then?

Yes I'm in favor of FREE markets. FREE meaning that there is not a government body that can be hijacked and used to grant and maintain monopolies. All of the things which lead to monopolies in a capitalist system are entirely due to government.

If you'll read any of the material I linked to, you would start to understand what ALL government is. I don't care if you want to call it Socialism, Communism, Fascism, etc. Those are bullshit ideals that all stem from the same fundamental belief. The belief that the use of coercion is morally acceptable. Socialism is a forced redistribution of wealth through various methods such as taxation, tariffs, and subsidies. It violates private property (your right to the products of your labor) in the same way that all government does.

Now please go ahead and explain how one company (without using government) would rule the world.


It's incredibly easy and it's already happening!

Look at Google! Look at the food industry!!
If government does nothing, then one company (the best) will get bigger and bigger. Then it will slowly absorb any concurrent company or destroy it! In a FREE market as you say, the best company will continue to grow until nobody can get it down. And then it will have a complete and absolute monopoly.

The food industry is currently only 6 companies when it was still hundreds if not thousands only a few decades ago. American banks were dozens, now only 5 of them control everything.

Free market has only one consequence: concentration of power and wealth in a few companies. The richest get richer, the poorest get poorer.

If you don't mind living in something like this, go on and live your American dream.
3249  Economy / Economics / Re: Why Socialism is the key on: February 29, 2016, 11:53:15 AM
You are the one who apparently doesn't know what socialism is.  I never said it was communism, but communism is an extreme version of socialism.  You don't understand what a free market is or what capitalism has done for you.  Where was the automobile invented?  Where was the computer invented?  Where was the telephone invented?  On and on it goes, these are the result of free enterprise not government controlled entities.  I do not want to be forced to "pay my fair share", because that is what socialism is about.  It takes away all incentive to become successful.  I have to pay for everyone's education, healthcare, etc?  I should be obligated to take care of me and my children.  If I feel the desire to help others then I can, but should not be forced to do it.  There is a reason that America has been the most inventive and most powerful nation on earth for a years and years, because we aren't a socialist country.  Socialism removes true free enterprise, it will never ever thrive under it.  How many multi billion dollar companies are headquartered in socialist countries?  A few, but most are not.  Because what happens when the government sees a company thriving and they then deem it necessary to control because that would be for the greater good?  I have lived in socialist countries (mexico and spain) and live in the US.  Socialism is not the answer, nor will it ever be.  How many self employed people are there in socialist countries?  According to your statement above, socialist countries are just full of self employed people, which just isn't true.  When you take away the people's free will to take care of others then that is the devil's tool.  America has become more and more socialist and I hate it, it will ruin this great country.

Again you're wrong and don't understand what it's all about.

First you say there are no self employed people or small companies in socialist countries.
Well France is one of the most socialist countries and 99,8% of our companies are small ones (under 20 persons).

Socialism isn't about removing all and any incentive of being successful. It's about being sure that you being successful profits the whole society.

Without socialism what happens? Companies and people being successful gets money. A lot of. Hence they get power, a lot of. Hence they get more money and more power even more easily!
A totally free market can only leads to monopoles! As the best company will grow and grow and absorbs everything!

You wan't to live without "pay my fair share". As you wish. But it's what makes USA one of the most unequal countries in the world. It's why in the USA student get to take 250k$ loan to get educated.

I prefer live in a country where education and healthcare is free for everyone. Which means every children starts with more or less the same chances of success. I don't see what's wrong with that.

Ok I say it for all Americans reading this thread, you all seem to have a problem with that so here it is:

SOCIALISM IS NOT COMMUNISM

If you wanna know the differences just google them. Those two things are incredibly different!

Why are the 2 incredibly different?  Huh
Communism is just an extreme form of socialism.
This site gives a good comparison of the two.

http://www.diffen.com/difference/Communism_vs_Socialism

It's the same thing as saying fascism is an extreme form of patriotism  Tongue

Communism: Everyone gets exactly the same thing. No personnal entrepreneurship is allowed. State owns everything.
Socialism: Parts of profits are distributed to the population in order to prevent capital and companies to own everything in the end. Basic needs of every one such as food and education are taken in charge by the state in order to make everyone starts in life with similar chances.

They're NOT the same. In socialism personnal entrepreneurship is completely encouraged!

billboards nationwide if not global, THE TRUTH IT IS ILLEGAL TO USE A LEGAL NAME..... many ways of looking at it, but a name in law is nothing more than that by which something is commonly known, im commonly known as tricky pleased to meet you, now when im forced / coerced into interacting with so called authority figures they always want the name on birth certificate which is your legal name, but if you do not hold a BAR card then you are not qualified to use the legal name.... basically the birth certificate creates a trust in law, of which the guberment hold the trust as their property notice all birth certificates state not to be used as identification, and crown copyright, if you are silly enough to claim to be a legal name, you are claiming to be state owned property which obliges you to respect all legislations of that state, and as you are in breach of copyright you are automatically guilty of a crime (breach of copyright) obvs they cant tell you that as you would just tell all your mates something like what im explaining here, so they stitch you up with some other dumb charge (notice they always charge you a fee of sorts) using a contract known as a bill of exchange, never ever claim to be a legal name, that way they have no authority over you and can not extort revenue from you Wink

school was there to indoctrinate, 1 of the biggest indoctrinations was you are the legal name, daily register etc etc :/


I absolutely didn't understand anything. Maybe I'm dumb.

I have any right to use your legal name if I know it no?
3253  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: February 29, 2016, 11:29:06 AM



Glad to see some blocks not full. As long as some blocks are not totally full it means new tx can go through right? no transaction can be left unconfirmed if there is still place in a block?

It doesn't matter if blocks are full, because they are full of practically zero cost txs, in terms of fees.

What matters is whether a user can transact - and this is definitely the case, if a user includes a fee like 0.01$ (longer confirmation times) to 0.03 0.05$ (very short confirmation times).

Have you noticed that the mempool tends to bloat up massively whenever the price moves $10-$15?

Spam? Dust? Or people desperately trying to move coins to make a trade?

Yeah I was doing exactly like this before.

Now I no longer trade and just try to make guesses without actually trading. Too much desperate illogical stupid moves to win 1$...

After a total loss of BTC0.35261055 I decided to quit playing. This is not the game what I expected it should be good luck with your game and goodbye.

Gambling is all about loosing.

You will lose, statistically. Gambling is about paying to have fun. It's a distraction, it can't be a source of income.
If you were seeing gambling like a profit opportunity, you should move one for sure.

Sorry for the loss. Just please always remember to not gamble more than you can afford to lose. Whilst our house edge is low & all bets are fair and can be proven so, you are betting at a negative expected value. You will tend to lose money in the long run.

None the less, on a brighter note, good job to the 3 people which managed to get over 100 BTC profit this week. Primedice may be down a little over 600 coins over the last 7 days but need not worry - We love seeing winners!

Mouhahaha!

Yeah you love seing winners as long as they come back gambling again ^^

Anyway, no doubt it was a harsh week for primedice to see 3 people able to get over 100btc profits in one week Oo

I believe so that he trying to express his opinion when it comes to this matter. He is just being realistic, this is his belief and anyone can actually express his own thoughts wherein we ,do also exercise our freedom. Not all people may agree to it. But then he forgot that not all people are having the same beliefs which make this an issue..

Problem is not his belief or the fact that he hates gays. We don't care about that, he gets every right to do so.
Problem is he's spreading false information like saying homosexuality isn't natural and animals doesn't do that. Which is false and has always been proven wrong.

If guns helps you to protect yourself, why is the rape rates higher in Texas than in California? Guns are much more numerous and gun legislation is much less important in Texas though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_Texas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_California

Oh and btw, you're all more or less saying that blacks/migrants rape everyone and that gun allow you to defend yourself.

Why has texas a higher rape rates than California while having more guns and a population 83% white? Anyone got an explanation? Want to talk about racial diversity again TECHShare?
