It is a metaphor. Think about it. If you know different shapes of moon and how old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk looks, you will understand. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) FFS, please decide whether you want to play your 'miracle' cards as "amazing science facts nobody could have known about at the time" and "Hey, lighten up, it's just a metaphor, it has meaning and depth and . . .[insert equally vapid nonsense here]" You can't have it both ways. Either you are presenting 'miracles' of there being scientifically-sound assertions within that book or you're wanting to discuss metaphors and poetry, which isn't the topic of this thread. Do you know what intellectual integrity means? Serious question. Can I ask you , where is the problem if someone think those things are a miracle because they are written a lot of years before " the civilization[/in]". Everyone's free to believe at whatever he wants or am I wrong? The only things he should not it is to force other people to believe to those things.

If someone in the default trust abuses the trust, they would get removed immediately.
Unless your name is Vod, or one of a handful of other buddies that get constant passes. If Vod really abused the trust system I think he would have already been removed from the defaultTrust list, but it seems this is not the case.

News: The shootings have stirred debate across the country about police conduct and race relations, also drawing into the discussion President Barack Obama, who an aide said has seen the Scott video. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice are investigating Scott's shooting, which has drawn strong reaction from political leaders and on social media. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, along with U.S. Senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott, all Republicans, decried the shooting, with both senators releasing statements calling the video "horrific." http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/04/09/us-usa-south-carolina-shooting-idUSKBN0MY28220150409

And what do you suggest to stop this? Anyone could do this behavior on any type of auctions - ebay etc but there's nothing that can really be done about it nor is it the staff's problem to police.
Well, ebay is a very different case so I don't think that I should comment on that one. As of my suggestion, newbies (and maybe Jr. Members too) could only post new topics on the board, and not reply with bids. This way users wouldn't create new accounts just to boost their auction. Furthermore, some IP restrictions could also work. I know that this is easily bypassed but it's easily implemented and surely better than nothing. Then it will be a sort of discrimination to "honest" jr. member and newbie users, as I have read in the past there is nothing that the staff of bitcointalk can do for resolve at all this problem. For the question of IP there are a lot of proxy,vpn and also TOR so in my honest opinion a sort of IP restriction will not resolve the problem.

36:38 - And the sun runs his course for a period determined for him: that is the decree of (Him), the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing.
36:39 - And the Moon,- We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date-stalk.
36:40 - It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
These tells about day and night and also tells that they are travelling through it's own path.
These are interesting Quran verses, then who "wrote" them knew all these things before other. Then I think this is really awesome, and also a prove that the quran is not only a book but a really "knowledge" of everything.

We should analyze the word 'terrorism'. Everyone who provide terror (a real terror) to a group of person with a weapon, knife etcetera ... By the definition is a terrorist, now the history can speak itself because not all the Muslim are terrorist and not all the terrorist are muslim. I think it's wrong to link the word Islam to the word terrorism, can you explain to us why aren't all the muslim terrorists?
Thanks for your input. Was the last questions to me? I didn't get you correctly. I should prove all muslims aren't terrorist? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) No, it is not only for you but for all who "watching" this thread. They should prove that all the muslim are terrorists and why the most victim of those attacks are muslims. I really can't understand this theory because I have a lot of friends from numerous Religion (jewish, muslim, hinduism,Sikhism and christianity) and none of them is a terrorist.

I suggest you to read this interesting article: After the Charlie Hebdo attack, a Paris imam went to the scene and condemned the murders. "These victims are martyrs, and I shall pray for them with all my heart," said Hassen Chalghoumi (above). He was also quoted as saying that 95% of victims of terrorism are Muslim. How accurate is this statistic? The claim is similar to one in a 2011 report by the US government's National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC), which said: "In cases where the religious affiliation of terrorism casualties could be determined, Muslims suffered between 82 and 97% of terrorism-related fatalities over the past five years."http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30883058I think your point is invalid, if the most victims of terrorist attack (all) are muslim this is really no sense. A muslim attack another muslim in name o a God (Allah)... this is really no sense.

It's quite ridiculous how easy it is for users to inflate the price of their own auctions. Kind of defeats the purpose of the board. What do you think?
I think it's normal, because alt account or multiple account aren't against the forum rules so if someone want to bid in his own action to increase the price, he is free to do it (but if he will catch by a default trust member I'm sure he will receive a negative trust) and that's all.

=snip=
you just put a backup of your wallet there, for security purpose
Maybe you didn't phrase this correctly. If yes, please correct it. This may confuse other users. A back up in a place never will be a cold storage. What you store in cold storage must not be in a hot/online storage. If yes, then there isn't a need for cold storage because cold storage is protect your Bitcoins from hackings and all but if you store this in a hot/online wallet, private keys are already exposed to danger. actually i store both, a backup and a different wallet in a cold storage, the first even if you use it in a wallet(low amount) you need a copy of it anyway, your hdd could have be damage one day or other accident, the second with more bitcoin, which it isn't shared with the hot wallet, as you said But a real cold wallet must be never connected on Internet and especially their copy/buckup should be never exposed outside from that "offline machine". The cold wallet question bring to my mind the Bter cone 'hack', they have said someone stolen 7'000 bitcoin from their cold storage but the unique way for hack and stole those Bitcoins was to be physically in front of that machine/device. Remember if you expose a cold wallet online also for 1 minute you can't continue to name it 'cold'

Islam doesn't hate people, its the person who hates other people who has a different religion.
Do are you saying it is not a problem related with the religion but most probable a problem related with the person itself? I don't think it will be possible to understand, because a lot of people here are thinking "Islam=terrorism". Yes, you are right. They think Islam tells to be a terrorist but Islam doesn't tell it. I don't have any sort of Oracle skill, so I can't say better. Plain English sometimes are a little hard to swallow and/or to digest. I have told many times Islam doesn't say to be a terrorist but still they give news saying muslims killed x people. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) Then can you tell us all why Terrorist are always identifying with the Islamic Faith, and Jihad? I find it peculiar why no muslim can answer us why they do this. I think you are lying. I have read excerpts from the Quran, and the stated goal is for Islam to be the faith of all people on the planet. Sounds sinister to me. We should analyze the word 'terrorism'. Everyone who provide terror (a real terror) to a group of person with a weapon, knife etcetera ... By the definition is a terrorist, now the history can speak itself because not all the Muslim are terrorist and not all the terrorist are muslim. I think it's wrong to link the word Islam to the word terrorism, can you explain to us why aren't all the muslim terrorists?

According to him I owe him 32BTC. This is a false scam accusation, and if he wants to defend himself, kindly post a TxID of the 32BTC transaction. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FNlawFBh.png&t=665&c=EUHDmmp8w4iA7g) The feedback is untrusted and also I dont think that would be a matter because your account is tainted with alot of red trust from reputable member, so an extra red trust is not going to hurt, plus, the trust is moderated, so if someone make a risket btc of 1000 btc, it will be his choice I think you wanted to say the same thing that I said previously, the trust system isn't moderated by the staff and only who left you the negative trust has the right/power to remove it (but in certain case of trust spam, theymos can remove those trusts).

Unfortunately Hamas is more of a organized crime organization. They earn money with what they are doing. Similar to ISIS. There are enough stupid persons who donate to those guys because they think its the right thing to do.
Hamas receives funding from rich Arab businessman and sympathizers in the larger Muslim world. But they misuse these funds by firing rockets to Israeli villages, rather than using it to feed the starving Palestinian children. Right. But if they would use it for food then they wouldnt get so much money anymore. I think they get most of the money because they do what they do. Hamas is some group who is connected to Muslim Brotherhood and funded by them too. At least as far as i know. There is no historical evidence that the arabs there respond to concessions with anything but hatred and violence. If palestine becomes a recognized state, they'll do the same thing they're doing now. Fire rockets into Israel and have plays in which preschoolers pretend to behead Jews while chanting Islamic slogans.
I wanted to write that youre a racist because you write "the arabs" do this. Since you clearly know its individuals who decide what they do. So saying "the arabs" there are this way is exactly as stupid as being proud to be born white. You didnt do anything to achieve this. And the same way youre a racist if you put all "arabs there" into the same box. I say "die in a fire" with a purpose. Near the end of WW2 the Allies fire bombed Dresden. Many modern Neo-Nazis use this as evidence that the Allies were just as bad as the Nazis. My only problem with the fire bombing of Dresden is not enough fucking Nazis died in a fire, but hey, maybe I'm in a minority on that here. I'm sure the Nazis on this thread can give a different perspective.
And here i realized what you are. A simple anti german. And i doubt you somehow got this way outside of germany. Explaination to the ones that didnt meet one. Its some group of radicals in germany who see the world simply black and white. You say the same things they say or you are a nazi. Be prepared that everyone will be a nazi who doesnt say that he is right on everything. Thats how they work. Those persons once infiltrated the german Pirate party and made big damage because they did want to do their own thing and misuse the pirate party as vehicle. They were practically thrown out when their leaders were voted out. But the pirate party is still recovering from them. And this dresden shit... thats one of those incidents. An anti german girl, who was part of the pirate party, showed their bare breasts to a nazi demo with the slogan "Do it again bomber harris". Bomber Harris was the person who bomded Dresden. Of course only anti german logic can comprehend why its fine to blame all citizens of german to be nazis. Probably because they are germans, you know... anti german. There died enough children or persons who did not like the nazis. But, like i said, the world is black and white for anti germans. I doubt i will discuss with this person since i already lost enough time with that type of racist scums. You wont convince them in their own bubble of the view to the world. If you like then you can observe the working of these persons. Might even be that he calls his friends claiming here are nazis. You know... everyone who isnt thinking exactly as them is a nazi. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I will set him on ignore simply. Thanks for your useful post and I hope (that now) J. J. Phillips understood that in this thread we aren't talking about Arab (Muslim & not) and Jewish. I've opened this thread only to see what are the people (in this forum) thinking about the general Palestine and israel situation.

C'mon you (both) are acting like a kid, but I haven't the right to judge you. However the trust system isn't moderated so only him can remove/change the negative trust.

Maybe we could use new banners / sigs. Maybe somebody can design better / less "eye-hurting" bit-x banner. I am paid for them and I don't complain, but others seem to start blocking signatures, and from what I see bit-x is one of the most important targets.
I've designed 2 new signatures for seniors/heroes for when the new campaign launches! Sounds awesome, will the signature on your sig right now be one of them? Your signature designer is very good. Bitcointalk should add signature images in the new forum software, could make things alot easier. Also you should add a ?ref=btc on the URL in the signatures for analytical reasons. You can see what kind of traffic you are getting from direct signature clicks. I am the signature designer ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Thanks! News about the avatar campaign? Do you know the "rates" or not? I think you will pay (if the avatar campaign) the same rate for everyone because full member, sr and hero can put the same avatar so there is not any difference. I'm also interested to know their 'thought' about a possible avatar campaign. @marcotheminer, can you give us a rapid and essential report? Thanks for the attention.
