41  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin to be international currency on: March 22, 2017, 06:17:30 PM
It could be pretty usefull to have Bitcoin as an internationnal currency, but I really doubt we will see this in a near future. I think specially about americans that will be jealous, as most of the trades worldwide are done with the US dollar. I know Iran stopped to use the dollar for buying, trading, import, if lot of countries could do the same then yes, we could start to hope to see bitcoin used internationnally..... if and only if... gov, could get a control over it, otherwise it will never happen

Government does not want bitcoin to be international currency for the reason that it is decentralized. That's why a lot of government are putting regulations around it. And yes, the US dollar is the universal currency that is being used globally so I also doubt that bitcoin will be accepted globally. We could just used bitcoin as online payment around the world and I think that is already a milestone for bitcoin already.
I agree. The government does not like Bitcoin at all due to the decentralization while country works on the centralized system. The more you use Bitcoin, the more you independent of the government and the nation.
You forgot to say that the more bitcoin is distributed the less the government will collect taxes and less money from the state.

It is correct to say the consequences of excessive alcohol consumption can have serious consequences. I now drink coffee with cognac and not feel any consequences. The measure should be in everything. When you drink too much water it can also be a problem.

Not that hard to answer the question.

People think of islam when they hear about terrorism cos right now the majority of the terrorism in the world happens because of lunatics who abuse the islam religion.
Things will change, soon or later.

Yes, a large number of terrorists in Islam. Although the Koran does not say anywhere that you need to kill people. Just a low level of education and bad upbringing negatively affect the majority of Muslims.
I disagree with you. If it were as you say that among the terrorists would be a lot of representatives of different religions. We see that it is not. All terrorists are Muslims. I am sure that the problem is Islam. What is written in the Koran I don't know. I'm not interested I'm an atheist.

I believe the defence system is an archived Russian project that has been sold to the Iranians at a low cost, The two nations are forming an alliance with regards to what may happen very soon. Strengthened ties between the two will surely cause problems for Israel and the USA.

You are right in saying that the S-300 is an old version. But it can become very useful for the Iranians. Already the Israelis have abandoned their plans for future airstrikes inside Iran, just because of the presence of these systems.
In fact, there are so many ways to combat the s-300 and s-400 too. If Israel will need, believe me they can easily make their air strikes.

With Trumps new immigration laws , anyone with a moslem name is bound to stopped and searched for a detailed security analysis before they go. It shows how racist the whole thing is.

Dude, this is going on ever since the 9/11, and much before Trump became the president of the United States. There is an old saying in English. It is like this: "What goes around......comes around". Refrain from blowing up people, and no one will detain you.
Is a Russian proverb, but otherwise I support you. On the other hand, maybe Muslim leaders specifically incite hatred of Muslims that they are not out of Muslim countries. They need a lot of soldiers.

The third eye is only a metaphor. So-called imagination. The human brain is capable of much, but mediums and psychics are scammers.

I don't know how in France the situation with gun laws, but in America, such cases occur only because the school is a territory free of weapons. The criminal always knows where he can use weapons, and where you can get shot in the back.

New york was a airliner free zone that is why 9/11 happened  Undecided
It seems to me that 9/11 was going to happen. Someone in America it was profitable. Now Americans can anywhere in the world to fight terrorism.

I believe that the third world war has already started long ago. Only now everyone is so lazy because of technological progress that the war is only on the monitors of computers, televisions and in the headphones of fans of radio.
I agree with you. The third world war has long been coming in the East. People don't want to admit it because they are afraid of losing their way of life.

I have never believed in the encryption of whatsapp or telegram. The agencies with which CIA works has better means to decrypt such communication channels. The only true privacy tool we still have is TOR and even that can be decrypted sometimes.
What are you saying? Who can now believe in privacy. From the CIA database hacked and your whatsapp especially. Relax. Don't break the law and you won't be of interest to intelligence agencies.
51  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Negative effects of technology on: March 11, 2017, 10:55:26 AM
I think that in moderation, technology is a good thing.  I don't really agree that children just sit around on technology, I think that this is an exaggeration of the actual situation as young people are still genuine individuals and don't restrict themselves.
I agree with you. Gadgets do not interfere with the filling of Nightclubs. It seems to me that the lack of interesting alternatives is the reason that people spend more time on the technology.

If bitcoin has released a cash of gold coins, it would be the best and most stable currency in the world. Coins of small denominations can be done interspersed with little bars of gold and very little silver.
53  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Couple arrested in the United Arab Emirates for 'having sex outside marriage' on: March 10, 2017, 02:05:48 PM
that's the problem with going outside your country you don't have any rights to disobeyed the rules coming from the country that you visited, there's no chance for this couple to contest the law from UAE they need to comply if they will be detain or if whatever rules that will be implemented.
For me it's more proof that people from civilized countries don't have to visit Islamic countries. And let migrants from Muslim countries is impossible. We live in different worlds!
54  Other / Politics & Society / Re: No Help from Islamic Nations. on: March 09, 2017, 10:15:51 AM
Turkey isn't an Islamic Repuclic *yet* but it has a muslim majority of +%90 and Turkey has the most refugees at the moment. You should count them in too.

Refugees don't want to live in Saudi Arabia or Qatar anyway. They are after money and white chicks Smiley

Germany get prepared!  Grin

Turkey is benefiting a lot from the Syrian slave labor and that is the only reason why they are hosting so many refugees. There is a construction boom in Turkey, as a result of the cheap labor. Also, many of the Turkish human traffickers became millionaires overnight as a result of the highly lucrative human smuggling business.
Why do you think that the work of Syrians in Turkey a slave? They are paid money for work. If they think that the money is small then it does not work. It is normal market relations. Why pay more if you have the opportunity to pay less?

I doubt this will make any difference, considering how he really can't take criticisms. The only surprising thing is that I haven't seen him going on a "fuck you all!" spree yet. That or I haven't been watching the news. Or maybe they've finally learned. They removed the guy whose name must not be spoken from public appearances. Being confrontational when people are asking clarifications (especially since everyone in the damn palace contradict each other) is not a good approach.

He never listens to anyone. And trust me, he can afford to do that as long as he enjoys widespread popular support. If you remember, he used the same tactics even when he was serving as the Mayor of Davao.
If the people trust him, then he believes that this person will fulfill all the promises and everything that he declared before the elections. As they say, we deserve those rulers whom we have chosen.

One of his major campaign promises was that he will eliminate the drug menace, at any cost. And he is doing exactly that right now. The collateral damage doesn't matter to him, as long as his supporters remain happy with his work.
And who knows satisfied his supporters or not. I understand that they have no one asks. If they are not happy then they will be accused of links with drug trafficking, and the same shot on the street as drug dealers.

Iraq was excluded from the blacklist because the government has introduced additional verification procedures at the border crossing. In addition, improved data exchange between Iraq and the United States. These measures will prevent the infiltration of militants "Islamic state" on American soil.
The Ministry of foreign Affairs of Iraq had responded positively to the decision.
57  Other / Politics & Society / Re: You eat pork you look like pork on: March 08, 2017, 02:10:01 PM
I can not understand the problems that are created around the fact that someone is eating pigs. There are those who eat dogs, cats and even toads and many other animals, but here have made a problem that is not under the soil.
That's not the problem. The problem is that Muslims are very aggressive and not tolerant of people with different faith. They do not consider people infidels. They have them wrong. This kind of reaction of Muslim people who do not share Islam.
58  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Who is stronger the government or the president? on: March 07, 2017, 05:28:29 PM
Sorry not knowing this kind of stuff, its just i wanted to know who's the strong one of them because some of my friend told me that the government is strong because they can decide to impeach the president and also i thought that president is more stronger than the government for that the president is more likely  has a bigger rank of his country.. so i need your opinion on this one and teach me Cheesy

Your question could possibly be more vague  Smiley

In coutries such as Russia or Turkey, president is effectively head of the government aswell, in other euro countries (s)he is merely a figurehead for ceremonial occasions. United States and France fall somewhere inbetween those two extremes.

To be sure, you would have to actually read constituion of said country, as constitution clearly specifies who holds what powers in executive branch.
I disagree with you. The reading of the Constitution will do nothing. In Russia or Ukraine, for example, Parliament is an independent branch of government, but in fact it is not. Especially in Russia. It is a dictatorial country disguised as a democracy.
59  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Iran announces successful test of $800m Russia-built air defence system on: March 07, 2017, 05:24:02 PM
These defense systems have been developed in the USSR. It is the outdated equipment which Russia sells. Such a weapon was armed Iraq and how the Iraqi army was able to resist us? The same thing will happen with Iran.

Umm.. no, Iraq had scuds and to my knowledge no air to air missiles this advanced.

The S-300 can still take out most of the aircraft that their neighbors have. Such as Israel's F16, F15 eagles and other fighter/bombers from that generation.

It may be useless against the new US F22 Raptor since they are stealth but that is still to be determined.


Serial production of the s-300 was launched in 1975. There were of course some modifications, but still this complex is 41 years old! I'm pretty confident that these complexes are not very dangerous to modern aircraft. Also probably during this time we developed weapons of suppression of these systems.

Do you know where serial production of F-15,16,18 had started?  Wink Its not like airplanes got more explosive proof since then.

The fact is that United States never had to oppose enemy force toe-to-toe since Wold War 2. Good for world peace but not a proof of superiority, when you are comparing your best to third world countries.

Messages here are quite telling, that Iran indeed does well investing into its air defense capabilities.
You might have forgotten the war in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, Iraq. Everywhere the American army participated in open confrontation. If you don't count Vietnam, everywhere the Americans won with very little loss.
