Are you implying Gabe can foresee the future?

Up to 73% of all fake statistics could be fabrications.   

I don't know if there's a source for that, but apparently 4/5ths of Americans believe angels exist

Kinda old, so maybe that stat has changed

Music...mixed with industry.

Isn't that the exact opposite of where you would want to take music?  But I suppose, in our economy, if you can make money from it, there's no incentive not to.    I mean, it's great that musicians are making money from music.  The problem is, they can only make one kind of music, using the same batch of chords, in the same general time frame (2 minutes to 5 minutes, max 7 minutes), can't be too complex, probably needs some lyrics so people can sing along.  Otherwise, you won't be making much, and you damn well won't get any exposure, even when you're the next Mozart or Lennon.

Which is all fine and dandy, except when you don't like that one kind of music.  So what gives?  Why are so many people buying into the same rehashed song, and why is there such a divide between said song and every other artist who actually explores the spectrum of music?  Is there really something incredible about will.i.am, or GaGa, or Swift?  Beats me.  Whatever it is, I can't find it, but everyone else seems to click with it, whatever it is.

Any idea if Bitcoin will reshape the industry?  Or are we gonna see a rehash of that one pop song over and over until everyone has ear cancer and dies?

Also, here's a weird song for your listening displeasure, if you ever need to cleanse yourself of popular music

Black Eye/Burnt Thumb - Metronomy

Let's just all agree that religion was the original science and move on

Hold me! 

I believe there's already a website for amazon gift codes.  However, it only works for amazon.com, not any of its other sites.

http://btcbuy.info/  This should be it.  I haven't used it yet, so I can't give it an aye or nay.

It would be good business to use BTC with other currencies, simply because not everyone uses BTC.

I don't care about money.  I just want enough so I can stop worrying about it and move on with my life.

I can't decide, and there's no maybe button 

Gonna have to agree with the replies before me, easiest way to stop Apple is to stop using Apple products.  They overcharge just to tell you what they think you should do with your phone.  And if you disagree, too bad.  Apple's word is law, and their TOS is the holy bible.

Ahh I see what you mean; that's what wasn't clicking.  The popular image for the 'missing link' shows human beings evolving linearly.  However, it actually looks more like a tree, with many different versions of us side by side.

It could've been possible to have two versions of us existing today    Learn something new every day!

But Rob, it's not that they can't explain it, it's that they're still trying, and still researching.  Even if they have to scrap their previous theories, it doesn't mean they'll never figure it out.  The only way that would happen is if everyone accepted things as they are and never questioned why.  There will always be someone who says, "No, it's impossible, don't even bother."  But he's no wiser than the next guy for it.  At least the scientist can say he tried, and can confirm that is in, in fact, impossible--or better yet, prove that it isn't.

I'll agree with you there, all theories are theories, and sometimes they have many parts which are hard to connect.  Newer theories overtake older theories, and science chugs onward.  But I feel some theories, like the theory of evolution, make more sense than other theories, like the theory of creation.  Even Newton's laws, which are taught in all schools by now, are still just theories--and even his are being overtaken by others (which sadly aren't being taught or acknowledged, but that's another story.)

The difference being, anyone can test the theory of evolution, and create a new, more improved theory.  The theory of creation, however, is not only extremely old, but designed to be absolute and untouchable, or, due to its method of inception, 'sacred.'  If nothing else, I cannot agree with a theory which does not allow itself changes.  Ideas evolve, and they always will.  Religion pretends not to evolve, and protects its archaic theories to death.

I refuse to use other cryptocurrencies simply because I want one of them to get really mainstream.  Right now, Bitcoin is the leader when it comes to popularity, and the more people use Bitcoin, the more things I do with my Bitcoin.

No offense to LTC, it's just, why would I use it if I could use Bitcoin?  There's already only very few things I can buy with it.  A currency needs people using it to become useful.  If only my dog accepts my SunnyCoins, I may as well not even have them.  And yes, my dog has a little dog computer to browse the dogwebs.

On the other hand, if people suddenly started using LTC more than BTC...

At the same time, evolution does not occur in the way you describe.  Cavemen were humans, and slowly evolved into what we are now.  There is no simple caveman/human line you can draw.  As RodeoX described (excellent insight btw, totally forgot about that), at some point in time, someone tried to describe the sun, and the wind, and the moon, and the stars, and thus, all were assigned gods--how else would they describe it?

It could be argued god/God is born from ignorance--which isn't an insult.  People back then really just didn't know, and it wasn't their fault.  It's only an insult nowadays because now we do know what the sun, and the wind, and the moon, and the stars are.  We know what causes floods and what causes lightning.  We know there's no tangible heaven or hell.  It was easy, in the time of early man, to believe such things, because it made more sense than "I dunno."  If nothing else, religion was a stepping stone, a product of man's imagination, the earliest of sciences.  But a couple thousand years later and it's like beating your head on the desk, screaming, "We already figured this stuff out!"

You must admit, this is pretty comical.  A website goes up to support Ron Paul.  Ron Paul himself wants to take it away.

I guess I can see it fairly from both sides.  You don't take a guy's name and expect him to just be cool about it.  However, it was done only to support him and everything he did.  If it were me, I'd probably just let them keep it.  They're working for me for free, after all.

I'd rather the American real estate industry be reformed first, before bothering with payments in Bitcoin.  My mortgage keeps going up and I'm gonna punch someone in the face, because they know I'll eventually be unable to afford it.  Then I'll foreclose, they'll sell it to another sucker, and the money keeps on flowing.

With that aside, a title company seems the best way to go.  At least until Bitcoin is as widely known as the dollar.

Someone alert Merriam-Webster, pronto.

Very good point.  If I said my God was a bar of soap I carved into the image of Bill Cosby, you'd have a hard time telling me it didn't exist.  If I said my God was all energy to exist in the universe, it'd be a little more tangible, even then.

However, as God is described in the popular religions, there are too many contradictions which need to be addressed.  They chose Gods which were too OP and totally unbelievable, like the characters in Twilight.  Not Bella, but she had the personality of a desk.  This would essentially require a rewriting of the various Bibles.  To fill in the plot holes    Which could never happen, as they are sacred.
