This is just somebody confirming what most of us already know in the first place, as for the Chinese economy slowing, despite what arrogant Americans believe they are propping up western economies by lending money to us, we're basically scamming them out of their money by giving them worthless treasury bonds and the 'promise' that we'll pay it back within a set period of oh, past their lifetime.

It's the equivalent of me asking you for some money and promising to pay it back after you're dead, the amazing thing is everybody keeps falling for it! As long as people get their free stuff now it's all okay.

To be honest, considering what Europeans do to incompetent heads of state when we get pissed off enough and we do have guns I'm not surprised they won't let us have any or give us a constitution or let us vote on anything important. On the other hand you Americans have more guns than you know what to do with and you're just a bunch of trash talking pussies

Well I'm lucky enough to have a good internet connection here so it's not totally hopeless, even so >_<

I would be fucking giddy if I ever got that much and there's plenty you can do with that amount that the average person could only dream of, it's not filesharing that's the problem, it's them, governments seriously need to throw these scumbags out of court or in jail.

This is me speaking as a soon to be independent artist as well.

I never want Summer back, EVER >_< honestly, I really like winter, think about how hard it is to cool yourself down when it gets really hot, at least in winter all you need to do is turn up the heat a bit if it gets too cold or put more clothes on, plus I always always feel way more comfortable in winter just because I don't have to deal with Tree Pollen too.

It has an entire glossary of definitions of all the programming terms and vocabulary you'll ever find, so if you have a specific question or you want to talk programming with other programmers you'll know what the fuck they're on about and it will let you search for even more resources because you'll know the proper programming terms for what you make.

That sounds a lot like where I live I want to move to a city or area where there are people more my age, especially girls

LOL I kind of expected that kind of response when I was writing it >_<

To be honest, I think school shootings have become the new 9/11 before it was 9/11 that set Americans off really badly but now it seems to be the school shootings because they're more recent.

If I were ever in the tropics I would probably get one of these things lol

Total overkill

1. Introduce a Silver/Gold standard and make paper currency illegal

2. Abolish the Federal Reserve

3. Introduce currency competition

Well it's like with any weapon, in the right hands anything can be deadly, I won't go into details just to show I'm on the side of ordinary people but if you know your pressure points and how the nervous system works there's a shit ton you can do with just a scarf or a BB Gun, people experienced in martial arts will probably know what I'm talking about and can back me up on this.

Yes granted, going up against a gun in any situation is stupid, still doesn't mean you won't have a chance, particularly if the assailant is only armed with a knife or something.

That's what modern politics looks like, we get it here in the UK, instead of trying to actually look at the problem and fix it political parties are more than happy to blame the other side for the problems, usually it's the ones in power they blame and they say "If you re-elect us we'll fix it" then the cycle starts all over again and the public fall for it every fucking time.

Yeah, it would depend on which Anarchism but I thought that would have been obvious

You haven't been shot in the crotch by a paintball gun have you Lurai? It REALLY hurts and I'm speaking from experience, so imagine getting an airsoft gun to the crotch if that's what he's talking about.

Junk coins can be worthwhile but they may well be more difficult to sell, if you're going for small I'd just buy 1 ounce bars or something or even bars that are just a couple of grams, the reason being is because anybody who knows about bullion will know for certain that it's .99 silver and they're not getting ripped off.

In the past governments always messed with the amount of precious metal in coins so they could make more and inflate their currency so be wary of that.

You don't say it to people's faces normally unless of course they're trying to publicly defend their bullshit, but this is what I think whenever I see a 'tragedy' reported by the news, In fact, I think it's proving Darwinism's theory of evolution, when you actually look at what these people are doing and how fucked up the situation is, they're pretty much digging their own graves. Take school shootings for instance ( I know I'm going to get hate for mentioning this but you should know by now not to read my posts if you hate this kind of thing ) yes, it was a terrible thing that happened, I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but this is what happens when you drive an obviously mentally unstable person into a corner, they're going to do something and I suspect that the schools were somehow responsible at least in their minds for triggering the reaction.

The same goes for any other 'accident' when you have someone who's fucking around near a cliff or goes swimming in a known dangerous area, if the person is dumb enough to go and do it the family members shouldn't be blaming other people for the consequences. My best one is when there was this news article about a guy in spain or something doing that bull killing they do over there ( I've totally forgotten the name of it sorry ) and supposedly something went badly wrong and several people got injured or killed.

What kind of a moron do you have to be to piss off a bull in a tightly enclosed space exactly? I just don't have any sympathy for that kind of thing.

pfft, I'm just going to buy a safe, I know how to take care of myself and security

If you can afford to buy it in big chunks then I think it would be worth it, but don't buy it in a small amount otherwise the price rise will barely affect you, silver will most likely follow gold once people find gold too expensive to get. I'm planning on buying several 100 ounce bars myself because they're pretty much dirt cheap right now, to be honest I'm not entirely sure why silver hasn't shot up yet, but I'm going to take advantage of the drop.

I will of course be holding cryptocurrencies as well if you ever buy precious metals be sure to check whether the person you're getting them from is trustworthy or not!

I'd actually argue that it is more veered towards Anarchism than Libertarian because it trusts in a decentralised system of mathematics than government, but it does tend to hold to the characteristics of both ideologies, the thing about Libertarianism is it still wants government, but a highly limited and small government where as Anarchism wants to get rid of it all.

I scored an F in my GSCE maths, if I can understand it and use it, so can they, I suppose if you want to understand the whole code behind it that would be impossible for a normal person including but honestly I think they're exaggerating if they consider the idea of difficulty and mining blocks to be hard to understand. I know the basic theory behind Bitcoin and I know it's open source, that's all I needed in order to make the decision to trust it, some people just clearly either need to do their research or grow a brain.

Basically, this article seems to be a different spin on the same bullshit we've heard since Bitcoin's inception, they'll be saying this crap when it hits $1000 again.
