I have my signatures enabled because after months spent here I started to ignore them.When I scroll through a topic, my eyes skip the sigs, I don't even notice who has what written in there, I focus on the plain black text of the post. I don't know why some people hate sigs so much, they are mostly a positive addition to the forum.

I found living outside the big city to be very different and relaxing. The technology helps us every day and i have a lot of it at home, including a PC with internet, a phone and many other, but cities have become too industrialized. I'll show you my typical days and compare:
City:
I could hear cars and trucks all night even with closed windows.
Air smells of fumes, so I had to dry clothes inside.
You could hear your neighbors through the walls, if one of them was having a party it was impossible to sleep.
Going anywhere meant an hour in traffic.
Easy to get sick in public transport as people would breath and sneeze all around you.

Country:
All you can hear is birds and wind. No cars, no people.
Air is clean and dried clothes smell great.
If you want to have a party you can do it anytime, nobody's gonna care if you decide to work out at 2 a.m.
No traffic, unless you want to get downtown 
I haven't had even the slightest cold since I moved out of the city. No allergies too.

Why do you have Chinese traditional religion but you don't have a Japanese Shinto? It's a very nice religion full of myths, stories that focuses on spirituality.
It also doesn't force you to do anything, like Christianity and Islam do. You don't have to go to church every sunday or pray facing Mekka
But really no religion is best, an educated person doesn't need to rely on gods to help him live his life.

If he stands up to his words and does everything he promised in the elections, he will surely be reelected. Such politicians are hard to find these days. Usually it's all the same with them. Tell a lot of false promises, get to the chair, sit on it for a couple years, shake a few hands, sign a few documents, take your wage and go. If Trump turns out to be different (and I believe so) he will have even more supporters.

Nobody would ever condone murder as a penalty for corruption in a modern society. Isolation would be a great idea. Such penalties are already used but they are very limited and rarely imposed on politicians.
Such rule applies to teachers, if one is convicted for a major crime he is immediately banned from working in education. Doctors and judges are facing similar penalties if they are found asking for bribes, but these cases are difficult to prove in court unless you have him on camera.
It's funny that one of the most corrupt groups, the politicians, are seldom convicted.

Also with the current climate changes lands around to the equator will become barren wastelands and Africa,, which is already struggling with water shortages will become a desert unable to support life.
I wouldn't worry about overpopulation. People have been preaching doom for years and countries like Russia are offering free land to anyone who would populate their Siberian regions. Still no volunteers.

There's a number of theories in physics. One says that there is one timeline and every change you make in that timeline will impact the future, which means that if you go back to the past and kill your parents you will disappear. The other one says that there are many timelines and you can end up in any of them. This means that if you go back to the past, you may end up in another world, where your parents don't know each other.
This second theory seems to be more probable.

But it's all expensive, imagine having to take viagra in your 40s, nobody would like that. It's better not to overestimate your body and live a healthy life. Alcohol is great in moderation, but getting drunk has a lot of negative sides. It damages brain cells, weakens your body, strains the liver, that's why athletes are told to never get drunk, because it really pushes you back. I read somewhere that for a bodybuilder getting drunk to the point of passing out means nullifying 2 weeks of training.

That's a good choice. It's always very difficult to resist the temptation to bet everything once again and potentially double it, because maybe you're in a lucky streak, maybe it's your day.
You get a large amount of money, that opens a vision of you as a millionaire, sunbathing on a yacht, and it all seems to be within your grasp. Don't get caught in it, withdraw and don't be greedy.

True, the bonuses are made only to lure people. They act like an additional positive fact that you see when choosing the casino.
-that one has great games and this one has great games, that one is reputable and this one is too, that one doesn't offer deposit bonuses though, then I know which one to choose!
That's how it works in our mind, even though the bonuses are very hard to withdraw, we tend to choose casinos that offer them.

There is this funny thing about the whole cloud mining business that it is governed by its own laws. In a normal world when a company is promising profits, but isn't delivering any, just making you donate to the cause they are quickly given an appropriate tag and go bankrupt. Here, people see it as a positive feature, because most companies are fake sites made by thieves, that disappear and appear under a new name couple weeks later. Why are you so drawn to this system?

One thing that hits me is the minimum is 0.2BTC, at the moment it's 230USD, which isn't some pocket money. They don't allow small fish to play and take only serious deposits, but what amazes me is the maximum amount. They are offering such enormous returns and can receive sums like $500k, without breaking a sweat, because right below that they are saying there's no limit and you can make many deposits, so if you send them 3x $500k they claim to be ok with it. To be able to operate on such sums they'd need enormous liquidity, like a large bank at least. IMO they are just greedy and waiting for a big fish to invest and once they gather up a couple of those VIP investors, they will shut it down and fly back to Nigeria.

I'd say the creators did the math and knew this will end up being unprofitable to investors, but they did it anyway. They did what every car seller does, showed their shit on display and hoped it will lure someone with a thick wallet and little knowledge, who won't see it for what it really is: a junk, a waste of money.

I agree with this. Making signatures smaller ( the size full members are allowed to have) for all ranks would make the forum look less like a casino. I understand bright colours below every post can be annoying to some people. Current signatures take a lot of space and limit the number of posts you can fit on screen without scrolling.

If you mean sports betting vs gambling IMO betting is better, because you can predict future performance of a player/ team based on their past performance. This means you have something to hold onto and although the past doesn't necessarily has impact on the future it's better than nothing. In typical casino games you don't have any information and every game is completely different.

Why are you referring to them as "we and you" Are you supporting muslim terrorists?
The difference is that when they bomb an area, they are aiming at armed forces. If civilians get hurt it's collateral damage. When a muslim terrorist plans his attack he wants to kill as many civilians as possible, they don't attack military bases, they prefer to kill the innocent. Also, Europe isn't currently at war with anyone, so how do you justify these acts of terror?

You obviously have never seen war movies. Have you seen London bombings during WWII? They had electricity back then, now it's much easier to run generators than it used to be 80 years ago.
A war would not mean the lack of power, Internet or any other, unless you'd get nuked, but then you wouldn't have to worry about those things anymore

I don't believe in superstition, but it serves a purpose. Superstitious people fall into these daily rituals they perform and feel better when they are allowed to.
For instance some people like to pray before gambling, to me it's like a superstition, because they believe that saying a prayer will somehow help with their luck.

How does the US invasions in the MIddle East justify terrorists attacking Europe? Why don't they go to the US with their jihad, we don't want these scum in the EU!
Also I find a full scale military invasion more fair than terrorist attacks aimed at civilians, performed as a show of force. There's a difference between collateral damage and murder.

That's a dumb reasoning. The same kind that prevention lovers always give. A gun can be used to kill - don't allow people to own guns.
1. A VIP tag doesn't make you trusted.
2. The tag exists and it was made to be purchasable, so whatever a user does with it is his own responsibility.
3. I think an affordable VIP tag would benefit the forum. Hopefully it gets implemented in the new software.
