And how is closing of valuable source of discussion going to solve the fact, that you put your entire self-worth as a human being on your immediate USD/BTC ownership, sir?

From what I could gather, even the best investors are right 50% of the time. The rest are bag holders and gamblers, regardless of the market.

Good point. Last year oldest person passing away was bed-ridden french woman. She was close to 125, I think. Not even year later we have a person, whose relatives claim he was 146... guys, I mean come on  not to rip on the dude, I am sure he lived his life the best he could and had his fair share of stories to tell. But lets not throw fact out of the window just for the sake of story.

Hello CoinCube,

sorry for quoting your text in its entirety, but I think it is not only one of more insightful comments written on importance of Faith in this forum, but also one of best ones in this thread.

I hope everybody here will take a minute or two to read and consider it, regardless, if they believe in God or not.

Thank you.

I miss the option to send you to mental asylum for tonight.

Can you change the polls for me, please? It just might prevent nuclear war in the future.

For Bitcointalk members? Armageddon.

For people in Turkey? Wednesday.

Seriously, you can come here and ask simple question about any country. But dont expect simple and short answer. Turkey has mixed political system arift between Europe and Asia, religion and secularism, traditionalism and modernity. You wont find any simple answers in such places. Just more questions.

Thank you. So research for "private" purposes is possible and lets say that in politically correct place such as France there still something as genuine as mainstream, left or right wing newspaper  

So muslims make up 8% of french population, yes?

Can you then also find some information why 60-70% of imprisoned people in France have muslim beliefs? Do inmates convert en masse while in prison or is muslim population far more likely to clash with law and order?

By the way sociologists mentioned in the article estimated muslim population at around 12% back in 2008... but I guess, thats all we have. Estimates...

Thank you in advance.

It might just mean, that some exchanges are still waiting for their correction. We have seen the same thing couple of days before western exchanges broke old all time high.

We should seek higher volume shake up before picking up steam again.

Keep calm, they are but drunk on over-leveraged positions and momentary profit, youd see how fast most of these guys would vanish, if their golden bull faltered.

Indeed, Bitcoin is not a God, but a tool. Now, entering bubble period. Just look for another thread, there is bazillion tonnes of wishful thinking in this one, depending on if gambler in question is short or long.

In general, you would be right. Bitcoin IS like a large star with a massive gravitational field. When it grows it pulls others with it. In the long term.

In the short term it burns them to crisp as speculators sell their bags to participate in the formation of bubble.

We could observe that clrearly already back in 2013. First in bull market. Then in reverse during bear market. At first altcoins skyrocketed as speculators left bitcoins near apex and bought stashes of alts. Entire cryptocurrecncy market ballooned by then.

However, once it was clear that Bitcoin, the star was in for downwards spiral, all altcoins followed suit, many crashing even harder as their price was so much easier to manipulate.

I couldnt disagree more with your nihilistic outlook.

Where was the last time you were sitting around in your fallout shelter? Right, today people enjoy more safety and comfort than ever before. It wont last forever, but we ought to be thankful for the time we were gifted with in this age.

Neither Trump, nor Putin are insane regardless of what liberal left media tells you. Especially the latter, longer serving one has results in form of vastly improved living standarts in Russian federation during his tenure. If there will be war between US and Russia one day, it wont be on watch of these two.

They are both shrewd bussinesmen, not warlords or cult leaders.

Can I ask you where did you get information about number of muslims in France? Since such research is forbidden by law in France itself.

Unofficial data give around 15% or 9 million people in country of sixty million. It was around 1% just four decades ago. Just interested in your source.

United Nations predict that by 2050 around one in nine Europeans will be muslim - however ignoring the fact, that while places like Poland, Hungary or Ukraine (home to tens of millions) have virtually no muslim population to speak of, in places like France they could reach majority, even without war sweeping legislature towards Sharia law through democratic elections like we are witnessing in Turkey.

I dont think so. We might see a small correction, but the next all time high is well above current price level.

1700-2000 per bitcoin might be in the play.

Huge bombs are an option for men, who can make difference between friend and foe. Great option. But when your own cities turn into battlefields it might not be so easy anymore as we are seeing in Syria today. In fact, nobody can give you guarantee that in such case, bad guys wont take those bombs for themselves. Alas, culture war has more in common with trench warfare, than to Blitzkrieg.

Outbreeding.

What a nasty topic, eh? When you assume that second and third generation immigrants fall into pattern of their surrounding, you are perfectly right.

But we are not talking about immigration here. In multicultural society such as that of France those immigrants fall into patterns of their particular culture. I will not show you data on France, since that country forbade by law gathering and sharing of such information. Thats why support for ISIS came as such a shock for authorities.

This is not Newsweek, so you might rather: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/nov/28/support-isis-stronger-arabic-social-media-europe-us-than-syria

Countries, that are multiethnic, BUT have strong Leitkultur (and thus perspective for stability) do gather such data. However, nowhere do secularists come close to religous people in terms of birthrates. Not in Israel, Russia, United States, China or Turkey. I am not targeting Islam here, Christianity or Hinduism is just as competetive in terms of demographics... and electorate growth as its children mature.

Secularism as Leitmotif, while certainly noble doesnt seem to have lasting impact in competition with dogmatic religions as it is unable to atleast replace its own populations death rates. You could of course argue, that not all Christians or Muslims will observe their faith. Yet, none all secularists will fancy atheism forever either.

This is forecast for planet as whole, so immigration status can be counted out   if you are interested for data on particular country (USA and Russia being the easiest) I can look for you. France is stricly forbidding such research.

Criptix,

point taken, it wasnt clear at first, so thank you for clarification on your stance, friend.

I have shared newsweek precisely for its left liberal bias, so nobody can attack the poll as being "manipulation of xenophobes". Just liberals asking their new neighbours what they think about ISIS.

We have been all worked up about syrian civil conflict in the recent years, but in decade or two, there might be another religious war - this time in formerly western country possesing nuclear warheads and power plants. And it wont be war among immigrants and old timers. Since majority of both radical leftists/communists and islamists are bred domestically already and have french passports.

Why do I care? One thing I hate more than indiscriminate warfare is indiscriminate warfare on my own backyard. No European country (with their already heavily taxed people and overextended welfare systems) will stay intact, if its key country fills sea with blood.

I have no idea how exactly is your information supposed to "rekt" fact that France is slowly spiraling into civil war, because of its failed domestic policies and lost values.

Algeria, Morroco and Tunesia are islamic countries. They been islamized and arabized between eight and eleven century AD.



Dont tell me, that you thought until today african means black and christian... in fact there is ongoing religious and culture war raging over the continent as we speak.

According to western liberal media. 16% of french support ISLAMIC STATE (not Islam or particular customs mind you, but genocidal state already existing in the middle East), it is closer to 27% among those younger than 18, reflecting the fact, that religious people do have far more children than their secular counterparts. Outbreeding them. Then you come along and tell me, that caliphate in France is non-option, because... why exactly not? Do you think those people cannot use voting booths?

http://www.newsweek.com/16-french-citizens-support-isis-poll-finds-266795

MaDoom got one thing right. France has changed. Because people who have founded it are slowly dying out, while the newcomers dont even call it France anymore. Faith forms culture and culture forms civilization.

Unfortunately, Mr. Macron also threatened entire eastern flank of the EU to prove that he is a big boy. Addressing state of emergency in his own country is below him as is slow rapture of its welfare system - France already has second highest taxation of working class in developed world. Instead of Islamic State or domestic political crisis he points his manly sword to... Poland.

http://www.euronews.com/2017/04/28/france-s-macron-wants-sanctions-on-poland-others-for-violating-eu-principles

I am not sure, how the french voters will interpret this, but I certainly know how eastern Europe will react to impotent threats, not to mention ever increasing window for russian diplomacy in its former colonies. For criticizing those like Le Pen and Trump, Social Justice Warriors certainly seem to have gift for isolating themselves from any possible allies.

You are trying to evade the question, my friend   yes, indeed material possesions makes life more comfortable to live. I could write books about this topic.

But you have said something different. Enough money = happiness. Less than "enough" = unhappiness.

There are people in the world, who unlike you dont have opportunities to make 10 000 euros per month. What would you advise them to be happy, if you find blowjobs below your high standarts? Do you feel happy right, now?

You see where I am going with this.

You cannot buy state of mind. Material and spiritual are two absolutely different things.

DooMAD,


I have a news for you. Being a migrant is a "status" not belief system, religion or a race. Your name calling is therefore merely telling of your own palpable education. And your assumption is wrong, I am welcoming of guests, who share my values and have decency to knock. As is the observed custom in my culture. Where was the last time you shared your own bread and wine with strangers, that you have the audicity to label others as non-elected judge?


What freedoms *attacked* by what intolerance? Do you find resistance to Islamic State revolting? You dont know what you are talking about, because you have no idea that freedom of one ends where freedom of others start. You have just said so yourself.


Already forgot sentence you have written above? You dont make good case for yourself.



Writing about tolerance doesnt absolve individual in his attacks on free speech, as writing about world peace doesnt absolve killer from the act of murder.

You, social justice warriors claim to have monopoly on all those noble words and creeds, often directly copied and pasted from Bible, yet you have presented no value system of your own, indeed prepared to ditch anything and anyone overboard, if the means justify the end. You are no different from communists I grew up with in my homeland.

France with people like you will only work as a socialist police state, Big brother as a poor fascimile for the God. Enjoy your "minute of hate" against the rest of us for time is not on your side.



This is not work of God or any nation. It is your work.

For how much money would you give a grossly obese, old, smelly man a blowjob? What is your price? Serious question. "Happiness" is worth a little work, dont you agree?


I find it quite remarkable that marxist would by reasoning alone realize that spirit and matter are two essentially different things. Freud towards end of his life aswell admitted, that vast majority of people cannot live with physical sensations alone, pointing to the God as natural counterpart of material world in Man´s soul.

Unfortunately, thinkers of this calibre were and are in small minority among western secularists.

Neither me nor Sithara are even French or residing in France. I am eastern european baptist, you racist prick.

On basis of that, we do not dictate to you anything, we are merely telling you, that your country and its culture has become laughing stock even in third world and it is fault of faithless, valueless people like you. Nobody else.

Not even Le Pen can reverse decades old fact, that your country´s soul is stricken by mental illness, but even slowing the bleeding could buy people of any descent or faith time to start to talk with each other again. For if you by your own stupidity become refugee in your own country, I swear you wont find any respite coming to my door step. Deepest circle of hell is reserved for cowards and traitors.
