In the 1976 in the USA was epidemic of swine flu. ONE person died because of that. After this incident government ordered vaccinate for people. From the side effect of this vaccine 30 people died and 500 got ill for Guillain - Barre syndrome. Now tell me that vaccine is always good.
Could you at least cite something man? I have a hard time believing those numbers. It doesn't take much googling to find sources about that incident. |

Good luck quoting me quoting anyone on that chart in this topic, and welcome to my ignore evil bastards list. Good luck trying to claim that their actions, like MLK Jr. having an "an arsenal" of guns (according to Glenn Smiley) at his and his civil rights brethren's disposal, applying for a concealed carry permit (but being denied, thanks to Jim Crow), and then being assassinated after "embracing non-violence" (which may have meant eschewing even the protection of those around him who could otherwise have posted as countersnipers and stopped James Earl Ray) had no meaning. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/adam-winkler/mlk-and-his-guns_b_810132.htmlWe didn't need MLK Jr. to be a martyr, we needed him to live a long life and fight to his natural death for the civil rights that are STILL being infringed today by white presidents like Barack Obama, and everyone below his rank. The only claim I made is that just posting some names and saying they're for/against gun control is not an argument. I did not state or even implied that MLK had no meaning and I can't even fathom how you reached that conclusion. Also I did not resort to an ad hominem. |

What I Should Have DoneWith the benefit of hindsight, it has become increasingly apparent that I should have just held my original 13 BTC. I would have multiplied my investment tenfold. BUT it's not too late. I have bought 3 BTC @ AUD$695 each from a trader on http://localbitcoins.com and sent them to three paper wallets worth 1 BTC each. The plan is to hold them in a safe for a year, and then see what they are worth. My prediction: they will at least double in value  PS: If you use a web wallet, be sure to set up Two-Factor Authentication! From miner to speculator  Good luck. |

I don't trust exchanges anymore.
Exchange is important part of the bitcoin ecology system. If exchange has no trust, then bitcoin has no trust. I agree with the first sentence. But the second should be nuanced. Would you deposit your fiat to you local currency exchange and trust them hold it for you? I wouldn't. I trust them to convert my USD to EUR. The same applies to exchanges... I put in fiat x (say US dollars) and get out bitcoin. Or vice versa. I trust them to do this, but I will limit the risk by withdrawing immediately. I do not trust them to hold my belongings for long. Also bitcoin has trust even without exchanges. I will still be able to buy a pizza with it! |

LOL "at least 1/6 of them is still alive", as if that's a real argument.
How about this? Every single one on the bottom row has non-"collateral damage" innocent blood on his hands and thought they were doing "the right thing".
The same cannot be said for the entire top row.
The argument is about as valid as the propaganda image. It is an appeal to authority, and a poor one at that. It holds no value. Good luck cherry picking some more (out of context) quotes of famous people and interpreting their stance on a current issue. |

I'm siding with the people who think you shouldn't own a gun then. At least 1/6 of them is still alive. Everyone in the other group is dead. Come on, stop the cherry picked propaganda and bring some real arguments. |

A banker talking about bitcoin. I'm sure there's no conflict of interest or any agenda. *cough*

WOW! If I'm reading that correctly, thats a little over the top. So pretty much any knife with a sharp edge is considered a weapon to harm people.
Not just knives. A saw is also considered to have a cutting edge. Scissors have cutting edges... Those common items fall into category 4 I guess. So if you're caught "open carrying" a saw in an urban area without trees one could argue there is no other intended purpose than to hurt someone, right? There is no other use for a saw there, is there? The same could even be said about scissors... If you're "open carrying" a pair of scissors at a cross road.... Well, there's no obvious purpose for the scissors. You must be a psycho murderer waiting for a victim! Catch all rules are very open to interpretation and thus abuse. Do you trust your law enforcement and/or department of justice to make the right decision? |

I don't own any.
Where I am from knives are regulated too.
Regulated how exactly? In Canada these knives are considered prohibited: automatic knives such as switchblades centrifugal knives such as flick knives or butterfly knives; gravity knives; Constant Companion (belt-buckle knife) finger rings with blades or other sharp objects projecting from the surface; push daggers; spiked wristbands; Do any of those fit into your "regulated" category? Category 1 weapons - completely prohibited
Weapons in this category are, without exemption, entirely prohibited: both its possession and trade in it. This category includes, among others:
Stilettos (spring blades) blades with lateral projecting blade
Flick knives: knives with protruding blade (with or without spring)
Butterfly knives: knives with a handle that consists of two parts, which can be lifted to the blade back (see note below)
Foldable blades with a total unfolded length above 28 cm
Foldable knife with a blade over a cutting edge has
throwing Stars
Vilmessen and ballistic knives
Bladed weapons which looks similar to an object other than a weapon
Arrows and arrowheads, intended to be fired, which feature cutting parts with the obvious intent thereby to cause serious injury.
Category 4 weapons - possession allowed, not allowed to carry in public
Knives in this category may be in the possession or trafficking. These weapons are not worn. That is, they must be so packed properly during transport that they can not be used for immediate use.
From our range fall under Category 4:
Edged weapons (knives) with a blade more than one cutting edge, provided they do not fall under Category 1.
Notes: * A closed folding knife with a blade over a cutting edge has falls under Category 1 - and is completely forbidden. Note: A zaagtanding is hereby considered cutting edge!
* A knife with fixed blade and more than one cutting edge (eg zaagtanding in the back) falls under Category 4.
Cutlasses, swords, sabers and bayonets.
Objects which, given their nature or context in which they are found, it can be reasonably assumed that they are intended for no other purpose than to bring harm to persons or to threaten - and not covered by any of the other three categories.
NOTE: It is very important that you carrying such a weapon is always well packaged.
Sorry for the poor translation, I am not familiar with all the specific knive related terms in English so I resorted to google translate. Do note the catch-all. |

Thank you for the interest. I am by no means an honey or bee expert but I will educate myself. I will be driving up country this weekend and figure out exactly what types of honey are available. Please let me know if you have any other questions / request so I can investigate more this weekend. I'm very interested as Goat (the original seller) was due to send me some for research purposes.
Give me a shout as to costs and what sort of colony it is (as Goat was offering feral (wild) honey and this is the stuff I need).
I had not heard of feral bees yet. My (short) research tells me these are wild bees from escaped swarms or unmanaged colonies. I'm not certain if I can find a source for that, but I will keep you updated. I thought Goat was selling honey from the Royal Project, which is still available. They do have raw honey, but I have to confirm what colony that comes from. What are the prices per pound shipped?
I am in Portland, Oregon, USA!
Thanks
Shipping rates would vary by the actual weight shipped. 2 pounds would be about 0.05 Bitcoin for air mail. |

I came across some old (by bitcoin standards ancient) thread of someone selling Thai honey on here. It seems they stopped selling a long time ago. Is there still any interest in buying Thai honey on here?
I am in a position to get my grubby hands on that sweet nectar on a regular basis and wouldn't mind sharing/shipping some of it across the globe.

If you can't pick from two options, go for option three! How about fusing the words bitcoin and auction together? You get: bitcon.com  I'm honestly suprised that that domain isn't taken yet! |

The site is trying to initiate some file download for me in chrome. Be warned.

RealSolid rises from the dead once more. I'm so glad the Bitcoin Foundation has Brock Pierce! He's proof that they are nothing but a bunch of profiteering pudwackers. I hope he goes bankrupt. ROFL - Capital? Check!
- Media exposure? Check!
- Experienced dev (Mastercoin)? Check!
- Marketing specialist? Check!
This coin will be a great success. For Brock Pierce. Investors will be knocking down his door. For the rest of us... Who cares!? |
