why is this a long weekend ?

Christians think that a guy that was killed on Friday woke up on Sunday.
that's on 15 16 and 17 this month

Google disagrees: https://www.google.com/search?q=easter

Islam is the worlds fastest growing religion the OP is obliviously afraid of that and that's why he is sprouting out Islamaphobia.  No I don't want to live under Sharia law (like my foreskin, beer and bacon butties too much) or see woman walking round in burqa's tho I don't mind the hijab tho food from the Muslim countries from North Africa to India is the best even better than Italian food and they make the best hashish  Grin

If OP is right, and it is a philosophical blunder, then he should have nothing to fear.  Such things will work themselves out.  It will not take over unless you prove it right by constantly attacking it.  Islam teaches one how to draw strength from such attacks, as many philosophies do.

Matthew: USSR was socialism/communism.  USA before creation of the Federal Reserve system was capitalism. Today under Obama it is more socialism. Nazism was socialism. (Hitler's party was the National Worker's Union).  You have many concepts confused.  Socialism is evil as well, but Sharia is militant and Socialism is philosophically evil. Left or right, democrats or republicans -- their title doesn't matter. What matters is what they say, and what they stand for in their actions.

To others -- I have stated my postiion and will not debate further in this forum -- the information is out there in the links I posted, and you can debate there on each of those points. My point of posting it here was pertaining to bitcoin and the hypocrisy of such a use: defending freedom and financing murder is a contradiction.

Yet you attack such hypocrisy by supporting war against a populace.  Sure, the government may lose power, but the populace loses lives.  Who are you trying to free here?
6047  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Evil of religion, and investment into IBB, Islamic Bitcoin Bank on: April 05, 2012, 09:03:00 PM
I'm not stopping anyone by force of using IBB.  Go ahead, use IBB. I will make sure my bitcoins will not end up there, and my post is the explanation why.

I disagree with you, therefore I wrote my post. Being able to write what I wrote is one of the meanings of freedom to me.

Sharia, is exactly, the evil merge of religion and govt. It is a conquering theology, that attempts to dominate the whole world by force and majority voting.

But in thruth, no religion was able to contain itself -- it wants to spread by its definition. That is why it is so dangerous.  From Christian crusades, to the Inquisition, to Hugenots, and finally to Sharia.

Saying that financing evil is a necessity of a free currency is orthogonal to my position. I am saying that although it is technically possible, and maybe some people do it, you, the reader, shouldn't do it for the reasons I have outlined.

I am also not saying the the CEO of IBB is a not a nice guy.  Many people are good people, but they do bad things without realizing it. We are born into the world with a baggage of culture that is fed into us by the social system in which we grow.  Read 1984 by George Orwell, about how hard it is to contradict.  Many people grow up with a several conflicting views in their head, that they don't know how to balance. For example, the concept of God and the story in the Holy Books, and science.  They invent a kludge to keep them in their head without conflicitng, rather than choosing the Occam's Razor.





The sword of truth is certainly sharper than the dagger of ignorance, but how can you be sure which you hold?  Do you want to risk slipping when you cut if your tool is subpar?

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Availability updated.  Existing lenders have until Monday, April 9th to increase their deposits.  If there is any availability after that, I will accept new lenders.
6049  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Royal Canadian Mint just announced a new alternative to BitCoin on: April 05, 2012, 07:38:56 PM
the thing is mintchip is just not as good as Bitcoin. It lacks some of the most attractive aspects of BTC. 
But when is a movie with "2" in the title ever as good as the first?

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back was much better than the original Star Wars. Smiley

But Episode 2: A New Hope was lame... The Phantom Menace was better.  I don't agree that 5 was better than 4, but that's irrelevant to RodeoX's point.

USD up to ~80, gold grinding against $1630, Bitcoin holding near $4.90.

USD seems to be straining, gold is showing its perennially gradual ascent, Bitcoin is Bitcoin.

It still looks like the dollar is in danger, gold is hitting discount buying, and Bitcoin is along for the ride. I don't see any earth-shattering changes in the fundamentals. Even the technicals are lacking momentum.

Must hold out long enough to sell everything.........
When it's gone, the bottom falls out and momentum will develop very quickly.

The fundamentals changed when the realized they could use their liquidity bots to prop things up while they switched their positions.

For example, a mentally ill criminal with no family or friends is stuck in an institution to protect all the die-hard capitalists on the outside. Who pays?

The die-hard capitalists needing the protection should pay.  Nobody in prison is a "user", the people outside are the ones who benefit.  However, like Haplo said, in reality nobody benefits because our prison system refines criminals rather than repairing them.

This is getting way off topic, but...

I used to think that about prison. Now it's clear to me that many of the 'criminals' on the inside are there for the protection and/or service of the criminals on the outside. It's a bonus to them that many degenerate inside making a nice excuse to keep it all going.

That is a good point, but not always the case.  For example, I have an adopted brother who is retarded and was abused as a child.  He has been to prison several times and has only gained knowledge of how to be a criminal.  He's not smart enough to pull it off though, so he'll just keep going back.  He doesn't want a normal life, and any attempt to keep him off the streets just ends up with him running off and getting put away.  He needs help, but all they offer is criminal minds 101.

I smell some movement, not sure which direction though.  Down looks good, but maybe too good, which brings in the up possibility.  I'm guessing we'll find out around 4 - 4:30 EST.

No.  MintChip is just another inflationary currency dressed up like Bitcoin.  It's like Bitcoin only without all the things that make Bitcoin great.

LOL. I'm sure that's a real feel good for a lot of folks  Wink

Odd coincidence, I'm on another message board right now discussing why being ignorant, superstitious, and unacquainted with logic or reason has now become a mark of virtue amongst so many Americans.


I know that I know very little, so I am ignorant.  I believe there are forces I don't understand, so I am superstitious.  But, I only give up logic and reason when I deal with women or when infuriated.

Anyway, the first two are just part of being humble, and thus virtues.  Logic and reason however, are a crucial part of living in a sane world.

6060  Economy / Speculation / Re: how much will take to squeeze this ? on: April 04, 2012, 08:12:42 PM
someone made a buy order on bitcoinica  for 9000 bitcoin -i did see that order a bit above- at $4,97 base price that means about 4.95 mtgox price
squeezing 9000 bitcoins is a awesome opportunity
Define squeeze.
If the price is taken low enough, Mr. 9000 will either cut his losses, or if taken even lower, he will be force liquidated.
Thanks, that's what I got from reading the rest of the thread.
And of course, without knowing the leverage used or how much reserve he has, there's no way to know where this would get liquidated.

But if we hit that price, you'll know it.
