The MMVA's was pretty tame this year
But to answer your question if Kayne becomes a serious candidate I hope he can manage the country well at least people seem to be humoring him.
I guess in Crypto he may be supportive as long as their is no Kaynecoin named after him if he became the POTUS or he keeps the same legal team.

(True story it did a pretty good job of using his lyrics to mark his politics)

If the lead actor in 1954 classic Cattle Queen of Montana can go on to become commander-in-chief, and The Terminator can be elected to run the eighth largest economy in the world, is it really that hard to imagine successful producer, musician and entrepreneur Kanye West living it up in the Oval Office?

To my knowledge a cloud crosses all borders duty free just like a flock of birds is not sensitive to borders.
So no the cloud does not have a nationality where the data comes from and where its shared to does not matter only the endpoints of where the data is used, this will be an interesting court case though hopefully Microsoft wins this one.

When did it became an anti-homosexual forum?

This thread just shows, what kind of people are on this forum.

When did this become the politically sensitive forum?
Leave your sensitivities at the door. (Or be prepared to defend them that is what discussion is for)

Hopefully next period is less.  Guess we will see.

It does look like their will be a carry over it's been a while since that happened and predictions will need to move higher the next time around.

6365  Other / Meta / Re: One of the most egregious ads I've seen in this forum on: September 04, 2015, 03:26:07 AM
There is a rule on that one
No posting the signature in the body of a text but they sure did put some effort into that one

It occurred to me that I should write a little about this in case anyone's wondering about what dogie's doing, or why other people are getting banned for somewhat similar activity:

Ads are typically not allowed in posts (outside of the signature area) because they are annoying and off-topic. It is especially disallowed to put ads or signatures at the bottom of all of your posts. Except for traditional valedictions, which are tolerated but discouraged, signatures are for the signature area only.

However, if you are using the forum as a publishing platform to host something really substantial and useful, selling ads in that substantial work is allowed. To be eligible for this, your post must be in a topic that you started, and your post must be substantial and long enough to make the ad seem entirely insignificant. If in doubt, ask me.

Every month or so I check the couple of websites (showing BTC ATMs) as well as the Facebook page re the International Bitcoin group.

But, I am dismayed that these BTC ATMs (I saw "BTMs" written elsewhere, clever) do not appear anywhere near my city.

Maybe BTC is not catching on?  Or have they changed the rules FORCING showing ID?  (The one BTM I used in NYC required no ID).


How are BTC ATMs catching on (or not)?

It depends what sites are you using to check Bitcoin ATM growth pretty sure there are a few hundred to thousand around now see 457 at least.

France agrees to proposed new quotas system and Brussels unveils plans to quadruple the number of people spread across most of the EU to 160,000

The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, looks set for victory in her campaign to press Europe into a new system of sharing refugees after France caved in to a proposed new quotas system and Brussels unveiled plans to quadruple the number of people spread across most of the EU.

In a major policy speech on Europe’s worst migration emergency, Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European commission, is to table proposals next Wednesday for the mandatory sharing of 160,000 refugees between 26 of the EU’s 28 countries

Britain, Ireland and Denmark are exempted from having to take part, but Dublin has already agreed to participate and David Cameron is under increasing pressure for Britain to pull its weight as the migration crisis escalates with scenes of chaos and misery on Europe’s borders.

Berlin and Paris have sought to maintain a common position for weeks, but the French equivocated on the key issue of binding quotas. On Thursday, the president, François Hollande, aligned himself with Merkel’s drive for compulsory EU sharing of refugees.

6376  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Devianttwo is a Pedophile AKA Robert Christopher on: September 03, 2015, 11:45:31 PM
I screwed up and made a very VERY bad judgement call.

Screwed up? Judgement call? "Hmmmm, should I download those child abuse images?" Is not a 'judgement call' type of question for anybody who isn't a twisted fucked-up excuse for a human being.

You're only sorry you got caught, shitbag.

I screwed up and made a very VERY bad judgement call. I am a God loving man and I always have been.  I know my Lord will protect me through this hard time. Goodbye my friends and my God Bless each and every one of you.

Fuck you and your 'God'. I'm sure you'll quickly find the rest of the child-abusing scumbags huddled in the prison yard in their 'prayer circle', roundly declaring themselves 'healed' of the 'sin' and no longer under the control of 'satan', because you lot don't exactly do intellectual honesty, which is why you love yourself so much Gawd. You get to play-pretend *real* fucking hard and convince yourselves that Gawd has forgiven you and how you're not going to make the same 'mistake' in future, again. Each time.

Aha, I see 'Swordsoffreedom' is flying that bullshit 'Getting off on abusing children is just the same as being Gay' twisted 'justification'. Please explain how two grown adults having consensual sex, irrespective of their gender, is *anything* like an adult abusing his position of power to betray children for his selfish sexual gratification.

I'm eager to hear your sound explanation for why your buddy, the pedophile, is just being unfairly treated, you know, what with how teh gheys trample on your right to hate that they demand to be treated as equal human beings.
There is a big difference between abusing children and looking at pictures of (abused?) children.
And yes, I know the ramification of "without demand there wouldn't be supply" etc., but it is still not the same. So, if you want to argue, argue about the crime he actually committed.

Heh I was waiting for that troll bait
IT's CALLED NAMBLA
They both started in this together its just that one got scaled up and the other faction had to abandon their roots and switch to pure condemnation for them.
I'll even link it up for you.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/03/28/_be_they_gays_be_they_nambla_be_they_people_who_believe_in_beastiality.html

Didn't say it was = just saying that assaulting the pillars of society is annoying all around we could have a whole argument on the definition of produced/drawn/voyeur/3d/jailbait/non-nude/models etc and the legal stances on each but that is not what a Scam accusation thread is for.

CARSON: Well, my thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It's a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality. It doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition. So it's not something that is against gays, it's against anybody who wants to come along and change the fundamental definitions of pillars of society. It has significant ramifications.

(Love who they want is the Gay motto just poking at the foundations of the LGBT/Gay Rights movement and throwing it under a scrutiny bus)

Well with modern society and its liberalization of the gay community despite vast protest for their lifestyle and the act of sodomy in general, I can see that point of view of being a bit light being fair as I will equate the dang two things as equal (lol off topic).
Only one has the pocketbook while the others have no collective organization.

No, the difference is that gays don't have 'victims'. Pedophiles do. This shouldnt be hard to understand

Fair enough was just poking a bit at cryptodevil there, but to address your other point their are victims in that society as a whole has to adopt policies that may be unfair towards those whose opinions are in disagreement, why else would their be debates about a Christian not being able to bake cakes and closing his shop because of gay rights, educational reform in Ontario forcing children to learn about LGBT issues without proper discussion from parents first, or arresting individuals for not providing marriage licenses in Kentucky to LGBT couples based on personal and state beliefs just to name a few not even getting into adoptions.

Another issue would be the Bus Driver who refused to drive a LGBT themed Calgary Transit bus because it interfered with his own personal beliefs on this issue, not that he was not willing to provide the service but he did condone the theming of the bus itself and then having his life and job sabotaged by those who are angry that he voiced a contrary opinion to this issue.

https://www.advocate.com/religion/2015/09/03/canadian-bus-driver-refuses-work-citing-radical-sexual-movement
"Employees have rights too, including the right to religious views that seem objectionable and difficult to fathom."

(The difference here between the other cases is that it was the transit authority that authorized and promoted this as an independent impartial public service the LGBT community did pay for the advertising but unlike lets say a divorce billboard on the side of a bus) the bus was rainbow colored saying it is a public duty when a group forces it on the employee is not equivalent in society to having a choice in the matter and being prosecuted for it.

A significant portion of transit customers, and perhaps drivers, would undoubtedly feel uncomfortable on this bus. This might be a feel-good experience for some but in reality anyone not supportive of the pride movement is being made to feel excluded by a city agency they pay taxes for. If there is any place where statements like this should have no place it is on public services.

The victims are diverse but they are not as directly attributable to a single cause as that between a pedo and a kid, he-he if people wanted to start a firestorm then we would need to talk about consent and what can be defined as consent, as well as levels of love and different types of relationships to define what is healthy historical precedents etc but that would bring in feminist arguments about victimization what does it mean to be a victim and what would be considered a healthy relationship, ha-ha sorry just having a bit of fun this threads pretty amusing.

To sum it up there is a point where it just becomes incendiary, where the LGBT community is just trying to create controversy to victimize themselves so when you say there are no victims I disagree there are victims it's just not as clearly connected and that shouldn't be hard to understand.

As an aside how is this a Scam Accusation again ?
Move to Off-Topic , sum it up No Scam was performed here however a persons character was put into question and while that does qualify as a reason for people to avoid trading with the person no money was stolen nor was their any intent to steal Bitcoin that I can see.

All of the brave Ontario parents that disapprove of the new curriculum.

Do you know what happened after this? I have friends in Canada, and they have told me that children are taken away from their parents and placed in foster homes (mostly belonging to homosexuals) for doing something which is much less provocative. I just hope that the kids are safe with their parents, in this case.

In this case it looks like the scale is to large for them to make any threats like moving children to foster homes, society in general has discouraged the curriculum change and it was considered a political issue there in the last election, too little consultation before this was implemented.

Rather promotion of home schooling and private schooling seems to be the norm at present as this is still an ongoing story.

“We feel hopeless,” said Khalid Mahmood, a father of five who lives in Thorncliffe Park. His three younger children will not be in class when schools open next week. “Our goal is to do home-schooling for a month, maybe longer,” said Mahmood, who also helped organize a protest rally outside Premier Kathleen Wynne’s constituency office Wednesday.

“We don’t want to be outside the mainstream,” Mahmood said. “Our call is not anti-public school system, but we feel there should be a system that should accommodate all people.”

I can recall those day's very well, but does not mean I want go back to it.   I think at this point 20-30 are not going to happen as total hashrate has raised so much.

I hope we don't get to 7.   But I am really starting to think we have someone turning on some gear 6+ is a lot of hash.

As do I, those increases were scary buggers for mining as your gear was out dated in a few months at times at least it was off-set by prices though if they were going up so you could estimate ROI on a mining calculator.
That said it looks like some new hash is coming on and miners will be upgrading their units to S7's in a month or so perhaps their is also some unit testing before shipping as this blip needs to be accounted for somewhere.

Phase 1. Destroy heteronormative standards and establish equality for all sexuality. Struggle nearing completion in most industrialized nations [sorry Russians]

Phase 2. Destroy the myth of Homo Sapien monogamy and assert science in the realm of human sexuality. Pansexuality / polyamory explodes. Struggle ongoing in most industrialized nations

Phase 3. Smash the myth [social construct] of gender and assert science in that realm. Struggle just began in industrialized nations

Phase 4. Medical science cures all sexually transmitted infections/diseases. Orgies ensue all over the world. Probably a result of nanotech innovation.

Phase 5. Merging of hardware and wetware, next phase of human evolution. Religion fully obsolete as mortality itself has been solved.


As a topic it should be named how Sodomy is trying to kill God.
The issue extends to the act of homosexual f***ing and should be called as such.

Phase 1 (High resistance from the Muslims as well and a realigning or possible force reset through Libyan refugees in Europe in the future)
Phase 2 Still ongoing force the bastardization of morality until it is a threat to society itself by promoting polygamy and similar values and lots of sex unfortunately that minority will never completely die out although hackers do try to slow that down Ashley Madison leaks etc.
Phase 3: Confuse people through education to pervert default values (Ontario sex curriculum forcing sex and marriage licenses)
Phase 4: Sooner or later only a matter of time with Occulus Rift + Porn
Phase 5: == The Causes of World War 3.
