they play the role of the apathetic 'ill pray for you' bystander.

care to explain your reasoning on why you think trump will 'fix america?'
i personally dont see what he offers other than playing on the xenophobia thats rampant with the ISIS attacks and saying upfront what people are thinking rather than doing the usual politician lying thing.

taken from the weekly auction thread:

ie, senior members do not have the ability to disable ads.

entitled snowflakes that think they should get whatever they want, whenever they want, however they want. its more or less children and not crazy people, although there are crazy people on this forum.

just my thoughts, but i think its a matter of insecurity, compensation for said insecurities, and a ridiculous sense of entitlement. there's a limit to how delusional the common person can be (excluding completely looney outliers), and there's no way all these people completely delude themselves into thinking jelly rolls, cellulite, and really bad body odor are attractive to a normal human being. instead they try to create some sort of widespread case of stockholm syndrome by aggressively forcing their thoughts on others, and sadly, this is working to some degree (nazi feminists being allowed to speak at the UN, really now...). combine that along with this delusional sense of entitlement that festers in the heads of these people and eventually these attention whores get around to actually thinking their delusional beliefs should be the norm for everything else around them.
if that wasnt enough, these people embody the very definition of the lack of self control and determination. lets take the obese feminist in your post as an example. lets take a quick look. said feminist is downright unattractive to say the least. how does said person of a more round shape begin to remedy this? go to the gym or something. but lets face it, going to the gym is some fucking hard work; your body is going to be sore in the morning, lifting is exhausting, fat people dont have stamina, eating right means you don get your 40 boxes of chocolate a day, not to mention the 2 cakes and 3 tubs of ice cream, and the list goes on. instead of taking it upon themselves to improve, they find it easier (necessary, even) to force everyone else to change their way of thinking over changing themselves. these people would rather spend a good portion of their life campaigning for something they know deep inside is complete bullshit rather than go through some physical work. imagine if they put the effort they put into spreading social cancer into actually improving themselves. same goes for the safe space keyboard warriors, they would rather put forth the effort into changing the way an entire society thinks over just dealing with things or ideas they might not like. theyre actively (either knowingly or unknowingly) attempting to remodel society into one where every person must agree with everything completely and at all times. it may be some sort of utopia in their sheltered heads, but any realist knows complete hivemind - level agreement is detrimental to the growth and survival of a society, nothing would ever get accomplished. this post was articulated rather poorly, my bad.

maybe he just wants to claim the activity on the account, not everything QS does is a reason to suspect him of doing something shady.

dont get me wrong, i think donald would make a terrible country, but he is smart. hes exploiting the xenophobia that has bred in the USA for the past decade ever since the  9/11 attacks. what better way to get votes from gun toting 'murican citizens than shout hate on all those pesky muslim terrorists? it might give him a bad image with the part of the population that has common sense, but it sure does get him a lot of votes with xenophobic sheep.

exactly why is this thread stickied? please tell me this is a mistake.

please feel free to discuss exactly why you think the mods of the forum are tied to the chinese secret police or something. im pretty sure that the government of china has a lots of better things to do than snooping around for 1 particular user on a magic internet money forum. the world isnt out to get you, stop trying to play the victim for everything you snowflake.

The teacher said he had been attacked while alone in a classroom in Aubervilliers, a suburb of Paris.
But prosecutors said he had wounded himself with a box cutter and was now being questioned as to why he lied.
...
The 45-year-old teacher - who has not been named - has been treated in hospital for superficial wounds to his side and neck.
According to his account, a man had attacked him with a box cutter at about 07:10 (06:10 GMT) on Monday and had shouted: "This is for Daesh [Islamic State]. It's a warning".

so where exactly is this 'general goodness and protection' now? i dont see very much protection going over in the middle east, and in the US with all these mass shootings / stabbings.

i wouldve agreed on it being shady at best if it were not for the fact that mark coins was active and posting after op pmed him about winning the auction. if he had just taken the 5 seconds to say 'sorry i have to go back on my bid, stuff happens ya know,' that wouldve been completely fine. mark coins tried to avoid the issue and only responded after the issue was brought to the public's attention.

he doesnt care because Hillary isnt out spreading hate on islam. nothing else matters to this guy. probably because this level of lying is more or less a normal thing for politicians nowadays.

the world isnt a safe space for any snowflake out there, especially when it comes to politics. that being said, i agree with what mike christ said. naive is what the politicians want you to be; they like it when the population is full of sheep thatll readily eat up whatever propaganda or bs theyre spoon fed.

some debt is okay, it lets nations maintain friendly international relations. however, the scale of the debt the US has accumulated is insane; the debt is not decreasing by any substantial amount anymore, and no matter what, that debt is going to catch up sooner or later.

that's not important; whats important is their fundamental beliefs on how society should be run (in their eyes) have not changed to adapt with modern society. this wouldnt be a problem if it didnt conflict with the modern laws concerning equality and human rights, but they do unfortunately, and people will go far to impose wht they think is right upon others, which is exactly what we see with islamic extremists. this is more or less the radical extreme of fundamentalist religion making what is more or less a last stand in the modern world.

and i think there was a giveaway of some sort for 12 month keys, dont recall exactly where i saw that though.

im my opinion, a bought account doesnt say anything about the actual person behind that account in terms of how trustable they may or may not be. sure, its a given that bought accounts can be used to scam (bitcoinblackfriday), but its common knowledge on the forum that bought accounts are, for the most part, used to participate in signature campaigns for the higher payout. as for the portion of your op i quoted, i do remember reading a post somewhere (somewhere that im not going to go dig for) from QS stating that he had sold or escrowed the sale of some accounts in the past that have risen to positions on DT over the years. not saying that applies to everyone though.

in regards to the poll's options, theyre pretty limited.
i disagree with this, people can be trusted, accounts are more or less just an identity people know you as, and even if an account is known to be bought, the person behind that online identity can come to be trusted over time. take the case of some of the account trades QS escrowed / sold above for example. trust them right off the bat? no. over a year or two? id consider it.

again, i don't agree with this one either, just one example of a trade on a newly assumed identity is not and cannot be indicative of the user's honesty. there's always the possibility that thhe newly bought account is trying to farm trust points to pull off an exit scam later, or something. however, going back to the previous reasoning, that person behind that assumed identity can come to be trusted as time passes. everything regarding the matter is a gray area, really, especially with the trust system and internet green points. i personally dont even bother with it anymore to be honest. im also not voting on the poll as i dont agree with either of the answer choices.

exactly, trust isnt mandated to be left on every little trade or dealing / interaction that happens on the forum. if someone feels that a certain interaction with another user gives them the impression that the user in question is an honest person, by all means feel free to leave a positive rating. that dosnt mean you have to though, for example my trust page is not at all indicative of all the trades / dealings ive had.

after my last exam which should be finished in about ~10 hours, just shoot me a pm whenever, chances are im awake.

its happening. this is just the beginning.

im of the opinion that negative trust is valid for newbie / junior accounts that spam loans with the obvious lack of intent to repay them. you on the other hand, have been active on the forum for some time, but it is still not a guarantee to a lender that you will repay the loan give the possibility of you scamming and making a net profit if the scam were to succeed. not saying you will, but hypothetically. you can go ahead and try to get the loan, but i doubt many people would be willing to take a leap of faith here. keep in mind though, that my opinions and thoughts on the matter may be different than those of users that may be on DT. personally, i wouldnt leave negative trust if you were to request a loan.
