I live in europe, in a country where even possession of some larger knifes is prohibited by law. And you know what? It's one of the few things, I like about my country! ...

I want to live in a peaceful world, without guns, bazookas or even nuke bombs. I don't want to possess them and I even more do not want to use them, because if I did, people will get hurt or die and I think no single person should be entitled to judge about life or death of another person.

Often I read the argument, that people must possess guns to defend against the government. So you want to fight with your small guns against people with high end arms or even nuke bombs? Not very clever... If you want to change something about your government, change the people that give the power to the government.
I have lived in Europe and it is a relatively peaceful place, America is not. All that peace talk would not amount to much if you are being pistol whipped. I could not support a government that says I can't defend my life.

The argument that we must be armed because we are obligated to replace our government, should it become corrupt, seems extreme.  But our government was founded by extremists fleeing oppression by governments. So how would we fight a modern army with small arms? Well, we would bleed a lot. Just like the FSA in Syria. My whole life I have watched America get it's ass kicked by irregulars with small arms. We would win. I know how alien that is to people around the world who follow the rules because it is a rule.

There are no "winners" in a war and drug war is not an exception. Just saying..
Ha, yeah. It must be a real war because it's mostly civilians dying.

Friend of mine was military intelligence with top secrete clearance. While he did not divulge anything to me (rightly so) he did say the world was a lot more mundane than what people would like to believe...


The truth right there. There is no secret society or aliens controlling everything, it's just us brothers and sisters.

I doubt anyone would come after you legal or not.

Because there is no one to trust, so trust is irrelevant.

Are we 100% sure this is from Mt.Gox and not a phishing expedition.

LoL....yes 100% sure.  I didn't click the link in the email, I went to my browser and typed in the address.  Logged in and gave my coupon code under buy a yubikey.
Thanks. Just in case I get such an offer. Cry

@Matthew. Hmmm. that was like 20 years ago. I just don't remember. I would hate to be tested if the pilot had a heart attack. But maybe I could land a 152 and live. Later I spent a lot of time jumping out of planes, so who needs landing skilz.  Smiley

8 is likely the max you will get without doing some tweaking.

Matthew must be a pilot, at least FB thinks he is/wants to be.  hehehe Cheesy

Good eye. Went to pilots school at John Wayne Airport at 18.
FB knows all. lol That's cool Matt. I started ground school once then I broke my leg and got sidetracked. I always wanted to go back.  Embarrassed

Why would I want to withdraw in dollars? When I want something I buy it with BTC. That's why I bought them with dollars in the first place.

True, no logic could stand up to an infographic. 

The funny thing is that that there is no such thing as a financial expert, IMO. Even the very best of the best on Wall St. just barely do better than random chance. This has been studied extensively.  Personally I have made most of my real money in the stock market betting against the common wisdom and going with my gut + fundamentals. Using that I liquidated just before the tech bubble crash and again just before the current global collapse.
 I thank Laurie Anderson. I saw her in concert one night in '08 and a "sell" light went off in my head. Here is the song that did it, enjoy:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvhfSH9CbCw   

She is awesome!
8278  Economy / Speculation / Re: The bubble has popped, slow decline to $3 on the way on: June 27, 2012, 02:55:41 PM
Wow, this is a slow decline. We are up more than 10% at the moment. I'm no math whiz, how long will it take to get to $3 at 10% growth?
