Just put a condom over your ethernet cable before you plug it in. Problem solved.

Pearl Harbor could have been stopped, but was allowed in order to give America pretext for entering the war. Japan was already trying to surrender when the nukes were dropped, but their surrender was rejected.
The ONLY reason the nukes were dropped was to demonstrate to the world that the USA has the technology for nukes, and was willing to use it. Unless it was demonstrated, the threat of nukes could be written off as a bluff, and therefore would lose its deterrent effect. Given they could have demonstrated it in a way that didn't cost hundreds of thousands of civilian lives, but that hardly makes the same psychological impact now does it?

Corps will not consider anything you guys are saying (even though im 100% agreeing), why? because it will cut profits. Simple, 1-2-3
Indeed. The truth is gmos are way superior in effiency. Gm crops for example can grow during winter and are immune against pests and illnesses. The problem is only that we dont know for sure if it is healthy or not. Most scientist also say there is no way to not use gmo for the future, because we just need to produce more food for the increasing world population. As far as I know there are no factual basis for these claims. Care to support these arguments with evidence? I have never heard of these supposed GMO winter crops, but I know for a fact that the supposedly immune BT products lead directly to resistance to pesticides and create pests that are almost completely uncontrollable even by standard methods using insecticide, so this is far from a fact. As far as GMOs being required in order to meet food demand, this is also another talking point they like to claim that has no basis in reality. I will also give you two reasons why this is patently false. Number one, GMO seeds are EXPENSIVE, more expensive than natural seeds, meaning the worlds poor can't afford them to begin with. Number 2, most of their GMO seeds are what are known as "Terminator" seeds, where they are completely sterile and can not be used to replant because they are designed so that farmers have to buy seed stock from them EVERY YEAR. This is again another factor that increases dependance on Monsanto and raises the cost of growing food.

If you take a whole fetus, alive, then you cut it up for sale. Is that a crime or is it still dead flesh?
According to what I have read, any fetus delivered whole, either thru natural premature delivery or via abortion, it is a crime to sell the tissue. But if you KILL the fetus after delivery, then maybe you can sell its tissues for profit? Then I am sure that would be legal? The distinction appears to be that if the fetus is removed intact in any way, it is not legal to sell the organs.

So the fact that his ex wives were bleeding him dry and he was broke had nothing to do with his suicide?

Anyone running a signature campaign is going to be a target of selective enforcement here, as they are in direct competition with selling forum ads, which is the main source of income for the forum, and even possibly indirectly the source of the staff/moderators pay.
Oh come on if they target signature users here there would be a lot more bans, you're just a bit biased in this area due to a disagreement with the staff. The guy was probably just posting nonsense non stop. Believe whatever you like. Does any of that change that fact that that is where their paycheck comes from?

That is a nice optical illusion you have there. Too bad it relies on lines emanating from the center to achieve the illusion of curvature. Last time I checked the sky there are not dozens of straight lines emanating from the horizon to a central vanishing point.
Really! Then why do polarized sunglasses work so well? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I am not sure what sense this makes in your harebrained mind, but polarized glasses work by blocking one axis of photons. Photos travel in many different directions, but polarized lenses block one axis, and allow the other to flow thru it. This is why if you take two polarized lenses and stack them and turn one of them, it becomes completely opaque, as both of the axis of light are blocked. Care to explain how you think this supports your argument? how do you know the Sun is a "body"?
It exists. So do rainbows. Uh, rainbows are nothing but a temporary phenomena of light refracted in water particles. The sun has huge mass and is persistent. That is why the sun is a body, and a rainbow isn't.

because you don't value science
You go off your own religion instead
I am not religious, and I am not antiabortion in general, but I don't find this behavior acceptable. "science" is often used as an excuse for some horrible atrocities. In this case, by making the fetal organs a commodity, they are creating a direct monetary incentive for the destruction of lives, which is quite a slippery slope which clearly leads to the idea that human beings are meat to be chopped up and sold. Abortions are one thing, selling the organs to the highest bidder as a commodity is another.

![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) that worked thank you! NP. Glad it worked out. Any time you crash, force quit, or run out of disk space (stopping blockchain download), this kind of conflict can happen. It is important to back up your files because some times this can also result in permanent corruption of your wallet.dat file!

...you dont seem to have any kind of business anyways here, selling stuff or anything so whats the big deal?
This shows how completely ignorant you are of the situation, yet you still have no trouble claiming authority on the subject. words
Thanks. It gets a bit old that every time I try to make a point about the trust 3 or 4 of the same brown nosing lackeys go right into accusations of various types trying to discredit my point some how as if what I went thru is an isolated incident that has nothing to do with all the other similar incidents of abuse here. The reason I am targeted so heavily for this is because unlike 90% of the people who make these complaints, I have an extensive trade history here with good ratings, making it very difficult for them to marginalize me as a scammer or sock puppet, so they have to resort to attacking my reputation, or threatening administrative action. This is also part of their strategy to bait me into having an off topic discussion so they can then report me and get my posts removed, as well as potentially ban me. I posted here in this thread because I find it relevant as I see many of the same patterns of behavior happening against tspacepilot. Yes he is very vocal, but considering the fact that the system is design to narrow his options to practically nothing except making posts, as long as he is not abusively spamming up the forum with endless topics, he should be allowed to talk for as long as he likes regardless if anyone likes it or not. In reality, this isn't hurting anyone. I find the fact that Badbear is trying to limit his ability to speak is telling and behavior I recognise from my own interactions when my words became inconvenient for him. When you catch his ire suddenly all kinds of rules that were never a problem before suddenly need to be enforced. As I said previously not only was I threatened with a permaban several times for being "off topic", even in my own threads, he even blocked me from sending him PMs in spite of the fact I have only sent him a handful of messages the entire time I have been here. He is just that annoyed with me and will do anything he can get away with to take punitive action in order to get me to shut up and tow the line. I find people here in general don't give a shit about anything until it effects them personally, or they can get some kind of entertainment value out of it, and I don't see any reason why this case is any different. As far as Tomatocage, I find his ratings are usually accurate, and he is reasonable in general, but unfortunately he does not apply the same careful attitude to his trust list. This is not the first time TC has given authority to trust system abusers and allowed them to continue with their behavior.

First of all didn't Flaxceed fall of the face of the earth? I don't see anything there about male birth control... so this is extra puzzling why you would recommend an AWOL seller that never even carried the product xD P.S., I am not buying I am selling.

It turns out that BadBear does not want me to have separate threads for the three separate issues. Therefore, I have posted below the content of the OPs of the three issues. I hope that people responding can make it clear which of these issues they want to talk about and we'll try to manage this thread as some sort of 3 in 1. Of course. They control the default trust system, allow it to be abused left and right, protect their clique, and throw everyone else to the fire so they can maintain the image of legitimacy. When I was dealing with VODs abusive ratings I received several threats of a permaban from Badbear claiming I was off topic, some times in my own OPs even. Yet anyone arguing against me off topic was allowed to go on for page after page after page, regardless of it being reported. They protect freedom of speech here, that is until you question them or if it makes their pals look bad. In that case you'd better STFU and fall in line or else suddenly you will find yourself breaking rules you didn't even know existed, and all their lackeys vying for a position in the default trust list will line up to take pot shots at you to earn brown nose points, or to protect their existing privileged position in default trust. If you ask others to speak on your behalf, then suddenly you are accused of "shilling" or using sock puppets. It is an organically formed coordinated effort to protect their position of control based on self interest. They have a direct monetary incentive to do so, because people seek to trade with those on the default trust more because if they rate you it will raise the trust they have visible by default. If you are new making a complaint, you are just a sock puppet or a scammer and dismissed. If you have a reputation, then they have something to take from you. Either way they still control the situation to their own benefit via selective enforcement of all these unwritten, unofficial rules that change depending on who it is being enforced upon. There is little concern for the individual here unless it serves some higher use to them. If you are rocking the boat to get some right wronged, you are more likely to get the hammer than help unless it serves them. Your situation with Quickseller appears to me to be a very similar scenario, and no one of much note will speak in your defense for fear of retribution from Quickseller or the staff.

My gf is working on her ph.d in biotoxicology right now. I talked to her several weeks ago about gmos:
We are already eating gmos en masse, it is just not crops but every other thing we buy. In germany the departmen for food and food law says approximately 60-80% of food in german stores was in some kind genetically modified.
I hope it is not unhealthy else we will have a huge problem.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be determined before it enters the food supply, not after? Well it is, it just doesnt need to be declared. For example gmos are used to feed animals that we later eat but there is no need to declare that on the meat. Same with micro bacteria and so on which is used in food processing/preparation etc. On what basis do you claim that they are safe?
