NATO can help the people of the country to eliminate authoritarian regimes. This is because democratic elections in these countries cannot be undertaken. It is the responsibility of people what country they will build in their country. Where the state has influence in Russia there is devastation, and where the West there is prosperity.

If NATO is so much bothered about democracy, then it should first overthrow the monarchies in the GCC region, especially in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The biggest oppressor of human rights in the world right now is Saudi Arabia, which happens to be a staunch ally of the NATO.

Their main goal is not to spread democracy but security.
NATO is created in order to protect Europe from USSR.
When USSR collapsed, they lost purpose but now they have new goal, fight against terrorism.
Regarding issue with north Korea, it's problem between both Korea, China and USA.
I don't see any role of NATO in this conflict.
Problem with north Korea can't be solved with war.
If America attack them, Seoul, capitol of South Korea, will be destroyed in a few hours.
So, diplomacy is only solution here.

Would you kill your own children if God commanded you to?
A perfectly valid legit question.

Please no attempts to derail the thread with nonsense like "God would never say that" or "God would never change the rules with murder" etc....



If God commanded me to kill my own children, I will do nothing but follow His command. If you read in the Bible, God tested Abraham to kill his own son Isaac as an offering to God. Which means he need to kill His son as an offering but when God saw He is willing to kill his son God stop him to kill his own son. Meaning, we are no different with Abraham in terms of obeying God's word.

I don't think that blind faith is good faith.
God isn't our master, but parent.
Parent have no choice but to love his children.
Do you remember story when God told Abraham that he will destroy city because of their sins.
Abraham tried to prevent it. He discussed with God, trying to influence God to change his decision.
So, relationship with God is never one sided, but it's more talk through prayers, sharing, giving and receiving...
So, as parent will never ruin our life, it's the same for God.



8403  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many ways are there to earn bitcoins? on: April 27, 2017, 09:35:52 AM
It is as many as how to earn money.  Though someone said the two category of earning money here (legal and illegal)  I would say there are lots of way but the best one is to find a job get payed and buy Bitcoin or get a job and be payed in Bitcoin.

The very best way is that you buy it like you said.
It is also the fastest way but there are users that prefer just working to be paid for bitcoin. I think that is because of the large price of bitcoin which just by looking is too expensive for others. Specially the ones who have been here for a long time. Just imagining how cheap it is before makes you think again if you will buy or not, add up the risk if it falls suddenly.

It's good advice to find a job and get paid in bitcoin, but such suggestion is not for everybody.
If you don't have specific knowledge or skills, like programming for example, you can't work for bitcoins.
For the most average users, only way to earn bitcoin is by collecting faucets, signature campaigns, HYIP, trading, casino et.

The ex-Minister of economy of France Emmanuel macron, the results of opinion polls, will win a landslide victory in the second round of the presidential election. It is expected that the Makron attains 64% of the vote, while his rival and former leader of "National front" marine Le Pen is ready to support only 36% of the French. In addition, the survey shows that the Macron in the second round they vote 93% of voters Benoit Amon and 77% Jean-Luc. At the same time, Le Pen can count on 37% of the votes of the electorate of françois Fillon.

I agree with you.
It's obvious that French people lost confidence in traditional political parties.
Both Macron and Le Pen are not candidates from the main parties, establishment.
French people send very serious warnings to the political mainstream, that they don't represent them any more.

In the second round french people will vote for stability, EU, NATO and new economy instead of political chaos Le Pen offering with her immigration politics.
She didn't offer any serious solutions to current political and economical issues in France.
War with EU is to radical move and french people understand it.




Dude....
Lepen I disagree but ok she's not the STANDARD party. Even if she's still greatly in the establishment as you put it.

But Macron? He's a fucking banker! He's a former minister!!! How the hell is that not "political mainstream"??

Macron is just the standard French politician. Just a bit younger.
Same ideas as usual, same methods, same speechs.
OMG even his speeches are copies of Hollande speeches!

I'm talking here about political mainstream only.
Macron started his own political movement last year and don't represent any of two main political parties in France.
For the first time in the last 50 years, main political parties will not have their candidate in the second round.

In fact, we know that God gave commandment to Abraham, to kill his son.
As we know, it was test of faith and when God sew that Abraham is absolutely obedient to him, He send angel to stop Abraham, before he kill his son.
We can't read it and understand literally.
Sometimes God test our faith, but he will never took innocent life.
In modern time we are already liberated thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, who willingly sacrifice his own life for our sins.
Because of it, we don't need to sacrifice our lives any more, but to accept Jesus in our lives.
So, God will not give any more such command but will ask us to return to him and change our lives (kill our ''old'' self and separate from sin).


8407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Do you see alts have chances against Bitcoins? on: April 26, 2017, 08:18:33 AM
Right now, bitcoin is on the top, number 1, it's obvious.
Bitcoin already have very strong foundation, many users, merchants, even bitcoin ATM, debit cards, many exchangers accept bitcoin etc.
All this is fine but in the Internet world it's very difficult to predict future, next 5, 10 or 20 years.
Do you remember Nokia, or AOL, for example?
They was industry leaders, but more advanced technology, smartphones and Google replaced them.
So, if something better comes, it will replace bitcoin.
We don't know yet what may happen in the future.




8408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin transaction fees fair? on: April 26, 2017, 08:09:07 AM
Everyone wanted higher bitcoin price and we achieved this but another problem become transaction fees. When bitcoin's price was low, we had to pay also low fee and now when it rised, we have to pay high fee in bitcoins and plus that high fee is more higher with current price. Is this fair? The higher the price, the more money miners have with bitcoin exchange.
To my mind when price becomes high, we have to pay low fee and when it becomes low, than fee has to be high. To my mind it had to be done like this from the begining.

I also remember that I could send any transaction with normal fee and receive confirmations in a few hours.
Recently, I had to wait more than 24 hours for confirmation and because of this experience, now I send each transaction with higher fee.
Yes, I don't like it, but still is cheaper to send funds with bitcoin than with paypal or WU, for example.
It's obvious that this situation must be resolved somehow because bitcoin may become less attractive to the new people.
I don't think that transaction fee is connected with btc price.
8409  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Christianity is Poison on: April 25, 2017, 03:17:19 PM
The Koran and the Bible are books written by people for the purpose of a certain benefit for them, so there can not be truth in them.

Actually, this statement is false. You can compare many aspects of life with what is written in the Bible, or the Koran, and see that the books are accurate to some extent. When the accuracy is sufficient for you in the areas you understand are true, you might assume that the whole book is true.

Cool

In fact, many of the prophecies from these books have been fulfilled, about the future, Jesus, Jews etc.
The Bible has correctly explained evolution, creation of the universe, everything.
For example, in the Bible you can read that God first created universe, than sun, earth, water, animals...
People wrote it 5-6 000 years ago, much before scientists discovered the same things.
Isn't it proof that Bible is inspired by God?
8410  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Japan is one of the leaders in the world in number of suicides. on: April 25, 2017, 03:09:08 PM
Japan is one of the leaders in the world by quantity of suicides among adults and among children. I don't understand why. I've never been in this country, but I think that it is a very beautiful and technologically developed country. I think it interesting to live. Does anyone know why this happens?

I have a few friends from Japan.
They told me about the great pressure under which people live in Japan.
Parents have very great expectations of their children.
They wants that their children go to better schools, in order to later get jobs in better companies, and thus better position and status in society.
It's very difficult to get position in better schools so parents push even small children, 5-6 years old, to learn old day and night.
If they don't succeed and don't enter a better school, then it is a disaster and a big shame for parents and relatives.
Children often break under such pressure and commit suicide.
8411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think are the biggest disadvantages of Bitcoin? on: April 25, 2017, 02:51:05 PM
Bitcoin has many advantages, which I do not say, say it a shortcoming. Is dealing with transactions too slow. It can only handle seven transactions a second, which seriously restricts its large-scale application.One of the disadvantages of bitcoin is that it leaves a money trail if a mixer or other means are not used and when you speak of bitcoin publicly people usually associate it with illegal activities

Yes, I agree with you.
In the past I never had problem with the transactions.
All my btc transactions completed in a few hours.
Recently, I had to wait more than 24 hours, so I had no choice but to increase fee.
So, bitcoin is not any more cheap to send, as before.
Also, in local newspapers, I read already a few negative stories about bitcoin.
It seems that some drug dealers bought drugs with bitcoin.
Other point is that I can't legally report my bitcoin earnings to the tax office.
They don't consider bitcoin as currency or financial assets.

Each and every Person is given only ONE life to live. Responsible 100% for it also. There is no past lives or future lives. But when a human dies their soul lives forever. With God or separated from a Holy God in a Place called Hell. We are only given "Look if you had One Shot One opportunity" ...... are you gonna let it go?" Eminem

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ms1uqdX6wXY Flame Featuring NF

(I started chatting here on page 19)

Yes, the soul lives forever, and the physical body has only one life. The more experienced the soul, the more intelligent it is in the following physical incarnations.

God created our physical body from the dust and in our nose He breathed the breath of life.
So, because of it, the body naturally dies and return to the dust, but our spirit returns to God and lives forever.
So, we live first in God's mind, as idea, and later God create us, from the dust and from His spirit.
Sometimes souls, spirituals beings with unaccomplished task on the earth, return to their relatives, and enter their bodies in order to influence them.
It's not reincarnation but other spirit trying to influence us to do something important for them, in order to liberate them from resentment and anger.
After that, they can be relieved of the bond with the earthly life and return to Heaven.

What a new cheap show and no pictures.

It's fake news, unfortunately.
I heard first time about it a few days ago.
It was report from some unknown news agency that Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had to run away from Mosul and that soldiers fro Syrian regular army and Russians arrested him.
Of course, no official  confirmation about it so it's obvious fake news.
He is probably hiding somewhere, to scared to go anywhere.
8414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much risk in bitcoin investement ? on: April 23, 2017, 12:49:51 PM
I just wanted to know that,what amount of risk is there in investing in bitcoins.
Right now i am planning to buy btc approx 3-4 btc and just hold them as i guess the price of bitcoin will increase in future and i will get some good profit.But i want to know what is the risk involved.Can bitcoin price decrease and is this right time to buy the bitcoin.
Every time is the right time to buy bitcoin when you are talking about the long term investment with it. Because the bitcoin is great for long term investment, And then the bitcoin price is increasing every year so bitcoin will be god if you buy it and sell it maybe after a few years it will became a huge earning. So for me no risk at all because I trust bitcoin.

I can't agree 100 % with your thinking.
Bitcoin, or any other investment, either in crypto currency, HYIP or trading, is always risk, don't forget it.
We can't know what can happen with bitcoin in the future.
It's possible that some other crypto currency will replace bitcoin and become more popular.
In such scenario, less people will be interested in bitcoin and bitcoin price will go down.
In my opinion, perfect time to buy bitcoin was a few years ago, when we could buy bitcoin relatively cheap, for $ 200 or 300.
Now, if we want the same profit, btc price should be around $ 6000-8000 what is very difficult to achieve.
So, please be realistic here and don't expect big profits.


8415  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The future of Bitcoin on: April 23, 2017, 12:43:00 PM
I think now. The future of bitcoin is gonna be bright and good. Considering the situation now the lowest price of bitcoin is 1000$ per 1 bitcoin. Many People has been recognizing bitcoin because of use and feature of it. Some Big Company also uses bitcoins for giving salary. Like in the freelancing job, online job like email chat support, customer services, admin support, online transcriptionist. Soo In the future they  will also use bitcoin in government such as for salaries and budgets progress.

It's true that bitcoin is the most popular crypto currency now.
As you said, many companies paying in bitcoin and also many merchants accepting bitcoin for payments.
Still, we can't predict future, what can happen in 10, 20, 100 years from now.
It's possible that some next ''big thing'' will replace bitcoin and become much more popular.
Remember Nokia?
Or AOl?
In Internet world things are changing very fast, but in the short term- 2.3 to 5 years I' optimistic about bitcoin.
8416  Other / Politics & Society / Re: War with North Korea postponed. on: April 22, 2017, 03:17:26 PM
I cannot really grasp why would Trump want to postpone the conflict between USA and North Korea.
He made that bombing in Syria and Afghanistan to make China allow that happen and to show that he is not afraid of bombing the independent country, he was just tired of North Korea hiding behind the China.

But now the decision he made is to not do this right now? I cannot understand what is he exactly doing, but I assume that nobody can except God and himself.
I can only believe that he really wants to see US fighting against the North Korea, they are getting themselves armed to stand against the whole world, when we cannot do anything about it because of the China.

The world cannot be afraid of such a small country as a North Korea, just because their leader is insane, and he is willing to start the nuclear war!

I don't think that you understand real issue here.
Seoul, capital of South Korea, with 10 million inhabitants, is just a half hour drive from the border with north Korea.
If America attack North Korea, in a few hours Seoul will be in ruins, and millions of people dead or wounded.
Even Trump understand this brutal reality and because of it he had no choice but to talk with China.
The only way to solve this crisis Is completely isolated North Korea, and speed up the collapse of the regime, what is inevitable.
There are no quick and easy solutions here.

People chose Chavez as A charismatic leader who pledged to return to the people their wealth and expel capitalists from the Venezuela.
We know how this experiment ended for Venezuela.
Socialism is good until it spends all the money and then comes hunger and poverty.
I don't think that Russia was so much behind Chavez.
In my opinion, Chavez followed Fidel Castro and Cuba much more.
Any way, Venezuela have no future now, with or without Russia.
Soon or later, current regime will collapse and we will see new chapter in the life of people in Venezuela, real democracy and freedom.


8418  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why bitcoin is not supported in some countries? on: April 22, 2017, 02:49:57 PM
It's not to complicate to answer this question.
Every year, tax laws are more and more strict in every country.
If I wants to open bank account, they will ask me many questions, KYC form as you know.
America even pushed Switzerland very hard, and they had no choice but to break their basic bank rule, bank secret.
In this way, America could find all American citizens, clients in Swiss bank,Who have tried to avoid paying taxes.
It's very big and important issue today.
So, instead of Swiss banks, people now have bitcoin.
They can earn money, legally or illegally, and hide it in the bitcoin wallet.
In such way, they will avoid paying taxes.
There is no way to control bitcoin, and governments don't like it.
Criminals using bitcoin is other issue but I think that main issue is how to control people financially.
Bitcoin is our tool to avoid government control and they don't like it at all.

It's obvious that Putin wants to restore old Russian empire or USSR.
He is doing everything in his power to keep control over the territory of the former USSR, ruining governments that oppose him, like in Ukraine or Georgia, and supporting friendly governments in Belarus, for example.
North Korea, Libya, Iraq, Syria etc. for Putin are just chess figures, in his game for global power and dominance.
Putin also using natural resources, like oil and gas, in order to dominate Europe and other countries.
Putin don't care about nuclear weapons in North Korea.
For him is only important to create as many problems as possible to America, so that he can have more freedom to do what he wants in other countries.

Everyone believes in God, some just suppress their knowledge of Him. I have felt his presence, many times. I can see intelligent design all around me

It's true but just people call God differently.
For some people, God is ''nature'' or ''Heaven'' or some universal force etc.
Some people believe in heavenly fortune or something else.
So, it's common for all of us to believe in something what is more powerful or above us.
It's part of human DNA.
We can't escape from reality that we are created beings.
It means that we need our creator to give us direction, purpose of life.
