Sure Captain Specifics, I meant most people, as for the source, it's a bit like with evolution, when you look using your eyes instead of silly propaganda you'll realise that people get along with each other fine most of the time, you can even see it amongst your friends, you do have friends don't you?

It will depend on the community, but you can be pretty sure that sellers etc. in the community would take it pretty personally if they're friends got threatened with guns that they sold, the problem with taking the position of a government loyalist is that these people don't seem to realise that most don't want to fight or have violence happening around them constantly, the idea that violence happens purely because of guns is just daft by itself too, particularly when I can get my hands on all sorts of explosives and chemical weaponry at your average hardware store.

You don't have to have a government in order to live peacefully, in fact, most people do it regardless of the police walking around their neighbourhoods.

Nope, I don't think there should be any limits, not when it comes to government law anyway, it should be down to the discretion of the seller whether or not they think it's a good idea to sell to certain people or not.

Bitcoin - Tax avoidance isn't just for the rich anymore

I'm not necessarily a gun advocate ( because I don't believe that guns are the most effective thing out there ) but the idea behind everyone owning a gun is actually very logical because the idea is people wouldn't dare attack each other since they know they have as much strength as them and will be able to wipe them out. It's the same kind of logic with MAD, how do you think we haven't devolved into World War 3 yet? It's precisely because any country worth invading has nuclear weapons of course, Afghanistan being that rare exception of being mostly unassailable because of it's terrain and weather despite having no nuclear weaponry whatsoever or any official government.

I do think however that your average citizen before buying a weapon should be educated and trained properly in their use to prevent accidents.

I'd pay for anything with Bitcoin, seriously, who needs conventional money now? The only physical stuff I'd take if I had the option right now would be gold or silver.

I don't think it will be a simple case of people taking sides here, I think there will be many different reactions to Bitcoin, much like with the collapse of the Euro which will be happening soon, I suspect though because it directly threatens them a lot of the super powers will be predictable and try to make it illegal and stamp it out but smaller countries may take a different view and actually use it to boost their economy, perhaps they'll even increase currency competition within their own country.

I'm no programmer at all just to say this is just from experience so I couldn't say really but spam prevention tools aren't all that clever, it's a bit like with some anti-virus' where they can get extremely twitchy if something unfamiliar to their database shows up on your PC so I suspect that it will be the anti-spam version of that.

The last president who actively tried to stop private banks printing money ended up assassinated, good thing this guys idea is so daft that the people who did the assassination won't even bother with him.

I doubt many of them know about Bitcoin, I suspect that someone looking to take over the country will conveniently come in with an alternative though, for instance, a new printable fiat currency like the Euro but with some kind of marketing gimmick attached to it like Greek independence. It all depends sadly on how knowledgable the Greek people are on economics but sadly western countries have done a fantastic job of manipulating everyone and trying to keep us ignorant for decades.

Do you have them listed as safe/added to contacts/not spam? I often find that when it comes to under the radar type stuff not just Bitcoin that it's just the anti-spam kicking in because the software thinks that the emails are coming in from an unusual source and of course, those messages you're showing are automated, so that will most likely be setting it off as well.

Mining really isn't a way to make money, the only thing I see it as is a thing to do for fun or to transfer your own wealth, if you're going to do something with Bitcoin work for it, at least in this economy you have a chance compared to the dead inflationary currencies we're in now, it's actually really refreshing seeing all these new companies, sites and work postings spring up all over the place.

As a few of you will already know I already accept Bitcoins, I just need to get you all products to buy

If there's Bitcoin involved, I'm definitely interested, I've been practising artwork for about 2 years now and I've linked my photobucket account here where I put all my artwork, even the stuff I haven't finished etc. anything basic involving a computer I can do such as copy typing/writing is very easy for me.

lol I doubt it's just UPS, I've forgotten the company but for Christmas I got a bunch of Jewellery tools, the guy gave the wrong package by accident and came back to swap, from now on I will be sure to never order anything during December and the new year.

Is this for Bitcoin related stuff or just in general? Because if I had to pick one

http://www.pencil-animation.org/ - Quite easily the most awesomely powerful and simple little piece of animation software I have come across yet, it still seems to be very much in beta though, I should stress this isn't advanced enough yet to do any real detail and stuff but it would be great for getting started and making sure all the movement in your drawings are good, what I would do if I were to use this professionally is sketch out what I want and then export all the images and finish them off in photoshop.

I need to do more research in that case thanks for that Dalkore, I'd like to know the sources for where you got that from though.

The governments of western countries are mostly made up of old white men who can't even operate a modern mobile phone easily.

.... You could have bought almost two years of web hosting with that depending on where you went to for it >_<

What are you going to do then about people who whine for others to search for old posts instead of making duplicate threads?
