Yeah, my own brother is deaf, so it was a bit ugly to me too.

But I'm way past thinking that the answer to "do you believe in god" is important.  Some do, some don't, and that's no reason to like or dislike any of them.



Very insightful, I agree; don't hate a person for their religion, hate them for who they are Tongue  I don't have anything against Christians, I just hate bigoted ignorant assholes like just_me.

Why would the NWO want a currency that they don't control.

^-- lol.

A DNA record of financial transactions for everyone on the planet

Control the exchange and use and you control the people

Does it need any further explanation?

Yes; what do you need an exchange for if you have one world currency?

How do you get one world currency without first controlling the exchanges?

How do you control exchanges out of the hands of government?

Name even one?

https://localbitcoins.com/

Not the website, but the concept; how do you control individual exchanges without controlling the individual?  We can go to 1984 level of control but by then, what good is a currency like Bitcoin?--they'll have introduced a centrally controlled points system that's a whole lot easier to manage.

Anyway I'm just gonna skip to the end of this and say, the only real solution to a one world currency, or the NWO scenario in general, is to take control of your own government.  Anything is possible as long as you're willing to believe the powers that be are interested in what's best for everyone; the worst bit is, those who fear the NWO are those who are ushering its existence.  Bitcoin is a completely unrelated technology with endless application in both anarchism and totalitarianism and all the political philosophies in between, and bonker is bonkers.

Maybe I should've clarified that the concept of anarchist theory is not completely alien to me. I am familiar with the general topic but have not yet decided to master all points of the theory. So you could say had a taste of it, but haven't made a meal out of it yet. Wink

Ha ha well, nobody's really had a taste of it, aside from that one time; what makes you believe anarchism is not productive and bad for business?

Yeah, anarchist theory is not something I have indepently studied, mainly because it's more disorganized philosophy than theory and has little to no practical value in today's political climate.

If you've never studied it, how would you know?  To compare, how accurate would your opinion of saltwater taffy be if you've never eaten it before?  You might think it has a terrible taste, or perhaps a good one, but it's impossible to tell without trying it; anarchism at the moment is the equivalent of reading the ingredient label of saltwater taffy and saying, "Yep, that sounds pretty good to me" or "No this is awful", but it's hard to really make this opinion without first giving yourself time to understand it, wouldn't you agree?  It's not as fast as just eating the taffy and quickly realizing how you'd like it, but we gotta get enough people to want to try it before we can know.

Never know; in the long run, it's likely to be worth far more than that.  It could also crash to nothing.  There's really no wrong time to buy, so long as you're saving, so don't fret about the price much.

being a religious nut on this site.. that's a first, isn't it? bitcoiners are usually against the establishment or institutions that are designed to keep you a slave.. and that's what organized religion is, for the most part.

Yes, you're absolutely correct; the belief that these governing bodies are doing everything in the world, while they do nothing but order people to do things, is very similar to how a belief in a magical sky-man alters reality upon his own command, only after a believer has done so.
931  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Feeling comfortable with the word "anarchist". on: November 20, 2013, 04:37:55 AM
Well, I guess I'll put in my two cents...I am not an anarchist and I doubt you're going to find many people who self identify with that radical ideal.  Anarchy is not productive at all and is quite simply bad for business. A true anarchist would likely also be considered a domestic terrorist.

Yes, this is the typical viewpoint of anarchism by the public Grin

Is it safe to say you've also never studied any amount of anarchist theory?
932  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Feeling comfortable with the word "anarchist". on: November 20, 2013, 04:28:03 AM
It is a strange word, since its been beaten to death by these bastards:



You don't necessarily have to get comfortable with this word however; I think what is most uncomfortable is how others will perceive you for it, since you and I understand what anarchism really is and we're not worried about any strange looks between each other Tongue  Technically speaking, we're all statists, since statism isn't an option, even if we hate it.  If asked, I'd probably say I was an advocate of voluntaryism, since it can't be misconstrued as "confused republican" as libertarianism seems to somehow have adopted, and doesn't involve any strange looks as would entail with anarchist.  Otherwise, I can't say I'm put off by the word; it is often misunderstood as "chaos, violence, survival of the fittest", ironically enough for these are the qualities of totalitarianism, but at the same time, I wonder if it's necessary to point out the true meaning of anarchism to these people; since anarchism is the natural evolution of a rational society, there is no need to advocate for anarchy, since it happens by itself; you don't need to propagandize anarchists, as another way of putting it.

Anyhow, I believe I started considering myself an anarchist shortly after considering myself a libertarian; upon understanding the difference between authority and liberty in government, it was easy to see where I could have the greatest amount of liberty and how I could achieve such a goal, so I rolled with that.  So far I've only been attacked for being a "libtard", oddly enough; you'd figure anarchism would be the odd one out.

Right; if you have no money, you have no property, for if you had property, you would need to pay a property tax, and because you had no money to pay your property tax, you could not own property (at least, not for very long), therefore you would be a vagrant.

First of all, not every place in the world (or even in the United States) has property taxes.
Secondly, not everyone who doesn't own a house is a vagrant. They might rent. They might live with someone else.

You could also get by as a mooch, now that I think about it; you'd be at the whims of whomever was housing you but that's no fun.  It'd be hard to find a job; most everyone pays in fiat.  I suppose you could barter...

I totally agree that it's inconvenient to live without any fiat currency.

It's also inconvenient to live without a phone, or without a computer, etc.

It's a wee bit more than just inconvenient, is the point I'm trying to get across.

Lets assume we are American, for example; Obama decides everyone needs healthcare and will fine you 100$ for every month you don't get it.

Now what?  How do you move to another nation without fiat?
935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why I'm boycotting bitcoins. on: November 19, 2013, 06:19:20 PM
Bitcoin is completely voluntary. In contrast to FIAT Currencies nobody forces you to use Bitcoin and hopefully no one ever will.

That really sums it up, and it's fundamental difference compared to fiat. No one is forced to use it, but people do want to use it because they know there is no central issuing agency that can play with inflation however they fucking want.

No one really has to use fiat currency either.

True; they could always sit in jail for failing to pay their taxes Smiley

Do you know of any case where anyone has ever been put in jail for failing to pay their taxes, when they had no money to pay their taxes with?

That would imply vagrancy; I'm not sure which is better.  In one case, you get shelter and meals, but in the other case, you're less likely to be sexually assaulted...

Vagrancy? I said no money (i.e. no fiat currency). I didn't say no assets. The whole premise of this is that it's not necessary for someone to ever possess fiat currency.
