9301  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Germany Tells EU to Divert 10% of All Funds to “Migrants” on: May 29, 2016, 04:38:25 PM
The problem with this is that Merkel didn't consult the other member states when she issued her invite to the migrants. There was a treaty in place - the Dublin accord, and she just tore it up. And has created massive problems for front-line countries like Greece through which people are tramping to get to Germany.

Merkel's actions can be perfectly justified. The European Union depends on Germany for most of its funds, and therefore the Germans think that they must have complete control over its policies and actions.The other "donor" nations such as United Kingdom and Belgium are either too small, or are not fully integrated in to the Eurozone to dictate its actions.

I agree with you.
This issue is not just about the money.
It seems that in time of crisis (every time) EU is to much divided and can't decide anything.
It's good that at least one European leader is not afraid to take the lead and decide something, and at least try to find solution, while other EU politicians just avoiding  to take responsibility and decide anything.
In the long term such divided EU don't have chance to survive.
Until now, Merkel already saved EU twice, during crisis with Greece and now with immigrants.


9302  Other / Politics & Society / Re: War Crimes of Imperial Japan: A Lesson In Moral Equivalence for Mr. Obama on: May 29, 2016, 04:32:26 PM
I still dont understand why you are making a connection between the use of atomic bombs and the atrocities of imperial japans army.

Following your argument we gotta nuke every nation on this planet and the usa would be one of the first in line.

As far as i know most militaries and historians are condemning the firebombing of dresden.

Additionaly Einstein was condemning the build and use of the atomic bomb after hiroshima and nagasaki too - you can read that in every Einstein biography.
Einstein was trying to force the build of the atomic bomb because he knew nazi germany and imperial japan were researching it and would have used it without a blink of an eye - something he didnt realize about the americans.


There is no moral (equivalence) in using atomic bombs.

In the war only winners deciding what is right and what is moral.
Looser have no rights or voice.
US government didn't care about any human rights in japan, they was only interested how to quickly finish WWII and save a lotr lives of American solders.
Their initial wish was right and legitimate but final decision, to use atomic bomb, is really not according to human and moral laws.
But, again, their decision was pragmatic and fulfilled final goal, to quickly finish war and save a lot lives.
100 000 people was sacrificed in order to save million.

Have you guys ever used bitcoins like a payment method?
How hard it is to explain to someone what's bitcoin?
In your country there are many stores where you can use the bitcoins?
Do your friends related to bitcoin? Do they know what exactly is a bitcoin?


Until now, I used Bitcoin as payment method only a few times, mostly for some online projects and programs.
Yes, it's very hard to explain Bitcoin to my friends, and even wife Smiley
I tried a few times and finally give up. most of them think that this is SCAM.
No, in my country there are only a few stores which accept bitcoin.
No, my friends are not interested or related to Bitcoin.
Can't wait to prove them otherwise!
9304  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How much bitcoins in total you lost ? on: May 29, 2016, 04:21:22 PM
Well, I can't give exact answer.
I don't like gambling or HYIP programs and I don't invest my BTC there.
I invested my BTC funds only in my own project, new online company I'm starting with my business partners.
I hope this project will bring good results but if not, foesn't matter, at least I tried and spend my BTC funds for some concrete and realistic project, not just some simple gambling or another HYIP.
Time will show everything.

This is stupid statement but it's very sad that some radical Muslims actually believe it.
If they believe in something crazy like it, it's not shocking that some of them decide to fight Western culture and tradition.
If people are not properly educated about their own religion and outside world, and if they are brainwashed by their religious leaders, they continue to live in ignorance, and to hate all others, who are different.
I hope that this guy don't have much followers.
9306  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Monsanto want to dump their shares, would you buy some ? on: May 28, 2016, 02:38:31 PM
No because I don't like their products, they produce poisons, not healthy and natural things.
If I can't agree with policy or products in some business, I can't also invest there.
Personally, I hope that they will collapse as company and have no desire to help them.
If this happen, I'm sure many people will celebrate Smiley
9307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How is bitcoin most important to you? on: May 28, 2016, 02:34:54 PM
I can't say right now that Bitcoin is the most important thing in my life.
I have family, friends, offline job, loan in the bank etc.
So, all this things are, right now, more important to me than bitcoin, but this can change.
I'm really optimistic about the future of Bitcoin and in the long term I'm sure Bitcoin will replace traditional currencies and become widely accepted for financial transactions around the world.
When this happen, its value will surely increase a lot and my financial problems will be finally solved Smiley
9308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin at $475 on bitstamp!! on: May 28, 2016, 02:30:53 PM
since yesterday the prices movement looks pretty fast and finally after several months boring time and today bitcoin already reach to 500 and i think this is the highest prices in 2016 and i wish the prices will be reach to $550 in this monday

I think we all have such wishes Smiley
Any way, it was obvious that soon or later this will happen and that price of Bitcoin will go up.
Like in every market, price depends on supply and demand and I feel that we have now more demands for Bitcoin and because of this price is going up.
Of course, price will not raise forever but it great to enjoy this ride Smiley
My prediction is that in a next 2-3 years Bitcoin may reach even 1 000 $ goal.
9309  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What Next for Greece? Loan Averts Crisis but Debt Still Huge on: May 26, 2016, 11:53:36 AM
Greece have very serious debt problem and it's not easy to solve.
They have already reduced pensions, increased taxes, and accepted much more as lenders demanded of them but still it seems this is not enough.
The final solution will probably have to include debt forgiveness but the question is if the Germans will accept such solution.
If not, probably Greece will not be able to repay all its debts, and the crisis will deepen and prolong.
Germany and Merkel are the key for the solution of this problem.
9310  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your opinion of gun control? on: May 26, 2016, 11:45:23 AM
Guns should be banned forever. It should be implemented asap

Can you explain it more, please?
If you think that average people don't need guns, I can agree with you but if you think that nobody should have any weapons, police, army, hunters etc. I don't think it's realistic idea.
Also, in some countries like USA it's way of life, even protected by the constitution, that people can have guns so I don't think this can change so easy.
It's eternal question if the state can prohibit that people own a gun for self-defense, specially if they live in not secure areas.

9311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you like to hoard your BTC or spend it? on: May 26, 2016, 11:39:49 AM
I do both.
Part of my BTC funds I invested in several business opportunities and rest of funds i keep in my BTC wallets, waiting for price increase.
I hope that both ways will be profitable soon for me Smiley
It will be great if BTC value will not change so often, going up and down all the time, but it's nothing we can do about it.
I like to see that money works for me so just to put some funds in my BTC wallets and wait, doing nothing, never was option for me.
9312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bitcoin trusted to put your real money on: May 26, 2016, 11:32:34 AM
Well.. its an investment
It not without any risk.

But generally.. yes.. its trusted to put your hard earned money on it.

Yes, I agree with you.
Bitcoin is still new, revolutionary product, still not widely accepted by the world etc.
Also, its value is still not stable and many users see Bitcoin only as investment.
Because of this, in this early stage, still is possible to gain or loose money with bitcoin in the short term but generally speaking it's very safe to keep funds in BTC wallets.
Weak point is that we can't protect value of BTC funds but hopefully this will change when we become mainstream.
9313  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: May 24, 2016, 05:41:50 PM
I worked with them and lived among them and noticed they are just people like you and me with a different belief system. I thought having a muslim as a president would change people's views on them but it just made it worst it seems.

Exactly, they are people like you and me, nothing more, nothing less.
It's really very wrong call all this hard working and loyal Muslim citizens terrorist because of a few bad Muslim people.
In every religion we can find evil people or terrorist, not just Islam.
We should judge people based on the character only, not based on their religion, race, nationality, sex etc.

Is any politician trustworthy?
Honestly?
I think all of you know answer Smiley
So, basically, in every election we have to choose not who is the best candidate but who is the least bad candidate.
It's sad reality.
So, based on this, I think that Hillary is better choice than Trump or Sanders.
9315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: paypal or bitcoin? on: May 24, 2016, 05:13:25 PM
I don't use PayPal's services anymore.I think if I remember well it has been more than 1 years when I made last transaction through PayPal.While I have used Bitcoin for many things like transfers in shape of remittance and online services.Bitcoin is better and innovative than PayPal,there is no comparison in these both.

You are right but there is one problem here.
Still many online merchants don't accept Bitcoin, only Paypal.
So, if you have to buy something and Paypal is only choice, what can you do?
Hopefully soon or later Bitcoin will be popular as Paypal but this is still not the case, unfortunately.
Waiting for the day we will become mainstream Smiley

9316  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Japan considers making bitcoin a legal currency on: May 24, 2016, 05:10:03 PM
I really want to know how they manage to control the transactions(taxes purposes).
of course everybody and every country interesting about japan plan to regulate bitcoin,and this will make japan become role model for first country who do that,and i'm corious about that too,i wish its not hard to accept.

It will not be surprise if Japan becomes first country in the world which fully accept Bitcoin as a legal currency.
This is very well developed country, specially in technology and obviously they have good foundation for Bitcoin.
How they will manage to control the transactions (taxes purposes)?
Well, why they should manage control over it?
Main purpose of Bitcoin is anonymity any way.
In many countries there is no tax on capital, only on earnings.
Japan can simple proclaim that there is no tax on Bitcoin but people have to report tax when they exchange Bitcoin to some other, hard currency and cash out on their bank accounts.

Shock as 15-year-old student filmed on Snapchat having sex with 25 boys in school toilet





A TEENAGE girl had sex with up to 25 male students inside a school toilet cubicle before a video of the orgy was shared on social media.

The school has launched an investigation after footage of the sex session involving the 15-year-old pupil was circulated on Snapchat.

An incident report by South Fort Myers High School in Florida said the girl admitted to teachers she had had sex with multiple male students.

Eric Struble, a father to two 15-year-old girls who attend the school, said the community's reaction was

"shock, disbelief, concern and sadness".

He said: "Somebody should have been notified or been aware of what was going on."

The incident  took place inside the main male toilets on the second floor of the high school, outside normal school hours on Wednesday morning.

A school spokeswoman said no one had been arrested and that the the matter would be dealt with internally.

watch the video:

http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/672463/Schoolgirl-15-Snapchat-sex-boys-school-toilet
POINT 1..Don't want to look at your video of a 15 year old girl

POINT 2..The young girl and her family doesn't need you to make them feel bad as they already feel by showing more of the world her video.. ..At the end of the day who as she hurt no one but her own pride AND her families pride..She might be getting practice to be the next jenna jameson
It's not the end of the world and it's none of your business SO BUZZ OFF. LEAVE HER ALONE..
YOU HORRIBLE PERSON..Talk about something interesting you boring plantpot Grin




So you think I posted this to laugh at the girl?

This girl needs help ... the video  not shows her face, the news channel published the video was not to harm the girl, the news channel does its job is up to you to behave in society.

The answer i wanted to know how you can help and WHAT would take this girl to do it. No judgement!

I do not know if you already was in a poor country and have viewed meaning pain.

In poor countries like mine. girls drop out of school because of parental pressure, many girls sell their body to have food.

Orphanages people do not have something called "future"


I agree with you that this is very serious issue and that we have to find the way how to help her, not to judge her.
It's obvious that school as institution failed here but also her parents, community etc.
Of course, all of us have free will and can choose life how we wants, but if someone is just 15 years old, such person is not mature enough to make such choices.
I'm sorry for her because now her life is probably ruined and she will need a lot help and support to overcome this trauma.
Such story is also warning signal to other parents, to understand that something like this can also happen to their children, if they neglect their own kids and focus only on work, career, business etc.


9318  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you hate muslems? on: May 22, 2016, 02:18:26 PM
What the heck is this question/topic about?

You should not hate any humans regardless of they race/religion.

And it's not because you are muslem that you are bad you can not just put all them in 1 pot, you not select what will be your race/relegion before you are born  Roll Eyes

I agree with you.
We should judge people based on their character, no based on religion, race, nationality, sex etc.
Yes, I hate terrorist and hate evil but have respect to many good Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists in the world...
In the past we had also terrorists who was Christians, Buddhists, Atheist etc. but we don't hate whole group because of a few bad people, and we shouldn't think that all people in some religious or national group are all the same.
It's not right.

9319  Other / Off-topic / Re: Worst mistake you did with Bitcoin? on: May 22, 2016, 02:07:34 PM
My mistake was that I didn't buy bitcoin last year when the price was $220 if I would have bought at that time I would have already doubled my profits.

If you starts to think this way, you can feel that you made mistake because you also didn't hear about Bitcoin beforew and didn't buy it for $150, $ 100, $50 and so on, you can continue in this way until the very beginning of BTC.
In the future, in 10 or 20 years, someone will regret that he/she didn't buy Bitcoin for $220 or $400 but for $1000 or $5000 Smiley
Don't complain, you will still make profit with BTC.
9320  Economy / Speculation / Re: Look Bitcoin is going Down? on: May 21, 2016, 02:30:19 PM
Within 2 months Bitcoin is going up very fast, but in this month bitcoin price has been stopped and now Bitcoin's price is going down...IN this time, bitcoin is $446 and before week Bitcoin was $471.
WHY?
You know after one and half month ago HALVING is coming.
But i think that it is not suitable price of BITCOIN.
What do you think about it.

You have to understand something here.
Bitcoin is in the market so its price depends on supply and demand, like in every other market in the world.
So, if more people buying, price is going up.
If more people selling, price is going down.
There is no mystery here but also no reason for panic.
It's normal situation and it's happening all the time.
Now, price is going down, in a several weeks will go again up and so on.
I suggest you not to look BTC price to often, and worry to much about it, but to concentrate on collecting as much Bitcoin as you can get Smiley


If that is the case, since bitcoin price is going down, is it right to say that many will buy bitcoin and will result for the price to go up again?

Yes, this scenario will happen but we can't say when it will happen. It depends on the users. At a time when the number of people who buy bitcoin exceeds the number of people who sell bitcoin, BTC price will start to rise again.
