well for sure there are laws and rules that would be laid out for people to follow and i think if you stay within the boundaries of those laws then you don't need to worry about surviving a dictatorship. just do normal things without breaking any laws. of if you're not agreeing to how things are being done then leave the country and go somewhere else. although i don't think that option is available to a lot of people but really there's pretty much nothing you can do but to go with the flow to survive. anyways not all dictatorships are actually bad

I believe it exists. i mean seriously we can't think that we are the only ones here considering how big the universe is. i find it impossible that there are no other living beings aside from us. we may not just have any contacts yet but definitely there should be other life out there that we are yet to know about or yet to be informed about

yeah it would be quite confusing if we think about how this all adds up. it would be more difficult to think that this all happened without an architect that orchestrated all this. i think we humans are the ones who made up the notion of god as god. someone who lives in heaven with all the angels and all that. for me i believe that someone greater than us exists and that things are not made randomly. there is order in everything and i think it's not a coincidence that it's made this way. although it's also good as people who believe in god and all he represents tend to be good people for fear of going to hell.

yeah times then are a lot different from the times now so i think comparing the numbers would be irrelevant. although i think there's a point in comparing the concept. i don't think muslems should be singled out as the religion of violence and there are a lot of good people from islam that doesn't share the views of some fanatics and extremists. we don't generalize christians during the inquisition so i think it's wrong to generalize muslems with how these terrorists are acting today. even today there are christians who do terrible things but we don't base our judgement of christianity entirely on their actions as there are far more better christians as well. i think it should be the same as well with how we look at our muslim brothers and sisters

well not really. if you invest, of course you're thinking still of earning with your investments so you won't be blindly investing on something that won't give you a decent chance to earn. you'll study and research where you'll put your money on and choose which would give you a better chance with your investments. it's not that you always lose when investing no it doesn't work that way. in saving, yes you're sure that your money is secure but that's it. it won't have any movement and you lose the chance of earning from what you have. i'm not saying that saving is less important here but for me having both is better than choosing one over the other

yeah i think so too. and i agree that in the future, though it won't replace the dollar or any other currency, it will be a very god alternative to make online purchases much like how credit cards are being used now. let's face it, bitcoin has a lot of benefits to provide if more and more people are using it. but we still need real money for our everyday purchases and i don't think bitcoin would be able to cover for the that anytime soon.

well i think all of us would agree to what both of you said. the foremost way of having constant earnings is to have someone pay you and that's by having a good job. though for starters, i agree that you can do business on the side because eventually we can't keep our jobs forever. having a stable business that caters to what most people need is a very good fall back plan as it would almost all the time, provide you with stable and constant income.

i agree. physical money is still the way most transactions are normally done every single day. it's government ran. it's accessible to most people. it doesn't need online connection. bitcoin is good for transferring money and doing online transactions but it still is dependent on whether there is online access. compared to fiat, which as you've said is how most transactions were done, bitcoin would require a lot more to be fully accepted and i think with how things are going now, fiat would still be the major form of currency that we will all have even in the future

well i agree with you in that dude however you would still have to convert the bitcoins that you received to cash for you to have more use of it. the thing is that we don't have that much use of bitcoin as it is in today's world as there are not much companies that allows you to use bitcoin for payments. also for everyday consumption and purchases, it would be very hard to find, if we can find anywhere at all, to use bitcoin. there are a lot of benefits that we can get for using bitcoin but i think it may take a bit more time before we can use it as regularly as we use cash

Yeah i agree with what both of you said there. there's no need to favor one over the other as fiat and bitcoin should be working hand in hand together and at this time, fiat plays a lot more important role in society than any other form of currency that we have. so i also believe in fiat and i think fiat would still be the major form of currency that the world would be using in the coming several years more.

Well dude how you said it, that entertainment is the main reason for gambling, is how it should be done. However that is not he case for a lot of people. First, gaining and losing money definitely affects people's perspective on gambling. Most would say that gambling just for entertainment is a bit boring than if you have monetary wagers, and i think that kind of thinking is where gambling becomes wrong

You got that right dude. As for now, fiat would still be the main unit of currency that people use whether we agree to it or not. Also, who said that bitcoin is also not prone to inflation? It's good that we have savings through bitcoin but definitely we can't live in today's world without fiat. Not yet that is.

Same here lol. Playing slots fir me is just to kill time and money if you have a lot to spare. I can't see how you'll win big with your chances as you'd rely here entirely on a lucky spin. Especially digital slots, which i think can be manipulated by gambling houses and online servers. So i agree with you dude if you're going to gamble, might as well do it through poker or other types that doesn't just make you wait and stare for a result

This topic is veeerry tricky. Of course if you think about it, the fact that it's someone close to you, your mother in this case, this topic would be pretty much a taboo for most people. But for me it would situational. Of course i wouldn't eat my mother alive. But for example, like in the movie alive, a plane crash. People died. You're in the middle of nowhere and you have very limited supplies. You wouldn't be left with much of choice but to suck it all up and eat the people who died there whoever they are to stay alive. It's not like you're doing it for leisure i mean who would even arrive at such a thought right? But again it's situational at the extreme level.

I don't its mean't to be like that though dude. Being human, it's pretty much impossible for us not to feel hate for people who do harm to us. It's just that hating people for the reason that they belong to a religion that we don't agree on is a bit off for me. Would you hate for example a neighbor who is pretty much a good person for being a muslim? I mean let's face it, even if islam is now being shown in a bad light because of islamic extremists, there are a great number of them who just wants to live their normal peaceful lives. For me, i treat people by their actions not by what they believe in.

Wow. That's as racist as it can get dude. It's sad to think that these times, where we thought that equality is prevalent in society, a lot of people still think that people in certain race or culture or color are better than others. I don't share your views about this as for me intelligence doesn't depend on color or race. Should we consider ourselves more intelligent than black people when we're the ones thinking so highly of ourselves? I don't really believe smart people would go down to that level of thinking.

I don't really share how vegans feel about eating meat as ever since people have been eating livestock and poultry for sustainance. Let's face it, you won' t get all nutrients you need simply by consuming vegetables and fruits. Although i respect vegans for what they stand for but for me we need meat or at the least me and my family need meat so sustain what we need nutritionally

I don't really believe that islam in general incites hate. same as with any other religion, there are certain people within islam that has a different understanding of what it teaches and there would also be others that share those views. You can't really say that Christianity doesn't have anything like this as there are a lot of sects that say they branch from Christianity yet their teachings are a bit different from others. take for example what happened in Jonestown, in Guyana. the idea came from a charismatic leader, a Christian leader that is, and people believed in him. I think this goes as well with islam. so hating islam in general for me would be a bit shallow

yeah we can't really tell while we're sitting comfortably enjoying the luxury of having all our needs available to us. sometimes, when we're devoid of our basic needs and desperation comes in, we won't have time to think about what we're doing is moral or not. as long as I won't be the one to kill a person for consumption, I'm not closing my mind to whether I would be able to eat a cadaver or not.
