It's going to be a hard case, knowing that every person in this world have different views and various religious beliefs or even without beliefs. It's not that simple if we could've done that, definitely it's going to be a peaceful world now. For sure, there would be a lot more destructive weapons to destroy someone or a country probably. It's hard to think that there are actual people that would launch a nuclear missile to somewhere and just kill people for fun. I hope that doesn't happen.
9622  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Your opinion on recreational drug use on: June 20, 2017, 02:43:19 AM
I think the marijuana is the only recreational drug that actually has benefits.
It sucks that people misuse it and that's why it can't pass even for medicinal use. Keep in mind, though, that there are negative effects of smoking too much pot or using it for non-medicinal purposes. When overused or abused, pot can lead to dependency and mess with your memory and emotions.


Have you tried using marijuana? I think it's just the abuse that makes it so consistently used because it definitely has medical benefits. Too much of it would create more evil things, being high is something that you shouldn't always do because it could lead to something that you would regret in your life. I agree with you.
9623  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Where would society be without the internet? on: June 20, 2017, 02:41:02 AM
We are still using pigeons to send our mails to our recipient. Kiddin aside, I guess without internet would give people a lot chances to do more and to be less lazy. Why? Internet makes our life easier. Without internet every individuals would really spend time to be more productive.
It's probably like the Assassin's Creed time, is that it? That's kind of funny. I think that's the effect of too much easy searching on the internet, and it's making people lazy because it's easy now. Google is now a verb, so what's up with that right, that's an awesome update to our lives. We can imagine it by a patch in our lives, to improve. It depends on the person really.

I think I get what you mean, and you're saying that some people are killing American children to make something more valuable, or something like that. The shocking thing that happened would cause a rise in value, is that it? I don't think it works like that, and maybe it decreases the value instead of increasing it.
9625  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How do you feel about the death penalty? on: June 20, 2017, 02:12:59 AM
The death penalty should be the only punishment for crimes involving murder. The only problem is not just sentences, but probably easier to get rid of judicial errors than to help the offender to escape just punishment.

Probably, but if you ask me, death penalty should be used for cold blooded killings, mass killings,... basically for those with life sentences, because they'll be rotting in that prison for life, living off of tax payers money. Also, those who are arrested for fiighting, destruction of property, football hooligans in my country,... should be just sent to the coal mines and make them dig for coal for a few years every day of the week. Unleast they'll save some money like that.
Death is not the answer to the problems, it's just that it's hard to stop someone who has already been to the dark side and it's not going to be helpful to the world and it feels like it's okay to kill them, but we shouldn't be like that, it's not the answer. I'm just curious how you will be able to live and breathe knowing that you have done something so bad that you just want to die because of the guilt. Probably they are just Psychos.
9626  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is Osama Bin Laden really dead or not? on: June 20, 2017, 02:10:27 AM
Why would you even want to know? It's not like you could do something about it, it's just something that you could just speculate about. In my opinion, he is really dead even if some guys are saying he is still alive. Probably he has been captured first then interrogated and just probably killed after that. I think he is very old by now and died by old age if he is still alive.
9627  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Terrorist siege in the Philippines. on: June 20, 2017, 02:03:08 AM
The Philippines is a hardcore Catholic nation, and the rights of other minorities (especially that of the Muslims and Animists) are frequently violated. I heard that there has been lot of attempts to convert the Muslims to Catholicism in Mindanao and Sulu. And this may be the reason why so many of them are rebelling against the government.

Really? How come, that members such as CoinGrabber are seculars the? "Hardcore catholic" what does that even mean?

Islamic terrorists have killed 1263 people in the last 23 days alone. To equate the threat of ‘right wing terror’ with the mechanized, industrial level bloodshed carried out in the name of Islam is intellectually dishonest and crass.

The Catholic church does have a great deal of influence in the Philippine government, but it is not correct to say that the rights of the other religious minorities are being infringed. Also, the church has lost most of its hold after Duterte was elected as the president. He had a few public spats with the bishops and the deacons. 
It's all about giving respect to people and their religion, basically, President Duterte was really talking about the traffic and not the church itself but definitely, he has always been direct to what he wants and he never goes in circle in his words, he talks straight to the point and is game to destroy the evil in the Philippines, Drugs.
9628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to control greed on gambling? on: June 20, 2017, 01:42:56 AM
Base on my experienced how to control greed its been do manage your time and have self control. Once you won withdraw your profit then stop playing and return back again in another day to play. That is the my way to control my greed.
very effective mate if you do practice this after some wins then quit use the money and enjoy, go back again with another set of bankroll and make sure win or lose just stay with your limit never to get greedy and use your plan strategy smartly to avoid such a mistake.
thats so simple with some people who controls greediness .But somehow not all of the gamblers have same personalities ,abilities and the capacity to have limititation through a good discipline in playing .Also it is good to have a planned gambling in to have a good result in my opinion only.
You cannot say that to someone who is addicted to gambling, it's not simply done easily to stop greed. Addicted people to gambling is also like people who are addicted to drugs, or something alike. That's just the truth. It's always like that.
9629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you feel when win in gambling? on: June 20, 2017, 01:33:36 AM
I felt happy and nervous at the same time because i might bet it again to gain profit.

That's a mix feeling oxymoron but why don't you regulate your gambling by pausing at least for a while if you feel you've won something on a particular day so that you think through and go again rather than try betting afterwards and feel nervous just after happiness.
Feeling happy and feeling nervous is really a normal thing for gambling because we do feel this way we can feel thrill and nervous when making bets and seeing if its winning or losing. The feeling of greediness is the most dangerous of all when we do play gambling because with this we would play no matter what specially when we are winnings and also the feeling of chasing loses its also a dangerous one.
i think there are so many people who do not feel nervous, i think such people in fact good experience in gambling and they always play gambling in a normal mood. to me i really feel very good when make a win in gambling. i some time express my felling by giving gift to my wife and bring gifts to my children. for example in last days when i make about half bitcoin in gambling i bought a golden chain for my wife and some precious gifts for my childre.
You shouldn't feel nervous when gambling especially in poker because, in poker, you need to have a POKER face. That's where that term comes from, it's just like a no reactant face with no emotion. They can probably read your actions so that they could know your next move so it could be advantageous or disastrous to your game.
9630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading vs Gambling on: June 20, 2017, 12:25:32 AM
I prefer trade only because the rate of loss is not large , contrary to profit
gambling either to win double or lose everything, so gambling leads only bankruptcy.
That's good for you because if you gamble, that's probably gonna be the fastest way you could lose your money and that's not good. It's going to be somewhat a thing to be impatient with because the rate of profit in gambling is fast if you always win it would be also the same if you always lose, the rate of losing is really fast.
9631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To Gamble or To Invest? on: June 19, 2017, 02:47:47 PM
I think it's better to invest it, rather than to gamble it. If invested it, it's clear our balance is safer from lost, and can benefit even little by little, obviously it's safer than gamble it, gambling is more at risk.

I will side with you that investment is safer than gambling because it is less risky If you've researched and know what you're putting your money into. Gambling can also be profitable but very risky that's why I consider investment as the lesser of two evils because you can loose your money in wrong investments too but it takes time and not instant.
Surely investment is safer than gambling, although both have certain risks but risks from gambling is bigger, in gambling most of us always had to depend mainly on luck, there are also some gambling games that use skills such as poker but if we want to win, our skills need to be better than other players, earning money from gambling is very difficult. Investment is highly dependent on skills and experience, if we have the knowledge and experience about the investment, we can limit many risks and make a lot of profits
It differs on what you are really investing on because gambling isn't for everyone and it comes with a price all the time. There are just things that are worth to invest on. Gambling doesn't offer that kind of returns just because of the house edge, it's not going to be easy to earn a profit, it's just that we will see if you are lucky or not on that current circumstance.

Humans are the real terrorists, the real terrorists in the world. Maybe us destroying the world itself or terrorizing the same species that we are. It's not very helpful. I didn't get to check the site anymore but I just replied based on the things that people said.
9633  Other / Politics & Society / Re: When will Religions die? on: June 19, 2017, 01:57:05 PM
Religions now are even funded by rich organizations. 
History tells us that religion was also a profitable occupation, it was strongly linked with politics. Religion is needed to rule the people and people need religion to hold on to something in a time of weakness and despair.

Maybe they are just using that religion as a front and an excuse to make and do things and using religion as a reason. It's not a good thing to do, it's just that you're justifying yourself by thinking that you are doing good but you are really being a harm to the world.
9634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling. Is It Wrong? on: June 19, 2017, 01:51:45 PM
There is nothing wrong with gambling because it is fun and entertaining. No one knows when gambling can be beneficial or huge lost because it is all due to luck and skills probably the ratio is 90% luck and 10% skill. There is only one thing that is bad when it comes to gambling and that is the word Greed. With you being greedy it will just lead to bigger lose. So when you do gambling just think of it as a source of enjoyment  not gaining profit.

So true. Just play on it just for fun and enjoy while it last. Don't bother to think of it as a means to earn. Go find a suitable and stable job for you. Because if you think that gambling can be a good source of income for you and your family, you are dead wrong. Play for fun and not for profit and for sure everything will be fine with you.

I could not agree more to you. Treating gambling as a source of income for your family is really a BIG BIG wrong idea. You will surely be frustrated and stresses will eat you alive. The most thing that will happen is that you only not earn any money for your family but you are also selling all of your properties and belongings - what then can you say to your kids?
That's just common sense. Why would you even use that as a source of income when the risk of having a large winning amount there is low. It's better to use the money that you are going to bet to a better place because, in gambling, that's just going to eat it up if you fail to deliver in your games, you should be thinking of the possibility of winning the amount. Just be satisfied with what you have and find alternatives.

That is true. and even if it is just common sense, the sad truth is that, there are still people that fall prey in gambling more than they can afford to lose and therefore affecting their family relationship and even lost all of their hard earned properties
Well that's how life is and that's what is happening to people who get addicted to gambling. That's the real truth. Maybe you know a lot of people that really have addicted to gambling that they destroyed their relationship with everyone, that's just what happens when someone is deep into it. It would be best to stop when you know and feel that you won't be able to stop.
9635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do winning and losing gamblers have different personalities or habits? on: June 19, 2017, 10:13:25 AM
Winning will trigger excitement and losing will trigger sadness. Some people will express their win by handing out a little tip to their friends and when they lose they may cuss or say things that are not reasonable just to vent their anger. So, winning and losing will have different effects on each individual.

We are really acting and feel according to our winnings and losing. These are really normal - the bad thing is the one that are in excess. If you lose like big time and you are losing even your properties and life savings, that is really too bad. However, if you win real big time, I don't know what you feel! Wink
That will be troublesome if you are winning and you still keep gambling, if you reached the limit you should really stop. Emotions cannot be stopped because that's life, it's how you react to things, and that's really normal. Maybe it's different when you boast your winnings without using any skills because it would look like you are just an asshole, something like that.
9636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you play Dice can you feel your heart in your throat? on: June 19, 2017, 09:28:29 AM
I also feel that too, especially if I'm playing with a high bet and just feeling to do a YOLO. It's an amazing feeling if you manage to overcome the odds and win it. It's going to be so satisfying, but I can't say that losing is enjoyable either. It's destructing the feelings out of me. Feeling on the chest is heavy, and heartbeat can be felt.
9637  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Is Complete Garbage!!! on: June 19, 2017, 09:25:09 AM
Maybe it's just that the understanding of people in Bitcoin is not well enough so that they just care about the price, not deep enough for someone who just enjoys it. The article has a point, it can be treated as another way to earn money, by trading. That's why the prices are always fluctuating, the supply and demand of the cryptocurrencies, that's it.
Since bitcoin is decentralized then the fluctuations of the price is common and bitcoin is not a garbage because of that. The pumps and dumps is very common and you can make profits with that if you know how to trade. If you have deep knowledge about bitcoin then you can easily understand why these things keep on happening and you will not be able to think some negative things about bitcoin.
That's true, it shouldn't be considered that it's trash because it's an innovation towards the future of transactions. It would be a lot of help using that into what they are made to do, to be pseudo-anonymous in your transactions and preventing middle man transactions.  There are a lot of places that you can research in order to learn more about Bitcoin.
9638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about Casino with 0% Edge? on: June 19, 2017, 09:17:43 AM
When you think about it, it's somewhat right, you are paying that percentage for other things, and in real casinos, there are real benefits like free bottled water, candies, and other stuff that they give away for free. Some even give free tokens, like what you have in faucets in websites, and that's awesome. But they really won't do that because they want to have an EDGE for sure profit.

There are a lot of resources to see what Segwit means and how it improves the network. FYI, BIP148 is a soft fork, not a hard fork. but it could lead to coin-split. So in August 1, anyone who is running Bitcoin software would not send bit 1. If majority of the miners do not support the BIP148 (UASF), it would lead to a coin-split. But there is a better solution, BIP91.

It survived for a reason, and it will never stop. People do need those kinds of beliefs and I too believe in God. It's a way to become a better version of ourselves but if you destroy other people, that's where you should check if you're right in what you are believing, chaos shouldn't be tolerated and killing is never the option.
