Ok its your opinion ,mine is that you are coward if you left your country and let enemy take control ...If you think its brave thing to run away ,what are then home guard soldiers that fight for their countrey and what you think would happen if everyone is brave to run what will happen with that country?
It seems to be that the enemy is no obvious in Syria. There are Russians and Americans there. The fact is that thousands of innocent people are dying. It's easy to judge others sitting at home on your couch. If you're in a war zone, you might have slightly different feelings. I would try to protect my country, if I really felt like there was a clear threat and that I could be helpful. I can also imagine though that I could decide that the best decision would be to leave with my family. A lot of people are dying for nothing. That won't help anybody.

In my country we have had war against Jugoslavia that was aggressor to my country we didint have any wepons, they have everything still brave people fight for freedom and we got our state ,what are you talking about imagine that in every war good site that is fighting for freedom just run away then you let aggressor to get what they want ... i see 90% of refugees are young mens ready to defend their countrey ,but no they run away and what let their womens and children to defend country its not honoral ,you need sometimes sacrifice your self for greater good
So you think that all young men should volunteer to fight in a war? What if they don't believe in the war at all? If they can't even understand which side to fight for?

You're statistic is wrong. Here you can see demographics of refugees in the EU: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Asylum_statistics. You can see that the percentage of men is between 60-75% in the 18-64 age range. You need to remember that men are at higher risk of being forced to fight or being killed in a war situation. Seeking asylum can also be dangerous, depending on how you flee your country. Many men flee their countries alone first to find asylum, work, and stability, to then bring their family with them after. I think that is a brave thing to do.

The sad thing is that the honest refugees themselves aren't usually the problem. Refugees are people running away from some danger in their country. They need to be helped. The problem is that sometimes terrorists come under the guise of refugees. I think it must be very difficult to be sure that the people immigrating to your country are real refugees. Do you think all European countries should just stop helping refugees? Who can help them?

I think they are not helping them at all because if you really want to help those people you need to start working on problems back on Middle East then,what are they doing to stop a war nothing they even make it worst and we are witnessing even more refugees.
I guareente you that almost all of them would like to go back home in their countreys ,they want their lifes back ,they want peace back home not is some strangers land
The fact is though that there is a war right now in Syria, for example. You propose that the people should stay there and be killed? Or taken into sexual slavery? It's a very difficult subject, but people are dying in wars. It's hard to just tell them that they should stay where they are, that we'll send them some help. It wouldn't actually be helpful at all, if they're dead. Sometimes we really do need to take people in. They need to be protected from the dangers they faced at home. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like things in Syria will be resolved completely any time soon.

That is somehow a problem with close friends. Sometimes they joke without taking any consideration about the feelings of the other. But if they really are your true friends then they should know how to respect you and your family. If they cannot, then they are not real friends. Stay away.
It's clear that they aren't respecting him. I agree with many here who have said that if they were true friends, they wouldn't bully him. There's no point in wasting your life trying to get people to respect you that don't respect anybody. Those are not good quality friends. They can't even really be friends with each other, because they never know when one many turn. I recently watch the Netflix series 13 Reasons. You can see that people often spend time with people they don't actually like, just to "look cool" in front of other people. You can see the same thing in the 2017 movie Wonder.

Guys ive been watching american horror movies for years. I wonder if theres anyone interested in asian horror movies n give me some good examples ?
I can't actually recommend an Asian horror movie. There is an American movie that's doing really well this year though. It's called Hereditary. It is an indie horror movie that sort of came out of nowhere. It's one of the creepiest movies of recent times. This is the IMDb summary: "After the family matriarch passes away, a grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences, and begin to unravel dark secrets." That's probably enough before you watch it. It's got a rating of 7.6 on there.

Yes their are many weak spots in border of Schengen zone.Problem is they go through Turkey,Greece, Macedonia,Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia so from my point of view those countrys dont want refugees in their country and same goes from refugees they dont want to stay in this coutrys because its lower standard and low social benefits so its in both interests to get those refugees as fast as they can out of their countrys so lot of illegals come in... i think that everyone shoud make stronger border controls starting from Greece and Turkey just stop the problem at the start dont let any illigal immigration and we wont have problem with terrorism because we most be honest their is a lot of radical exstreme islmaists that need to be stop

Interested in the opinions of Russians as to what they think will be the outcome of this ban and what will emerge as an alternative?
My friends in Russia say it's no problem at all. At first they were apparently blocking millions of IP address (mostly Google and Amazon) to try and get Telegram to stop working. It did more damage to other sites than to Telegram. After a while the removed a lot of the bans. I think Telegram is still officially banned, but my friends say it works without even using a proxy. Seems like they're doing a horrible job at blocking it. That and/or Pavel Durov is just doing a very good job at avoiding the block.

Great news! I'm sure we will gradually see this happening with more and more companies. I guess it would be better to say that we are already gradually seeing it. It'll really make the news if BMW starts paying salaries in BTC. That's quite a ways off though, I think. I do have one friend who works for a cryptocurrency company. He gets paid in BTC. It's nice if you make more than you need to live. You can just convert a little bit each money, as needed. Or, you could just buy your BMW without converting at all. Haha!  Wink

Crime is a social phenomenon that can not be separated from society itself. As a result, crime will be a problem facing every country ..

So what is the background so that crime continues to occur in the world ??

cryptocurrencies will likely cause a global crime explosion in regions that were crime free beforehand.

crime in the end is also very perspectual,

as societies are build asymetirc, not based on equality and justice.

perfect equality cannot be reached even.

cryptoeconomics is likely to create a class of so called "money earning cattle" and these people will not be very just treated compared with the capitalist class that constantly creates and propagates new money

(see maduro/trump/ roger ver)


I would love to hear more about this idea. I have never heard the cryptocurrencies may cause a crime explosion. What do you mean by that? Who are these "money earning cattle" you talk about? Are they rich from crypto? Or are they some kind of slaves?
I watched a documentary recently. And it was focused on statistics surrounding crimes. From a detailed study, it was revealed that the much believed stuff about crime rate is actually far from reality. Since the 2000s, crime rate has actually dropped. Way more banks were robbed in the 90s than in the years afterwards. The reason for that is not necessarily because humanity improved or anything of the sort. But security has somewhat been beefed and crimes are now more easily monitored than before. We think that crime rate has increased basically because the media now focuses on that.
I'd be very interested if you could find the name of that documentary. I find this kind of thing fascinating!

In Europe the crime is incresing by the number off uncivilized immigrants from middle east look at France ,look at Swedish ,look at Germany this countrys was civilazed and culture was on high level ,but when those i dont  know how to call them came to this countrys they became shitholes for imigrants who wana live on social assistance ,not to mention that i look at those people at their camps they are ecological disaster ...i think its cheaper to put full loaded army on boarder with real guns and ammunition then let those uncivilazed wild people to your country it can only cost you more because they increse the crime rate you need more officers you need more security more jails and the hole point is if you let them to your county your country became a shithole and thats the truth...God bless thet they didnt came to my county because we have special mentality if this what is happening in Swedish for exsample is happening here in my country it woudnt be good belive me,because their is still strong nationalism charge here so i guess those immigrants will start to vanishing in middle of the nights if they try to rape our womans or rob our people...im not saying all of them are criminals but a lot of them are because lot of them is not runing away from war ,they are runing away because they were terorists,robbers,rapists,killers and god knows what else they do
I wonder if the crime rates are really going up so much in France, Germany and Sweden. Maybe crimes are actually not going up. It could be that they are just getting more attention if they are committed by a an immigrant. If a German guy rapes a German women, it will not be as interesting in the new as if a Syrian or Moroccan migrant rapes a German woman. It's also possible that the worldwide crime rates aren't really increasing. If some of the immigrants coming to Europe are "terrorists,robbers,rapists,killers", then they probably were already committing crimes in their home countries. So, the world crime rate could say the same and just move from one country to another.

In 1975, the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogeneous Sweden into a multicultural country. Forty years later the dramatic consequences of this experiment emerge: violent crime has increased by 300%.If one looks at the number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse. In 1975, 421 rapes were reported to the police; in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase of 1,472%.
Sweden is now number two on the global list of rape countries. According to a survey from 2010, Sweden, with 53.2 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants, is surpassed only by tiny Lesotho in Southern Africa, with 91.6 rapes per 100,000 inhabitants.My friend live in Swedish and i know what im saying chance that Swedish guy will rape a Swedish woman is really small or try to rob someone even smaller ,but those nobrainers from middle east every second one will commit a rape or try to rob someone those people cant live with us because we are going to have civil war againts muslims in europe if something wont change mark my words
Those are certainly quite startling statistics. It would be more interesting if you actually had specific statistics for each crime by race though. It's interesting that this doesn't seem to happen in every country. In 1988, Canada signed the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. It basically is a guarantee of equality and equal rights for all cultures. Canada has so many immigrants. Canada actually welcomes over 300,000 new immigrants every year. That's about 1% of the population added every year. As far as I know, crimes are not going up like this in Canada. What do you think the difference is?

I think the whole thing is diffrent and Canada obviously has more restrictions for immigrants and lets be honest its not even so easy to come from middle east to Canada,problem is Europe we see a lot of illegal immigrants without ID coming and thats the main problem ,because they came through lower standard countrys they let them in without IDs give them some papers like registration and they go further in.
I know there is probably a familys and people with IDs that dont hide anything they run from war and just wana better life,work and education but there needs to be a lot more controls and regulations if not you just let a lot of potentially bad and very dangerous people for your society and in future you will have to face the consequences
I guess that is one benefit Canada has. They have very little illegal immigration. People would have to come by the oceans or from the US. I guess they could come from the North too. If they pull that off you should probably let them stay. Haha. I've heard that they also get a bunch of refugees that go to Canada from the US. If they get denied in the US, they run to Canada and Canada gives them a chance too. So, you think the problem in Europe is that there are weak spots in the border of the Schengen Zone?

13  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can you decentralize yourself by developing multiple personalities? on: August 03, 2018, 02:43:25 PM
People automatically have multiple personalities. The reason we don't see it in each other is that we all have a central authority in us that combines our multiple personalities into one personality. If the central authority in us, or the pathways that send commands to the various personalities in us, happen to become disrupted for some reason, the multiple personalities can express themselves individually at different times, in very emphatic ways.

One of the strongest examples of multiple personalities expressing themselves in people is in people who have a mild to medium stroke. A stroke disrupts the central authority a person has in himself, and/or the control pathways to the different personalities. Many people can tell you stories of friends or loved ones who, after having a stroke, jumped into different aspects of their lives with great vigor and zeal. For example. Sometimes they are very emotional talking about childhood. Sometimes the become wildly angry about politics. Other times they might be more loving than ever towards some good friend or their spouse. Other times they are angry with the same friends, and can't be talked into a calm mood.

Check out yourself for your different personalities. At times you might be concentrating on a project. Other times you might be relaxed in a good game on TV. Still other times you might be in an almost over-compelling desire to make love. But if you are normal and healthy, you can talk yourself out of these moods, which are really various personalities that are living together within you.

Cool
This reminds me of that Disney movie, Inside Out. In the movie, there's a little girl and we can see inside her head. She has little people in her head that take turns controlling her actions. Each little person represents an emotion. There is joy, sadness, anger, disgust, and fear. When each is in control, he/she displays traits according to his/her name. It's a really neat idea. They are always fighting in her head as to what decisions they should make. I suppose this is an example of decentralization. Haha.
14  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Increasing crime rate ?? What caused it? on: August 02, 2018, 12:19:57 PM
The causes of increasing crime rate in every country is a mixture of the influences of both internal and external environment. People will not simply commit a crime just for nothing. Some would think that doing a criminal act will provide them a solution for their problem. Others think that as long as their intentions are good, it cam never be wrong. While few were triggered by the people around them or just because of their unrighteous beliefs and twisted minds. I think that the commitment of crime has it own different unique stories that needs to be heard. The increase in crime rate also a result of the misunderstanding. Lastly, because of the vulnerability of humans that makes us weak and capable of doing crazy, filthy, and a poor decision.

Does this mean that you actually believe crime rates are rising? As I posted above, I think that the world is actually becoming safe than it used to be. You can see that in the US that is definitely the case. I'm sure there are countries that are experiences increases in crime, but that's not all of them fore sure. Is crime actually on the rise where you are from? Maybe people are doing great jobs at explaining why crimes are committed. I don't really people address the first question in the title of this thread, "Increasing crime rate?" Is it actually increasing?

Crime is a social phenomenon that can not be separated from society itself. As a result, crime will be a problem facing every country ..

So what is the background so that crime continues to occur in the world ??
Well first we need to ask if this is really true. Are crime rates actually increasing? You mention crime in the world, so I assume your referring to crime in the who world. There was a book published by Steven Pinker in 2011 called The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. There doesn't seem to be that much data available on a worldwide scale, but we can see that in the United States, many crimes are actually on the decline.


I found this study here: http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/01/30/5-facts-about-crime-in-the-u-s/. You can see that in the US violent crimes and property crimes have decreased significantly since 1993. Do you still think there's more crime in the world? If there isn't, but it seems like there is, why is that?

It's really hard to say whether or not it will happen. There are so many unpredictable factors. I do believe for sure that we could colonize another planet. It seems that our space technology is improving constantly. I don't understand why we still haven't been back to the moon, but I think it'll all pretty feasible. Why it might not happen... I think that other problems on earth may distract us too much. Our efforts may be diverted, then space exploration could lose funding.

Often we hear about the "incompetent government", about the "bad system".
But where do the members of the government come from?
Maybe they come to us from Mars? No, they all came from the people.
Who creates the System?
The Martians? No, they are also from the people.
Who votes in elections?
The Martians? No, people vote.
Who pays taxes on the maintenance of the government? People.
What kind of people - such power.
If the people are ignorant and suffer from alcoholism, then it has the corresponding power.
Do you agree?
Absolutely agree with you. We deserve the politicians who control us, because people are passive, lazy and do not want to take responsibility for their lives. It is much easier to play the role of a victim and blame everyone around for their troubles.
The state does not affect our life so much, as it seems to us. For example, we can get education, change a profession, start a new life at any moment. All we need for this is the Internet.
It will be better for everyone if we pay more attention to resolving those problems that are in our power and stop hoping for a good ruler who will take care of us.
I agree that we are all in power to change our lives. Even in the poorest of societies, it is possible to educate yourself and rise up. The only exception I can think of is maybe North Korea. Apparently, they don't have access to the internet there and they are very limited in their life choices. Everywhere else, it should be possible. Heck, even from North Korea, you could just run away. That's a good first step. It's extremely dangerous, but many people are doing it and it should greatly improve your quality of life if you succeed. We can't forget though that government can do a pretty good job of oppressing their citizens. We need to speak about about these instance and try to cause change for everybody instead of only focusing on ourselves.

Just like people, governments get stuck in their ways. Why do people smoke? Well, they get into the habit of smoking. In the same way, governments have lots of bad habits. Over decades and sometimes centuries, governments get more and more separated from the people. They build up militaries and security that "protect" them from the people. The open endless new offices and departments. The government becomes too large and becomes less and less effective. New politicians that come up also grew up in the same system. They are used to the way things work, so they don't try that hard to make and real significant changes. We need huge reforms to make any improvements in government.

It's so funny that on American TV is fine to show everything on a woman's body except the nipples and the vulva. That can literally just have little stickers on their nipples and a seashell over their downstairs as that's fine. In my travels, I've noticed odd things. What amount of nudity that is acceptable different greatly from culture to culture. In China, for example, it's not very socially acceptable for women to have low-cut shirts. They usually have high collars that cover their chest, neck and shoulders. For them on the other hand, legs are not a very sexual thing. Sometimes their shorts can be so short you can see their bottoms. In India, the most formal dress for women is a sari. When a woman wears a sari, you can see her midriff. Indian men grow up their whole lives seeing their mother's, their grandmother's, their teachers', their doctors' midriffs. This makes the human abdomen less sexual for them.

In my country transgenders are treated like animals. Their families give them up and they are raised by groups of transgenders living together, who raise them as their own. They are forced to beg, dance or sell their bodies in order to earn a living. They are looked down upon by the society because of their profession, but it's the society itself who has left them no choice.They are normally bullied, beaten and raped. In spite all of this they manage to put a smile on their face and live their life. In our society they are referred to as 'khawajasira' or 'khusra'. They have no job opportunities and until recently they were not even recognized as legal citizens. A lot of them have been fighting for their rights and they have succeeded to some extent, but honestly their is a long way to go.

I guess that you are from India? You should probably say that in your post, so we know what you're talking about. I heard about these people when I was in India. Actually, I saw some of them. We were told that they are referred to as the third gender. We heard that they are considered to be in their own class. People told us that sometimes they come to weddings and the people think it can be a curse for them to be there. To get them to leave they pay them money. It's really sad that they are so oppressed. It's nice that they usually group together, so they have a community. I don't think that happens in all countries.
