Weed isn't. Love it.

But I love money more... it buys me weed.
Huh That doesn't make sense. You claim you love money more than weed, but then dump the money in exchange for weed. Which suggests you love the weed more.

Some people aren't designed to get it.  They judge us like they're the righteous ones. Holy and pure. Bullshit.
Reading through your previous posts your not entirely innocent of being judgmental yourself.


Take drugs, don't take drugs. Doesn't bother me, up to the individual. Personally it just doesn't interest me, and never has. *shrug*.
It's seems to me drugs are so deeply embedded in your life, someone else enjoying life without any need to take drugs just doesn't register in your tiny brain. Cannot happen. Does not compute. Malfunction. Something must be wrong with them.

Sad.  Sad


As long as you live in your own little paradise apart from all the crack head users, and dope fiends, and rap music gang parties and stuff? Drugs seem to go along with these thinking disorders especially of younger people before they actually grow up. But it causes harms to people who have to live in the low rental places, as these drug users seem to end up there, and they seem so intent on doing their drugs and other foul things, that anyone who wants to live in a quiet place is somehow in their way, and they seem to have thoughts of murder.

But sure, as long as it doesn't enter into my life, or as long as I am not aware of these problems, then go ahead and do the dope or don't do the dope?

There are elderly people living in abusive apartments, where other people push their drugs and threaten violence, where they keep the doors locked and don't go out at night.
Then there is the crack users, whose filthy smoke is like pooring pure alcohol down the throats of the neighbors against their will, just from breathing a whiff of that crap.

You seem to be equating marijuana use with inner city gang problems, blight and hand-in-hand with crack, etc.  Marijuana use happens along all social spectrums from the White House (Willie Nelson) to inner city crackhouses.  Whatever underworld unpleasantries are associated with marijuana could easily be eliminated by legalizing and regulating it.  Take out the profit incentive.  I still won't use it when it is legal in my state unless a medical problem necessitates its use.


One of the main problems I see with marijuana, is that it goes into the air, for other people in the building, or nearby to inhale, and it is an intoxicant and it is a toxin.

There are people with health problems who may have their health negatively effected by other people smoking pot, who also show no regards for others in the building; and if they legalize it, then they would blow pot smoke in the face of the afflicted. Pot smoking and bad thinking disorders seem to go hand in hand.

It is similar to forcing someone to drink straight alcohol from a bottle against their will. It is toxic and it is an intoxicant.

If they do legalize it, then it should only be allowed in certain places, but not in buildings or near to other people who want nothing to do with it.

Bitcoin is regulated by the laws of mathematics.


I don't think you are quite on topic.

I will give you an example:


User A steals 1 bitcoin off of User B ( mathematics has no laws that I know of, that will do anything to punish the thief(User A), nor to reimburse the person who had his 1 bitcoin stolen(User B) )

By unregulated, that also means there is no laws made by the state as yet.

That means that although User A stole the 1 bitcoin off of User B, there is no transgression against the state, because the state has not regulated bitcoin yet. The state has not made a law that says 'You shall not steal bitcoins off anyone else'

As far as I know, the state has not made that law.

Also, there is no transgression against User B, and the reason why, is because they are involved with bitcoin by agreement, knowing it is unregulated.

If there is no law, then how can there be a transgression, if there is no law? There cannot be any transgressions because there has to be a law in the first place to transgress against.


Nonetheless, the law came in because of transgressions!!!

That means that although there is no laws, nonetheless there is laws.

It must be!

Or we make the contradictory statements:

THERE IS NO LAWS REGULATING BITCOINS

THERE IS LAWS REGULATING BITCOINS


and that means those two statements are not contradictory

Hey all, hope all is well out in bitcoin land!

Many of you know me.. Not sure how but you seem to.

Anyways, I've decided to try and make a million or more before I die for my nest egg. I am looking for successful people to help me with advice on to how they got to where they are.. And I'm not talking about early bitcoin adopters who bought at $3 and are now rich.. I want advice from people who worked their way up to where they are. (no offence intended to early BTC adopters)

Here is a list of what I am doing to improve my money situation:

1. No more women, All they seem to want is my money.
2. Quitting smoking. (costs me +$200 a month, and stinks to boot)
3. Working overtime when I can.
4. Avoiding gambling sites.
5. Not eating out at restaurants.
6. Buying grocery items only when they are on sale.
7. No more social outings to bars/clubs.
8. Quitting drinking alcohol.
9. Huh
10. Profit!

I make roughly $800 bi weekly. Almost 1 full paycheck goes to rent and bills. This leaves me with roughly one check to hold onto a month.
I owe Geoffolosphy +$335USD for a BTC trade last week. So my paycheck might suck a little bit next round.. But I have to live with that.

If anyone out there is willing to post some tips on how to save money or knows of lucrative investments please post below!

Thanks in advance!

It sounds as though you want to do all these things for money, as though you are worshipping money.

From what you wrote above, you are intent on 'repenting' for the sake of trying to have more money or a million or more.

Do you believe In God?

Consider that if you repent, do it for God.

Luke 15:7
New American Standard Bible
"I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."

Could your own signature "- ♥♥ SAVEME.INFO ♥♥ Receive BitCoin Donations at SaveMe.info" be the root of all evil or a solution to fight the root of all evil by giving to your wallet?


More people from the bitcoin community are joining saveme.info now.

Your question may be unclear, or
I don't think I understand your question. People can have their own bitcoin donation webpage at saveme.info where they ask people to donate bitcoins to them. Many sins will be forgiven to people who give. The Lord loves a cheerful giver.
Some of us won't have much or anything, unless people give something to us.
Consider the starving man, but if no one gave, he starves... whereas because people gave he eats.
There may be nothing there sometimes unless people give.

What do any of you have, that you did not receive? No, but you received it all. Did you ask for it, or did you just go and take it?(inquiring minds want to know)

I don't think I 'fight' the root of all evil. But money may be a temptation, but as long as I continue in good works then I will be saved(God said so).
87  Other / Politics & Society / Bitcoin is unregulated and there are no state laws for bitcoin on: November 13, 2013, 12:08:52 AM



Bitcoin is unregulated. There is no law for bitcoins, therefore

no one can 'transgress' with bitcoins. Where there is no laws, how can one 'transgress' the non-existent laws?


But if you believe in God, then Gods laws are always there.(except that Jesus Christ is the law that came in the flesh,
and the law was nailed to the cross)

In fact, those who believe in Jesus Christ, or who have been crucified with christ, are no longer under the law

But also, the holy bible teaches us that all men are transgressers of the law.

So, you being transgressors yourselves, are you then going to punish transgressors of the law? Why not punish yourself first?


But the holy bible also shows us, that it is because of transgressions, that the law needed to come in.

If people would not transgress, then there is no need for the law.

Do you think that if there is no state laws made, therefore there is no law? Howbeit then, that because of transgressions therefore the law came in; which indicates that in fact, even though there was no laws, nonetheless people transgressed, and that means that even when there is no laws, there is laws.

For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
- 1 Timothy 6:10



I know that people might think that it is the 'love of money that is the root of all evil' ...


But consider if someone 'hates money', does that mean they will not do evil to get money(perhaps to eat), or is that
a temptation?

So, it cannot be, that it is only 'the love of money that is the root of all evil' and in fact even people who 'hate money'
might do evil to get money, or in regards to money.

Therefore the scripture that simply says: 'money is the root of all evil'

Make sense? (I know it is more difficult to deal with then, or moralize)

It is easier to moralize away 'the love of money is the root of all evil' because upon self-examination, many of us think that we don't actually love money, and this is true. I mean, why love an object like money? Or is it the things that money buys that we love? then it might get a bit sticky for more of us? Hmmmm Smiley

You will just accept whatever you are told by your church, so you need not think about it.


Not really. I am not a member of any specific church.

Nowadays, people can have their own bible, and read the scriptures for themselves.
Unlike at times historically, when priests had perhaps the only local copy of the scriptures.

Jesus did say to do what the priests says, but do not do as they do, because they say, and do not do.



My Grandmother is a Christian and we always had arguments about evolution. One day she ask her minister for a good rebuttal to my arguments, but it turned out her minister believed in evolution, and so now she does too. It struck me that the religious person is more concerned by who is giving the information than the quality of the information being given.

Out of interest, do you believe in evolution?


I think evolution was a theory of a christian guy, wasn't it? I think he was apostate for even theorizing about it.

For example: you may find white wolves in the arctic, but not so often further south... Why is that? was it 'evolution'? I doubt it. What happened is that the white wolf was born, and made its way north by chance, and found that the hunting was better than down south for him, because he was white, and it gave him an extra advantage over non-white wolves in the arctic. The grey wolf is more dominant in mid-southern regions and not many white wolves in that area, although some are still being born as white wolves. No evolution at all, and it was just that the white wolf is harder to see, and it hunts better in whiteout conditions than the darker wolves. Darker wolves find it harder to hunt in the white of the artic and they get spotted too easily, but once they got down south, they were better able to eat again

I am just making some comments, and quoting some scriptures.

The witch being merged with the wise-man of the current age.

'God will be a swift witness against witches'
( I think this is at the judgement at the ressurrection of the dead)


The wise man of the world has been brought to nothing, seeing as how Christ was crucified.


'God does not give his glory to images'

'the sea of glass that burns with fire'

'you shall not suffer a witch to live'

'the wages of sin is death'

Does God love bitcoin?



I don't really want people to 'hate' God, but I'll try to be honest what my interpretation is.

1- There is no power except it be of God (if bitcoin has power, then it came from God)
But all power comes from God, but I think there are different channels or avenues or paths, or branches,
that the power comes through.

2- images are suspect, and bitcoin is partly an image.

But what branch is the power of bitcoin coming from that comes from God? I am uncertain about that.

Does God love bitcoin? Highly unlikely. In fact, the bible says that 'money is the root of all evil' ( often people will try to defend money when they hear this)

The bible actually says that the things that man esteems as good on the earth are an abomination to God.

But remember I don't want you to hate God, even if it may be true that bitcoin is an abomination to God, while at the same time, bitcoin cannot have power except it be of God.

It seems there is a contradition. To be honest, I really don't know the answer.


Money is not really esteemed all that well in the holy bible.

At the same time, people like Abraham or Jacob became wealthy men,
but I tend to think of them as well off ranchers or cowboys.

Joseph was lifted up in egypt, as head over alot of wealth or produce or wheat/food during a drought.

God blesses and gives money to some people, though Jesus said that 'blessed are the poor'.

All things belong to God, and some of us think that all money is Gods money.

I don't know Huh

Witchcraft is simply a fiction created by the Christian church to persecute pagans and Wiccans. It allowed the church to more easily subordinate people to authoritarian control and openly denigrates women.

I think that some of the 'witches' that were burnt, were actually accused of 'heresay' or of being 'heritical' , but in fact
they might have believed in jesus christ.

Also, the burning of so-called 'witches' I have wondered if it may have had something to do with competition for
health care, or potions or how to treat the afflicted or sick.

The current world health care, is dominated by a snake cult that is descended(came from) ancient babylon, and perhaps they 'persecuted' people who wanted to treat sickness/affliction differently than them? Just wondering.

I am unclear on what the definition of a witch is precisely.


witches are depicted in pictures putting stuff into a pot and cooking it, for potions,
and if that is true, then pharma is a witch.
97  Other / Politics & Society / Re: computer programming is similar to witch-craft on: November 12, 2013, 02:04:54 AM
Burn the witch!


Then again, perhaps you think that computer programming is not witchcraft?

I wonder what people think about this
98  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Tithing on: November 12, 2013, 02:00:24 AM

Do any of you religious folk practice tithing every month and if so why or why not? 

In the past few days I found out that a friend of mine gives 10% a month to his very wealthy church.  Yet, the dumb ass is massively in debt, spends 100% of his check (tithing included) and refuses to stop giving his hard earned money to his church.  ($500+ a month)

I sit here shaking my head but it's his money and it's his choice, but I do call him a fool.  While preaching against gluttony, the church sure does accept your money with open hands.  In my opinion they should be teaching simple economics, savings, paying off bills or putting money away for your children's college. 


No answer to the first question.

Your friend is not a fool. In fact, many sins will be forgiven those who give.

In fact, if people did not give, then people will suffer and die, or perhaps they will not hear the gospel of jesus christ,
and supporting the gospel of jesus christ is a good thing to do with money.

On the other hand, I have heard it said, that the tithing was a levitical protocol, but after Jesus Christ came and was crucified, then the levitical protocol of tithing came to an end at that time.

Nonetheless, if that is true, the priests or preachers are appointed ministers to preach the gospel of jesus christ, and they are seeking after a good work. and supporting them is a good idea, but whether or not it is yet legally binding or not in the bible? How do you interpret it?
