The ban does not apply to animation or to comic art known as manga. They would nave never been able to do this thing in Japan. Manga and doujinshi are extremely popular and with lot of artists and with huge fairs as Comiket which attracted over 500 000 participants. Not only there are lots of people involved but there will be also an economical blow to the electric town Akibahara. Of course , there are a few comics I saw that I could say out loud they have crossed the line but , it's still comics , they aren't doing this in real life. I have to admit , it is indeed a bit annoying when I check the animes my nephew watches and half on the time I see only heroins with DD taking baths or getting their clothes shredded just to make them more sexy , but I don't think it's that dangerous.It's up to the parents of the kid. One other thing. Since my country is one of the worse in terms of wages and income , its a real target for pedo tourists. Rather than hunting those down one by one , the guys in the government should think about eradicating this from the source. One small thought. |

This is for Niothor. He was asking for proof, for a few days now. Pro-Russian troops boarding an MBT near the town of Yanakiyevo, Donetsk oblast. You can see clearly that the men are wearing the uniform of the Donetsk People's Army:  You show as proof of 15 rebel tanks in a fight involving 4000 rebels and 30000 ukraine soldiers a picture of two tanks down a road? And that makes your claim confirmed. Also , you got this picture after you said the fight was confirmed , you didn't see it before. |

I find this option pretty interesting. It will cut enough spam but it will also let the incentive to make a few extra posts for people who are online all day. Besides , if anyone is caught spamming he should be immediately removed from the campaign. |

Do the same as TF did. Pay out a fixed amount per month based on your activity points you have as long as you have a minimum of 50 posts per month (to filter non-active members).
So payments is:
iff minimum 50 posts: X * activity
else: 0
where X is a number you'r comfortable with (I would suggest somewhere between 0.0005 and 0.001)
Yeah, that sounds good! Because it would double my payment per post  But seriously, this is the best idea I have seen in this thread! Sincerely I don't think this is fair. Based on that if I do 51 posts and you make 200 , I would still earn 5 times more than you... |

China owns huge amounts of US debt. Given US cannot pay of their own debt, it is only a matter of time before China cashes the checks and large chunks of US infrastructure is given to the CHinese as a debt swap agreement. Most likely the utilities, power and water, which the Chinese government will jack up the prices on and thereby ring the money owed out of the population.
Oh really? The us say f** with your debt bonds.... What is China going to do? Keep silent and wag her tail like a dog . China is not capable of trying to impose on the US. And it will never be. The rapid growth in China’s defense budget is a natural outcome of its economic rise. It's not as scary as you all think. IHS Jane’s recently estimated that China will raise its military budget by nearly $10 billion this year (going from $139.2 billion to $148 billion). The news fits in well with catchy headlines about China’s growing military might, but as with all figures, the meaning can be distorted when taken out of context.
I read a while back that they had estimated China's defence budget will overtake the US within 20 years, still got a fair way to go, think they've only got one warship. Wont be long til Fox News starts screaming about the yellow peril  Chinese have a two huge fleets, not as many as the US's 5 however they are growing at an incredible rate and have so for the past 25 years. THey have just sent to sea their 1st aircraft carrier with two more in the pipeline. Capping it off,thye already have their 5th generation fighter entering low rate production whilst JSF continues to blow out. Don't believe the US propoganda, the Chines and Russian 4th and 5th generation fighters are damn good and any technical deficency they do have is overcome in the additional numbers. That is not an aircraft carrier , it's and old Russian bathtub that was painted to hide the rust. |

When you have to redo thing 4 times because they are collapsing after a few months it's normal you use three times the material.
Also , if you build just to build with no real objective or economical reasons it's the same.
Another interesting point ,per capita consumption of cement
Saudi Arabia 1,683
China 1,581
South Korea 911
USA 232

Although I see some different opinions about the right to choose and others I am glad to hear that people here are pro-vax.
To be honest I was expecting a few nuts to come and claim that vaccines are the way cia is trying to control us.
Or the Illuminati.

But this would have not happened if the banks have converted all the money into bitcoin and had the private keys encrypted..even if stolen money is super traceable with blockchain.
Just one more reason of how bitcoin could truly help the world become a better place.

Those are de-activated tanks, you can tell from the things on the turrets, they could be re-activated I suppose if you had the knowledge to do so but that would take some effort especially with that many and even though tanks would be very effective on land against air power they're useless. Assuming any of this is real of course  When you said re-activated something finally connected , "mothballed". I knew I saw those tanks previously. (yeah i have a hobby of building tank models) http://defensetech.org/2012/06/05/tanks-as-far-as-the-eye-can-see/It'a a tank repair facility. http://paul-itk.livejournal.com/9681.htmlSorry but those tanks are as dangerous as a tuna can right now. |

If they lose both games , they are out of the game.
Remember 2010 , there is no such thing as for sure in football. There is only a 0.01% chance for that to happen. The Costa Rican win against Uruguay was definitely a fluke, and still they are one of the weakest teams playing in this tournament. Anyway, England are much behind even if the Goal Difference is considered. Would you risk your entire bitcoin and/or altcoin stash on it? Paddypower offers 1/12 for Italy qualifying. |

I wonder what happens if the island looses power cos Bitcoin is kinda dependent on electricity?
How can the island lose power completely? Solar panels with 1 KW/Hr capacity are available for less than $1,000 each. Installing a portable wind turbine would cost less than $100,000. The wind stops at night . |

The United States Anti-Vaccination Movement is composed of a variety of individuals ranging from former doctors who should know better, to semi-celebrities who have no medical training, to anti-government conspiracy theorists who distrust anything that the government says. They all hold onto the mistaken belief that autism is caused by receiving childhood vaccines. In 2007 there was an increase in celebrities promoting anti-vaccination rhetoric. Because of their celebrity status they appeared on several television shows and published multiple books advising parents not to vaccinate their children. This has led to an increase in the number of vaccine preventable illnesses as well as an increase in the number of vaccine preventable deaths. http://www.jennymccarthybodycount.com/Anti-Vaccine_Body_Count/Home.htmlAnother article: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/04/06/anti-vaccine-movement-is-giving-diseases-a-2nd-life/7007955/Recent measles outbreaks in New York, California and Texas are examples of what could happen on a larger scale if vaccination rates dropped, says Anne Schuchat, the CDC's director of immunizations and respiratory diseases. Officials declared measles, which causes itchy rashes and fevers, eradicated in the United States in 2000. Yet this year, the disease is on track to infect three times as many people as in 2009. That's because in most cases people who have not been vaccinated are getting infected by others traveling into the United States. Then, Schuchat says, the infected spread it in their communities. A bit harsher one: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/03/20/thanks-to-anti-vaxxers-mumps-are-back-what-s-next.htmlProbably a lot of the members on this board are fathers already , and some are thinking on having a child... What was your choice / what is going to be? I'm pro vax. |

1/ I do not think we can compare QRK to a country. We should compare QRK to other crypto currencies. They are very different. The biggest difference is that QRK will only ever decide as a community to expand their minting, and indeed unless people want to expand they will not use the new fork and the extra 30M would never exist. How is the community going to decide this? One vote for quark owned? One vote for member? How are you going to count the votes? With a mining poll having 90% of the hashing rate (sorry i'm using old numbers , i don't know if the situation changed) how is this going to be fair. You know why bitcoin devs don't say a word about any real changes that would imply a hardfork? Because they know that they can't take a fair decision and can't have a real vote. This is one major flaw in cryptos. A few can decide the faith of others...like in the actual economy. Nothing changed. ps Although I'm saying this and I have an avatar of a polar bear , I'm still bullish in regards to cryptos future. But not the ones that are currently alive. Hi Niothor, Yes, i do see your point with regarding the difficulty of consulting every qrk holder out there. For me personally it would be enough to PM every single person on this thread, announce in the main section and give time for all qrk holders 1 month to vote and have their say on the introduction of the super block and which escrow members would hold it if it took place. Yes again i agree, people holding 100k qrk should have more say than those holding 50qrk. It should really be 1 qrk per vote. Even then people could find away to cheat the voting system It is impossible to do it in a perfectly fair way right now. However, imagine you were a qrk holder and your share was diluted 10% but as a result the value of your holdings had risen 1000% vs Fiat would you be happy? For me personally at this time as a largish qrk holder i vote to do it. Sure the planning will have to be well thought out and agreed upon. Everything perfectly executed and managed. Transparent 100%. I know drastic changes can have ill effect. There could be criticism. However. this is not a snatch and grab for the good of a few, this is will be a discussed and agreed upon action that will lead to many new developments/services and get the community back involved with qrk. Right now there is nothing to discuss, nothing to talk about, nothing to make decisions on, argue about, debate. There is just nothing at all. If we all can't get together, discuss and plan, then execute some projects and services that will at the very least x10 the interest in QRK then we should all just pack up and get out of this. Let's just let QRK fizzle out since we obviously have nothing in this community except a bunch of people waiting to make money for nothing, not willing to do anything, gamble anything, donate anything, change anything or discuss anything . This action would be a gamble but a gamble taken for the good of the entire qrk community not just a few. If one of us loses we all lose. That's why we have to make sure this funding is put to maximum effect. We need to bring in some great teams that are paid out only for completed projects. I think we need to present this idea to the community and let the debate begin. We need to pick out the pros and cons and then either go for it or not. There is indeed no way to guarantee we would never do this again. I mean i guess it would depend how it turned out. If for example we did this and the services and projects created boosted qrk interest and uptake by 10000% by the time the qrk dev pot ran dry it would be view as an amazing success. If in future we wanted a nice development pot set up again, then it would again be up for vote. The bigger and more active you can grow this community on here and get people together the more the results of the vote have more power. My opinion is that if was as a community (which i view to have some pretty smart people) can not take this 10% and use it to create at least a 100% gain in interest and uptake in QRK we need to quit this and join other communities that are attracting people and creating new inventive projects daily. I mean to fail we have to attract less than 10% new investment and interest in qrk. If that happened i am happy to accept we deserve to perish. If the vote was no, then so be it. The community have spoken. I do think though a lot of people say yes or no without fully considering all possible outcomes and the level of risk and reward. To me the risk is nothing to the possible reward. We are at about 1/15th of qrks peak value, yes i know we could be back up with a few btc worth of qrk taken off of the market but still we are sinking against BTC daily. Right now we can sit here watching QRK sink or do try some things.In this case we're having a discussion when we both understand each other point of view. But we will never come to an agreement on what is the best choice. In my case , there is no financial motivation for any move. I see the superblock as a Pandora box that gets opened in a crypto world driven by hype. If quark fails , from my point of view , it fails.Why bother reviving it when we could just as easy start a new coin without the faults. In yours , there is the financial motivation. You simply can't just say drop dead. You have only two choices: - sell and take the loss - bet everything on the superblock card. I understand your point of view and your motivation. I would do the same if I were in your position just like you would be probably indifferent about the coin fate if you had 0 quarks. One final rant... Do you quark fanatics (not you cryptohunter) remember how you talked about doge and trashed it as a hype coin that would die in a week , a clone , a meme , a stupid coin Seems like that coin has only one advantage , which is quark main weakness, a community that can raise at any time a huge amount of coins to sponsors any project. |

Can be Italy, if italy loses to costa rica tomorrow, they will need to play another break or make match against suarez uruguay.
Group D is still unclear. If Italy wins both their matches, and England defeats Costa Rica (very much possible), then we'll be left with three teams at 3 points each (Uruguay, CR, and England). Only Italy is assured of a PQF spot right now. If they lose both games , they are out of the game. Remember 2010 , there is no such thing as for sure in football. So it looks pretty likely that Eng are toast
Eng, Spain...wonder which of the big nations is next
Can be Italy, if italy loses to costa rica tomorrow, they will need to play another break or make match against suarez uruguay. There is no way Italy loses to Costa Rica. That was a fluke win for them. Italy will contain them and get the win. Italy has it's way of making a mess when they are favorites and winning when they are treated like underdogs. It's one of the team that make me stay away from betting when they are involved |

Outdated map. Numbers are form 2011. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majnoon_oil_fieldThe contract with Shell and Petronas includes drilling over 40 production wells, construction of three gas separation stations and two crude oil processing refineries with overall capacity of 100,000 barrels per day (16,000 m3/d).[1][2] The official start date was March 1, 2010.[12] In the Phase I of the project, the consortium intends t o increase the production from 45,000 to 175,000 barrels per day (27,800 m3/d) within two-year period. Current production of oil 200,000 barrels per day Also , kirkuk is a dying oil field: Production at Kirkuk, discovered in 1927, has declined to 260,000 barrels a day from 900,000 barrels a day in the early 2000s, after years of injecting water and the dumping of unwanted crude and other oil products in the field. |

You said fields. Stick to the fields  They have taken the biggest oil field as well. The biggest Iraqi oil field is located to the north-west of Kirkuk. It was taken by the ISIS a week ago. Anyway, without the oil pipeline, how can they transport the oil? There are no rail-links. Again , false statement. The biggest oil field is Rumaila field followed by Majnoon , both in southern Iraq. |

The word "could" means it is possible , the word confirmed means it surely happened. Big difference. In none of the article above there is a mention of "15 rebel tanks" you also claimed. Furthermore: Reuters quoted a military source saying that as many as a thousand of fighters were engaged in fierce fighting around Krasny Liman, involving armoured vehicles, possibly tanks. Also , again you are messing with the news: The paragraph you quoted is followed by another statement: Up to 4,000 separatist fighters could be involved in Thursday's fighting near Krasny Liman, and armored vehicles and possibly tanks were being used by both sides, the military source said.
The reported use of tanks could not be independently confirmed. So , you're spreading false news and claims again... typical |
