It's looking very grim for the future of europe regarding privacy and a lot of citizens don't even give a frick about it
"oh i have nothing to hide"
But i guess it's the same thing all around the world even after the NSA Snowden leaks it only took a few weeks to get back to the usual status quo...
What can we do about this when the majority of people just doesn't care about anything as long as their nutella doesn't taste like feces?

You know what you tell those "if you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" people? You tell them "In that case, you won't mind if I show your mother what kind of pornography you like."
That's kind of what i've been telling friends that told me that they had nothing to hide, but they wouldn't let me search their browser history Sad
And i don't think that this changed anything in their attitude, we need to raise awareness because if people get told that the NSA has their nudes and their porn history, maybe they'll wake up.


Ask them what they think about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLjht9uJWgw

^^^ Except for one major point. The race and religion singled out in the OP, has many times as much of the "horrendous shit" happening within it, both around the world, and in America.

You didn't even mention race or religion in your OP, but I knew that's what you were thinking because you are a caricature and don't actually possess individual beliefs of your own.

Christians kill more people in America than any other religion on a daily basis. Mental illness is pervasive across all races and religions. You're just looking for a reason to villainize people who look and think differently than you.

Source needed. Willing to bet the now defamed SPLC is involved. That or ADL. Both horse shit sources.


There's lots of horrendous shit happening in America every day. To single out one particular instance because of race, religion or ethnicity proves nothing other than you are an ass.

And ignoring the incident because of his race, religion, or ethnicity proves you are a racist of low expectations. Judging people only because the color of their skin is wrong. Even more wrong is excusing violent behavior only because of their race, religion, or ethnicity.



There is no basis for threat of punishment as a deterrent (or really anything he brings up).  Our prisons are already too extreme and violate human rights.  These kind of conditions only turn people into criminals and all of the data supports that.  Our prisons need to be rehabilitative.  Kind of like summer camp where you do activities and practice being a well-functioning human so that the transition into a normal crime-free life is smooth.

Again, more selective wokeness from the resident forum comtard. Have no argument? Call everyone racist and demand they be stopped from speaking. Yes, there is a long history of violence and burning of city centers by the African American community here, thanks for noticing.

Are you referring to this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulsa_race_riot
or this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOVE#1985_bombing
or this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombingham
or this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_race_riot_of_1919

If we were going to keep out violent immigrants, we should have started with Columbus.

You are a fucking walking caricature of selective wokeness. Blacks or African Americans commit 36% of the violent crime in the US even though they are only 13% of the population. This is according to FBI statistics. DOJ records show that between 1980 and 2008, blacks committed 52% of homicides, compared to 45% of homicides committed by whites. Also over 90% of blacks murdered, are murdered by other blacks. Black America has a violence problem.

I hear you say to yourself "oh thats ALL because of racism!" No. If this were true there would be other racial groups who had similar patterns exhibiting themselves in their statistics, but those statistics line up with police reports and convictions of other racial groups.

"The percentage of blacks arrested for crimes is consistent with police reports.

This is according to the National Crime Victimization Survey, as well as this 1985 study:

“Even allowing for the existence of discrimination in the criminal justice system, the higher rates of crime among black Americans cannot be denied,” wrote James Q. Wilson and Richard Herrnstein in their classic 1985 study, “Crime and Human Nature.” “Every study of crime using official data shows blacks to be overrepresented among persons arrested, convicted, and imprisoned for street crimes.” This was true decades before the authors put it to paper, and it remains the case decades later.

“The overrepresentation of blacks among arrested persons persists throughout the criminal justice system,” wrote Wilson and Herrnstein. “Though prosecutors and judges may well make discriminatory judgments, such decisions do not account for more than a small fraction of the overrepresentation of blacks in prison.”"

In summary, your actions, by pretending this is not a real issue directly results in millions of black deaths by trying to hide these facts. Everyone is so quick to scream about racism that the word has no meaning any more, which is why I have no problem saying these things openly at this point, because everyone sees that the real racists are the ones PERPETUATING this black genocide by trying to blame it on other ethnic groups. Who is the racist one again? The one addressing the real cause of the problem or the one trying to hide it so it can fester and grow? You don't give a fuck about any of these minority groups you supposedly champion, you simply use them as a tool to achieve your political goals.

I don't remember saying all people who call themselves Communists love destroying history. I did however say Communism relies on justifying victimizing others by claiming to be rectifying the wrong done to victim classes. If there is a historical record it makes it hard to keep using the same strategy over and over because people might see the pattern and learn from it.

"Communists love destroying history"

I don't like destroying history.
Does that make me not a communist?

Or does that mean that communism isn't "loving destroying history" but it's just a crazy person doing that?

That is not communism. It is just one missguided person trying to draw attention by not knowing what he is taking about. Communism is much worse than that and there is not much communism around anymore.

He is definitely one misguided person that doesn't know what he is talking about, but he is not the only one by far. There is plenty of Communism all around you, you just call it by another name not understanding the base principles it operates under. Using victim status to justify the victimization of others is in the DNA of Communism.

This entire event has supported the idea that our society values materials more than the lives of poor black and brown people around the world.  France has so many wrongs to right around the world yet they are completely tone-deaf to the loss of a single building.  It takes a complete naiveness towards one's privilege to use words like "devastated" and "tragedy" to describe the loss of the roof to a church you went inside one time on vacation.  Sickening.
Wtf?

Also, the heretical Catholic Church is a huge scam.  If they were actually a Christian Church, they would have auctioned off most of that art for helping the poor long ago.  Now they are taking donations instead of rebuilding with their own immense wealth.  They could solve world hunger if they wanted, but choose not to.   Shame on all parties.

What the hell dude?? Losing a building that is just the symbol of a country and its history IS a tragedy. Much more than the death of a few hundred people, being brown, yellow, white or blue.

Why the fuck Church being a scam makes the loss of Notre Dame ok? WTF is the link between French "wrongs" whatever they may be, and the catastrophe of having such symbol taken down by fire?
What's next? "oh whole Paris was destroyed by fire, but let's be realistic 1 million people die worldwide by lack of water so crying on something like this is sickening"??

~ I can see there being unintended negative consequences as a result of nuking trust ratings from banned users. I would support this being done say before they become a senior member or something such as that
This topic isn't about all banned (Autobanned) users, only Newbies can be nuked (meaning all their posts are deleted when they get banned). Anyone from Jr. Member and up can't be nuked, unless a Mod manually removes enough of their posts to derank them back to Newbie.

Is there a reason why trust comments cannot be edited, only deleted?
Without an edit history, it would be unclear what you wrote at which date.

There isn't if you just delete a trust comment and re-enter it corrected/edited either which you can do, so why not just allow an edit?  Either way there is no "paper trail."

I have personally experienced issues with this where users had left me a negative rating, then after making a topic and leaving my own negative rating for them they deleted it and reposed it to muddy the waters and make it look as if I was the first to do so over nothing. If people had not previously seen it there was no other way to verify short of staff checking logs and they aren't going to do so for that kind of petty nonsense.

First, how do moderators allow this sort of blatant racism and hatred towards an entire country?    Its one thing to be against immigration, its another thing ot be against immigration from certain "shithole" countries, but this isn't even subtle racist political policy, the OP is downright saying they are not human.  How can the owners of the site allow this to stand under their name?  Do they intend for this to be a place to spread hate?

Second, IQ is a culturally biased test so of course the more different a culture is from the default of the test, the lower scores will be.  IQ is not a measure of intelligence.  

Third, We know that natural born citizens harm children all of the time.
Can you imagine how many city centers would be on fire if a white man had thrown a black child down 3 floors?
You mean taken place throughout the entire history of the United States?

First thing in the morning and this is the first Bitcoin news that showed up in my feed... https://www.ccn.com/rich-bitcoin-trader-risks-death-penalty-for-building-home-on-the-sea/amp

I remember there was a thread here talking about this same project. Also IIRC they were still within Thailand's territorial waters. Do you think the government would push through the complaint and actually arrest the couple?

I think this case would hamper further seasteading attempts since they would all have to at least be assembled near the coast before being dragged into international waters. Governments can follow Thailand's example and file complaints while projects are still under construction.

One of Elwar's threads: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5095773.0;all

That's too bad. Its a shame Thailand is cracking down on this because it could be an economic boon to them. I suppose control is more important than their economy though. I hope they know how bad they are making themselves look by taking this move. Also generally it is not a good idea to threaten the lives of people in a community who are smart, rich, and resourceful. If they go too far they are going to create a self fulfilling prophesy and make themselves a target.

I am sure the religion of pieces had absolutely NOTHING to do with this. This is becoming a pretty clear pattern. Europe, you are going to have to make some hard choices very soon.

Quoted to prove how islamophobic you are.
At this point the cause of the fire hasn't been determined.

Phobia is usually reserved for communicating the idea of irrational fears. There are plenty of very rational reasons to be afraid of Islam. People like you would keep pretending until all of Europe is Eurabia. Keep telling yourself I am the irrational one until you are the foreigner in your own country and your will submits to theirs.

These discussions about religion are never going to end. Christians vs muslims vs hindus vs atheists vs agnostics and so on. It's just sad to think how divided people are because of this. We brand people in general even if there are also different factions and believes within that certain religion. No compromise, no giving ground, either you're with us or against us. It's just disheartening to think there will never be real peace between humans.

Frankly I personally don't care what people choose to believe as long as they believe in freedom. Unfortunately Islam is incompatible with freedom.

He said multiple times that if he was assassinated that he would release documents that would cripple the world, he has been arrested not assassinated and I fail to see anything new on wikileaks. I think spending life in prison, is close enough to being assassinated,,, but I guess not in his eyes. Unless he has a super cool implanted technology that releases the documents when his heart beat stops or somethingl like that

Its called a dead man's switch. It is well known in the cloak and dagger world of spooks and spies. It is not a James Bond type device (usually). Usually the way people who carry such sensitive data that might get them killed protect themselves is they either hand it to several sources with instructions to release on their death or vanishing and or they have some type of encryption that auto-releases upon him not triggering it to stay encrypted which must be done every X days months years etc.


Wasn't he being denied internet use at the end of his stay, since he was accused of stealing Wi-Fi? I think it's sad to see he was just bluffing.

Also the fake news says he won't be extratidated to the US because he could face the death penalty here. Don't see any mention of that here

As I mentioned in my last comment, it is possible it is on a timer and needs to be regularly refreshed. He has been releasing encrypted caches since 2010. Such a dead man's switch would only need to release decryption keys to the internet with the applicable cache file name and then the chaos would ensue. He was cut off from the internet but not all forms of contact. He could have done this task by phone or even passed instructions to 3rd parties to keep the information locked up. There is a window of time between his arrest and who knows how long that this info could be released at any moment.
