This kind of thing is precisely why I think children should be given the vote and be allowed to make their own major decisions in life like whether they have vaccines or not, I couldn't even make up a better reason than this, these people are definitely too stupid to be having children, I'm generally open minded but doctors are one of the few people in this world you should really pay attention to.
Fair enough if they don't want to get vaccinated, seriously, I don't care that much, but when they force their children to go along with their stupid choices then that's when they cross the line.
you can't really force parents to do that.. even if it's the right thing. besides, if kids had their own choice, i'm sure most would rather.. not. You vastly underestimate the intelligence of children. True, but after a lifetime being brainwashed by idiot parents, many of them sadly beleave what their parent say when there is no-one around to teach them the truth. Then the next generation of idiots starts with the same bs and we have it going Honestly, it doesn't happen as easily as that anymore, granted a few years ago you may have been right, but I can tell you that because of how easy it is to get access to information and the internet you'll find children quickly realise whether their parents are crazies or not and are telling them lies. Even if they get banned from it there's nothing stopping them from sneaking on a phone and getting a free wi-fi hotspot etc. even more so now with Bitcoin you'll inevitably hear stories about them buying stuff with Bitcoin right under their parents' noses. sure, there are kids who break away from the indoctrination of their parents.. but to say that a vast majority of kids will end up thinking independent of their kids? nah, i strongly doubt that. they are the minority. just look at all those mormon groups, or the westboro baptist church.. or just ignorant people in general. they usually get it passed down from their parents. here's some proof how dumb people are: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ_VuGZw3cYthere were some young guys who were complaining about the depleting water source, and when asked whether they thought it was due to climate change, the said something along the lines of "no that's some made up shit by the media." they had been indoctrinated into ignorance.. and this shit happens all the damn time. |

more recently, obama's administration has laxed on marijuana legal enforcement though. they've gone on record to say that they won't bother with pressuring a state like colorado, since marijuana is still federally illegal.
Colorado is amazing really. It is very surprising that the Feds are allowing states rights to go so far. For one, it's too close to the midterm elections to dampen democrats already haphazard chances at staying the majority in the Senate for Obama to use the hotboys to clamp down on civil rights. More so, the boom in jobs, cannabis related businesses and tax revenue in CO would deteriorate if the iron fist came down in any fashion on this. Finally, polls already show Rand Paul beating Hillary in a theoretical match up in CO which is a key swing state that usually leans dem. So, in 2014 and going into 2016 there could be historic issues arising from a crackdown that would not only produce an initial backlash against democrats but also give a libertarian like Paul a major advantage in securing the nomination by having such high polling numbers against the hypothetical democrat in such a state thus making many of the non-insider, establishment republicans lean even more in his direction, thus complicating the insider one party system. we'll see if that really happens. the way it looks to me right now is wishful thinking, especially with the rand paul gaining popularity because of marijuana. actually, i would put money on rand paul not getting support from the GOP base, because they are way too extremist. the most likely thing to happen is a repeat of 2012. the republican who comes out of the primaries will have tried his hardest to convince the base (primary voters) that he is ultraconservative. and when the presidential election comes around, he will try to convince everyone how he is a moderate/libertarian. hilary will call him out for flip flopping. that's assuming that he even gets the nod.. which isn't even a given like it is for hilary. |

|
on: June 20, 2014, 06:18:38 PM

Considering so many feel that China is going to save the world economy it is not surprising that so many feel it is detrimental to Bitcoin's success. There are many reasons for this but some of the biggest are 1) Huge population 2) Restrictive government so lots of people are looking for places to stash money and 3) The Chinese people are known to love a good speculation  wait, who actually thinks china is going to save the world economy? i personally just think that china believes it is at the center of the world, that it is supposed to be the #1 superpower of the world. they have the hunger of a honey badger, which is why it would help bitcoin along so much if the government DID accept it. More like Wreck the world economy, the Chinese fake their GDP all the time. The destroy farmland and villages for ghost towns so they can keep their realestate market from collapsing. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonchang/2013/07/14/biggest-fib-of-the-year-china-gdp-grows-7-5-in-q2/yeah it's interesting to see how that all folds out.. they are artificially building towns. who in their right mind would want to invest in the real estate market there? |

Damn, I was on the verge of landing that. CB is a bitch on the issues overall but he's a welcome ally here. Rand knows how to choose folks wisely. Great news for many reasons: First, medical marijuana has massive popular support, especially among people who tend to not care for politics. Democrats will have trouble winning votes on the issue because Obama started "friendly", but eventually (the Feds) raided Medical Marijuana sites in several locations. weren't the places in colorado suspected of laundering money? i thought that was why it got the hammer. besides that, what has been raided? Good question: It's been a while since I thought about this. A 2012 Rolling Stone article is mentioned in the HufPo piece with this quote: "Amid an increased crackdown on medical marijuana producers across the nation, including a recent high-profile raid on a California training school, President Barack Obama faced questions in a new interview with Rolling Stone about the seeming disconnect between his 2008 campaign rhetoric and his administration's actions since he took office." more recently, obama's administration has laxed on marijuana legal enforcement though. they've gone on record to say that they won't bother with pressuring a state like colorado, since marijuana is still federally illegal. |

this question is way too generalized.. too many factors. where is the package coming from? where is it going? which country?
i know for china, it takes 2-3 weeks to arrive. i remember getting mail from somewhere in europe, and it got to me within a week.. yet something from canada took longer than 1 week.

Received, thanks Stunna. Will you be doing weekly payouts now?
obviously we will keep on monthly payouts. Monthly payouts is good,weekly payouts means there will be lots of works to do. Okay dude. He mentioned it earlier in the thread. Weekly payouts would be cool, but if you aren't spending or selling the BTC, then it doesn't matter if it stays on a monthly basis... it does matter though, since the price of bitcoin fluctuates so the rates paid out will vary. i think it's probably better for stunna since it's safer for him in the event that bitcoin crashes during a monthly period. it's probably wayy too much work though. |

it would be cool if we had a paul/pau 2016 campaign.. though ron would have to pulled out of retirement  but i think they are too similar and wouldn't appeal enough to the populous. The Libertarian faction of the GOP don't have the necessary support to win the POTUS elections. They should either align with the establishment faction or the Tea Party faction, in order to win the elections. at this point, it'd be a safer pick to go with a liberterian republican than with a teabagger.. and it shows in the polls. i don't know how you come up with your conclusions at all. seems like we don't agree on much, but this isn't even a political issue.. it's just extrapolation of the facts and data. http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2014/05/09/tea-party-losing-steam-among-republicans-gallup-poll/whoever comes out with the GOP nomination will already be working at a disadvantage, since they will be talking about how super conservative they are during the primaries, and then how moderate they are during the 2016 election. if rand paul can somehow get the republican nomination while maintaining a moderate partner, it would give him the best chance. |

Rooney's header was a corker. Unfortunate that it hit the bar as I think it would've changed the game. Both sides were pretty evenly matched though I'd say. i'm kind of jelly of you guys.. wish i could like soccer, but it's so damn boring to my american eyes. it's cool to be involved in an international sport.. it must be crazy this time of year for you guys.
I'll tell you what sport is boring: American Football. of all people to talk about boring sports.. a brit has to call american football boring! while travelling in thailand years ago, i met this dude who was watching some of the most ridiculous looking sports i'd ever seen.. it was cricketball or some weird ass convoluted shit. oh, and you guys love your sports with horsies. |

Ok how about this...
Bitcoin is the new currency of the world.
If you want to fu#% all banks use Bitcoin.
it's not the currency of the world.. no one really spends it when they go on vacation to belize or wherever else. it can't or won't be used as ubiquitously as paper notes too, since the blockchain would get way too big and it's a deflationary asset. |

if your going to use the word, spell it first
pseudo-decentralised
If you're going to correct his spelling, make sure you know the difference between your and you're first. Here's a quick lesson from 1st grade English class: Your = Posessive. Shows ownership. (Can I have your car?) You're = Contraction of You + Are. (You're going to use that word?) In fact your entire sentence was a disaster. I think this is what you were going for: "If you're going to use the word, learn how to spell it first". -B- lol, don't need to be so brutal.. but it is kinda funny that he's being pedantic yet doesn't know the difference between you're and your. i once had a guy tell me "your redicules."  |

I blame the welfare state (wrought by selfishness and political pandering) and erosion of a free market, otherwise immigrants would add value. America is destroying herself. Sorry if I don't go more in-depth on substantiating this opinion.
Can you elaborate on what you mean though by 'erosion of culture'? Culture is a dynamic idea.
This. Immigrant in the early days (18th to early 20th century) add value to the country. And they don't breed like rabbits. Personal responsibility and saving were encouraged. Not so any longer. Seen people abuse the marriage system, family relation to get their entire family into US. They take more than they give because of subsidy and freebie. And they abuse the credit system and commit tax fraud with no consequence. Generalization is so easy and relaxing yeah i know right? it's so convenient to be ignorant. long ago, people bred like crazy because.. well, there probably wasn't much to do, especially at night, so you end up fucking and making more kids. illegal immigration is a problem, sure, but it's not THE problem... unless you are just a xenophobe. |
