Maybe weed is most common drug, legalie it and then the gangs largely dissolve due to less business?

Not only are there gang wars but gang initiation.  Some gangs initiate their members by telling them to kill a stranger or w/e.

Pyschologically, gang members are trained / have confidence to ignore the law.  Take away the gangs and you're stuck with normal kids

the problem is that there is a lobby that wants to lock people up, especially minorities. if you remove that, then the prison-for-profit industry will take a hit.
2062  Other / Meta / Re: Some admin decided to delete my posts. WHY? on: May 21, 2014, 06:41:36 PM
how could the OP not know why his posts were deleted? they were just memes or pics, with terse sentences thrown in.. that's considered junk posting. if you look at the volume of posts made on this forum, you'll see the need to get rid of short inconsequential posts.
2063  Other / Politics & Society / Re: FBI needs stoners! Aparently all the best hackers smoke weed. on: May 21, 2014, 06:37:55 PM
the FBI should embrace it. smoking weed can help you think outside of the box and be more creative than your competition. it's not like the FBI/CIA don't have a sordid history of using drugs to achieve their agenda.

isn't dogecoin more a meme/joke than it really is a cryptocurrency? it seems more like a joke to me.. who really thinks it'd take off? its uniqueness is its name/humor..

wow zoey kush is actually very good looking. i want to tie her up and forcibly get her so high, then do things to her.

there's a reason why this continues to happen - it works. all you need to do is target the older people, as they seem to be more gullible.

Too early for mandatory moon comment?

never too soon for the moon.. fanboyism at its best. even it price is dropping, we're still going to the moon.

OP seems like one of those guys who lie through their teeth and believe every word they say. also, there's something about people who don't space after their punctuations that make me think "scammer." likely because they are foreign, possibly from a nigerian country.
2070  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Accidentally created a wallet address that someone else already has? on: May 20, 2014, 06:51:57 PM
I heard there are more Bitcoin addresses possible than there are atoms in the universe.

The number of bitcoin addresses is big.  Very VERY big.  But, to say that there are more bitcoin addresses than atoms in the entire universe is what would be called an exaggeration.

The last I saw, the number of atoms in the entire observable universe is estimated to be within the range of 1078 to 1082.

The number of possible bitcoin addresses is less than 1049.

what if someone made a computer script that automatically created addresses and checks the balances? i'm guessing that if it were the case, it still wouldn't be worth it, considering that the electricity costs would likely be more than the potential $$$ you can make by stealing from others.
2071  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Winklevoss twins: Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook #bitcoin #facebook on: May 20, 2014, 06:44:51 PM

There are few people with "decent amount of coins" compared to general population, so everyone with decent amount of coins CAN get rich.

While I would love for this to happen, the likely-hood that 1 bitcoin would reach something like $10,000 seems way too high. I know you can buy them in bits, but who would buy 1 bitcoin for $10,000?

thats like saying who would pay $600 to one just one share of apple?

Thats a pretty good example, but yes and no? Doesn't apple pay you dividends? Bitcoin doesn't pay dividends just for holding them, you can make a little if the price goes up, or lose a little if the price goes down. Same with the stock, you can lose a little if the price goes down or gain if it goes up, but in the middle you are earnings small amounts from dividends. Im really just curious I don't have vast knowledge of stocks.

Bitcoin doesn't pay dividends but that's irrelevant.  

We're talking about price being "too high".

Since one can buy in any fraction, I don't see the high price
being an issue except for a psychological issue, and even
that can be overcome by quoting prices in millibits as
some exchanges already do.

the people who say that no one would buy bitcoins even when they are at $10,000 doesn't even have a basic understanding how economics works. they are trapping themselves with their own psychological barrier.


they're probably the same people who, in 2012 when bitcoin was worth $5ish per coin, "who would buy bitcoin at $500? that's just way too high."
2072  Other / Off-topic / Re: TV Series Recommendations... on: May 20, 2014, 06:36:39 PM
This season of game of thrones is really cool!
very recommended to watch
anybody into californication? that new jewish kid is hilarious.. even if he's a stereotype. so much better than becca..i hate her character. not because of her looks, but just because she's always whining.
which season and episode?
long time didn't watch hank moody Grin
this most current season, #7.

i also really like louie.. it's not really funny, just more about a regular guy going through life. kinda sounds boring, but i like its eccentricity in that louie isn't like any other tv show - it seems random like life.

education is a right because it benefits humanity the more you have it. less crime if you are more educated.

Join me. I do it everyday.
what does that really do or change though? i can't deny it.. i'm just a half glass empty. at the direction the world is going today, our species will have reached it critical mass. it's getting close to the time when more people start dying off than the ones that survive. once the world economies collapse, a lot of money is going to get lost.. and production of everything, especially food.
2076  Other / Off-topic / Re: FACEBOOK IS DEAD on: May 20, 2014, 06:44:25 AM
Facebook is a cancer. People does not realise that they are wasting time for interaction with illusionary friends and neglect their real life buddies and family. On top of that they are invigilated by NSA and all info on them is stored forever. Facebook is tool to keep all sheeps in a farm.

I try not to get too conspiracy nutted out, but this is pretty much accurate. It makes people zombies and is really quite sad. Everywhere I look, people are glued to their phones. Hardly talk to each other. Every once in a while I see them get that sick smile (they just got a notification!) It's pretty sad that it seems so many are so contented by these social media interactions, so they will neglect the rest of their life (really keeping in touch with friends and family). And for sure, the fact that Facebook stores all information forever -- even unfinished search terms that you never entered -- is pretty scary.

yeah, it feels like we are kind of in a slumber.. we've just turned into animals standing on an assembly line. they're feeding us stupidity as nutriment, and we're just chowing it down. our attention span is being programmed to shorten its length. well, yo know what? when that shit happens, if you're the bad gay, you can get away with doing more crazy shit.

kind of reminds me of wall-e.
2077  Economy / Speculation / Re: Winklevoss twins: Bitcoin will be bigger than Facebook on: May 20, 2014, 06:41:21 AM
Yeah but every time i see their faces i kind of want to punch them. That's got to count for something.

Strange. I don't feel the same. And I doubt very few people are sharing your emotions here. And let's take a close look at the picture below. Tell me your emotions about it. Do you feel like punching him?
 


yeah he mark whalberg has a really douchey look too.. but i feel guilty when i think that, because how fair is it to judge someone based on their looks?
2078  Other / Off-topic / Re: What do you do to have fun when you are sad ? on: May 20, 2014, 06:34:33 AM
the quick answer for most of us guys is: masturbate. and then you feel shitty about it, so when you start to panic.. and then you do it again.

What kind of person feels crappy about jerking it?!

Keep in mind it's like a game, too. It's more fun when you play with a friend!

if you're jerking it off, say 5 times a day, that might be a bit much. jerking it makes you lose your edge, or your energy (as some boxers feel). but yeah, doing it 5 times a day is too much, and when you feel like you can't control yourself, you just feel like shit.

Do people seriously get to the point where they can't help but keep pounding away? I haven't heard of this. And your name is so ironic for this conversation. Just beet it!

there's every kind of mental disorder really. and yes, there are definitely people like this.. and it's mostly guys. it's called sex addiction, and it's probably more common than we thinks - it's just that, you know, if you have a sex addiction, you don't really talk about it that much.

but yeah, i've met a handful of people who have dedicated their lives to seeking out sex.. and it's probably a miserable existence, because you are digging through an endless well.

I think it is not miserable at all, I think they will be happy doing it.

on reddit, look for the subreddit nofap (http://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/).. there are lots of people who find value in abstaining from fapping. maybe you enjoy it, i'm not saying that you don't.. but others, not necessarily so.

I want to add on that there's a difference between doing it because you enjoy it and losing control altogether. Studies have shown that 3-5 releases per day is good and helps prevent testicular cancer and clears toxins from the blood. As far as I'm aware there is no maximum (and you will not hurt yourself by going at it a thousand times a day). The issue is about people losing control and it affecting their lives. Just like with any other thing (drugs, drinking, etc.).

as with any addiction, it can become something that you don't even like doing.. but for whatever reason, your mind keeps telling you to do it. i think with anything, that's a smoking gun for what addiction is. if there's anything that you continue to do, in spite of knowing that it doesn't make you feel good, it's an addiction.

You mean that racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic goat-fucking, thinks-his-shit-doesn't-stink guy? Somebody should vet his fucking ass to see who the fuck is paying him to destroy so many lives. I don't believe for one fucking minute that he really did have 1000 bitcoins stolen by whatever that site is called. He's the cancer around here, marc my words.

I apologize for the cussing, but I honestly can't stand the prick.

yeah, he doesn't have the squeaky clean image that most here think.

you should buy pizza for as many people have replied to this thread!

lets say $20/pizza that's 22.5 pizzas

what's he going to do, buy pizzas, take the slices and put them in a box for airmail? no offense to OP, but if he sent me his stale pizza, i probably wouldn't eat it.
