That is also why no one cares about Tibet.

The NATO and the US doesn't care about Tibet because they don't have the balls to stand up to the Chinese bullying.

When you think about it, keeping a woman from driving is not as bad as killing Iraqis or the Chinese sending tanks to crush a Tibetan riot.  Roll Eyes

When think about it again, if SA was just about keeping women from driving, but it is also the country with more Death Penalties sentences and executions in the planet, followed by Iran and the "now Democratic" Egypt, maybe they just suck.

Um.  Have you read the book of Revelation?  Satan will get his due reward!  Also, God will stop suffering.  He will "Wipe the tears from our eyes" the Bible says and "He will make a new heaven and and  new earth."  So there will be a "new planet" if you will where we will live in peace.

LOL! Revelations, I wonder what drug whoever wrote that was under! Magic mushrooms, maybe.

God doesn't exist without Satan. Who invented one, invented the other. They are not real creatures of any sort, they are representations of Good and Evil, the eternal struggle you can observe on most anything. The best example can be the air pressure, your body just keeps its shape because your internal pressure (we can call it Good) matches the external atmospheric pressure (we can call it Evil), but if you get into an environment where "Good" or "Evil" prevails over the other your body will either be crushed or explodes.

But even between "Good and Evil" we have relativity. What is "Good" for one can be "Evil" for the other. How to manage that?  Grin

That's a total misunderstanding of what science is! And that's the major issue while talking with religious folks, they think "science is a religion" so we can lower it to our grounds and discuss it over insanity of this or those in the way we discuss between Christians, Jews and Muslims.

Too bad... it doesn't work like that! Sorry to disappoint you.

Science is NOT a belief system, nobody "believes in Darwin", just his theories have way more ground than the bullshit you can find at the Bible, Torah or Quran, but it does NOT make Darwin God or even "right". If you can provide a better theory, and by better I mean better constructed and supported by evidence - not Godly bullshit - his theories will drop to second line and eventually will be ditched.
So that's all that resumes science: Science is Science, nothing to believe all to discuss.

As footnote, before anyone goes that way: "Scientology" has absolutely nothing to do with science. That thing is just yet another religious bullshit branch.

Unfortunately,  I believe that science has become an excuse to not believe in God.  It is a way for many people (not all), who don't want to believe in God or be accountable to one, to have a great excuse not to. 

So long for the "it should be a choice" thing of your previous post, eh?
Nobody uses science to "not want to believe in God", that's outrageous absurd! One can is choose to believe in God or Gods for whatever reason. Science is not "believable", there's no such thing as "belief in science", it either does work and can provide solid evidence of such, or doesn't, nothing to "believe" there. Your car doesn't work because "you have faith".

This just proves, again, the point that "terrorist" is a meaningless word. US is also good on doing that, not around religion, yet, but we can see how it relabeled the UÇK Terrorists at Kosovo to "freedom fighters" or more recently the dozens of fanatic Muslim crackpot groups at Syria.

Back on topic, this "law" sounds more like:

Islam is our insane bullshit and we want to keep that insane bullshit. Let us be insane! Don't be a rational terrorist!
1227  Other / Politics & Society / Re: 22 Messages From Creationists To People Who Believe In Evolution on: April 01, 2014, 06:35:51 PM
But still, in this subject I believe it has more to do with want to believe then actually believe.
Many of religious people aren't dumb, they are perfectly aware of the religion flaws, lack of coherence and myths. The problem is that science is ice cold and deliver the news in a pretty icy way.

We want and actually need some sort of purpouse, religion made up God and Gods for that end. Not much of a purpouse anyway to roam around to "praise God", but still a purpouse. Science on the other end just tell us "hey! You are just a sort of chimp with a larger brain, evolved totally random among the other animal species"... not much of PR here.  Grin

But... AFAIK the Chinese with money enough to play with Bitcoin doesn't need the Chinese banks for nothing, they have money scattered all over Europe and US. The ones fully dependant of Chinese banks barely have enough for rice, leave alone Bitcoins.

Seems the new Samsung Galaxy S5 and The HTC One M8 are the current leaders. Both have similar specs, just don't get an iphone.

iPhone isn't high end.
iPhone 5: Dual-core 1.3 GHz, 8MP cam, 1 GB RAM,
Samsung S4: Quad-core 2.3 GHz, 13MP cam, 2 GB RAM

Technically, an iPhone is comparable to a cheap China Mobile in the 100~200 EUR price range.
Well, the CPU frequency/num. of cores of iPhone is obviously slower/lesser than S4/HTC One, but the CPU performance is just hell lot better than both of them.

Check out their Geekbench score. http://www.macworld.com/article/2049270/benchmarks-iphone-5s-lives-up-to-the-hype.html

Iphone 5S Cheesy

+1

Those benchmarks makes no sense, iPhone and Android are way too different at OS level to can be compared like that as even if the app has the same label it has a different code and approach.
Still, one of the biggest advantage of iOS when it comes to performance was to trash Java and Flash junk. Android ditched Flash junk, but it's mostly Java. Java should actually change their motto from "Over 300 billion devices uses Java" to "Over 300 billion devices crashes with Java" (or go dead slow).
1230  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is College Worth it? So many graduates In Debt/Underemployed on: March 28, 2014, 10:35:17 PM
Main issues as I see it:

1. Offer and Supply rules. If too much people graduate a graduation will worth nothing.

2. Wrong direction, 90%+ wants the graduation to get a good job. For this technical education should be enough, college should be for people up to create jobs.

3. Governments living up for statistics, so to display a population with "high education" they create all sort of useless graduations.

Due to the uncontrollable rage of Bitcoin community towards Apple you won't be able to hear both sides.

 There is no uncontrollable rage against Apple, Apple is the one that can't manage its own will to control everything the idiots who buy their way overpriced gear can or can't do with their devices. At some point "the Gods of Apple" decided to collide with the Bitcoin community by removing the Bitcoin apps and make it unholy, not our community fault.

You have no rights or freedoms by birth, you're 100% dependent, without any chances whatsoever of survive on your own and humans bundle with a formatted HD. That's what makes us prevail over the other species, the ability to change our own OS.

Trees, land, gold, oil... doesn't belong to you or anybody by any god-given right, we simply take possession of it, stealing it out of the planet. Has nothing to do with tree-huging, is just a simple fact.

Governments can provide you means of defend yourself using government force, such as police or military, a "right" you don't have on its absence, where either you can defend yourself or you are a sitting duck to the next thug you come accross.
The role of the government must be to act as referee over freedom collision, your "freedom" must end where the others' freedom starts.

And we must not forget human nature, we are but a bunch of parasites in this planet that makes stealing (when it's not from humans we call it "harvest" and disguise it as "work") a way of life. Imagine this nature set loose... not a good sight.  Tongue
We didn't conquered this planet by being nice chumps.

Slavery and governments are independent things. Governments does NOT prevent slavery, slavery does NOT need governments to exist.
So IDK what are you guys going around here!  Huh

Dig a bit on how and why public education was created.
It has nothing to do with what you said.
1239  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Necessity: The Argument of Tyrants on: March 25, 2014, 03:05:46 PM
Education and the illusion of freedom. Never stops to amaze me!
Ever wonder why or how public schools and education were made for, their main purpose?

After asking Neteller Support they confirmed that a manual transaction can not be reversed.

No, Virwox no longer supports Neteller and I would advise highly against their service. The lack of transparency from their side is absurd, they take single side complaints and reverse transactions (all of them), to add injury to the pain, they will froze your account meanwhile. Neteller Support is the most stupid system in the web, they have no clue about nothing and the answer they gave you seconds this up.

Summing it up, Neteller as a service is a scam. If you intend to use this sort of services, and even if the risk is equally very high, try Skrill.
