These are slogans, they mean nothing to an average Cuban.
I suggest you go and live in Cuba for a few months, just make sure you don't take more than $20/month with you. You'll very quickly learn what it is like to live in Cuba. You will change your mind in a New York minute.
They are actual facts not slogans. Those generalized facts literally apply to the average cuban. Why don't you go live in the next hurricane Maria or Katrina? I wonder what life is like living in America as a dead baby. I am not the one who advocates that living in hurricane-affected areas is good for you. You said that communism offers many benefits so I suggested you go and live there to verify your hypothesis. BTW, natural disasters such as hurricanes are not related to the economic system. How you correlated the two is beyond me. I guess some brains work in the mysterious ways, LOL. |

OMG! That's enormous!, sorry for your loss, it would be of great help if you could elaborate where coins where held, is it a multi wallet(If Yes, which wallet ?) how it happen or what you could think have happened ? A malware installation, phishing site and or anything that is more specific.
The coins were held in these locations (order corresponding to the list in my first posting): Currency Place DASH Qt-Wallet on Laptop BCH ElectronCash on Laptop BTC Binance.com BTC Kraken.com NEM Simplewallet on Laptop BURST Desktop wallet on Laptop BTC Exodus wallet on Laptop OmiseGo Exodus wallet on Laptop LTC Exodus wallet on Laptop BCH Exodus wallet on Laptop DASH Exodus wallet on Laptop Basically it was a stupid combination of failures. I use Windows 10 and tried to claim BTCP and BCD. Both with the Electrum version for their blockchains. I used the same long password for different things - especially my password safe had the same pw as the DASH QT wallet. So after I started the Electrum clients (which I tested before with Defender, SuperAntiSpyware and www.virustotal.com) I had to do a little thing in DASHQT - that was it - the one of the wallets, most likely BCD, spied my password through a keylogger and the hacker had access to everything. (there is no need to discuss the stupidity of using Win10, same passwords many times, storing 2FA codes in password safes or testing new software on a vulnerable system) I feel sorry for you. It can happen to anyone. Problem is you had too many altcoin wallets on your machine. You should have only run bitcoin.org core offline wallet compiled from sources. You should have used a dedicated, clean machine to access your coins or online accounts. And never web browse or install anything on that machine. QT Wallets should be encrypted and stored on removable USB drives, only connected when sending. Blockchains should be updated with dummy wallets. You should have run 'core' wallet apps, not use online or third party wallets. The 2FA devices should be dedicated hardware (old phones) and not connected to any network. Why in the world did you use password safes? BCD? Really? I did not even know they existed, I would not bother with any bitcoin splits. I recovered BTG/BCH but this was done on an old PC with BTC moved to another wallet after the fork and before the recovery attempt. I would not trust any wallet other than bitcoin.org core wallet. If you're really paranoid, inspect the sources, compile from sources on a dedicated dev machine. This is everyone's worst nightmare. Spend some money on dedicated 'POS' equipment and never touch it unless you move coins or access exchange accounts. And keep the wallet, blockchain backup on multiple devices in multiple physical locations. This just shows you, bitcoin is still in an early adoption phase. It is still not for everyone. PS. Why would anyone keep all these altcoins is beyond me? Store your money in BTC in bitcoin.org core wallet and forget all the BS coins. |

Life is pretty good in Cuba.
...
Which part? And more importantly for whom? Have you been to Cuba? No tienes ninguna idea. Well I'd like to start by saying its better for hurricane victims. In 2017, hurricane Irma was a direct hit on Cuba as a cat5. It killed 10 people there and weakened before hitting Florida where it killed 84 people. By contrast, Hurricane Maria was a hurricane of similar strength and killed over 3000 people. Its not even close. Disaster preparedness in the US is a disaster itself and despite aggressive embargo and significantly lower national resources, Cuba does so much more with less. Its not just disaster preparedness, Cuba also leads the way in Latin America when it comes to healthcare, education, and sustainability.  These are slogans, they mean nothing to an average Cuban. I suggest you go and live in Cuba for a few months, just make sure you don't take more than $20/month with you. You'll very quickly learn what it is like to live in Cuba. You will change your mind in a New York minute. |

Religion changes very slowly if at all to the world around us making it difficult to apply its knowledge to new problems and circumstances. Science is self-correcting, constantly challenging ideas, throwing out old ones in place of new and better ones.
Religion exists to understand the fundamental questions of everything. Science can't even touch these fundamentals. Science exists to relate things to each other. Science is barely scratching the surface in relating things to each other.  Jesus fucking Christ, get off your religion horse, would you? You are such a pretentious prick!!! - Religion provides answers without evidence.
- Science provides answers based on evidence.

People like to comment how the Bible was written by men all-be-it inspired by God. However, there is one section that was in fact written by the hand of God himself; the 10 commandments.
#2: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments." -- Exodus 20:4-6
The CGI images of fake globe Earth produced by NASA are in direct violation of the ten commandments given to man by God.
''However, there is one section that was in fact written by the hand of God himself;'' In fact you say, you know it was written by god because what? The bible said so? LUL. You speak from enthusiasm not from facts. You have no idea about how improbable the Bible is to be fake.Once you realize that Moses was not a historical figure, the whole story will make more sense. What do you base your opinion on? History. |

Last time I checked 84+10=94 Read the article he posted again. You know, I keep reading it over and over again, and I don't see any reference to globally... Scientists do live outside of America. Learn to read and get back to me. You just like to argue with random people on the Internet, for no apparent reason. Do you need validation? Is that it? As for the article, it says 94% of scientists agree that global warming is happening. I think we are done here. Sigh... its sad that so many lazy and or ignorant people demand to be spoon fed all the time rather than actually taking the time to analyze really simple stuff. I promise using your brain stops hurting after a while once you get used to it. He is claiming that his source represents a GLOBAL consensus among scientists, which is not at all what his source says. His source is a POLL of a small portion of ONLY AMERICAN scientists, but not like any of you take the time to read your own sources right? Yes, we are done here. Google is your friend. https://skepticalscience.com/global-warming-scientific-consensus-intermediate.htmJust relax. The debate is over. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEb49cZYnsE&feature=youtu.be |

ALL SCIENTISTS... GLOBALLY... mmkay. I will let you have fun on a snipe hunt trying to source that like a good little monkey. Now go... source your claim Mr. smarty pants.
Like... That was litteraly my post one page ago? Do you suffer from short term memory loss? Cause that would explain a lot.

I don't get all this talk about the wall. Why is he even talking about it? Still campaigning? The issue with the border control should be relegated to the army. Especially since the US is facing an invasion. Army should be building the border wall from their budgets. Move soldiers from the Middle East and build the fucking wall. Stop talking, start building. You don't need a beautiful wall, you need a few rows of razor wire steel fence with a minefield in between and you are done. This is not a beauty contest. The US supposed to have the best military in the world. Where the fuck are they? Vacationing abroad? Move the military bases from abroad and put them on the southern border. |

How do you call the son of a king? A prince right?
Jesus is the son of God, and he is also a God because he comes from Him.
In Christian mythology, Jesus was a son of God who oversees Earth from heaven, which is just above the clouds. His mom was a virgin and he was conceived by an angel (humanoid spirit with large wings attached to his back) without coitus. The myth is that he was born a very clever boy and eventually mastered the art of carpentry and then became a rabbi. The story says that he was accused of claiming that he was a king of Jews and was executed for that crime. He was found alive three days after his execution and then ascended to heaven and now sits next to his father in heaven, just above the clouds. The myth also identifies him as one with the father and another unidentified spirit. Catholics also believe that the wine the priest drinks during mass literally becomes the blood of Jesus and the cracker you consume during mass is literally the body of Jesus. The means by which this is happening in churches around the world every Sunday is believed to be supernatural and is believed to be 100% true. In reality, there is no contemporary historical evidence that this Jesus person existed. Moreover, many historians and literary experts actually postulated that the character of Jesus is actually many myths combined into one. We have explored the heaven and space further away from Earth and we have determined that the Earth is a planet (like countless other planets) and is in a solar system, like many other planetary systems in our galaxy. Humans cannot survive death. We are mammals and cannot be born to a virgin (without modern day medical technology). No spirits, angels, Gods of ANY kind have ever been detected using our modern day technology. Crackers are crackers. Wine is not blood. |

I miss the Soviet Union. I never visited the country during its 72 years of existence, and I didn’t much like what I read about it in late-Cold War newspapers and library copies of Soviet Life: the long queues for bread, the military parades presided over by impassive bemedaled field marshals, the kitschy tributes to dictators, the Olympians inflated by performance-enhancing drugs. Communism, with its denial of both God and the individual, never appealed to me as a way of life, and I doubt it was much good for the Russian worker, the Polish worker, the East German worker, or the Yugoslavian worker. Communism was, however, fantastic for the American worker. It’s no coincidence that the golden age of American equality, that period from the 1940s to the 1970s when the gap between CEOs and employees hit its all-time low, was almost exactly coterminous with the Cold War. As any capitalist will tell you, competition is good for the marketplace. It forces businesses to create better products and more efficient services for consumers. The same is true for capitalism itself: as a means of raising the living standards of an entire society, it never functioned better than when it was forced to compete with a rival economic system. [...] An economy without a marketplace will produce only the bare minimum necessary for survival. But capitalism, in its rawest form, leads to the same result. Unless tempered by unionization or a social welfare state, the iron law of wages reduces the majority of workers to a subsistence level, while creating vast wealth for a tiny ownership class. Ronald Reagan advanced a false dichotomy between Communism and capitalism that is still with us, 25 years after his presidency ended. It’s true, as Louise Bryant said in “Reds,” that Communism would never have worked in the United States — but capitalism isn’t working as well without it. http://www.salon.com/2014/04/01/communism_saved_the_american_worker_how_soviet_competition_raised_our_living_standards/ Be careful what you wish for. The US is heading in this direction. This time it will the US turn to have millions die of starvation, isolate themselves from the rest of the world, build (Berlin like) walls etc. Majority of young people in the US are ready for communism and would embrace this system with open arms, the ones who will be against it will be killed or marginalized, IMHO. These changes can happen within a generation or two, so be careful what you wish for. Communism is evil, no matter where in the world it exists. |

Even if you assume that everything you (or Lennon, or any other schmuck) says is true (which you cannot prove), it still does not answer a question who created your personal Creator?
This personal creator is eternal, always in existence, no point of origin. Okey, dokey. Problem "solved". Thanks, genius. |

Jesus was not a historical person. The myth was built on many "Joshua" characters. It was a common name among the Jews.
.....
Well, that argument has been around a long time. I don't think it's been proven or disproven. I listened to a really good audio book some time ago, where the prof did a historical analysis. https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Historical-Jesus-Audiobook/B00DC8EQOII guess I would comment I liked the prof's method of analysis, but of course he could not prove or disprove this question, only cite the evidence and use analytic methods and such. To be fair it is possible that it was a common name among the Jews, however considering that his birth and death have been used as a split on our timeline into BC and AD shows something. To have a modern calendar based on his life is amazing by any standard. This religion was a political system for a long time. Census, time was recorded by monks as they were the most educated people. Not having any historical contemporary evidence of Jesus existence and believing in this myth is madness in my opinion. In any period in our human history, the historical figures left some contemporary historical evidence. But not Moses or Jesus. That should tell you something. |

Even if the majority of scientists believed evolution, so what?
So, after you literaly said "not a majority of scientists believe in evolution" you admit you're wrong at least? I think the key phrase is "Even if" I'm trying to go step by step... First he says "not a majority of scientists believe in evolution" so I want to at the very least make him admit that he was wrong (probably just lying) and that the very vast majority do agree on the evolution theory. Then we'll try to explain him why 97% of the scientists of the world are very unlikely to be wrong... Lennox's explanation shows how evolution and God are perfectly compatible. Here's his quote. "The success of science sometimes leads people to think that because we can understand the mechanisms of the universe, then we can safely conclude that there was no God who designed and created the universe in the first place. This reasoning commits a logical error in that it confuses mechanism and agency. Consider a Ford motor car. It is conceivable that someone who was seeing one for the first time and who knew no science might imagine that there is a god (Mr. Ford) inside the engine, making it go. Of course, if he were subsequently to study engineering and take apart the engine, he would discover that there is no Mr. Ford inside it. He would also see that he did not need to introduce Mr. Ford as an explanation for its working; his grasp of the impersonal principles of internal combustion would be enough to do that. However, if he then decided that his understanding of the principles of how the engine worked made it impossible to believe in the existence of a Mr. Ford who designed the engine in the first place, this would be patently false. Had there never been a Mr. Ford to design the mechanisms, none would exist for him to understand. It is equally mistaken to suppose that our scientific understanding of the impersonal principles according to which the universe works makes it either unnecessary or impossible to believe in the existence of a personal Creator who designed, made, and upholds it." Even if you assume that everything you (or Lennon, or any other schmuck) says is true (which you cannot prove), it still does not answer a question who created your personal Creator? All this mental gymnastics does it creates more questions (who, what, when, how, why etc). It is better not to invent mythical figures and look at the problem rationally. How did multicell life originate? Probably as a freak accident, one single protocell fused with another and this resulted in new internal organelles. How did a single protocell organism form? Probably as a means to optimize chemical reactions. How did the Big Bang started? We don't know for sure. Probably it was caused by random quantum fluctuations that caused a significant decrease in entropy, causing positive feedback which resulted in the Big Bang. See Poincaré recurrence theorem. Maybe our universe always was and always will be in one form or another, doing Big Rip/Big Bangs every 10^10^10^10^56 years. A bigger, non-scientific question is why does universe or cosmos exist at all? I am sure religions will give you a lot of cop-out answers to that question. |

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” >>
I've noted this previously, in response to those fools who look for religious "miracles." the Bible itself and your very quotes from it strongly suggests that belief cannot be based on facts and evidence. Accordingly all those religious arguing foolishly about scientific evidence for good should immediately shut the fuck up. I can see from your response how closed minded and biased you are my man, I'm just showing this to glimpse to you atheists and maybe get you to wonder if you've really seen 100% of reality. God is not advertising himself asking us to believe in Him. He doesn't need us, it looks like you've read the Bible, just as a reminder let me tell you that out of all nations, there was only ONE nation that He loved. After Jesus had died for our sins we all got the opportunity to be close to God by just exerting faith in Jesus. The reason Christians are able to perform miracles among the unbelievers is because Jesus wants to show he loves every individual person believer or unbeliever. It doesn't mean however there can't be evidence to prove God is real, you can find it if you look for it. There's historic evidence, social evidence, geological all you can ask for, you simply need to accept what is real instead of showing obsessive enthusiasm towards an idea cause that's called fanaticism. Let me help you with your delusion. Jesus was not a historical person. The myth was built on many "Joshua" characters. It was a common name among the Jews. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUYRoYl7i6U I've heard that one. You need something better to debate that, something more than just opinions. How can you say something so stupid when even time has been devided in a before and after Christ. Always go for the facts. You don't get it, there is nothing to debate. |

Male Feminist Ends Life After False Accusation During Women's March https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osjDb4bjQQwConsidering that men and boys are falling behind by practically every metric, when will we be "equal" enough? There are very good reasons we have made the standard "innocent until proven guilty", but for some reason that is irrelevant when it comes to men's rights. Is there a point at which women will ever achieve their goal of equality, or does this have to turn into an open supremacy movement before people will stop it? They should have identified her and prosecute her. His family should sue her in civil court for damages. The guy was a weakling. Who cares that she "accused" him? I would not care if a thousand women accused me. I would worry about being convicted. I would welcome accusations as a way to make money in countersuits. As far as equality goes. Well, sex equality cannot be achieved because we are not the same biologically. Equal rights were achieved a long time ago. Now the pendulum swings in the other direction. This not only applies to equality of sexes but race as well. Affirmative action is both racist and sexist. But what can you do? Work harder. That is what I tell my son. He needs to be twice as good as any girl or visible minority. Some medical programs (Queen's University QuARMS is a good example) have been completely shut for white males. They don't admit white males, period. White males are discriminated big time these days, but what can you do. Work harder that is all you can do. |
