And the worst is walking home on foot for kilometers for not having money for transportation   Shocked. Then sleeping on the street because their wives have driven them away from home. Wow. I cant imagine how gamblers can be so hardheaded.  

Its happening to some people right now, feel sorry for them. Now people here should learn from this kind of situation before its too late, learn to control your emotion and always remember your family. Don't ever sacrifice your life into this kind of addiction, because it can really break not only your life but of course of your family.

If in online gambling, then I don't think that everyone will walk home, but in real life casinos, well it is possible, and it happens if you are careless when betting. Just like a father who thinks that he is single and by all means bet all that he has.

There are times that gamblers don't think anymore, as long as they could follow what they are feeling. Forgetting everything, including their debts and obligation.

Honestly, when I see a special child, at first I am smiling (I am entertained inside) but I didn't reach the point that I am making fun of them. I sometimes ask their names ( Just a friendly gesture ) so they would not feel uncomfortable because of what they are. After all, they are still human, who knows, they could help me in the future.

103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think Bitcoin will survive after 100 year ? on: March 14, 2018, 06:39:17 AM
Personally, I saw Bitcoin will get more high price. In the future, people won't invest our money in land, property as land, gold or house...
It will be Bitcoin (crytocurrency)

I'm a bit skeptical about this. I think people would be rushing to buy land and house after earning bitcoin. Lots of those who will earn will also invest in what they can use in the future. Remember that each year the price of house and lots is going to increase, and I know that everyone knows that, and would prioritize it instead of investing it all in bitcoin, you need house after all.

Uniforms are good as it helps you focus on your studies and not the clothes.

It is not just about the concentration, but it also removes the unwanted pressure to purchase expensive clothes. T

Parents could save a lot if they would only buy atleast three pairs of uniform each year.

his may sound ridiculous, but I have seen school-children (especially the girls) spending almost all of their savings for purchasing expensive clothes and perfumes.
That's true, this is common in youth, during their high school days, they would spend their allowance on what would make them feel beautiful. What's more ridiculous about this is when you look at them after applying their make ups, they look more like a muffin sprinkled with cornstarch.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some of my friends still think Bitcoin is scam and Ponzi on: March 14, 2018, 05:41:34 AM
If I were you, I won't tell them that much about bitcoin. Let them think what they are thinking, we need quality bitcoin user and not just another money seeking individual.

If you want them to think that bitcoin is not a scam then show them some examples (mostly positive things that happens to you because of bitcoin) then probably with that way they might change their minds.
106  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What are the causes of climate change? on: March 14, 2018, 05:03:29 AM
The number one cause of Global warming is Carbon Dioxide which is also produced because of the ever growing technology. If you want to stop it, then stop using sophisticated gadgets that use carbon or produced using fuels.

Honestly, I think we can't stop this from happening, or if we want to then stop the developments and progress that the world is doing, in short go back to primitive earth.
107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Walk of Shame on: March 13, 2018, 10:55:33 AM
I think it happened to me when I was in High School I lost all of my money in a bet ,
We played DOTA back then and we always manage to win but in a certain time we go to one of our School mates place to gamble and my team ended up losing .

If I were you, I would not consider that as a walk of shame, that's a great experience after all. High school days are the best, so you should consider it as one of your memorable and happiest days of your life(unless you hate to walk or you are doing it every day, then that's F* bad).

But that's embarrassing if you fail and at the same time your grades are failing too.
108  Other / Politics & Society / Re: If we can educate our kids at home why do we need to send them at school? on: March 13, 2018, 10:20:58 AM
I think governments want our kids to attend schools so they become good little institutionalized citizens that will obey without question.

I don't think that it is going to work that way. The children will remain loyal to the authorities until 14-15 years of age. But after that, when they learn the important things about the government and the authorities, they will start to question them. With each new generation, the kids are getting more and more rebellious.

That's definitely what I've observed with my own kids, they aren't even in high school yet and they already see politicians as pathological liars. I'd say it's mostly from my influence and mistrust of politicians but youtube plays a big part. With access to internet and the ability to choose whatever they want to watch on youtube they are exposed to a much different world view (from trending youtubers) than the main stream media projects on adults.

So 8-10 year olds now pick up on the political views of older kids in the age zone you've used as an example and absorb those views without question. The rebelliousness (if that's a real word) is not such a bad thing in many cases either, I've seen kids filming police breaking the law and questioning the cops because they know the cop has broken the law, they seem to have moral compass that allows them to question anything they think is unjust.

Just guide them properly so they would see the truth only, some of the news in social media is one sided, and worst, misleading. Your influence really plays a great part on your child's judgement on things. That's one good part of educating a child in the house, they learn what you expect them to learn while in schools they would learn different things and probably.

But still, I would like children to be in school than just educating them, it would give them knowledge that I can't give them.
109  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you encourage friends and family to invest in crypto? on: March 13, 2018, 09:41:16 AM
I'm not a typical man who would talk a lot, but when someone is asking me something I do answer it with what i know.

I don't invite anyone too, to join me on what I'm doing, but when someone asks me that he wants to then I'll let them in, including a close friend or a family member. I don't encourage them to know bitcoin, but of course I introduce it to them so that they know what it is. But because of that introduction that I made, some of my friends are now starting to use bitcoin.  Cool
110  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Loosing motivation on: March 13, 2018, 07:36:52 AM
Instead of finding a motivation(usually from other people) why not have a goal to finish? Like, for this year, you want to buy your own car, then it should be your focus the whole year, or you want a house then loan and go for it. See? it's easier that way than finding someone to push you and motivate you.

Just be realistic with your goals, it should be achievable or else it will lead to frustration and would just push you back to your cave of depression( because you didn't reach your goal)
111  Economy / Speculation / Re: Saving for your Children Bitcoin vs Cash? on: March 13, 2018, 07:10:37 AM
In my opinion, it is safer and more practical to keep your money in real estate. You know why? Sooner or later price of the house and lot would be more than double and it keeps on increasing because of the demand.

You could keep some in Bitcoin if your goal is to make your grandchildren use bitcoin and not for its value in dollars.
112  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Have you experienced discrimination in the work? on: March 13, 2018, 06:43:20 AM
Sometimes I do face it. The women in the office are treated better than us.

Well, they really need to be treated nicely in the office in certain times, just like when there are tasks that are harder for them to accomplish, like lifting heavy objects or running fast to the other branch, then men should do that. However, when it comes to performance, it should be fair.

In where I work, there is not much discrimination as we don't have redundant tasks, each has his/her own things to do. But on my job before, there is this favoritism, some of those suckers are favored over us who work hard and not that near the kitchen(boss's office)
113  Economy / Economics / Re: what benefits you've got from bitcoin in 2017 on: March 13, 2018, 06:25:06 AM
Last 2017 was not great for me in Bitcoin as it is the time when lots of seminars and out of town works have been given to me by my boss. No time to even visit the forum, the charts, in short I am only here during the first and last quarter of the year and the only bitcoin I have is from 2016.

But still I make money from that and I could say that I wasn't left behind that far and I could say that I am still part of the trip(I'm still on the bus).
114  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How can terrorism be stopped on: March 13, 2018, 05:32:22 AM
I think terrorism will never end, because there are two kind of terrorist. the first one is some one is really bad guy and make a terror, I think this kind of terrorist could be stopped. the second one is some political conspiracy who create a terrorist to gain benefit from the chaos situation, I think this kind of terrorism not easily being eliminated. the second kind of terrorism is the majority one.

The result of both is the same. If other countries could do something to at least suppress them, then everyone could. Two things, it's either you fight them or you negotiate with them and eliminate them little by little.

Now, terrorists have a reason, they don't just kill or terrorize people because they want to,  but mostly it is political, they have some grudges to the government that can't be solved and fueled by politicians who will use the emotions of the leaders of these terrorists then there you go.
115  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: March 13, 2018, 05:04:36 AM
I can agree with that as I also personally know some people who are unemployed but find Bitcoin as their main source of income. So I think Bitcoin really has played a role in helping out those people who are currently unemployed at the moment; and Bitcoin can do pay a hefty amount if only you knew the nooks and tricks in trading and investing in Cryptos.

The big question is, are all the unemployed people in the earth has access to the internet?

With that said I can say that only those who are at least in the middle class could afford to pay their connection and of course the amount of electricity that they would consume.  Not to mention that if you are knowledgeable about computers and other things attached to it, I think you'll have a hard time in this world.

116  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I'm gonna sell my house on: March 12, 2018, 10:07:13 AM
I want to know where you live with your family after you sold your house. Is your family aware of your decision and do they support you? The risk of doing so is great. Do you think that you really think it is worth it?

Actually, that's the biggest thing that the OP should think about when selling his house. Where will they stay, or what is his next plan. The impulse selling/buying would just lead him to unexpected negative result.

Probably OP is obsessed with BTC, and wants to give it "all in" while the price is low.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you still continue? on: March 12, 2018, 09:01:41 AM
NO, why would I gamble my last penny? If I have gas then I could go out and find more money outside. There is no point to gamble if it would go out of bounds and affecting other aspects of your life.

I would only do that if I am just outside the house and I could walk home or if I am at home and I have no business to do outside for a week.
118  Other / Politics & Society / Re: School Uniform on: March 12, 2018, 08:33:37 AM
I think it's necessary specially to those elementary pupils. It is easier to identify them when they are in the crowd outside the school. It is also a good way to discipline students so they know what is the proper dress in school and soon in the office.

However, in college, I don't think that it is necessary (besides, there are free days in school when you are not required to wear a uniform), as long as it's decent enough that they won't look like a bystander in the subways.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Men only. Are you daring enough to have a boob job to complete a bet? on: March 12, 2018, 08:05:13 AM
Oh well, I won't bet on that, this is my body and I have no plan to do harm on it. That gambler is still lucky, some of the breast operations are not successful, in short the patient have to go back and forth to their surgeon to fix some, some even develop an infection and their silicon padding would be filled with pus(pardon my word).

Isn't that gambler a gay?
120  Other / Politics & Society / Re: VIRGINITY before getting married on: March 12, 2018, 06:32:06 AM
Not an issue to me and would never be. I don't see any problem marrying a non virgin woman. What I would hate is when my partner would commit adultery while committed.

Ask yourself, didn't you think of having sex with someone else before? Then why think of virginity as an issue, most of the men are thinking the same when it comes to sex.
