If there is no exception to the rule, then death penalty is fine. Law makers are always making themselves safe first before they approve a bill.

We can't prevent crimes just because there is death penalty. There are instances where a man goes into trouble unexpectedly, so even if we are aware that there is this bill, if there is no way we can escape the "trouble", even if it is still a "self defense", law makers could always find loop holes, and if your lawyer is not good enough, then you will end up guilty.

What I am saying is, death penalty is good, not just as a deterrent for people to commit crime but it must also be a deterrent for corrupt politicians to prevail.

Illegal detention and money making machines, and sooner or later the next candidate to Mercy killing by the police. That is not a good way to clean the streets. It just makes things worst and probably would make his popularity rating fall more.

They can only do that on ordinary drug users and pushers. Until now they can't catch a big fish, its like curing a disease without finding the real cause of the problem.

It's a little exaggerated, The last earthquake doesn't make too much damage. But it should be an indication that there is a movement in the plates near those places, specially the fault line which everyone knows where the "big one" might happen.

IMO, Philippines is preparing to this kinds of disaster, we all know that it will happen in time, so probably if it happens, we don't know what will happen and how many will die, government should be preparing for the impact and not just the preparation.

That's true, you can really earn big when you are a developer, opportunities are always waiting. However, we can't deny the fact that you are not the only developer, there are plenty out there, they are competing with each other, and because of that competition, others are forced to just lower their rate so they could get the project.

On holidays, I am also celebrating whatever that holiday is, with that said, I am outside the house, or with the family and have no time to gamble for almost a day or longer. Though I usually check my email and reading some in the forum and in the internet, I don't focus too much when it is holiday, I wnat my vacations to be worth while.

If he can bring Philippines out of third world, then I would definitely believe him and salute his leadership. However, he only have 5 years left on his term to do it, and none of his goals are finished only lives lessen with his war on drugs and war on terrorism. His subordinates are also struggling to fulfill and finish his goals too. I would consider him as one of a kind, but I don't look at him as a genius nor wise.

He is brave, we know that, but it doesn't mean that all that cursing is ethical and I think it is not a good behavior. I just hope that he really can stand on his word. International community are a great help specially in the Philippines where not all are privileged to own a business or atleast have a job. Staying away from them is like refusing opportunities.

You got a point there. passive income should not be in just one investment. It should be in many, so when one is down, you still receive ROI in the others. That would make the cash flow continuously moving to you while you are still looking for others. Passive income will always be a savings in bank or investments, as long as there is ROI, it will be passive.

Get used to it. It is not just maute group that is in Metro Manila. There are other groups that are there. There are even MNLF now that are recruiting military reservists and ROTC graduates in the nearby provinces.

Probably they are just diverting the attention of the authorities that are pounding their camps in the south.

True. In gambling experience just makes us calm and always gives us space to think in between bets. the longer the experience of the gambler, the more they are relaxed in betting and in choosing. Newbies are impulsive, they are easily carried away by their emotions.

But all of us pass thru being a newbie in gambling, we know how it feels to panic and learn from it and we always carry that always. But when it comes to winning, I believe that it is not just experience that we need.

Your end statement still point out that you are winning, that means you are into it. That means that is what keeps you coming back and not the fun or whatever else. That is common to gamblers, and that is the only reason that I can see that keeps most of the gamblers coming back.

Not yet, but it is almost there. Lets just hope that it don'e end up there. All that are talking against his plans are now being suppressed.

Anyway, its hard to predict what will happen to us when a leader is a dictator. You have two choice, stay or leave the country. Stay and blindly follow the leader until a flock who are against the leader starts to talk, join them. Leave, forget about your country and return when there is already a new leader.

Kids of today are smarter, we all know that, but it doesn't mean that all that they know are good and they don't know that, that is why parents should be guiding their kids specially in using their gadgets and internet.

Personally, I won't teach a kid to earn bitcoin not even to use internet regularly in the future, I am sure that too much use of gadgets and internet would mean lesser physical activities to them.

People who rely their future on gambling are delusional. They don't know how to succeed using their strength, they just want to dream about the future and not doing anything to be there.

Anyway, back to the topic, I consider gambling as a form of investment and not a game, we invest time, effort and money on it so we could achieve our goal, while in a game, the result/goal is already given.

You can only do that when you have plenty of money to invest. But as ordinary people, it is hard to divide the money into smaller portions as it will also give us smaller ROI and in different times. With that said, if the capital is small, put it in one investment only or in savings only, if it is big, then that's the time to choose which one would make us feel better and satisfied with our decision.

Well, we will need those two not just one of it to earn better.


With OPs plan to just dedicate two hours a day, it is highly unlikely that he will achieve his goal to earn even one bitcoin in one month. That is laziness IMO, or if not, he has no time to work on it and his goal is not achievable because of that.

IMO, gambling is riskier compared to investment. Though both is unpredictable, it is better to just invest, atleast with it, you'll know the danger you are facing and you can do a research first before investing. While in gambling, you can't do that, you may have a research, becoming an expert, but all of it is nothing in gambling. You'll still end up losing.

When I gamble, that's what I do mostly with what I win. I keep it and wait til I have a plan on what to do with it. Bitcoin is not my main income and most of my earning here, whether it is from gambling and others always go to my wallet.

It is common thing to do, but it is different to those people who makes bitcoin and gambling their bread and butter source.

That's true, you may say that you didn't lose because of that, but, we can't deny the fact that we lose time. If it is for entertainment, and want that kind of perk, we could go to food parks with eat all you can, or those events that offers  unlimited beer, concerts with free, with that, we got a lot of entertainment and we meet new people. Not to mention that we got something free out of it.

I go for profit when I gamble, I am not aiming to lose, but to win.

Well, in any way you look at it, the result is what matters most. If you lose, then it's wrong, if you win, then that's better. Unfortunately, winning in gambling is not that easy and things go wrong along the way, with that said, the best thing to do is to just gamble few times and when you win, stop.

With regards to OP's question,in gambling, its more losses than being beneficial.
