I am ignorant, sure. However, I don't see any evident impatience.

JoelKatz, Evorhees, and Gavin,

You got mad Bitcoin smarts. There are a bunch of rtards on this forum (anyone reading this is of course wicked brilliant, and beautiful if you are a lady, which you aren't...) so I'm glad to hear your well thought out and level-headed responses.

Aren't "THE SKY IS FALLING!" people annoying the crap out of you?
Have some sympathy for people who lost ALOT of their hard earned money.
We don't need any sympathy. We'll make it back.

Self-entitled Bitcoin User: We won't stand for you having all those Bitcoins. Redistribute your wealth or we'll...

Hoarder: ...do what?

Self-entitled Bitcoin User: We won't use Bitcoins!

Hoarder: What about your weed, Jimmy? Aren't you on house probation?

Self-entitled Bitcoin User: ...

Hoarder: That's what I thought.

Hiding murder of civilians, eh?  You seem very eager to forget Bush only acted because of the murder of thousands of American civilians in New York.
LOL!!
Yeah, by sending more americans to their death then the 911 attacks.
Go figure.


By freeing millions of people from tyranny and beginning the dismantling of Al Qaeda that Obama is finishing.  America's soldiers and allies knew exactly what they were getting in to, and don't need you to spit on their accomplishments.

You mean the Al Qaeda that was trained and weaponized by the US to fight for them against the russians?
That Al Qaeda?

That has been slightly overstated.  Osama himself never directly received any funds from Americans.  Most of the funding for the fighters came through middlemen in Pakistan, and that is the country to look towards for training and weaponizing Al Qaeda, as if the fact that they sheltered  Osama for ten years after the attack was not evidence enough for that.  Again, the world is complex, sometimes reality just doesn't fall into the neat little anti-American storyline you wish it did.  It may be satisfying to hate on America, but when you ignore Pakistan you are again giving the true criminals a free pass.

It's like I am actually experiencing a news announcement from a telescreen after Two Minutes Hate.

Are you saying Al Qaeda was an imaginary threat?  Again, the thousands of people they murdered around the world might take issue with that.  In Atlas world I guess they just stop murdering on their own without need for military action because he was going to give them a flower or something.

Whether they are imaginary or not, I don't know. However, they were a good excuse to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the name of corporate and banking interests.

Anyways, the losses of 9/11 could of been prevented if the government acted on previous information. The government knew about the attacks before they happened! This could of all been avoided.

And now you sweep away the guilt of the terrorists who murdered thousands and put the blame on Americans, the victims of the attack.  

Damn right, I am blaming the US government. The facts is they didn't do their job. They didn't do what we pay them to do and that is to defend our sovereignty in face of potential threats.

The terrorists were wrong but so was the government. They acted practically acted together,

Look, I know it must have been a very scary day for little seven year old Atlas, but some of us were actually adults at the time and have looked in detail at the attacks.  You are espousing a fringe conspiracy theory without any actual basis in fact. One day I hope you can grow up, find The Bridge to Total Freedom like I did, and find some spiritual peace with yourself and the world.

When you falsely tell the murderer the government was his accomplice, you are defending him.  Stop it, it's offensive to the survivors.  They may have not seemed real to you, as a little kid watching this unfold, but they were.
You want facts; I'll give you facts. See you this evening at the P&S parking lot.

Oh, your people are Republicans?  Oh, well I'm sure this time they will get it right and the tax cuts will fix the economy and we will be back to the paradise Republican rule left to Obama in 2008!

Surely John McCain couldn't have done worse handling the responsibility. But yes, I'm looking forward to a return to paradise!
There was never a paradise to begin with. The American government has been declining since 1913. The Clinton surplus was just shifting funds from social security to priorities.

Wake up people!

I guess hippie Atlas doesn't care about the millions of children who starved under the UN sanctions regime in Iraq.

Blind violence isn't an effective solution.

If being a hippy means not compromising when it comes to individual human lives, I'm a hippy.

Defense of the nation is a duty a Democratic government cannot ignore.  I am also a fan of our efforts in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya to overthrow authoritarian governments and replace them with the power of the people.

The murderers are the people like Saddam and Gaddafi and bin Laden, not the men and women who sign up to fight for justice and freedom in the armies of America and places like England and Germany and France.

I can tolerate everything else you say. However, when you hide and/or defend murder of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, that's when I draw the line. I am extremely disturbed by your undeterred patriotism and reverence of the state, Rarity.

If you find yourself in a position of power one day, may god (if he exists) help your subordinate's souls.

Hiding murder of civilians, eh?  You seem very eager to forget Bush only acted because of the murder of thousands of American civilians in New York.  I guess a peacenik hippie like you would let that slide, but some of us have friends and family who live in New York and worked in or around those buildings.  

Destruction and vengeance builds nothing. It only destroys. We aren't even defending our interests anymore. We are only giving them more incentive to hurt us. We're the enemy now.

You're defending the murders of over 100,000 people caused by the US's invasion. I can't even support that as an equitable opinion. It's disgusting.

When farmers want cattle to produce the best milk they don't confine them to the same utilitarian and crowded feedhouses we see with typical livestock.

Originally farmers would make sure they had sufficient shade, plenty of water and pasture to graze in. However, as the demand for efficiency came, more dairy cows had to be raised. Acres upon acres of shaded pasture no longer sufficed. Today you will see giant diary cows entranced in a giant moving carousel by which they feed, soothing them and relaxing them as they are voluntarily milked. Yes, I said voluntarily. Instead of the farmer routinely milking the cows, they now milk themselves as they please using automated machinery with act rewarded with food. This relaxes them and gives them the illusion of freedom and thus they produce more and better milk.

This analogy almost perfectly applies to people. As chattel slaves we are unskilled and produce very little value. As purportedly free and taxed citizens, we can learn various skills and produce valuable labor and goods.

Thus unfortunately, if there will ever be comprehensive, omnipotent tyranny, it will be one of bliss and ecstasy. Very few will resist. Power is only as good as its output and happy citizens are the most effective citizens.

I grew up in the midwest, surrounded by cattle farms and working on my cousins dairy farm every summer. I have never seen such a carousel, and I have sure as hell not seen a cow 'voluntarily' milk itself.

Maybe it exists, but it's probably in the UAEE or something.
It's a recent innovation. It's only a profitable investment for massive dairy farms at the moment, if I recall correctly.

All the people who have no genuine confidence in the Bitcoin concept and what we are doing are now leaving the office. We can even see them turning in their Bitcoins at the front desk. I will certainly be picking up a few on my way out today.

I want to propose a toast to a more determined, productive and confident tomorrow! To Bitcoin!
