Meanwhile 30 people where killed in a bombing in Afghanistan (during a wedding) today and 50+ people in deadly bombings in Iraq.  But who gives a fuck about them, when some shit goes down in MERIKA! Angry

I don't know what country you're in but if a bombing happens on our on soil it IS more important and more newsworthy, even if the death toll isn't as high. It would be the same as if the same type of bombing happend in England or Spain. Domestic attacks are always more important.

No wonder the middle east hates us, then, 'cos we've been doing that to them every other day for the past decade.

I don't know about you, but I don't even own a Predator drone, and if I did, I certainly wouldn't use it to blow up weddings. If you're doing so, I suggest you stop. It seems to be pissing them off.

I see your point Grin  Also, congrats on your 8000th post Tongue

It's not that surprising when you think about it.  The problem is that you have broken out of this way of thinking and most people haven't yet.

It's like being at a slumber party and waking up before everyone else.  It's like: what do I do now?  Guess I'll lay in bed and wait for everyone else to get up.

This topic is forgetting one famous quote by Rothschild, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes it's laws".

Therefore the party who would interfere with bitcoin's development is the existing financial order and not governments themselves.

This just in. U.S. government controlled by financial elites.

Damn, that hot chick in the motor tax office is an undercover bankster?

She probably has a monocle and mustache stored under that super-hot mask, too.  Huff huff, I say!

Interesting. I used to work for IBM and can see where their motivation is (hint: lucrative military contracts).

The Patriot Act and NDAA got rid of many of the barriers to collecting information on Americans.

I would expand on it but...non-disclosure and all that.

Let me guess; IBM's getting cash in exchange for their service.  Tongue

Breiwik's attack on multiculturalists also were initially reported as Al-Qaeda attack. The western propaganda runs ahead of both horse and carriage.

Even as a supporter of such bombing attacks in asymmetric warfare (and USA is at war with many) I don't see the marathon as a good target to bomb. There are many international participants from nations potentially friendly to bombers who might get killed or injured as a result. There are better and just as easy targets that could win both support of population and strategic military victory when bombed. Federal government buildings, military bases or companies supplying military, political organizations opposing the bombers, the list goes on and on. Bombing of sporting event makes no sense to me.

Good point.  Killing random people doesn't do much good (but it does work in America's favor so they can pull more terrorist bullshit out of their ass.)  Why is it that the military is never under fire over here?  You'd figure, if anything, you'd want to do some damage to this 500+ billion dollar military.  Naw, let's just target a parade instead, because that'll show those darn evil Americans!  Undecided  This had to have been staged.  You don't simply insert bombs in a random location, completely undetected, and then "get caught".

Millions slaughtered in the middle east?  Who gives a shit, Snooki had a fucking BABY!  Does that mean nothing to you people?!

+1 , only it's not the country I hate. It's our GOVERNMENT, or lack of government.

I'd love a lack of government Grin  Right now, we've got too too much government.  But you're right, I have nothing against this country, or its people.  I just don't like being the 99%.

It is unfortunate that so much anarcho-chatter fills the Bitcoin information feed.  Bitcoin is a protocol, and a very intriguing one at that.  We can do many interesting and potentially innovative things with it.

We're not going to crush the nation-state or even bring it to its knees with Bitcoin.  If anything, should we create commercially successful projects based on Bitcoin, we become a new source of tax revenues on our profits and capital gains.

If one wants to be a moneypunk revolutionary, one can share a jail cell with the founders of some of the moneypunk 1.0 systems from the 1990s.  Me?  I'm in this for the money, and if I'm making money, I don't mind paying some taxes on the capital gains and on the profits.

Not with that attitude, anyway Grin

If you ever get the chance, you may want to consider listening to this podcast.  Stefan goes into depth about what statism is and why it's no good.

Yeah, sorry it's not the proof you were looking for, but do consider that I spent very little time practicing drawing.  I spent most of my days playing counter strike source or learning about the world online, or weed.

CS:S on Steam, right?

under a law of a liberal society, which im opposed to, i would be allowed to put a bullet in your ass if you trespass. How else would i protect myself or my property, if i don't have a state to do it?

Remember, all I'm doing is passing by.  You're making it sound like driving on the road that happens to be there is an insult to one of your gods and I must be put to death unless I pay the kokjo's road tax.  Now that's not very nice, is it?  Tell you what; I let you drive on my road free of charge, if you'll let me drive on yours.
2659  Other / Politics & Society / Re: This is the thread where you discuss free market, americans and libertarianism on: April 15, 2013, 09:25:04 PM
on my little piece of land i will not make roads, and after that abuse others without contributing. i could also begin to take money for passing my 50 meters of road, or other complicated things.

And what will you do when I refuse to pay your toll?  Kick my ass?  Ha ha ha!
you would be trespassing on my private property. American laws(which we have not accepted, i know) says i could shoot you.

Grin  So you're okay with killing me for not paying you money?  Sounds like I need to avoid Denmark; you're more American than I am.

Quick; we need domestic drones to protect us from the terrorists!!

I hate this country.
