Surreal to think that in this day and age they'd so openly wipe out people's assets. On the bright side, at least this sort of thing forces people out of these self-cannibalizing systems.

If it doesn't pull that cord to the matrix, at least it's loosening up a bit Tongue

I suppose it makes sense, categorizing these two groups broadly.  As people, we have this weird thing where we just love duality--two of everything!  But it's easy to understand, and I lean way far onto the Brainist side of things Tongue

A big thing about Statists is that they love taxes, or at least believe taxation is absolutely vital for a society to survive--so at the same time, they both believe in government, and big government at that.  So on the Statist side would be "Tax" and following, "Government".  For the opposite effect, the Brainists will probably favor small government or Anarchism, and no-taxation (I can't think of a word for voluntary taxation--it's an oxymoron, anyway.)

Aside from that, I'll think up some more.  I'd like to say, WW3 can't happen if there are no soldiers to make it happen, but, mechanized warfare doesn't seem that far away.  Both Brainists and Statists contributed to that effort.

One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

Yeah it is beneficial to encourage argument and critical thinking (and most especially humor) about Bitcoin. Would you prefer a pumpers-only, fanboys-only-allowed forum?

What are you afraid of? (maybe you are afraid the truth might be discerned and your investment-scam will burst)

I didn't hear a no.  There is a lot of intelligent debate on this forum.  This is mostly you believing you've revealed something no other man on this planet has revealed, and then believing all other men have not realized this because they are either too stupid or are in on it (I've mostly just seen you belittling anything which speaks, however.)  Why do you troll this forum, if your findings are so revolutionary?  Isn't there someone else you can bother who will care?

Quote
I've discovered the wolf is in sheep's clothing; I'd better go alert the wolves.
-- AnonyMint logic.

Go talk to someone who will get your findings out there.  Write an essay about it.  I read your website; it was 95% anti-Bitcoin, and the rest was fluff for intention.  If you cared so much about a new form of currency, why are you spending all day attacking Bitcoin?  You're not going to get forward by obsessing over it.  Learn it, understand it, improve it.  If you have a better way, you'd be talking about it right now.  In fact, I'd love to hear about it.  Talk about it.  Stop talking about Bitcoin.  Give me your paper on this revolutionary, "non-Ponzi" form of currency that will revolutionize the world and make you famous.

Until this happens, we can assume you're here to either stir emotions, or, as I've said before, you have a serious mental disorder that has heightened your attention to detail and completely destroyed your ability to see the bigger picture (as I've pointed out, this is probably autism in some form.)  The problem is, you don't seem to realize your own mistakes; you don't understand how people function, you lack empathy, you're far too literal, and you're misinterpreting more than you realize.  Take it from me, you're nuts, and nobody here agrees with you.  This isn't going to change in the next five minutes.  It's not going to change tomorrow.  Even the most skeptical have trouble siding with you.  I highly recommend (and I know this is falling on deaf ears, since you're still here,) finding someone who will believe you, who will attempt to understand where you're coming from; siding with them will improve your chances of finding a crowd who will nod their head at you.  ZeroHedge is notoriously against Bitcoin, why not try there?  They'd love to hear about why Bitcoin is a con and why nobody should ever use it.  Touting your argument here is a lapse in tactical judgment, and I can only assume your intention is not to actually form a coherent argument, but to spread FUD--or trolling, whichever we'll go with.

On an unrelated note, you remind me of TruthNeverTold...

I think this is a great idea.  And really, everybody has their own favorite way to get bitcoin.  localbitcoin would've been my choice, since it works anywhere, no matter what, for any currency you might have, whether it be dollars, rubles, or chickens.

From the website and why I will make sure to remember their bitcoin address so I never send a S. by mistake:

"Todays topic is a simple, but elegant solution that would solve all your problems, without wide scale destruction, gendercide, or the necessary exctinction of the human species. Well, maybe the latter one, but that depends on how much people care about the continued existence of their cilivilisation, or at least to have offspring.

My suggestion would be, to drop the “plato bomb”, wich differs from the usual depopulation bombs that it doesn`t actually kills anyone. (Well, maybe people with extremely weak immune systems.)

I don`t want to go into the details to much. In short, i am talking about a biological weapon that would attack certain receptors and certain glands in male humans, while it would be realitevely easy to shrug off the infection, so the host will not die, it would destroy its capabaility to enjoy sex, as well as the urge to mate in the first place, and it would have to be very infectious, at minimum on the level of flu.

In short, Men would all become asexual, utterly uninterested in sex, but not actually impotent, so they could still sire offspring.

I am sure feminists would love it. Just think about, the porn and all sex industry would likely collapse overnight, freeing all those poor exploited women to pursue different careers. There would be no molestation, sexual harassment, or sexual harassment lawsuits. No rape, and by extense no false rape allegations either, because in a world full of asexuals, any accusation of rape would become laughable, so even MRA-s couldnt complain."

What the fiddley fuck did I just read? Don't tell me these people actually exist. This is Hitlerina reborn. How hard is it to simply fix one's own fears and anguish than to invent a weapon aimed to permanently stop male reproduction from being enjoyable (without any harmful side effects Roll Eyes we can't even make basic medicine without anal leakage) and then, after developing such a weapon on a shoe string budget, passing it along through a male-dominant government of any kind (all of them.) Because her feelings are more important than 50% of the population--such a woman!

You'll have to figure out what your old account was.  Steam doesn't issue keys, they only pass them on when you first purchase a game.

I mean, if all else fails (and for the sake of "Fuck DRM") you could just resort to TPB.

I was watching two birds forage for food. One was a sparrow and the other was a cardinal. They both worked the same batch of ground within about a five foot diameter. Then I saw something totally amazing. The sparrow found a worm, and while it was in its mouth, somehow it summoned the cardinal. The cardinal trotted to the sparrow whereupon the sparrow give the cardinal the worm. About two minutes later, the sparrow did it again. The cardinal was definitely male, but I'm not sure was sex the sparrow was, though it was dull in color, like most sparrows regardless of sex.

Has anybody witness anything similar before?

My dad seemed to do this a lot.

Your dad shared with Cardinals worms he dug up? Was he catholic, or a baseball fan? Ans why worms? Or is "worms" code for "coke and hookers"?

3476  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why resist the adoption of bitcoin for 'criminal' activities? on: March 28, 2013, 03:04:50 AM
An exchange of services between consenting adults...which one is the victim?
Prostitution is a symptom of a problem instead of being a problem itself. An overwhelming majority of prostitutes were sexually exploited as children so the victimization already took place long before they became adult sex workers.

Although that may be true (as it is in the case of my younger sister,) I believe the problem is more so people being disconnected by one another than women being molested as children.  Because a man is so out of touch with the world, instead of simply meeting a woman, he'd rather pay for one, as he feels he could not find a mate any other way.  Of course, vice versa for male prostitutes.  People are in their own little bubbles in societies like ours.  I'm not sure why it occurs, but, I must admit, I couldn't list any of my neighbors, except for this one asshole named Steve who lives on the other side of the road I'm on and invites Asian hookers over every weekend, and I only know him because he bitches me out about my dog.  Steve doesn't seem to have a wife, and hardly goes outside his home, except to work.

Either way we could look at it, tho, it's still not an issue with money.  If prostitution happens with the dollar, it may as well happen with Bitcoin.  I don't see any difference; the money isn't to blame.  Society can't pin its issues on who uses money for what.  In the end, law is just a bandage for an open wound.

So he's saying no governments, no markets. That would mean we would have this great new currency that would never fly because there would never form a market.

I'm fairly certain people don't lie down to die in the case of no-government Tongue

3479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Denominating Bitcoin amounts on: March 28, 2013, 02:28:36 AM
I'm sure people will figure out their own names for these denominations.  I'm in favor of calling mBTC millies, and I'm certain anyone who hears me say "I'll take this for a hundred millies" will probably get my message Tongue  That is, if they're familiar with Bitcoin.  Otherwise I'm going to get some funny stares no matter what I call it.
