It is likely that the US and Russia will work together. For a start, they can make disagreements for the species, but then unite. Both countries have good resources for mutually beneficial cooperation.
This will never happen. Too many contradictions between Russians and Americans. Even the mentality of these peoples are different. Yesterday, Putin hinted that if between America and Russia there is a war that no one wins. The allies do not speak.
902  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bible describes Americans by the term 'Serpent' on: June 07, 2017, 05:40:17 PM
In the book of genesis their is described a serpent that is able to speak.  This is an accurate depiction of Americans,especially concerning the government.  Note that the term 'Serpent' is used, not serpent-brained human or evil human.  I believe this is done specifically to highlight that these serpent or reptile brained creatures that walk among us have very little humanity in them, if any.  They can mimic our behavior, they look like us, but they are not the same.  They feed off of human suffering, they enjoy the pain and torment of others, they seem to get an effective 'high' off of it.   These Serpents seem to make up the majority of the populance at this time, and certainly the government. Can be seen as something similar to what appears in psychology manuscript as the psychopath or sociopath.
If I believed in God I'd think that the Bible describes the coming of Trump and his supporters. Trump is the curse of America. I don't believe in predictions. Anyone can write about how he sees the future and maybe someday it will happen and it will be considered as a predictor.

Why is Hillary Clinton still relevant? She lost by an electoral landslide a year ago. Get over it!

The Clinton crime family has been the backbone of the Democrat Party for the past 3-4 decades. Both Hillary and Bill have participated in presidential elections. Sometimes they won, sometimes they lost. Now perhaps it is the turn of Chelsea to continue the criminal activities.
Behavior Trump takes away votes from the Republicans and I am sure that in the upcoming elections in the U.S. Congress the Democrats will get a majority. Then Trump will surely be destroyed. If it turns out that the Russian had given guarantees for loans Trump Deutsche Bank, it will be serious grounds for impeachment. To require a court to provide such information have the majority in Congress and once the Republicans lose the election days Trump as President will be numbered.
904  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Putin Best Friends - Donald Trump And His Old Guys Team, China And North Korea on: June 06, 2017, 10:08:11 PM
Putin do not have many friends in the world - China, North Korea and may be some more countries. But now Putin can be happy - Donald Trump will be his friend too, see http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/06/06/tillerson-trump-wants-me-to-fix-us-relationship-with-russia-amid-turmoil.html for details.

As Trump said many times:''These are false news'' Smiley
Don't underestimate Putin.
He is very influential in Balkan region (Serbia, Macedonia, Hungary), also former USSR republics in Asia, Syria, Latin America etc.
It's obvious that Trump likes Putin, his dictatorship style and authoritarianism.
He probably wants to be like him but can't Smiley

Trump really wants to be like Putin, but he was not smart enough. Putin is smarter. But what worries me is not what Trump wants to be a dictator, and the fact that it is very likely that Putin firmly holding his balls. To Trump to avoid impeachment he should avoid contact with the Russians, and he is doing the opposite. This is not a demonstration of power as someone thinks it's Putin his hurry to get dividends from his election.
905  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Evolution is a hoax on: June 06, 2017, 09:57:03 PM
The theory of evolution is very controversial, but we can't deny obvious things. I do not believe that man evolved from apes, but there are other aspects. More close to our reality. Look for example at women. The bulk of them takes the forms of which are fashionable at this time. Isn't this evolution? Viruses adapting to antibiotics. I believe in evolution, but I don't believe in Darwin's theory.
906  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Proof that the USA sytem of consumption is dumb on: June 06, 2017, 09:43:32 PM
Strong figures:
http://time.com/8740/federal-reserve-debt-bankrate-consumers-credit-card/

The economic model of USA is: buy buy buy buy buy buy buy and maybe think a bit after
That's the reason of the 2008 crisis, Americans were pushed by banks and real estate agents to take 3 times the debt they could afford.

Well people are continuing to do it.
I don't know when it's going to hit, but it'll hit reaaaaaally hard.

Stop with this stupid overconsumption. Just stop. Capitalism isn't working, stop it before it's too late.

Even if the bank is encouraging people to get more loans I believe you are not under compulsion to go beyond your means as this boils down to the issue of self control in terms of finances which is obvious what Americans are lacking. But capitalism does not mean over consumption as they are completely opposite from my point of view while one seeks to ensure individuals reach their maximum capacity, the other is borne out of quest for what is beyond your reach.
When you take in banks, consumer or mortgage loans this means that you spend money not yet earned. This in a sense supports the economy because it stimulates demand, but you are in the area of risk and can be bankrupt. So my opinion is that credit is evil. I never take money.
907  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Communism: Pro and Cons on: June 06, 2017, 05:57:51 PM
Well so far I don't know and haven't found any legit pros of communism but I guess the "real communism hasn't been tried yet", right?
and I think we've all made sure that communism doesn't work.
The theory of communism is a utopian theory which is based on dreams and does not include an economic component. When there is no properly structured economy always appear dissatisfied and that leads to dictatorship. It is better not to build communism, because the result is obvious and it is confirmed by life.
908  Other / Off-topic / Re: Young people should go all in on bitcoin on: June 05, 2017, 10:07:02 PM
In addition, they are young and they will accept risks if they have a chance to get rich, that also means they will invest all the money in bitcoin, they will help the price of bitcoin rise higher and more popular than ever. Bitcoin is the world of young people

You somehow managed to picture the young generation as a flock of sheep risking everything into a ponzi scheme.
Also sorry to burst you bubble but most of the early adopters here already have kids of their own.

How about we stick to the essential and let the new generation learn first what bitcoin is and then start using it as they see fit.I for once would be more than happy if 99% would use bitcoin as a currency rather than an investment.
In order to use bitcoin as a currency rather than investment needs to be built the economy of bitcoin. How are you going to earn bitcoins? Several years to sit on the taps to buy for bitcoins earned a t-shirt. Need a labour market online payment in bitcoins for people with qualifications and without. Appears work will offer to spend bitcoins.
909  Economy / Economics / Re: Looking for ideas to invest on: June 05, 2017, 09:59:31 PM
I don't see any prospects for growth of such giants as Facebook or Apple. It seems to me that such investment will not bring you much income. Maybe you'd better pay attention to some promising young companies, or bitcoin. It is very profitable to invest in bitcoins.
910  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin vs. World Money Supply: What happens when max. cap at max. supply? on: June 05, 2017, 09:51:49 PM
If it should reach that point that you have stated which is likely possible although not in the short term looking at beyond 10 years, then what will happen is the price of bitcoin would have increased as much as 100folds to what we have now  and that alone does not mean countries will accept bitcoin as a form of currency as those who won't adopt won't still adopt and at the same time, it will not replace fiat.

Ok. I like your response. I'm not sure it would take 10 years to get to $80.9 trillion USD. I think it will take less. I find it interesting that you say that "...does not mean countries will accept bitcoin as a form of currency as those who won't adopt won't still adopt..."

Hmm doesn't some country already accepting bitcoin as currency/money?  Well  I agree those who wont adopt, wont adopt.  It is inculcated on their brain and ego.

Part of me thinks that what will happen is that the general public will use Bitcoin for everyday transactions when the Bitcoin market cap. reaches $80.9 trillion United States Dollars. Large government institutions will still, however, refer to various values (such as national debt) in their original form of currency. For instance, that is like saying that the typical U.S.  (8 years from now) would be using Bitcoin to pay for groceries. However, when it comes to the issue of the United States national debt, the national debt would be listed in United States dollars rather than Bitcoin.

With a huge transaction fee?  I doubt general public will use bitcoin in everyday transaction, probably as store of value but transaction where you will pay $30k each time you move your bitcoin? I won't do that.  I would rather convert my BTC in one transaction and use fiat currency to do a transaction.  It is way cheaper.  Made me imagine, I buy a $100 coffe with Bitcoins and I paid $30k dollar for transaction fee.  Doesn't this look too generous of me?

I think people will start to use Bitcoin as soon as possible, because it's an extremely efficient way to reduce national and world debt due to how the money is tracked. There may be social complications (such as only shopping for groceries once every three weeks rather than each week), but I think people would be willing to deal with those social complications in order to decrease the larger financial complications (such as national debt and world debt).

I wonder how can Bitcoin reduce national debt? If a government does not adopt it or take advantage of the opportunities it brings?
So bitcoin has helped to reduce the national debt Trump will make all public servants of America to write posts on bitcointalk and earn bitcoins for signatures and earnings to transfer to the budget of the United States. Then maybe the debt will begin to decline. It's a joke of course. Bitcoin does not help the state because it is the parallel economy which does not intersect with the state.
911  Other / Politics & Society / Re: VOTE Should the U.S. Legalize Opium to Smoke? on: June 05, 2017, 09:40:04 PM
I don't support the legalization of all drugs. Even if the Smoking of opium does not die from an overdose of it will still lead to addiction and the addict will be looking for harder drugs. I am against Smoking of tobacco and alcohol, and you propose to legalize drugs. My opinion definitely not.
912  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you believe in god? on: June 05, 2017, 09:22:03 PM

Someone here that would like to write an article or maybe a book about the subject? I have a nice title for you: The God that never was

Yes, men created "God" out of lust for absolute power over their fellow men. Now, finally, they are being stripped of their power to use "God" to rule us all.

The day of true emancipation has arrived dear friends. Don't keep the faith, but do spread the knowledge.
I also don't believe in God, but I do not share your optimism in this thread. Religion will long to control people. The worst thing is that in Western society is increasing the level of education and every year will decrease the number of believers, and the Muslims continue to remain uneducated. This vacuum fills the Islam and therefore, the number of Muslims will more than Christians.
913  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Men and their weapons on: June 05, 2017, 09:10:13 PM
It's not surprising at all everything we do we must have a way to make it deadly,  we always looking for new ways to kill our fellow men all because we want to be feared.

I can't agree with your post. We mostly use weapons for self-defense. Weapons give us more confidence and a feeling of safety. 99% of us don't want to kill our fellow human beings. And we also don't want anyone to fear us.
And I want to be feared. But have to fear criminals. They should always know that at any moment a victim can become a hunter or some of the bystanders may help to resist. Then crime will be less. All comes from the impunity, while on every corner the police will not put.
914  Other / Politics & Society / Re: When will Religions die? on: June 04, 2017, 03:55:41 PM
If people will stop to visit temples then lost interest in the Church. What money then they will live the Ministers of religion? They have long been accustomed to live on donations deceived by the religion of the people. All this will end only when the world does not remain uneducated people can believe in what is not.
915  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Why are rich countries rich and poor countries poor? on: June 04, 2017, 03:48:04 PM
This a complicated issue. many of the poor countries will remain poor because they have no money to invest into technology or development of the same and that can be due to war, previous corrupt governments, lack of educated people,etc... that question cannot ne answered that easy and it's not the same problem and it's solution for every country.
The poorer the country the richer live in it officials. For me this is a sure indicator. It seems to me that the cause of the ills of Africans are not officials, and the people who vote for them. Dictatorship is not born in a vacuum. Her arrival help the people themselves which bring the dictators to power. So I am sure that you need to start not with the regime change, and with ourselves.
916  Other / Politics & Society / Re: LIVE from London Bridge on: June 04, 2017, 03:41:10 PM


They think that people in the West are stupid.


What is the reason of muslims to fight against salafi sect ISIS?



Once we start deporting whole families that have any member linked to terrorists, they will have a reason.

Once you strip them of residency, citizenship, confiscate all their property and seize all banks accounts, they will have a reason to report any ISIS activity or sympathizers.

Right now they do not have any reason.  The opposite is true, the Islamists are not afraid to speak their mind in public.  You need to criminalize Islamism and Jihadism.
The entire Western world used to live in prosperity. People used that war is somewhere far away and therefore not adequately prepared to respond to threats to the modern world. Perhaps it is time to restore selected the British right to self-defence and be allowed to carry weapons for self-defense. Maybe then the killer will not feel so free.
917  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Will AI make humans extinct? on: June 03, 2017, 06:21:39 PM
Artificial Intelligence is just a creation of man. And he will always be under the control of mankind. No need to exaggerate its capabilities
People always think so. It is impossible to predict everything that can happen. Intelligence even if it is still artificial intelligence. Already tested the cars without drivers. It's good, but what will the dismissed drivers. Now a more developed person displaces animals. Maybe someday a more advanced intelligence will displace people.

Once you have selected Duterte in the Philippines will be a long time is not a stable situation. Muslim terrorists around the world arrange a bloody terrorist attacks. From this it is impossible to defend, but now you will have even tension. I'm really sorry. Philippines was a Paradise for tourists.
919  Economy / Economics / Re: Future of the BTC on: June 03, 2017, 05:51:10 PM
Bitcoin has first mover advantage. It has reached a market cap of $41 billion. No other cryptocurrency is anywhere near the half of that. Bitcoin is here to stay. It is the first choice for everyone who starts with virtual currencies. Bitcoin introduce people with other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is not going anywhere.
While I do not see any prospects for bitcoin. Let's be honest, what is needed now bitcoin. People buy it for investment and all. All this resembles a pyramid, which is sure to burst. As soon as the market will become saturated and growth of bitcoin prices will stop, the pyramid will collapse.
920  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin reduces unemployment on: June 03, 2017, 05:39:01 PM
Yes Because bitcoin gives as jobs like trading altcoin,  investing coins and gambling.  Bitcoin taught us eventhough you dont have degree you can be successful in the future if you earn bitcoin or if you live in cyberworld and the digital currency. It is never too late to explore bitcoin hurry and explore it.
What will be different from what you will learn bitcoin. You are able to earn enough bitcoin to consider it a work space. Probably still be a long time before it built the Internet economy and people will be able to earn money online. Then we can talk about jobs.
