Bruce Wagner and the surrounding drama.

[Rassah]

Two questions:

- If he is or not pedophile, what does that add (or subtract) for the bitcoin world?!
- Since when one totally unrelated thing in the past makes anybody a pedophile nowadays?! «Hey! My mortgage scheme went down so I'm going to vent my disgrace over young boys'» Is this supposed to be the "logic"?!

Not a pedophile. I just reached my 30's, and I still refer to other guys as boys sometimes, and hate it when people refer to me as "man." Makes me feel old, and i definitely don't look it. Likewise, Bruce explained he just reffers to cute guys as boys, too, even if they're way above legal age. I think it's just a gay thing.

Well, my grandma also says something like "that girl" where "girl" means an old woman about 70 or 80 years old.
I also call all "about my age friends" as "boy", I'm 33 so that "boy" may mean anyone from +/- 25 to 40. And I'm straight, so it's not a gay thing, it's just a matter of socialization.
Actually the last one I met which did not want to be called "girl" but "woman" was an 18 year old girl...

Oh cool, I didn't know Bruce was 80 years old.

He's aged well

He's also posted advice on picking up virgins - he used that specific word - at Thai brothels. How many 20yo virgin prostitutes can there be?

[repentance]

OMFG! Now this evolved to "How religious I'm"?

I was overbrowsing this topic, and came across a curious line. Sort of "You see, this guy scammed in the past therefore he's a pedophile".

You're definitely over-browsing.  Bruce's involvement in the Bold Funding scam was discovered way after the Pattaya shitstorm which led to people digging up past posts of his which showed that he was well aware of Pattaya's thriving under-age prostitution industry and had paid for sex in that region.  

While some posters now link the two together when arguing that Bruce is not an appropriate spokesman for Bitcoin, the controversy about his reasons for so stubbornly insisting on Pattaya as a conference venue definitely preceded the discovery of any legal proceedings against him for fraud.

The song "My Girl" was originally written as an anthem for pedophiles.  This sort of thing would not be tolerated today, the troll police would make sure anyone who sang it was called out as the pedophiles they are.

[DiaperedDynamo]

Man, religion ruins libertarianism so badly   How can you be both for liberty, and for subjugating yourself to a monarch/dictator at the same time? Also, sincerely hope the camp you were sent to wasn't a "pray the gay away" therapy. Not sure what other re-education camps churches have.

As for abortion, the fetus never signed a contract on that lease, does not even have the intellectual capacity to sign a contract, and is thus tresspassing. Worse, it is stealing resources from the mother without giving anything in return, like a socialist welfare queen. If not aborted, at the very least it should be extracted, frozen/preserved, and wait until it can be tried in juvenile could for its crime.

If it weren't for child labor laws, you could put that fetus to work on your farm (which everyone should own in an ideal setting) and make it pay for itself.

OMFG go take your meds. How do you get pedophilia out of this?

I've got sunshine
On a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside,
I've got the month of May.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)

I've got so much honey
The bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter songThan the birds in the trees.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)

Ooooh, Hoooo.

Hey, hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

I don't need no money,
Fortune or fame.
I've got all the riches, baby,
One man can claim.

Well, I guess you'll say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl. (My girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl. (My girl)

Talkin' bout my girl.
I've got sushine on cloudy day
With my girl.
I've even got the month of MayWith my girl.

Who the fuck let out the insane asylum?

Just because they say they're virgins...

a non-work safe warning would be good... I almost got fired when my boss read that!

If/when Virginia passes their "fetus is a full legal person" law, I am totally getting myself a frozen one in a test tube, and taking it with me when i go driving, just so I can legally use the HOV (>1 in car required) lanes.

Huh, I guess you're right, referring to someone as a boy or girl in a romantic or sexual context doesn't make someone a pedophile.  I stand corrected.

Especially since that song has no mention of cakes, or them being delicious. Just some mention of honey...

The R. Kelly remix was very different. I'm leery of even linking to it here.

While some posters now link the two together when arguing that Bruce is not an appropriate spokesman for Bitcoin(...)

WTF! Since when Bitcoin does have or need a "spokesman"?!
Jizz! This lately is getting filled up with self-nominations crap; like "spokesman", "bitcoin police", the others that I don't recall the name but also pretend to be some sort of "Bitcoin police"...

Are you done splitting hairs? I refer to my 38 yr old wife as my girl. Using "Old lady" will get me a smack.

You're right, of course. Bitcoin doesn't need a spokesman. It simply is and its need and utility are both self-evident to the educated individual. It's unfortunate that there are so few educated among the population and that those of us who can grasp such obvious facts are decried and vilified.

Incidentally, given your mention of jizz, I was wondering if you'd be interested in a proposition: I'm starting a BTC-based sperm bank for wealthy single women. The Sex and the City crowd, if you will. There's an untapped market for high-grade semen for spinster breeding purposes and I'd like to milk the resources of the bitcointalk forums to A) spread strong, intelligent, libertarian genes among the population at large, and B) make a small but justifiable profit. Interested?

I hope you don't also refer to her as a fifteen-dollar virgin that has no choice but to take abuse at a discount price.

Or you guys can just keep ignoring that part, whatever.

e: oh you're talking about that song. Pretend this indignant comment was in response to a similar post about Bruce

Why does the Bruce Wagner story remind me of the movie "I Love You Phillip Morris" with Jim Carrey?

Lol yeah except in this case it should be called "I Hate You Bruce Wagner" and Chris Kattan would play Bruce.
