I reckon it would be extremely appealing though so government could speed it up, new currency could utilise the blockchain but make it not anonymous for the government, rip tax avoidance and illegal shit Literally crypto will lead to the exact opposite of it's goals lol.

Its like "Alternative Medicine"... if it serves a purpose and actually any good then the Huge Pharmaceutical Companies obv will just take it over and turn into Normal Mainstream Medicine. Which for me is why I dont take much notice of "Alternative Medicine". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wonder what the purpose of such a question is most the time TBH, I feel like its a pretty irrelevant question nowadays. I wonder why I'm asked a raft of questions in many cases when the questioner doesn't appear to have any valid reason for asking them. Particularly when I have already answered the questions at least once before - for example on a second admission to the same hospital. Of course, all that would be solved if we had a national ID number. On the matter of gender - gender is not the correct word if you being asked a question about your sex. I don't care what anyone says, the two words do not mean the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what anyone says, the two words do not mean the same thing. Well for example, why does a job application need to ask your gender when they can't discriminate anyway, in fact any smart, large organisation would not ask it just to make it impossible for anyone to claim discrimination was involved in the decision (especially when you could argue that you can't infer someone's gender these days when interviewing them for example). It doesn't really make a difference to me, I just think it's stupid tbh, and basically goes back to what you're saying, why do forms often have pointless questions especially when the goal should be simplicity if they want the form filled in.

NewConvert Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 10 hours ago, strider said: I wonder why I always think about suicide Bizarrely enough I remember being in primary school and throughout my life thinking about it but I have just a strong a survival instinct as anyone else and never have come within cooee of acting on those thoughts. I am also incredibly calm throughout really serious shit. And then when I did talk about it to someone I was told to stop talking shit. Times have changed and do talk to someone about it. But if you have found yourself in situations that can really take your life such as drowning and you fight like shit to get out of it, then in the long run you will be here to spew shit like you normally do. Other than that I can't help but whatever you do, don't take anyone else with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n i k o Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I've been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks and unfortunately my mind keeps coming back to tinfoil ideas as to the occurrences... ...I wonder why these Americans shooting happen with such regularity at schools and why there's so much focus on only these shootings in the media. Firstly mass shootings occur elsewhere in America too, not just at schools. Secondly there's no way that only crazy psychos capable of mass murders only exist within the school system. There just seems to be something not quite right with this whole tragic scenario within America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There just seems to be something not quite right with this whole tragic scenario within America. Im no expert but - News on kids = more clicks - "Mental illnes" / extreme thoughts tend to occur more in teenagers going through puberty - Crazy psychos occur outside of schools too, but are not always in high density locations. But when they do, the results are much worse, ie the batman cinema, gay night club, and country music concert were all worse then most school shootings Edited March 15, 2018 by haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
