It's not obvious to me that you would go on to ask that question. There's a lot wrapped up in the statement "states can borrow money as much as they want", the key ingredient being "the initiation of the use of force by the state is moral". In other words, "I'm okay with you being shot for disagreeing with me". Why did you ignore that and instead choose to move the discussion towards how the state behaves with stolen money? If discussion with this fellow makes you unhappy, why do you continue?

Stef's Speech at the Texas Bitcoin Conference
Magenta replied to Magenta's topic in General Messages
Whoops, I had a brain fart. I knew Stef gave a speech at a recent Bitcoin conference, but I forgot that Texas was the one that was over a month ago. Since the speech is not yet on his channel, I thought I was getting an early release, but I was wrong. I hope to soon see and share his most recent speech at the Toronto Bitcoin Expo. In the mean time, I have edited the OP to at least have the video from Stef's channel, rather than a third party upload. -

Chamillionaire - Ridin' ft. Krayzie Bone Lyrics: [Chorus] They see me rollin They hatin Patrolling they tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty My music so loud I'm swangin They hopin that they gon catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty Tryin to catch me ridin dirty [Verse 1 - Chamillionaire] Police think they can see me lean I'm tint so it ain't easy to be seen When you see me ride by they can see the glean And my shine on the deck and the TV screen Ride with a new chick, she like hold up Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola Turn a jacker into a coma Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies Laws of patrolling you know they hate me Music turned all the way up until the maximum I can speak for some niggas tryin to jack for some But we packin somethin that we have and um will have a nigga locked up in the maximum Security cell, I'm grippin oak Music loud and tippin slow Twist and twistin like hit this dough Police pull up from behind and is in his throat Windows down gotta stop pollution CDs change niggas like who is that producing? This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin Got warrants in every city except Houston but I'm still ain't losin [Chorus] [Verse 2 - Krayzie Bone] I been drinkin and smokin holdin shit cause a brother can't focus I gotta get to home 'fore the po po's scope this big ol Excursion swerving all up in the curve man Nigga been sippin on that Hennessey and the gin again is in again we in the wind Doin a hundred while I puff on the blunt And rollin another one up, we livin like we ain't givin a fuck I got a revolver in my right hand, 40 oz on my lap freezing my balls Roll a nigga tree, green leaves and all Comin pretty deep, me and my do-jo I gotta get back to backstreets Wanted by the six pound and I got heat glock glock shots to the block we creep creep Pop Pop hope cops don't see me, on a low key With no regards for the law we dodge em like fuck em all But I won't get caught up and brought up on charges for none of y'all Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark, but well if you want, nigga you poppin dark Ready or not we bust shots off in the air Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire [Chorus] [Verse 3 - Chamillionaire] Do what you thinkin so, I tried to let you go Turn up a blink of light and I swang it slower A nigga upset for sure cause they think they know that they catchin me with plenty of the drink and dro So they get behind me tryin to check my tags, look at my rearview and they smilin Thinkin they'll catch me on the wrong well keep tryin Cause they denyin is racial profiling Houston, TX you can check my tags Pull me over try to check my slab Glove compartment gotta get my cash Cause the crooked cops try to come up fast And been a baller that I am I talk to them, giving a damn bout not feeling my attitude When they realize I ain't even ridin dirty bet you'll be leavin with an even madder mood I'mma laugh at you then I'mma have to cruise I'm in number two on some more DJ Screw You can't arrest me plus you can't sue This a message to the laws tellin them WE HATE YOU I can't be touched or tell 'em that they shoulda known Tippin' down, sittin' crooked on my chrome Bookin' my phone, tryin' to find a chick I wanna bone Like they couldn't stop me I'mma 'bout to pull up at your home and it's on [Chorus 2x] Meaning: This is about modern-day police treatment of African Americans. "Riding dirty" refers to violating any given law while driving, most commonly for having something illegal in the car like drugs or weapons. The song talks about how police target the black community, pull them over with no reasonable suspicion other than being black, try to find a law that they have broken so that the cops have an excuse to rough them up and assert their dominance. If they cops don't find any excuse, they get mad. There are scenes in the music video where a hulking man (obviously spends lots of time in the gym preparing for this) is in a wrestling ring, putting the hurt on his opponent and pinning them to the mat. The scene then morphs to the hulking man being the cop and the pinned person being a black man, likely with some marijuana in his pocket. It shows that cops see it as a game of fighting and physical dominance - nothing to do with "protect and serve" - while the blacks just want to be left alone.

"Allowed"? Should X be "allowed"? What kind of perspective begins with the assumption that all is unallowed unless granted permission? Who is granting permission? What is their authority?- 6 replies

Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin, has a community that just raised 55,000 USD worth of Dogecoin to fund Josh Wise (#98) to race in the NASCAR Aaron's 499 at Talladega on May 4, 2014. The sponsorship paint scheme is currently being decided, but one popular option is this: For more details, see the Dogecoin subreddit at http://www.reddit.com/r/dogecoin/comments/21c5xq/doge4nascar_is_funded/

I'm a driving nut, but I've found that even people who aren't driving nuts enjoy the game 1nsane. It is between $10 and free, depending on where you look. It is great for LAN with 2 PCs and needs only keyboards. It has capture the flag, king of the hill, and other non-race game types.

I was summoned to jury duty and in the paperwork, there was a box to write comments. I can't recall exactly what is was for, maybe for opposition on religious grounds. I wrote in there that I oppose jury duty on moral grounds. Not in detail, just something like "I oppose jury duty on moral grounds". I received a postcard shortly thereafter that said I was excused.
