Ah, so I am biased and purposefully missed something. That is good to know what my motives were for my post. You obviously seem to have a much better understanding of them than I do.

I don't think I need to say this, but just in case. Correlation =/= Causation Saying vaccines cause/caused all of those things is a very, very large claim that requires mountains of evidence to prove. You claim that someone else needs to provide evidence for their claims and then you do not provide evidence for your claims.

This comedy bit hits a little closer to home after reading that article: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cBK0T-dgo8

I would recommend setting your boundaries and expressing what you are comfortable with at this time. Once the boundaries are set, you are free to move around within those boundaries and to let Dolly know if/when you are comfortable expanding them. It sounds to me like this is an issue with boundaries and you both have different ideas as to where they are or what you want them to be. Negotiating and figuring out where they are could be very useful for you and for her. You also may not be exactly sure where your boundaries are and a conversation about the topic would be useful in figuring that out. I would also analyze what signals you may have been putting out there that she thought that your boundaries were somewhere outside of your comfort zone.

Hmmm... I think of these "isms" as simply categorization of things and ideas, in the same way that my chair is in a different category than my desk and math is in a different category than chemistry. I do not think that anyone is putting emotional baggage into the use of a variety if "isms" except you, who seems to be quite opposed to the idea. Feel free to correct me, of course.

I am going to throw in the existing thread on Hearthstone in here for some cross-pollination https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/39742-any-hearthstone-players-here Hearthstone is a mostly casual Digital CCG that is free to play, you only need to pay if you enjoy the game or wish to progress faster, so I recommend people trying it out. http://us.battle.net/hearthstone/en/?- Even if you aren't normally a PC gamer, some modes are casual enough that you could get into this game anyway. My Battletag is Snipes777#1449 If you could let me know that you added me from here, either by sending a pm on FDR (or if the system allows you to add an explanation to the friend request) itll help me know where you came from!

Apparently you do, because as I said earlier, your claim is the exact opposite of the available evidence, which is why I offered up the evidence from said expert and told you how to easily find it. I have not dodged any arguments. I have pointed out a single piece of innaccurate information and told you where to find evidence to the contrary. That may have been a good argument for others in this thread, I do not know. I only know that it had nothing to do with the statement to which I provided evidence to its falsehood, therefore using the argument against my argument when they were not related at all is rather silly to say the least. I think I am getting a clearer picture of the point of this thread, so I will dismiss myself from further discussion and move on to other things. For anyone who is actually curious as to the topic of the causes of suicide terrorism now has the resources to be able to find the facts on the issue.

Hmmm, maybe you misunderstood my post, so I will attempt to make it clearer. I was not saying that any one society is better than the other. Personally, I want to be no where near that part of the world right now. What I was saying is that there is a man, whose name is Robert Pape, who has compiled data on every single suicide terror attack in modern history and has compiled the data for your easy consumption in the form of a presentation on YouTube, book, or several other media you may enjoy. This data only takes a simple google search and a little time to access. I was showing you facts which contradict one of your claims, which the facts of every suicide terror attack in history is a much better sample size than your anecdotes, no matter how well you may remember them or how accurate they may be. You are free to continue with emotional argumentation about t-shirts, but that only reveals that this thread is not about the facts of the situation. However, you could choose to look into some of the information, see where the contradictions may be, come up with some sort of refutation or otherwise intergrate the new data into your theory. If that were to happen, I would be happy to talk with you further about the topic. The information was quite shocking when I read it a couple years ago, and I think it is a very valuable topic to actually understand what the causes are, such that we can be sure that the steps we are taking to solve the problem actually help rather than aggravate the situation. I hope that I was able to make my information more clear in this post.

I am pretty sure the opposite of this is true. I send you to Robert Pape's work on terrorism, and especially suicide terrorism (which is 10x more deadly on average). There is a massive correlation between terror attacks and suicide terror attacks and foreign occupation. If the foreign occupation stops, then the terror stops. He is by far the biggest scholar on the topic and has done a lot of work and data mining in order to justify his claims. If the topic is of interest to you, he has a few books published.

If you somewhat know what you are doing (but are still relatively easily able to be hacked) I feel like you would be looked into more than someone who didn't use encryption or anything. However, feel free to encrypt as many innocuous messages as you feel like. It is slightly entertaining to send a shopping list with GPG encryption. The safest methods involve passing physical items or talking in person. There are resources out there like the Anonymous – The Über-Secret Handbook and any entire group and ideology of cryptoanarchy, which bitcoin has many of it's roots in. However, it is vastly more dangerous for you to kind of know what you are doing than to not know what you are doing and assuming that it is unsafe to communicate through the inerwebs. Thus, you can either spend quite a bit of time trying to be safe and secure, which even then it can be quite difficult ot you can just assume that everything that you say is public information and thus act accordingly. Neither is a perfect solution.

I would also agree with this and I shouldn't have assumed that you had the proper hardware and knew what you were doing necessarily. I very much advise against anyone from mining who does not know a ton about what they are going and have a couple thousand to drop on the newest mining technology. If you are a beginner to bitcoin, you should not mine unless you have free electricity for some reason.

I would recommend going here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=42.0 It has been too long since I did mining and things could have drastically changed since then.

Everything is conditional. For instance, in order to even call something love, some sort of relationship must exist as a conditional. The unconditional part is that nothing could be done by someone in order for the love to stop.
