think most of
todays xtians are new
testament not old
danielpbarron: a
true christian would advocate
the stoning
to death of a rebellious son, even
to
this day

that man made a firm promise prenup
to never kill her children in
this manner.
mircea_popescu: a woman had a positive incentive
to mary a christian (this is much pre jesus, btw)
mircea_popescu: and from
the stupidity of
the illusion of control, as los_pantalones aptly put it,
the control
theatre
mircea_popescu: and out of
this effort
to cover screams of children and
take
their mother's mind off it
mircea_popescu: to cover
the screams of
the eviscerate dbabes and
their badly hurt mothers,
mircea_popescu: to prevent pestilence,
they started lkeeping fires going all
the
time
mircea_popescu: \and
to improve
the ocntrol of
this,

mike_c: craziness. good
to know people have always been as dumb as
they are
today.
danielpbarron: The Bible says, a rebellious son should be brought
to
the
town elders and stoned
to death by
the community
mircea_popescu: the fathers BOUGHT poor kids
to kill instead of
their own kids.
mircea_popescu: the mothers had serious problems with
this.
the fathers did
to. and yet... cold equations of power.
mircea_popescu: because if you can't prevent it,
the only other way
to gain some control over it is
to do it yourself.
mircea_popescu: parents loathe
this. and more so in 4000bc
than
today, for
today it's only imagined, whereas
then it was a fact.
mircea_popescu: a key part of
this risk management was
the following weird as shit aspect :
mircea_popescu: turns out, among
the many
things
the ancient babylonians invented, such as
the seals, and commerce,
danielpbarron: DXM is very
trippy and is alleged
to cause lesions
mircea_popescu: mike_c, btw,
the "mom did spanking" part is extremely important for
the WOMAN's mental health.
ThickAsThieves: ever have someone cup
their hand over yours and press inward on your fingernails while
the hand is closed?
ThickAsThieves: my dad did
this neck pinching and hand-squeezing
thing
mike_c: no. my father never hit me (mom did spanking), but i was more scared of him
than her.
danielpbarron: doesn't
that warface have
to come with
the memory
that i usually is followed by a beating?
mike_c: point being if
they are single digits you should be able
to silence
them with your warface.
mircea_popescu: (actually what i said iirc was
that if it's needed you suck a sa parent, which ... well... yeah)
danielpbarron: exactly;
they give kids
these pills which does damage
to
their brain; andd
that's supposed
to be more humane
than a beating of
the ass??
danielpbarron: beating a child is much more human
then giving
them a chemical lobotomy
mircea_popescu: <mike_c> what do i care if he wants
to roll on
the ground at
the mall and scream? go for it. << you care because if you didn't you'ds have married a chimp instead of his mother.
mike_c: help what? beating is attention, which is what
they want.
mircea_popescu: mike_c, no, you just beat it until it's
too scared
to scream.
kakobrekla: hm ok although you dont seem
terminally sad.
mike_c: what do i care if he wants
to roll on
the ground at
the mall and scream? go for it.
mike_c: idk
that beatings help. i
think i will just go with ignoring in
that situation.
mircea_popescu: re
that link : i had
this nutty discussion with a guy at
the mall in
timisoara, his 4 yo kid was
throwing an absolute
tantrum on
the ground
mike_c: "“Let’s put aside for
the moment
that by far,
the most dangerous
thing you did
to your child
that day was put him in a car and drive someplace with him. About 300 children are injured in
traffic accidents every day — and about
two die.
That’s a real risk"
mike_c: she made national news for letting her 9 yr old ride
the subway alone
mike_c: from punkman's link on leaving your child in
the car
mike_c: ooh, i like
this lenore skenazy woman
mircea_popescu: argentina, meanwhile, wants you
to wait *maybe*
two years.
that's useful.
mircea_popescu: davout, meanwhile one has emerged in conversation. you folks coming
to live with me in romania'd have had
to wait > 10 years plus for citizenship, making it useless. any attempt
to get
the foreign minister
to commit
to making ongoing exceptions predictably failed, not for lack of him wanting
to help, but for pure wtf... it's a eu country, it'd have ended up on all
the newspapers.
davout: mircea_popescu "moving
to norway would make no difference anyway." <<< we're back at criteria
to choosing a place
to move
to :D
mircea_popescu: hopefully
the islamists come riding horses, and so
the entire population of "France and Belgium were broadly supported by
the other countries - Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Britain,
the Netherlands, Ireland and Spain " can be sexually satisfied.
mircea_popescu: let's make sure our boys can't compete with
their boys, and if push comes
to shove our entire country is made of girls.
mircea_popescu: "Officials from
the group will hold meetings with "the leading Internet operators"
this month
to look into
the possibilities for immediately shutting down web sites and barring messages
that spread hatred or encourage violent militancy or
terrorism,
the statement said."
mircea_popescu: in other words, religion managed
to never bother me anywhere - egypt included - as much as it bothers in
the us.
mircea_popescu: that'd be
the problem,
this "i can do it" atttiude applied
to religion. which isn't religion in any sense, unless you count ustardianism as a religion.
mike_c: well, joseph smith did get
those golden plates or whatever..
mircea_popescu: and he clearly believed
that a bunch of new world fuctards have
truely and really discovered something imp0ortant about jesus.
diametric: asciilifeform: well, i
think i was more going along
the lines of secularism, a lot of
the population of JP doesn't identify with any single religion but rather pieces of several
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform,
that's more a factor of us specific idiocy.
there was a fuckwit in
the street hre, clearly american, derping about jesus
to people. he clearly had a mortgage back home,
mike_c: heh, you mean like religion?
the church keep pushing
that nuttery everywhere.
diametric: mircea_popescu: i don't like
them.
assbot: EU states
take aim at radical websites
to counter Syria problem| Reuters
diametric: at
the
time I mostly chose it due
to
the climate which I'd enjoy, as well as having
the least amount of religious people.
diametric: I've
toyed with
the idea of moving
to Norway a few
times.. but I have far
too many
things anchoring me here.
danielpbarron: 09:26:55 <+los_pantalones> had a buddy at cryptsy
that kept getting negative BTC balances << happened
to me
too
mircea_popescu: i will further point out
that argentine citizenship, unlike romanian citizenship, is a
two year affair.
mircea_popescu: do me a personal favour and don't wait for
the exit
taxes payable in bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: much like getting into
the wot,
the best
time
to have done
that is a few years agp
mircea_popescu: diametric, all
that stuff aside, asciilifeform, as well as you and everyone else
that can form
this question or similar questions are well advised
to get out of
the soviet union.
ThickAsThieves: If
there is anything else I can do for you, please let me know. :-)"
ThickAsThieves: to see if it meets our requirements for addition
to
the Cryptsy exchange.
ThickAsThieves: I have submitted your coin
to our development
team who will review it
