MisterE: If Katrina had hit
The Hamptons you
think people would be drowning in
their second story homes?
MisterE: Diablo-D3: Americans are some of
the worst most uncaring people I've ever met and I'm pretty well
travelled everywhere except Europe and North Asia / Russia
Diablo-D3: its okay
to go back
to
the land, as long as you do responsibly
Diablo-D3: cazalla: yes, and
thats because
they've been brainwashed by people who dont have
their best interests in mind
cazalla: MisterE: and I'm hostile (some would say hateful) because I am paying for it as is
the rest of
the middle class and we're jack of it
cazalla: MisterE:
they don't want a better life,
they want
to live in
the bush as
they did before
the British came here, I am happy for
them
to do
that, government is not and
they keep
throwing money at
them
Diablo-D3: no free pass just because
they're native american
Diablo-D3: treat native americans like
the americans
they are
Diablo-D3: and
they were denied
the birthright of
their own culture
Diablo-D3: but its because
they DIDNT go
to better homes
MisterE: that sounds hard
to believe
MisterE: Why are you hostile
to
the people who just want a better life? You should be pissed at your representatives in Sydney who are making policy on how
to handle it and I guess believe in handouts for people who can't vote?
cazalla: Diablo-D3:
the australian government removed indigenous children from homes like
that, 50 years later, lawsuits everywhere
Diablo-D3: its appalling what some americans do
to others, and
then make
them
think it was
their idea
Diablo-D3: growing up in an environment
that isnt 24/7 drugs, rape, and whatnot is one of
them
cazalla: if it was an even playing field, i probably wouldn't be so hostile
to
them like most australian's are
Diablo-D3: I
think reservations should be ended
to be honest
cazalla: as
the middle class see
them getting something we're not plus we pay for it
cazalla: which fuels
the hate people like me have
towards
them
MisterE: ofc
the reservations are in
the shittiest places where
there is no work
cazalla: they are
totally dependent on
the system
MisterE: look at
the US indian reservations for examples
MisterE: yea
those handouts are curses in disguise
MisterE: anyone else so comes from abroad should not be able
to get benefits even if
they can't show
they are
there legally or a citizen
cazalla: abos have been given more
than any other people in
this country MisterE
cazalla: so you've got middle class
tax payer upset
that immigrants, asylum seekers, illegals etc etc are flooding
the country, draining
the welfare system while
they pay for it in increased
taxes, gov sells off it's assets
to pay for people
that don't even belong here
MisterE: they were
there first and all
MisterE: they are
the only deserving leeches
MisterE: not
that I'm particularly happy
the welfare system is paying into aboriginals and decimating
the culture but... not my country
cazalla: but
they
too leech
the system
MisterE: but not by
the aboriginals?
cazalla: welfare system in
this country is being bled dry
cazalla: because
they have white guilt
cazalla: they're happy
to be flooded by immigrants
cazalla: most people here don't share my views
though
MisterE: got a couple mates around
there
cazalla: not even
that many people come by boat
MisterE: oh lots of people work 'off
the books'
there right?
cazalla: i'm sure
they
try
to catch
them but it's like finding a needle in a haystack
MisterE: when
the cops stop
them for something don't
they get caught?
MisterE: is
there no efort
to locate people who overstay?
MisterE: if
they come by plane
they are
turned back at immigration?
cazalla: so we vote for whoever will keep
them out yet no politician is game
to get up and say he will sink
the boats and feed
the people
to
the sharks
cazalla: the last election was pretty much won on who would be
tougher on boat people
cazalla: one party wins,
they'll rule for 2 periods and
then we will swap
to
the other
team for 2 periods and on it goes
cazalla: seriously
though, i don't care anymore
MisterE: at least it's not first pass
the post system
cazalla: 2 party system here, both are
the same
MisterE: thats really sad
to hear about AU
MisterE: but we have
to satisfy
the whackos because
they man
the gates
to power
cazalla: i am finding a lot of people my age no longer care, don't even bother voting even
though it's compulsory
MisterE: then after
the primary
they
try
to broaden
their message
to appeal
to more people
MisterE: and
the party determines who
to back with like 1% of
the base voting at primaries
MisterE: so candidates cater
to
them
MisterE: not much participation by any but
the extremists
MisterE: dub:
thought
that was a scouser
thing?
dub: liberal in australia means you marry more
than one farm animal
MisterE: it's shifted so far
to
the right
that conservatives of old would not even have a place in
the spectrum anymore
MisterE: there is no liberal in
the US anymore
cazalla: liberal in australia means something else
to liberal in america
MisterE: Yea but you and
the Kiwis and sometimes
the Canuks were
the rational ones usually
cazalla: it's fucked but
that seems
to be occurring in every country now
cazalla: tackling cyber bullying is a big
thing here nowadays
cazalla: moot says 95% of
the shit posters on 4chan are from australia
MisterE: because we're awake at
the same
time and you seem
to be one of
the few countries left who can stand us :P
cazalla: where are you from MisterE? it's usually quiet in here at
this
time, any chance australia or down
this way?
MisterE: I wonder how much
traffic
they are getting
cazalla: i only bet small
though so it's nothing
to get excited about even if i won every bet
MisterE: I'm good at
the craps
table because I play a very conservative game, max odds and
try
to bet
the
trends, I'm up ~$15k in my lifetime and I was sort of feeling
the same way abotu crypto, I'm doing OK but could all go
to hell in one game
cazalla: yeah, i'm not game
to push it any longer, i buy, put most into cold storage and save a little for some have some fun with it shit bets on bitbet
cazalla: always seemed
to cash out at
the right
time
cazalla: not
that i knew it at
the
time
MisterE: yea
there are so many people better at
the game
than me
cazalla: it's a wonder i made it
this far without being fleeced
tbh
cazalla: I don't anymore, not
that what I did before was
trading, more gambling
MisterE: Even
the simplest of
tricks I se often like putting up a big wall and when
the market starts moving canceling
the order
MisterE: cazalla: no matter where you
trade
there is manipulation so might as well
trade on
the exchange where it mostly happens so you can see it
MisterE: I have fiat sitting in BTC-e now and have been increasingly
thinking I need
to do something about
that
cazalla: I'm not game
to go near it or btc-e now
MisterE: I sold at 19.5 just before it went live, I
told people
to buy
the hype sell
the news but I know a lot of bag holders and people
that got burned
cazalla: MisterE: I don't
think
the Chinese care for it, majority of
the volume is still on btc-e, I figure coblee kicked
this off on his brother's exchange just so he could sell without fees or risk
MisterE: LTC on Huobi dump destroyed a lot of n00bs who could have been milked for years instead of in one big dump but nobody
thinks long-term
MisterE: I'm beginning
to
think crypto has jumped
the near-term shark
MisterE: for weekend
these markets are absolutely flat
MisterE: indeed, if only
there were an organization already in place who could
take on such a mission...
chetty: MisterE,
that would be more
than a full
time job
MisterE: should be a site dedicated
to vetting and
tracking exchange owners
MisterE: so hard keeping
track of
these dodgy characters
KRS-One: not
the same since
they moved
to panama
ozbot: Interacting with fiat institution, a guide pe
Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
chetty: haha well its still
this weeks news
Diablo-D3: I must have missed
that
to begin with
