It's just that I am worried about crazy people running after bitcoiners.
Crazy people? Some would say that the people on this forum are the crazy ones. "Creating your own currency? Pfft! Yeah right! Only governments can do that!", etc...

But I see what I did wrong... I was looking so hard for an excuse to stop working that I posted on the wrong topic... I should have started this on the one where porn was bashed, not here.
I didn't bash porn. In fact I love porn. It's just that I am worried about crazy people running after bitcoiners.
For the record I'm pretty much pro-porn and pro-gun. Though I understand why some people have issues with either one of those, I figure those are their issues and I don't want the government involved. I'm sure we can all think of relevant quotes from the likes of Franklin and Washington. Hell, I don't use any illegal drugs but I'd be for decriminalizing them, setting up some legal way to have prostitution outside of nevada, all kinds of things that are "bad". I don't see how throwing people in cages when they offend ones morals helps any. But that's just my .02 BTC. BTW anyone notice that mtgox is down to around 20 cents? It was close to 29 just the other day, does it always fluctuate that wildly? Maybe people exchanging BTC for dollars for christmas shopping?
mtgox: yeah, it's not the first time, it happens every time someone buys or sells a lot, the market is still very small.
pro-stuff: that is the trick, I guess. I don't want to be taken as against anything. I don't own a gun, and I don't own any pornography (believe it or not
). I wasn't trying to say do one and not the other, but rather that we shouldn't try to police this things, when the very nature of bitcoins is to avoid that very control.But I see what I did wrong...

Yes, daddy.

Now we're getting somewhere!
breandan81, yes there is a sale on bitcoin at MTGox. That might be an early Christmas present. However if I buy some it is sure to go down some more.
Nobody said anything about stopping sex. We're talking about porn.
The difference escapes me. It's sex when you do it, it's porn when you sell the tapes?
Anyway, I think the thing that really grates on my nerves is this idea that the "American Way" is somehow inferior to, what, the European way?
Completely agree! Notice how I never mentioned any alternative? The thing with the "American Way" is that it is advertised as better than any other, and force fed onto those who are not Americans or are not in agreement with it. You are free to disagree with me, and you know why? Because neither of us is bound to a 3rd party set of rules for what we are supposed to do or think. Yes, Europe has it's way too, and that is try and mimic the Americans in most everything
I'm sure lots of people on here don't like the Tea Party, but the Tea Party movement is an outworking of the uniqueness of America. Yes, the USA has some big problems and is headed in a fascist direction. But where else in the world do you get thousands of people protesting for government to stop giving them freebies? Where else do people demand their government spend less?
Porn, guns, Tea Party, freedom, self-reliance, state paternalism. These things are all tied together.
Anyway, get back to work.

If gun ownership led to bank robbery Switzerland would be in a state of siege.
(Sorry about my participation in this thread hi-jacking, breandan. Just advertising the benefits of gun ownership for ya!)

Yep, and if Pornography would lead to rotten souls there would be a lot of people trying to justify owning guns... oh, wait, I just shot myself in the foot :p
I don't like guns, shooting is not my thing. I never said it was wrong to own guns. The way they are usually used, well, I can object to that, but you are free to own a nuclear warhead for all I care.
The problem I usually have on this subject is not related to guns, but to double standards... There aren't many things as healthy and enjoyable as sex, yet we talk about pornography and suddenly there are lost souls everywhere; We must stop this devilish thing called sex! It is killing society. Oh, and if you can enforce that using guns? win-win!
:O
But, hey, I'm just a guy here, and the truth is I only mock because I jealous... I'm sure my kids are much safer with guns in the house than with Playboy TV, there are certainly statistics about it.
I'm being really pedantic here, am I not? Sorry about that, work is boring today...

Not trying to be moralist or anything, but I talk about porn for teenagers and I get "we don't want the parents hovering on us because of this" type of comment, but now you sell firearms and ammos for bitcoins...
Oh the irony of the American Way (tm)
Oh the irony of the American Way (tm)
That's one view.
My view is porn is more dangerous than firearms.
Firearms can destroy the body, porn can destroy the soul.
Firearms can keep government in check. Porn can keep the populace subdued and compliant.
Yep, the irony of the American Way (tm) at it's best, as I said.
Now give me just a sec while I go rob a bank with my naked aroused body, the tellers' souls won't even know what hit them. And then I'll join the porn army to go and fight the infidels that, you know, like sex.

That was just a public key for anyone who wanted to encrypt something for me. And on the porn subject, I didn't complain about that, nor would I. I'm offering a gun and some ammo for sale for bitcoin because I have them and have been thinking about selling them for a while. It's completely legal as long as it's in state, I'd need to make the exchange in person, it's kind of a long shot but I figured someone might contact me and live in my area. I agree that the porn/violence thing is weird in the US but well.. it's the US.. what can I say, life perplexes me here but that's why we have things like pgp and bitcoin.
Yep, don't take my comment as anything personal or judgmental. I don't like guns, I like porn, thus I do have a bias, but I didn't mean to imply everyone should think like me, oh no! That would make sarcasm so very difficult
Being "legal" is exactly what I'm crying wolf about. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's correct, and the opposite also holds true, but I like to think we are more or less free, and freedom implies we don't need to be correct, we are not required to anything. Society will then, as a whole, mandate the price we pay for the way we act and we decide if it's worth it or not.
But I digress, good luck with your sale, we should be using bitcoins for *everything*.
no worries, thanks for the info about agorism, I realized I didn't fully understand it and read the wikipedia article. The left/right thing is weird though cuz I would consider radical free market anarchism inherently right wing, but I guess it's just a matter of definitions.

who is this message encrypted for?
oh btw, you can contact me with pm.
I've also been thinking if there is anyone willing to be non-anonymous we could maybe set up a time and place in the dallas area to exchange cash and items for bitcoins. A starbucks or a bar with wifi would be ideal since everyone could have a laptop to carry out the bitcoin exchanges.
