100 Bitcoin ATMs coming to Australia

Australian Bitcoin ATMs is a company that does exactly what you think it does: roll-out Bitcoin ATMs around this great country of ours. Now the company has announced it will soon open 100 Bitcoin ATMs around the country so you can convert your digital currency to physical dollars on the street.

The ATMs will facilitate the conversion of Bitcoin to physical currency, and vice versa

reserve Banks must have gotten of top of Bitcoin. Find it hard to get into NZ for ATM’s

Are you really suggesting that only religious fanatics are capable of good works?

No bb, why on earth would you read anything like that into the words I used?

I would suggest that non religious people do more of these “good works” than religious fanatics

Yes there are a few who take time off work to go overseas and do something like work at a school for awhile, which is great, one wishes it was a more common practice than it is.

non religious people do “good works” for more pure reasons than religious fanatics.

And how would you know that, bb? Do you really know the inner motivation of every single person both religious and non-religious, or are you just assuming you do?

Reid you ignore the bible and the rules and morality laid down in it. If you are a good person it is in spite of your blind faith, not because of it.

[Blasphemy is Punishable by Death

One who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall be put to death; the whole congregation shall stone the blasphemer. Aliens as well as citizens, when they blaspheme the Name, shall be put to death. (NRSV) — Leviticus 24:16

People Who Work on Sunday Should be Killed

You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on that day must be put to death. (NLT) — Exodus 35:2

If a Woman is Not a Virgin When She Gets Married, She Has to Die

“If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and detests her, and charges her with shameful conduct, and brings a bad name on her, and says, ‘I took this woman, and when I came to her I found she was not a virgin,’ … and evidences of virginity are not found for the young woman, then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones … (NKJV) — Deuteronomy 22:13-14,20-21

Women Should Shut the Hell Up and Do as They’re Told

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. (NIV) — Timothy 2:11-12]

Now you will attempt to respond:

1. Out of context… which is simply to say you approve of those things, just so long they are in context.

2. The New Testament and Jesus changed those laws… which is a blatant inexcusable lie.

[So first, here is Jesus speaking specifically on the topic of Old Testament teachings:

The Law Stands

“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:18-19

“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17)

“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law” (John7:19)

Keep in mind, this is Jesus Christ saying this–in the Bible that all Christians own and cherish. Don’t take my word for it; look it up–it’s all there.

So now that we understand that he fully supported what’s in the Old Testament, let’s take a look at what he actually just commanded us to uphold.]

http://www.danielmiessler.com/blog/no-jesus-did-not-soften-the-old-testament-in-fact-he-did-the-opposite-and-heres-what-that-means

No wonder even the Jews hate your guts.

Kea , you give a highly distorted view of Christians and Israel. As group they receive the same rights equal protection of the laws as do other Israeli citizens. This is not to say there are tensions between certain elements, especially proselytizing and messianic Christian sects and ultra orthodox Jews.
Thankfully so far no one has been hacked to death or blown up by a suicide bomber.
But at least proselytizing in Israel , you’ll be happy to learn, is not a capital crime with the death penalty as In Saudi Arabia and Iran.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Israel#Christianity

I undertand that your lack of a response to Pat Condell’s support for Israel’s right to exist and his view that the Palestinian cause is a bogus one indicates agreement with him.?
Your latest quotes do require context and not read in isolation from prior or subsequent versus .
A complementary quote from your Koran would a good idea for comparison .

stephieboy, no my view is not distorted and I know even Muslims receive the same rights equal protection of the laws as do other Israeli citizens. A Muslim who visited there told me that first hand.

But you are avoiding my point.

You never point out to kowtow that most Muslims do not behave that way. You never point out how Christians, Jews and Muslims mostly live together in harmony. Your are full of shit and do not hold the beliefs and values you are pretending to hold.

Told you so, many have gone before and tried to use logic with the Kea troll.
But alas he lives in a hate filled zone where vilification and distortion keep him warm at night.

Pretty much 99% of his 10K comments have been spitting hate at anybody who has faith in religion.

I suggest you are wasting your time and just pissing off everyone else who is over this sad little troll with his daily thread jacks. It’s meant to be GD not Kea’s personal echo chamber.

Reidy – it is no use debating Kea. He is a fanatical anti-Christian, apparently raised in a Christian home, who now rails against everything his parents stood for. He is also a troll who makes inflammatory comments about religion all day long. Presumably he has all day and no other way to spend his time.

So I would respectfully suggest do not react to his comments. “Do not feed the troll” is I understand to be the appropriate advice here 🙂

I find Gower not only the ugliest man on the tv , but an over the top full of his own self importance loon who would be better suited to haunting houses as a profession. Performances like his last night on TV3 severely undermine his credibility as a journalist.

Snott, got anything to say about the topic ? Thought not.

stephieboy, I am bored with you. Your dishonesty and lies make any debate impossible. You have even denied Israel receives any aid from the US, in spite of it being no secret and in spite of me showing Israeli newspaper articles talking about how they want more. You similarly denied that there was any Jewish lobby in the US, in spite of the well known and high profile existence of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). You claimed I get info from hate sites, like Stormfront, when I supplied articles in support from mainstream popular Israeli news sources…. And it just goes on from there.

You are either dangerously stupid or just another nasty vile religious bigot… or possibly both. You are fortunate there is no hell for you to rot in.

Take a good long look at the results of socialism in Venezuela.
People queuing in a store to buy toilet paper.

CARACAS, Venezuela — On aisle seven, among the diapers and fabric softener, the socialist dreams of the late Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez looked as ragged as the toilet paper display.

Employees at the Excelsior Gama supermarket had set out a load of extra-soft six-roll packs so large that it nearly blocked the aisle. To stock the shelves with it would have been pointless. Soon word spread that the long-awaited rolls had arrived, and despite a government-imposed limit of one package per person, the checkout lines stretched all the way to the decimated dairy case in the back of the store.

“This is so depressing,” said Maria Plaza, 30, a lawyer, an hour and a half into her wait. “Pathetic.”

Pathetic, in a country with the world’s largest petroleum reserves and oil prices at nearly $95 a barrel, yet unable to supply basic goods because of its crumbling local currency and a shortage of U.S. dollars.

“Soon we’ll be using newspaper, just like they do in Cuba!” said an elderly man nearby, inching forward in line. “Yeah! Like Cuba!” others shouted.

Gower has now turned to Winston, trying to extract some news from him – Opinion: Winston, stop talking waffle

He implies it’s not democratic if someone getting just over 5% can “decide who runs New Zealand” – Gower seems to mix the fact the others would need to also decide before Winston gets any shot at it.

And Gower is still getting way ahead of himself, saying “Peters only got just over five percent of the vote” – it was a single poll nine months before we get to vote.

When I was a youngster we used to use the Weekly News and the NZ Free Lance for toilet paper.
Our toilet was a drum which we used to empty into the garden when it filled up. Grew great rhubarb.

Dene Mackenzie (ODT) has suggested a possible coincidence of Bill English resigning from the Clutha-Southland electorate…

English to transfer to list next year

Deputy Prime Minister Bill English will seek nomination for the National Party list and step down as member of Parliament for Clutha-Southland, which includes the Wakatipu, at the election next year.

…and his brother Connor English resigning as CEO at Federated Farmers.

Conor English resigns as Federated Farmers Chief Executive

“I grew up in a household that talked a lot about the three “P’s” – the Prime Minister, the Pope and the President of Federated Farmers. It has been a great privilege for me to lead this organisation in the capacity of CEO and to serve our fantastic farmers and rural community.

“2014 will be a year of change and excitement for me,” Mr English said.

We can be fairly sure it won’t be trying to go for Pope that is exciting him anyway.

Meanwhile on TV1 tonight at midnight you can watch I shouldn’t be alive.

If the guide on TVNZ’s website is correct, tonight’s episode features Marni Sheppeard aka Kea.

Mind you, TVNZ’s website also claims that its repeating season 3 in which case it won’t be the Kea episode.

Not sure nasska but I think it will be a new global one backed by gold, which they’ll launch once the fiat money debacle unravels but there’s other things that will happen leading up to that like hyperinflation and a nuclear + biological war.

Reid, you are dreaming if you think gold is the answer. All that will happen is the price of gold will go up to allow the printing of more money. The price of gold is not its intrinsic practical value. It is what the market says it is. As long a money is issued as debt we will always have this problem. I am not sure of the answer, but it is not gold. Our present system is actually ok, if countries don’t take-the-piss in the way the US and others have.

It may be that a new system of reserve banking will emerge but in the interim the new currency would have to be backed by something tangible. As Reid prophesied gold would be the likely standard.

nasska, the other problem is the amount of gold is not linked to the countries productivity. So the country could be highly productive, but not able to expand due to a shortage of gold. I guess the reverse could happen also. It is an attractive idea until you really start to think about it.

I certainly agree that something needs to be done about the current situation which is an absurd one.

If the financial system crashes productivity, trade, alliances, in fact anything we value now will be wiped away & whoever is left will pick up the pieces & start again. I suspect the UN will try for the big takeover but as human nature normally triumphs in any given situation I’m still backing the nation with the gold & a loyal army.

nasska, I believe the financial system will probably crash. In fact I think it has already but no one is willing to call it as everyone will suffer. So they just keep on pretending its all ok out of self interest. The US is so hopelessly in debt it has no chance of ever paying it back. It has to borrow just to pay the interest. And some others are not much better off.

It seems reasonable to assume that countries with essential goods will emerge better off. And those whose wealth is largely tied up in funny money will suffer. Singapore might do poorly and Thailand better, for example.

So Selling old assets and building new is good business then.

NSW seen as world’s infrastructure capital thanks to $85b in projects, says Mike Baird

The O’Farrell government’s strategy of selling public assets and using the capital to fund new infrastructure has helped Australia to become the “centre of attention” for the global infrastructure industry, Treasurer Mike Baird says.

When Mr Baird met international infrastructure investors in Japan, Singapore and Britain last month he found them excited about the opportunities in NSW and across the country.

“They have effectively dubbed NSW, and more broadly Australia, the infrastructure capital of the world over the next three to five years,” he said. “That’s good news because it’s going to help tackle the infrastructure backlog.”

Since taking office in 2011, the O’Farrell government has privatised the Sydney desalination plant, Port Botany and Port Wollongong and will “recycle” the capital raised to fund new infrastructure.

The long-term leases of the Port of Newcastle and the state-owned electricity generator Macquarie Generation will be finalised before the state budget is handed down in June. The lease of the state-owned Delta Electricity is due to be completed by the end of this year.

That Abbott fellow is showing Key the way.

8:01am: A quarter of Australia’s public schools could turn independent by 2017, with the Federal Government announcing a $70 million plan this morning.

The move fulfils an election promise in which the $70 million will be spent on getting parents and principals to have more say on school curriculums, budgets and management.

“Sure it is a tight budgetary situation but the prime minister and I have agreed that $70 million is about right to give this the kick along that we want to see happen,” Education Minister Christopher Pyne told ABC radio.
