  1. Re:Two simple reasons on Why the Swiss Still Love Cash (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not "tracking". That's providing a natural limit to transactions. It's equivalent of having a $200 checking account where money are automatically transferred to a different account for which you do not have a debit card. Completely different thing.

    That's a DIFFERENT argument.

    Sane people control their spending by looking at the price and thoroughly analyzing if the price is right. There is even a TV program devoted to that named just that: "The Price is Right".

    Sane people do not do impulse purchases. They know exactly what they want when they go to Amazon website..

    That's how you do it.

    Swiss people are just brainless overhyped idiots who, like Americans, benefited from the geographical situation of their country when half of the country is covered by Alps.

  2. Two simple reasons on Why the Swiss Still Love Cash (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Two simple reasons are that cash is widely considered to be part of their culture and people believe that using it allows them to track their spending more easily.

    What the actual heck??? That's insane. How on earth it is easier to track spending with cash? Electronic transactions are _recorded_, thus allowing automatically track the spending.

    Every year I download huge, 1000s likes Excel document detailing where I spent my money. I have to do almost nothing to track my finances nowadays.

    The article is written by a brainless libnut imbecile.

    What it does do is it means everyone who views or owns any of those images is now considered as viewing "extreme pornography" and lumped in with pedophiles. Now the government has a nice big stick to hit a large portion of the population should they wish.

    It looks like you are saying this as if it is a bad thing

    Does it stop the images appearing on the internet? Of course not.

    Of course, yes, you moron. No anti-crime measures ever worked 100%. Crime is eternal. Yet from the dawn of state people fought crime and fought it hard, despite endlessness of it.

    That's how you do it. You fight crime because you must. Not to win. People will always kill, steal, rape, rob and try to find indecent imagery to jerk off.

    The anti-crime measures are intended to lessen the crime. And they typically do.

    Internet control is a very effective way of reducing amount of pornography consumed by children and it WILL work.

    Stop repeating this liberal propaganda bullshit that "these measures never worked". They do, for a while. Then humans, the morons they are, "find a way". Then another measure will come. The cycle is endless, but the result is the same, crime is being curbed.

    Internet censorship works in China and Russia. Period. It vastly reduced the amount of materials government does not want you to see and, thus, works as the tool supporting the main goal of any government from the dawn of time: to survive.

  18. I wish every time one of you blithering imbecile parrots repeat thus stupidity about First Amendment somebody takes a paper copy of that and shoves it up your stupid asses until it comes out between you moron teeth.

    fa is just a paper. It means nothing. What important is the principle of free speech. And for that principle it absolutely does not matter what suppresses it, government or viseohosting de facto monopoly. At late stage capitalism monopolies are indistinguishable from governments.

  19. The difference between white racism and racism of other races is that it is centered on segregation. While racists of other races hate others they are willing to tolerate them in some form of existence.

    Another distinction is that since white nationalists are anti Semitic they are agains Ashkenazi Jews as well, who are pretty white (some of them are not pretty). Which makes them closer to WASP nationalists.

    Xenophobia knows many shades and it is a basic animalistic emotion.
