In other news, Kirby had a penalty saved as the U23s drew nil nil with Leeds. The Leeds goalie had a blinder.

And yes I do think the Iraq war was legal and that the attacks on Blair totally unjustified. I think Blair's primary role was to try to moderate Bush's responses whilst providing support. We won't really know until all the records are unsealed. Unbelievable

I suppose in his position he would but I do tend to agree with the general sentiment, even though it's a little sensationalist. My views are pretty well covered in various threads on here but it's a massively cultish enterprise with little basis in reality other than 'it'll come good'. If you can take the high risks there is certainly profit to be made from it though, even if you didn't invest early. Blockchain technology will work its way into mainstream currency exchange at some stage, but under the stewardship of a massive corporate, government or bank. Not under the bitcoin, Litecoin, XRP, Smackathon (Even a complete helmet like Pitbull has his own Crypto) or any other unregulated, decentralised enterprise. Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

To be fair to Tux....the markets have always been immoral. They have zero morality.....it isn't what they are for. Yes, cryptocurrency is used by criminals and is a manipulated exchange....but so are the normal markets....One is just official and has criminals who are rewarded in society and crypto's criminals aren't.
