The Wolf of Wall Street - 20/10
Can't believe I just saw this
Absolute turn up for DiCaprio and Robbie

"There is no nobility in poverty
I have been a rich man,
And I have been a poor man
And I choose rich every f..c.king time

Because at least as a rich man, when I have to face my problems,
I show up in the back of a limo, wearing a $2,000 suit
And a $40,000 gold f..c.kin.g watch!

And if anyone thinks I'm superficial and materialistic,
Go get a f..c..king job at McDonalds!"

As my people say,
"it's better to cry in a mansion, than inside a face-me-I-face-you" grin

Crime doesn't pay sha,
But if you want to do the crime, do it big enough to be able to afford a duplex in kirikiri

Shut Up. Just SHUT UP. I have my views on cryptocurrency but he didnt ask for my view but Islamic view. So shut up ....just zip it

There is no islamic view on cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency came out 1,300 years after quran and hadith. Anything outside currency trading is halal

Jazakhumullahi khayran brother
Ignore that kid.. he is not a Muslim but obsessed with Islam more than any religion he is practicing

Who told you that I'm a kid?

You should not be looking down on people, you that know nothing about cryptocurrency.

It is halal as long as you dont use it for its increase in value- interest is haram. Many people buy bitcoin and then sell it for dollars when its value increases.

Common sense not common

Question is, what's your business with us?. Just because I put that up doesn't mean I can't think for myself. His question was based on Islamic jurisprudence not individual opinion. He asked for Islam's stance on issue not a Muslim view.

When your govt says you must SOCIAL DISTANCE and USE MASK, do you (majority) disagree with them?. If you didn't, my question is, why don't you think for yourselves and do otherwise?. And why did all countries of the world comply with Western powers on COVID-19 protocols and couldn't think for themselves?.

Be guided, buddy.


You always make senseless analogies when arguing. It is like you are allergic to logic.

Science is not western. Science is universal. In fact, the virus and quarantine started in china.

But I digress. The main point is that muslims should think for themselves. Why not read the Quran and hadith and if you know that these two books cannot legislate on modern technology, why not use common sense?

Why must muslims wait for fatwas and rulings?

What is your imam's business on how you use cryptocurrency if you are using it like any other currency?

Salam alaykum brethren, what is the Islamic ruling onbcryptocurrency halal or haram

Empiree:
walaikum Salaam,

Cryptocurrency is really a new development, and still being look into by. Ulama. At this point there is no straight answer whether it is halal or Haram. It is just like forex trading, stock market etc. There are elements of Haram and Halal in them.

If cryptocurrency eventually becomes global legal tender we have no choice you know. We will only frown at Haram within.

Even as we speak some MUSLIMS are of the opinion that interest acrued by Bank and deposited to your is halal bcus they used your money for business.

All we need is time. Time dictates proper judgement on this.


xmuslim, come and see. This is why I could never become a muslim after leaving christianity. This mindset of everything being classified into black and white ("halal vs haram"wink is very myopic.

As you can see, some muslims cannot just think for themselves when challenged with new technology or issues.

See them waiting for fatwa and rulings on cryptocurrency.

My house was hot. Really hot.
Couldn't wait to leave.

lol....I can relate.

in my 20s, my babe was laughing at me when I couldnt put on generator in her apartment. She went to buy food and came back to meet me in darkness. This is the normal petrol generator that uses either key or rope to start.

That is impressive. Leaving home at 18. I wish I had some sense when I was 18.

I never said they are similar in plot.

Ready Player One wannabe as in the guys behind it crafted it to appeal to the nerd crowd, but quite unlike RPO, it doesn't have any theme, soul, or a pretence of a plot. To put it bluntly, the movie is a mindless, poorly shot, underwhelming action sequence.

Whereas Extraction (stupid film too) is all hat and no cattle, Gun Akimbo could boast of neither.

Guns Akimbo had the comedy down. It had a ridiculous villain and an over-the-top action female lead. It is the silliness of the movie that makes me love it. Sprinkle some nerd jokes and its okay.

It's a majority. Women are after your money. If you're broke, you'll never ever get married in your life.

Puh-leeze. All these women you mentioned are not real leaders. Angela Merkel is the only strong female leader since Margaret Thatcher.


Look around you. Are we in men or women's world? who invented electricity? Who invented Aeroplane? Who put man on the moon?


Nobody invented electricity, bro.

All of the women mentioned are leaders. Notice that I didnt mention Margaret Thatcher, who set women backwarrds.

Women also have high IQs

I'm a gamer too, and from my POV, Guns Akimbo is a poorly thought out Ready Player One wannabe.


lol.....Ready Player One is a different movie with a different plot.

The two movies do not even correlate. The only similarity is that they are both movies related to gaming.

Guns Akimbo is dark humour and gore while ready player one is more of a happy action movie.

Can you please mention the rom-coms Melissa was in? ...
She's mainly in comedies and action comedies...
You are acting unnecessarily woke,
Its well known Studios always seek attractive actors to play in Rom-coms....
It's no biggy and nothing to form woke about..


Mike and Molly. A rom-com series starring Melissa McCarthy.

Secondly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think the main lead in The Wrong Missy is cute in a comically weird way with her big eyes.


You are the one that needs to get a hold of yourself

wrong Missy...lol
Rom coms should have an attractive female lead at the very least to gain a broader audience...
Wrong Missy doesn't...


Stop thinking with your penis. Melissa McCartney is overweight and plus-sized, yet she had led rom-coms.

Too many sexists here. Una no dey do feminism?

Fixed.

I'm a gamer. Guns Akimbo will always be a masterpiece to me.

As for Extraction and The Wrong Missy, not everything has to be a masterpiece. It could just be entertaining. Extraction at least had action scenes going for it, even if it lacked a serious plot.

Time travel concept is inspired by whatever the writer happen to be smoking at the moment if writing the script.

The butterfly effect exists because some other movies say it exists so if MCU says it is not binding in their universe, who are you to disagree?



Or have you seen anyone time travel before?


Mudda Ph-ucing Smart ass punk.


You must be joking. Are you not aware of a thing called logic? Many scientists and philosophers have applied logic to the concept of time travel. That is how we come about temporal paradoxes and various theories on time travel.

Just because time travel is fiction, it does not mean that you should apply logic to your fictional story.
One important reason for this is because science fiction today, could be tomorrow's invention. Take for instance, self-lacing shoes that were first theorised in the movie BACK TO THE FUTURE. The self-lacing shoes used some sort of sensor and suction technology in the movie. That means that the movie used some logic in creating the fictional shoe- it did not use Cinderella magic in which the shoe laces come to life and ties themselves. Lo and behold, Nike has used similar technology to create self-lacing shoes.

The time travel in the avengers endgame is not logically consistent. How can one change the past without changing the the present or the future. The moment they retrieved the stones from the past, they made changes in the timeline.

If Captain America went back in time to spend a lifetime with agent Carter, then what happened to the timeline where captain America saw her die alone as a granny when he came back from being frozen in ice?

*100 YEARS FROM NOW !!!*

100 years from now will be the year 2120.

By then, every single reader of this piece will be underground, our bodies having become part of the soil.

During that time, our fate in respect to paradise or hell would have been made known to us.

Meanwhile above the soil, our houses that were left behind would have become either homes for others or demolished for better structures. Our clothes would have become destroyed or rags for others and replaced by more recent trends; our cars will be on display as historical artifacts by others or recycled for more advanced technology. But for us, we will be, for the most part, never thought about by anyone again.

Think of it, how often do you think about your great grandfather? How often does your great grandmother cross your mind?. You see!

Our presence here on earth today, that presence that we make so much noise about and shed so many tears for, was preceded by countless generations before us and shall be followed by countless generations after us. Every generation that passes through this world barely finds the time to take a glance at the world, before needing to bid it farewell and handing over the baton, having not fulfilled even a fraction of their ambitions.

Our lives are, in reality, far shorter than we imagine.

In 2120, every one of us will realise from within the grave just how worthless this world actually was, and how trivial those dreams were that we centred on.

In 2120, every one of us will be wishing that we had dedicated our lives to great matters of Allah, doing His bid, and devoted ourselves to doing good deeds, particularly those that continue to benefit us after our death.

*In 2120, some reading this piece will be screaming out, but in vain:*

*“Lord return me! Give me another chance, so that I may have another opportunity to live for you ..”*

*The response to this request, however, shall be:*

*“No! and behind them is now a barrier until that Great Day."*


In 2120, many will be in regret, saying:

*“I wish that I had prepared for life after my journey on earth.”*

Let us reappraise ourselves, for surely what happened to those we talk of, heard of and read of will surely happen to us. Let us take advantage of today while it is called *TODAY*.

Tomorrow is not yours until it comes. And keeping our faith in Allah is the *ONLY* way out.

I hereby humbly appeal to everyone who is touched by this message to use this opportunity to share this important message to your contacts as part of your personal preaching.

And live your life on this planet earth wisely, May the Almighty Allah help us

Where will you spend ETERNITY...?


100 years from now, religion will be pushed away from politics. Nations will be more secular.

Even Saudi Arabia has a growing atheist community. Every day, Saudi bows to secular pressure, small by small.


100 years from now, more people would stop believing in heaven or hell. As science grows, religious beliefs dwindle.
