                  Like I'm going to read some wordpress blog. You don't know me at all.

                  And...Oh fuck me. I'd rather clean the back seat of a taxi cab with my tongue than go 20 rounds with the P&R peeps - so you can count me out on that one too.

                  You know what else? The beginning of it, with the guy getting dragged out of his house - you know - cause he did nothing wrong? That's not reality either. People are getting foreclosed on cause they are a bunch of idiots that bought way too much house thinking that they deserve more than they have worked for. Pathetic.

                  have fun

                    True.
                    Let's say all the stuff about the "snake banks" is true. Still, the banks aren't raping you into taking their money. If you buy things that you're unable to cover with your wage, you face the consequences. Are the banks taking advantage of your appetite for TVs, Playstations, cars, dildos etc. Yes, but still you're the one responsible for your economic situation.
                    People always tend to blame it on any damn thing in the world, just so they don't have to acknowledge their own failure.

                    If the dork in the cartoon was a man, he'd admit his fall and start over from nothing. Instead he looks for ways to explain his failure by blaming others.

                    Btw: ask your parents or grandparents what interval they bought new TVs at. I know my parents usually had a higher-end TV for about ten years. My grandma bought a TV in like 1970 (b/w) and decided to upgrade in 1998, had that one till she died. Now people buy new ones every couple years...

                      If your primary concern is that people made bad purchasing decisions after watching that video then your scope is way off.

                      The point is you are being stolen from 8 ways from sunday for every penny you earn. The fed has destroyed 95% of the dollar's purchasing power since it's inception..

                      Things don't just "cost more" money today because it's better or whatever. Commodities are the same now as they were back then. Things cost more simply because the fed has inflated the money supply into invaluable garbage.

                            The one question which I always come back to is "why gold?"

                            Does it really have value? It's interesting to consider the fact that gold is valuable today for very different reasons than when is was originally used by Europeans as a form of money.

                            Just a thought. I don't really have an opinion on the matter.

                              If your still kinda not in the clear about all the details that article is really good, it helped me out. Ill have to read the other one to

                              The video is kinda fast paced for such an important subject. Its really an issue that needs to read about but the video should inspire people to do that.

                              Its things like this and the drug war which make you realize how careless and ignorant the majority of Americans are to whats really going on.

                              But were lucky this country was given such a strong foundation and we still have power to correct this. Everyone now a days says we have no choice anymore and no influence on the direction of this country, which is bullshit. We absolutely do, but these bankers are extremely powerful and they have made us think that America is to far gone and they have to much control. Get off your ass and vote, rally, write your senators and representatives and try to once again make this the greatest country to have existed.

                                Natural resources will always carry value no matter what, because they are limited by actual supply and do not go away.

                                The demand for a natural resource only diminishes when it's usefulness goes away.

                                Gold is extremely useful, extremely rare, and extremely durable.
