I'm not going to comment on the topic of the linked film, but I will note that not one person responding to SiliconJon has had one word of substantive, on-topic comment. It's just been content-free attacking.

That's bad for discussion.

If his topic is that far off, why not say why using facts and logic, not "so you are a !@#$, huh?" type response?

JD50 shows the usual lack of logic:

Titanic passenger: Iceberg ahead, watch out
JD50: If you think so, better jump into the cold night of the Atlantic ocean now

Dave, Ron Paul is a Libertarian running under the Republican party's name. As you are no doubt aware, he's been the Libertarian Party's nominee in the past.

Edit: to note that the response from HombrePequeno had more substance, I hadn't seen it when I posted.

As usualy, Craig has a stick up his ass..

I was just messing with the guy, lighten up a little bit Francis. When an OP is nothing but gibberish and a link to an hour long video, you should expect to take some shit.

LOL like Craig added any content. Stick firmly and squarely in his ass.

OK OP - how do you suggest we change this evil system without putting the world into such an economic depression that it makes the 1920's like like the "good old days"? Or do you think that reverting to a gold standard wouldn't result in that?

You do realize that a gold standard is just another form of fiat money, limited of course to how much of a shiny metal a country has. Why not have a clam standard? A scheckle standard? A tin foil standard?

All money should be exchanged on the Davo standard :D

Although FIAT is not that small anymore, standing roughly at half the market capitalization of Daimler-Chrysler.

"DUR HUR HUR FIAT THE CAR COMPANY RULES TEH WURLD? U R DUMB!!11 DER HURRRR" *drool*

Just stop caring about this corruption OP, society has proven they are too stupid to smell the bullshit that is shoveled by the people at the top(if they even care at all). It's not worth giving yourself a heart attack over.

The gold standard didn't cause the depression, vile rumors of broke banks, spread by people with something to gain from the FED system, resulting in mass withdrawals caused the great depression.

Simpletons, all of you. FIAT money is worthless.

I do not want to watch a long video. Please tell us what you think. What is wrong with the FED? What monetary structure or system do you the US should use? If the US converts to a gold standard based economy what would happen to money supply?

Couple more post and runs. Remember folks, all these basement dwelling tin-foilers are smarter than Wall Street, economists, the world's banks, etc.

Hey tinfoilers, if you are so brilliant, why don't you just game the system? Since it's obviously heading for collapse - short all the world's currencies, then when everything collapses roll it into gold! The world will be run from the basement of Jon's and Worlocked's Mom's houses!

"Tinfoil hat", "basement dwelling", "moms basement", "colloidal silver drinking", "cone shaped hat".

The ever brilliant counter points and retorts from the dumbed down simpletons. That's the best you are going to get from the slack jawed retards on this forum OP, just stop worrying about things you can't change.

How about these little gems you ignored?

"how do you suggest we change this evil system without putting the world into such an economic depression that it makes the 1920's like like the "good old days"? Or do you think that reverting to a gold standard wouldn't result in that?"

"{Please tell us what you think. What is wrong with the FED? What monetary structure or system do you the US should use? If the US converts to a gold standard based economy what would happen to money supply?"

That doesn't fit into your little self-fulfilling "everyone else are sheep" fantasy does it? Doesn't quite match up with your "post crappy links and videos" methodology does it? Sounds like you're the spoon fed simpleton.

Are you really that stupid Alchemize? Those questions are answered more than sufficiently in the video, I'm not going to reiterate what is already there in a fairly lengthly post because your A.D.D. kicks in 30 seconds into the video.

As for: do you think that reverting to a gold standard wouldn't result in that?

I already answered that in my first post.

GTFO. I'm done feeding you, troll. :|


EDIT: Rofl! "You do realize that a gold standard is just another form of fiat money"

Yeah, arguing with you is going to be real productive. I may as well go post about quantum physics on 4chan... The inevitable "tits or gtfo" will be more intelligent than the drivel you spew.

You do realize the reason nobody is seriously discussing a return to the gold standard in this thread is that it's already been discussed in several other threads. I've already pointed to two other threads that have very similar topics.

So stop being a dickhead and read those. If you have something new to bring up, go ahead.

My God, man, there's almost nothing but worthless piles of shit in this forum. Most of you are completely retarded, lacking any rational thought or logical thinking ability. Argue, debate, discuss? Not here I see. Good luck in life running full throttle with your eyes closed.

The ratio of troll to non-troll posts in this thread is staggeringly high. OP, I suggest you post some of the main points of the video. Its a waste of time to watch a one hour video especially since some people here are already educated on the matter.
