What do you call it?

[Right Divider]

No I am not.
I am talking about what value' has been placed on them.

I'm not talking about jewelry.

I don't.

Ok

Sure I do. It is because someone decided it could be used that way collectively, and not because it had a great use within itself, as a beaver pelt would.

Gold and silver have many uses besides jewelry.

Right.
A value can be placed on any object.
And the value of any object can change.

But some objects make good money and most don't.

Saying "not funny" is not hysterical.


I know all about it. Are you really thinking that I'm a Bible illiterate?


My comments had nothing to do with conspiracies. The "funny money" system is right in our faces, so it's no secret.

I kind of think, YOU and 'Chicken Little' might just have something in common.

Hey Tam, it looks like he's already made his mind up and there's NO comprising so far as his 'theories' are concerned.

Most average people can't afford to buy Gold anyway. Back in the 1970s I got a hankering to by a few ounces of Gold, so I called around to see how much it cost to buy a couple or so of, Krugerrands, It was $250.00 dollars an ounce back then, however, the guy on the phone told me to wait a while because the price was gonna go down. I listened to him and didn't purchase any. Within a short period of time, Gold went up to over $900.00 an ounce. A guy where I worked at the time, encouraged me to buy Silver (It was about five or six dollars an ounce then) I didn't and within about a matter of months to a year or so, it went up to around $60.00 an ounce. Gold is going for, just under $1,400.00 dollars an ounce today, Silver is at about $16.00 an ounce.

At this point in my life I have no interest in either of those 'Precious Metals.' Like Tambora said; "We don't use Gold or Silver for purchasing anything." Those 'Metals,' according to average citizens are ONLY used for Jewelry and other decorative and investment reasons. You can buy Gold and Silver, hide it under your bed or buried next to a tree in the garden, if you so desire, however, you'll most likely NEVER use it to purchase fast-food or fill your tank with gas. Paper money is here to stay for now. In the near future they MAY go to some form of CARD to replace paper money, but, for now, we're all relying on paper currency, get used to it until times change. Either that, or go Bankrupt purchasing Gold.

I say to stock up on food and toilet paper....people will always need those.

I have no idea where you get those ideas. Perhaps you're thinking of someone else.

Let's play a game!

What do you call it from a legal standpoint?


What do you call a person that takes possession of your lawnmower (that you bought and paid for yourself for your own needs) without your permission simply because that person saw a need for something you had --- a lawnmower to mow his yard?
In other words, he saw something that you owned as something he needed, so he took it.

Well then, show him what's what and allow to him borrow your mower next time.

Better yet, when his grass gets tall again....mow it for him.


That'll teach 'em!

So, is it selfish to work and save to buy a lawnmower for your own yard and not for other yards in the community?

It's selfish to think you have the right to use my lawnmower.

I'll trade you my lawnmower for two young goats, male and female.

I'll do that. Those darn goats eat my garden (and everything else they see).

Not at all, simply don't feed the negative energy with more negativity; be gracious instead of provincial, it'll solve the theft issue.

What is this; "Negative/Positive Energy" you speak of? Is it merely 'abstractual, philosophical, or something on some sort of spiritual plane? Please explain yourself in such a way that we 'Laymen' can fully understand and learn to appreciate?

I'll up your two goats and raise you three rather emaciated Llamas with hunger issues and an anteater with an attitude.

How about I pick, none of the above and call it a day?
