I asked you a relevant question that you totally ducked - please respond - people can buy cheap media that degrades in a few years or the gold kind that last 200 - why aren't they buying the GOLD media? Do you think people do not VALUE thier memories and videos of princess riding her first bicycle? They spend a lot of time in thier life getting to those SPECIAL ONCE IN A LIFETIME MOMENTS so they can record them and much money on cameras and time doing the effort - so why are they not buying the gold media enmasse mr goldbug? that is the ULTIMATE store of VALUE eh - 200 years of thier pathetic life without any degradation - I think many more people have the idea of live for today - and fugg the future - these people dont horde gold or green paper or much else because that is totally in defiance of thier CARPE DIEM attitude - Did jesus say tomorrow may never come at all? Tomorrow if the financial world blows up - guess who still has the most VOTES and therefore POWER on gubbment - not you with your shiny metal mr. gold bug - the la vida loca Bush nephew types. It wont matter where you have your wealth or store of VALUE mr mogambo guru - because they will still suck it away from you through thier representative gubbment and his laws and taxes and his men with guns to enforce such - dont you get that? Did the history lessons of 1930 go over your head? R U NUTZ? You want REAL CHANGE - it aint gonna be hording shiny metal - its gonna be changing the gubbment and the bush nephew slackers that suck your wealth away through entitlements mr ant while they party with the grasshopper and vote in or lobby thieves to steal from you. The founding fathers fled europe - there was no FRIGGIN way they were going to get change - they had to go somewhere else and start a new world so european thugs with swords couldn't force them to give up thier wealth and productivity to appease the slacker masses - but that was then and this is now - where you gonna run to Paul Revere and push reset? That IRS man got a long arm that reaches globally today. Today the rest of the world wanting to flee the USA like the founders fleed europe - they feel we are lethargic leeches sucking them dry and are too oppressive on them - but we got the big guns that europe didn't have. You think you gonna have wealth in GOLD - I think bushs nephew is gonna keep electing people in power that suck you dry so thier la vida loca party continues and no matter WHERE you try to store your VALUE and WEALTH it will be bled so princess can buy a new corian countertop for her new house. Gold is not a good investment and you have swallowed the wall street casino poker chips like a good sucker. They got you thinking in terms of thier phony poker chips (us dollars that are debasing by the nanosecond) and you thinking well one day I can trade my lump of metal for 200K phony poker chips while we lose opportunity to increase medicine and science and fix corruption in gubbment - well friend - I got a bridge to sell you - cause phony poker chips and lumps of metal have little REAL USE in a world with billions of people trading over the net in micropayments - using credit cards, wifi networks, to do business and chase life liberty and happiness - for your gold to ever have any real VALUE to be able to buy a mcdonalds hamburger instead of the credit cards they take now - you are gonna have to kill off about 1 million people all over the globe that run banks, economies, gubbments and then the hundreds of millions of slacker bush nephew types that put them there to SUCK YOU DRY productive citizen - and you arent that slick chuck norris - cause without them dying thier monetary memes will live on no matter how much gold you horde - go read how the fed got started to begin with - and guess what - they got lots of tanks and police men with swat rifles to make sure you comply - if the economy does crash - we will have a reset - the rich will throw the poor into debt slavery and take all thier assets like they have done before - and the currency game will start again as it always has - and silly little you will be digging in his backyard like a fool saying i have shiny metal - you cant do this to me - you cant say my gold isn't worth what I know it is - HAHA! What a sucker! No one ever answers me what mogambo guru is gonna do if 20 swat guys show up waco texas style - you dont want to face that reality. Wake up! OTOH - a nuke could go off - 1 million monetary types could vaporize and thier hundreds of millions of slacker constituent bleeding you dry with laws and taxes - and indeed people will be so shell shocked globally mass chaos and anarcy ensues to the point where gold may have VALUE again - but all the fighting and dying will be so severe at that point - you are gonna be way more busy worrying about this guy: madmaxmovies.com Who will be trying to boink you just for fun and there will be no cops around to protect you from him or rule of law or property rights - that is in essence what you are hoping for by a collapse of world gubbments and GOLD price going to 200K - Mr. Mohawk is trying to swallow your balls and you are gonna worry about some shiny lump of metal!? R U NUTZ? Its obvious I invest to make the world a better place with more internet, science, and knowledge that benefits every human on the planet = my definition of wealth, you invest to accumulate an object you can later exchange for 200K of green pieces of paper - I am sad you still view WEALTH as lots of pieces of paper - how dumb - you have bought their meme programming hook line and sinker - my pet catfish has more sense than you. I am serious telling you that I would much rather you have the skills of a genetic engineer that can extend my life to trade for my skills as a spaceship builder that can fly us around the solar system - than you trade me a shiny lump of metal for some green pieces of paper. Stop thinking like a bat. It aint about the gold dude - it aint about the green paper either - its about CONTROL - Mish gets that - the la vida loca grasshopper gonna keep sucking resources off the worker ant for time eternal - back in the old days he had kings do it for him and swords and soldiers - today he got crony capitalists and lobbied gubbment with swat teams, economic hit men, IRS agents, Fed printing presses and nukular bombs - all you gold bugs - how silly. Dont you understand until you remove the PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS that have debased your purchasing power - it doesnt matter if the currency is sea shells, lumps of metal, or green paper. You show me mr. goldbug how you gonna wipe a few hundred million clean tomorrow from our global memeshare and lets start anew you might have some basis for your silly belief. Gold does not make the gubbment honest, better informed and caring citizens will do that. I am sure there was quite a few people in 1928 that thought gold was good to horde - when the IRS men and military guys with guns came to confiscate it - what did they do? Shout like fools that the gubbment can do that to them - well the gubbment did - raw with no vaseline. images.amazon.com

DJ UPDATE: Protesters Set Fire To Danish Embassy In Beirut Hell all we needed to do is give these guys some shiny metal and they wouldn't have burnt down denmark buildings eh? (Updates with Denmark urging citizens to leave; comments from Lebanese prime minister and anti-Syrian Christian leader) BEIRUT (AP)--Demonstrators protesting caricatures of Islam's prophet set fire Sunday to a building housing the Danish embassy in Beirut. Security forces shot tear gas into the crowd and fired their weapons in the air in a desperate attempt to stop the onslaught. gold wouldn't work, but those military men with tear gas and weapons were employed - why aren't they smart like you and mogambo and know swat military guys are worthless next to shiny metal? Casualties, fires and damage to public property were reported in the violence, which came a day after protesters in neighboring Syria torched the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Damascus. The Danish Foreign Ministry urged Danes to leave Lebanon as soon as possible. It had also advised its citizens to leave Syria the day before. Thousands of protesters took part in the protest against publication of caricatures of Islam's revered prophet in European newspapers. The protest quickly degenerated into violence when groups of Islamic extremists tried to break through the security barrier, prompting troops to fire tear gas and water cannons from fire engines to try to disperse them, said an official. Troops also fired repeatedly in the air to keep the protesters away. Grand Mufti Mohammed Rashid Kabbani denounced the violence, saying there were infiltrators among the protesters who's aim is to "harm the stability of Lebanon." Speaking on Future TV, he appealed for calm and said there were some who were trying to "exploit" the protests to cause trouble and "distort the image of Islam." Security officials said at least 18 people were injured, including policemen, fire fighters and protesters. Witnesses saw at least 10 people taken away by ambulance. The trouble threatened to take a sectarian spin, especially after the protesters began stoning the nearby St. Maroun Church, one of the city's main Maronite Catholic churches, and private property in Ashrafieh, a Christian area near Beirut's commercial district. Muslim clerics on the scene were seen trying to stop the protesters using shields and their hands. The demonstrators also attacked policemen with stones and set fire to several fire engines, witnesses said. Black smoke was seen billowing from the area. They also burned Danish flags. There were also reports of protesters attacking the nearby Foreign Ministry, but the reports could not be immediately confirmed. Charles Rizk, the minister of justice, speaking on LBC television, called on those influential with the protesters to take action to bring the situation to an end. "What is the guilt of the citizens of Ashrafieh of caricatures that were published in Denmark? This sabotage should stop," said Rizk, a Christian. Any tension with sectarian flavor is a sensitive issue in Lebanon, where Muslims and Christian fought a 15-year civil war that ended in 1990. "Those who are committing these acts have nothing to do with Islam or with Lebanon," said Prime Minister Fuad Saniora. "This is absolutely not the way we express our opinions." Saniora suggested that some in Lebanon may have been inspired by what happened in Syria on Saturday. "It is as if they were a lesson to some in Lebanon to do the same," he said to Future TV. Anti-Syrian Christian leader Samir Geagea also said he had information there were some Syrian citizens among the protesters, but that could not be independently confirmed. Some 2,000 army troops and riot police were deployed around the embassy building in the district of Ashrafieh. I dont get it, I keep saying the army men with guns are the real power of CONTROl - but you goldbugs keep telling me GOLD will make people honest and is the best investment - someone is a dumb dork - one guy will have a gun - and one a lump of metal and a few seconds later the guy with the gun will have the lump of gold metal and the previous owner of gold will have a lump of lead metal - in the head that is
