kawi kid Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Prolly GWB... :nono:Probably. But Obama has printed way more than that to make up for what George lost on that plane I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Prolly GWB... :nono:Indeed it was. Fledgling governments accept cash...and cash. Very easy for some corrupt elements (of which there are a fuck-ton of in the ME political scene) to come in and take what they wanted. Couple that with a fluid socio-military environment of not knowing who controls what when, and what is intact, what's being rebuilt, and what got blowed up last night, and the theft just got a whole lot easier.

RFM Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Maybe if we write a polite letter to China saying we don't know where we put their money, they might let it slide a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheech Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 gold has intrinsic value. people like it because its shiny.I recall seeing a piece somewhere that had pretty good evidence that if we had to do it all over again as a civilization, we would still gravitate to gold as a metal of value over anything else. Between the fact that it's not radioactive, can be worked and shaped with rudimentary tools, can/could be found without too much effort, and that we have a predisposition for shiny things, every time it comes back to gold.
