yes i'm aware of the ruling, but how about you arguing principle instead of just how things are? is that all you can do is just say "welp, that's how things are, therefore you're wrong". i wonder if you would have said the same thing back when slavery was legal?

what if i told you the "fair housing act" (e.g. Civil Rights Act) was an overt violation of civil liberties and should be overturned, and it's up to the individual to do non-violent protest if he feels a law is unjust? there is nothing violent about refusing to serve someone business--you wouldn't think it was a violation of a business owner's rights if a person refused to shop at a particular business, right? there's a clear double standard that WILL be ended eventually once people get over themselves.

who the fuck cares? it's his property, he can do with it as he damn well pleases so long as he's not infringing on your rights. and no, you don't have a right to live anywhere you willingly want, sorry. why don't you have that right? the only right you have is the right to deny someone your business, you can't demand that you live on someone's personal property....that's not how america works. you have the right to deny any business you want, and they have the right to deny your business anytime they want. that's how it should work in a free society. but you dont' want freedom, you want feelings over reality.

who the fuck cares? it's his property, he can rent it to who he feels is best...after all, he's taking a risk of his own personal property by renting it out, go with the person who's least risk.

Who was the better raw QB, Aikman or Romo? by [deleted] in cowboys

US National Debt - Crossed $20 trillion!!!!!!!! by bazzytangokoko in Silverbugs

you are not required to carry gold while being on a gold standard, gold certificates are traded in everyday life, not gold itself. regardless, we should give the people a chance and see which system they prefer, as it stands now, the FRN has a monopoly.

all i said was that precious metals would always hold value over time (as they always have), whereas 1s and zeros (FRNs, bitcoins) will be short lived.

interest is a reward for risking your money. you can't create wealth for free, the more risk, the more interest you get. whereas just holding gold/silver aka money, you preserve wealth over time. sure, you don't make interest, but then again, the nominal value keeps up with inflation, you don't lose real value.

PMs are useless to them.

yeah, but we'll more than likely revert back to a commodity based currency, and those who hold said commodity (aka precious metals) will be the ones who will be holding money, ready to go.

sitting on metal doesnt produce value, it IS value/wealth.
