    How hard is it to grasp that the coin just needs to be made of platinum and say it is worth a trillion dollars while it doesn't need to be made of a trillion dollars worth of platinum. How would that even work considering the price of platinum constantly changes?

    It's exactly as hard as grasping the fact that they need to just raise the debt ceiling and try their idiot austerity in a real bill.

    I do too actually. I miss him when he's gone. That thread is non-the-less an extremely clear example of the difficulty one can have communicating with him.

    Assuming it needs to contain $1t worth of platinum makes perfect sense to the gold standard crowd; it's how they want the world to work, and modern TV news exists to reassure people that the world works the way they think it does.

    So a trillion in platinum is equal in size to a ballistic missile sub.

    If we took all that platinum, and actually made a ballistic missile sub out of it, the GOP would be all for it.

    I've given up on that thread. We're (J and I) clearly talking past each other.

    Pretty much the basic premise of the discussion is just implausible. I think AMFE and I both spelled it out on page one that you just can't remove emotions from the decision. And if that is the case then its time to start dealing with how you feel about the situation and balance that with whatever spreadsheets you think are relevant.

    I do like hearing other folks reasons for why or why not they wanted to have them. Its definitely food for thought in my own internal debate.

    They started talking on Xmas-eve
    She sent him money for the plane ticket then bought another ticket and told him to keep the cheque she sent him.
    They are not using condom because "things are taken care of"
    They are both pretty much dead set on each other being the one.

    He is flying over 1000 miles to meet a stranger he's known for two weeks yet is madly in love and plans to use no condoms

    And he's flying there based on this stranger's money. Plus three grand that he gets to keep.

    There is such a tiny chance that this is on the level.

    I am killing everything.

    there are simply too many ways.

    I think my favourite might be one of the simple ones

    use sleep darts to knock people out

    then leave them for the rats to devour

    My favorite "kill" so far in the game was me trying to sneak around (badly) in the area of this wall of light because I was trying to disable it and get through the gate.

    I get noticed, hard. Three guards charge straight at me and I start to backpeddle figuring out what I am going to do.

    The lead guard swings his sword, hits a pile of whale oil containers, and obliterates himself and both his friends.

    I think the joke in the comic is that he gets there and she has a penis and engages him in intercourse using that previously undiscovered penis without the application of a condom.


    Maybe.

    My first attempt at being in a guild in an MMO was in CoH. There was a flirtatious girl in our guild who often made comments that she would have no problem having "gentlemen callers" if they were willing to travel. At least two guys in the guild made the trip. One of them was cross country.

    I think it just goes to show what some desperate fellows will do for a chance to run some trim.

    INDVFREEDOMLIBERAL says:Yep minted out of "black Platinum" with Obama's face on it....
    TSIGILI says:The Obama smoke and mirrors won't change a thing. We are deeply in debt, we are doing NOTHING about that debt, and we are spiraling downward, out of control.

    Obama is a spendthrift, incapable of managing money. You voted for him, and he is going to destroy the country. You get what you asked for. Self-destruction.
