That's the way the global market works, and if governments distort the market with Carbon Trading ... But you are thinking of a planned economy, perhaps? Planned by whom?

I was planning on keep this going, but after reading your "Africa has enough gold" and not understanding that the gold there is not from the US, I lost all hopes with you. Good luck with your theories I want to die like my grandfather- asleep, not like the passengers in his car, screaming!

No,. I didnt lok at them, I didnt have time. However, ahything you, or anyone else writers, will not destroy 60 years of thermometer temperature data that shows cooling. I know you and many others would like to, since it displays quite clearly that GH gas warmign si not taking place, but you cant. And no amount of crooked science, like using wind asa proxy for temp in the troposphere, will do so. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Yeah, Christian made a post announcing it was possible. Apparently it didn't take very long after that. L u n a t i c F r i n g e

I'm surprised you didn't call him out on the stupidly inane comment "value of a nickle and a dime is worth twice that." Come on CG, he threw the definition of a dime out there as if somehow being made of silver made it amazing that it was twice the value of a nickle.

I toddled along, just out of interest, One Member, 4 posts(all by CSS), no replies. Isn't he kind to piss off like that. ------------------------------------ I will never again mention that I was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel. Dalek Dave

AGW has become politicized, yes. Consequently, sheeple like you bleat 'fraud' without understanding the first thing about the subject. There are data showing that AGW may be happening. There are data showing that AGW may not be happening. There much for climate scientists to understand before policy can be based on their pronouncements.

Diamonds used to be fairly rare until the mines in South Africa. Then de Beers controlled the supply for about a century and had a very good ad agency. Now the Russians control the supply and have kept the price high during the slump by not releasing a single stone for the last couple of years. Gold actually has a number of industrial uses as does silver. You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

I was beginning to wonder when this stopped being the Backroom and became "The CSS Show".

Indeed it is. The south-eastern edge, I believe. The place I worked at owned a dock on the Embankment where we could eat lunch. Great in the summer (and, before you ask, closed in poor weather).

Good day Richard, Haven't seen you around much lately (or perhaps it's me that doesn't visit the SB/BR as often), how are you doing? Cheers, Vikram. (Got my troika of CCCs!)

I read a book on the weekend called 'why people believe weird things'. I thought of you, often. Christian Graus Driven to the arms of OSX by Vista. Read my blog to find out how I've worked around bugs in Microsoft tools and frameworks.

Ragnaroknrol, are you are saying I have to take idealized dictatorial communism and compare it to real world democratic free market? If anyone points out the failures of communism, in the real world, you should be able to explain why no one else could translate it into reality, previously, but that NOW, since we have the Kindle, communism will work because... Show me where there IS idealized free market, and then compare that to idealized communism. No idealized free market exists, as there is no instantaneous flow of information through the market. Workers don't know where they can get a better job. Buyers don't know where to get lower cost resources. Real world communism, in the 20th century, just in China and Russia, killed more than 75 million people. I'm sorry, it killed more than 75 million (iconoclastic communist workers standing valiantly against the threat of democratic and capitalistic forces) internal to the countries involved. It does not count: The Cambodian killing fields, which kick Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the head. The Korean war, clear communist aggression Cuba's treatment of it's own people (or do you believe they get the best health care in the world?) All the other revolutions they started Latin America, Africa, Asia All the Eastern European deaths, including the defecting communist who slowly bled out over 6 hours, hanging on the barbed wire between east and west Berlin. Real world communism accounted for 0 deaths prior to 1900. ragnaroknrol wrote: No, Stalin was a dicator and a tyrant, you moron. His purges had nothing to do with actual Communism and everything to do with him being in power and being one of the most evil human beings to ever exist. It's funny how that works,you know? Give anyone a country they can call communist and they end up with a dictatorship. Well, at least in practice. Have you got a theory to explain that? Do you know why communism turns people into dictators and tyrants? Opacity, the new Transparency.
