what a numpty!

I will eat my own cock.

well zero is a real number, so yes I'll give you that.

it's already done more than that just in this decade so far...

you tell your missus you have gold? I've buried mine where the divorce lawyers will never find it!

correct. they have already printed enough money to guarantee hyper-inflation and we are simply too far down the laffer curve for any tax rate increases to remove the money from circulation. as you say, it's just a case of when is becomes apparent to J6P. J6P will be watching helplessly from the sidelines as a handful of oligarchs buy up all the assets with freshly printed money.

aye, seigniorage-gain and bracket-creep. theiving b******!

possibly not much higher. there's only so many repossessions they can enforce with 80,000 police.

sweet peas had a really good yield. will definately grow more of them in future. it's amazing how much better they taste than the ones from the shops. to be honest, I never actually realised that I liked pease 'till I grew them myself! turns out spinach (although not really food ) has a good yield and is particulary useful if you want to grow a leafy salad type crop in an area which is too shady for lettuce. I mentioned sweetcorn before. not a bad yield considering we don't really have the climate for it. haven't started harvest these yet. carrots were good, although they grew in weird crooked shapes because the soil was too hard to grow straight down (I must have not dug over that bit well enough). spuds are/were as reliable as ever. my tomatoes are shite also . this is the 2nd year running they've been shit. I won't bother with tomotoes next year. I've got a few other things but those are the main crops. am moving from West London to West Oxfordshire next month, so I will have LOTS more space next year.

any luck? all mine have either 2 or 3 cobs this year; I'd say about 2.75 on average.

Yay! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/persona...-in-demand.html so that's why the price of lead's gone up!

anything the gov't doesn't know you have is exempt from tax.

loading up on fixed-rate debt to buy PMs? switching from gold to silver or vice versa?

where the f*** have you been lately?

it's really not a good idea to store your wealth in a large, illiquid, highly visible, immobile asset when the state is going on the rampage. http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/114851...cing-a-tax-rise most people simply cannot comprehend how worthless houses will be by the time the state has finished playing with the market.

yeah - it's never fallen so much before:

the blue and red bit is Ayn Rand. Rand has lot's of great quotes. here's another: edit: maybe you should start a quotes thread for one or two sentence quotes that manage to hit the nail on the head?

enslavement would be having to work for nothing. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. if central bankers do the red part; some other unfortunate individual(s) has to do the blue.

well, why would a small group of people ("central bankers") want to impose a currency on everyone else?

well of course the state has to be strong if it is able to impose a monetary standard (gold or otherwise) on an entire population. bit like now then. what else would you expect from a state-imposed currency?

agreed. if other people want to d1ck about with FRB then that's fine by me - so long as they don't expect me to bail them out when it inevitably collapses.

it is. no-one would deposit anything in a bank knowing that the receipt they received was going to be instantly devalued by fractional reserving unless the interest on the receipt made up for the devaluation - meaning there'd be no point. fractionallly reserving deposits only works if the depositor doesn't understand the system.
