Cash for Gold....Is this the modern day gold seizure?

[symbiote420]

Well is it?!! I mean, you just can't pull that kind of wool over on the people now with a seizure, so I guess they create a condition where people will give up there most valuable possession for paper! What do you think?

I thought the same thing years ago when I was finally cognitive of what these scams were. They pray on older folks for sure, and the evangelical heavily......kinda sad, taking advantage of the old and mentally retarded like that. But hey you cant protect all the "sheeple" and little fish in the world. If they outlawed this kind of business youd have people freaking out all over the place screaming socialism or communism or whatever else they normally yell, remember that supporting any rules laws or regulations makes YOU one of THEM. Personally If you had the cash its a great line of work to get into, pawn shops have been doing it forever.

I am going to have a gun buyback program when I have money.
Like where you have an ad in the local paper, a couple signs, a card table, a box, and a stack of fifties. I bet it would be awesome!

LOL! Most major citys are already doing that, but they only take registered guns now? How odd huh. Take guns away from people who bought them legally waited for a week before getting it because of a background check, permanently marking yourself for law enforcement, and most likely it was bought for protection. I hit up every gun show I can and buy however many I can with what I got in my pocket, prices have shot threw the roof though. Crap guns for huge prices......but there is still some gems too find, just gotta run fast when they open the doors, lol.

Never occurred to me, but if it were true, then wouldn't it become more difficult to buy 22K & 24K jewelry? That's what I do, get the best deal based on weight, kinda old world-stylee.

 

[Dirty White Boy]

Did yall know there still pulling that stuff out of the ground? No shit I was watching this show gold rush, then this other one where they got it out of the ocean, and then even another one that was basically a knock off of gold rush, and then ALL BE DAMNED if there not putting out another show about diamonds..........now if that aint brainwashing on some level then I dont know what is.....


I cant eat gold, I cant dress myself with gold, I cant grow plants with gold unless I made a pot out of it or watering can, and when its gone its gone unless im a miner. Ill let the only physical gold I own stay in the form of a clit piercing for my wife, best use for gold other than electronics ive found to date.

Im gunna go start growing spices because if history has taught me anything its that spices have been worth WAYYYYYY more than gold or diamonds for 1000's of years right up till modern times, and even then.........I can think of a couple spices and HERBS that went for more or right about the same price right up till the last 10 years........remember when weed was 5 bux a lid.....then it went to 25$ a gram, now its back down to 1000$ a pound.........nothing makes me think that gold isnt the same, inflation inflation inflation POP!!!!!

Most pawn shops sell there gold by weight, its the diamonds that jack up price. Style has NOTHING to do with it. Now that I think about it poor people have never stopped using the gold standard. weird.

I thought in 1913 when they created that abomination they call the Federal Reserve, this country was to never see a depression? Well there sure seems to be one every 20 to 30 years since it's inception! Hmmmmm?

 

[Seamaiden]

There were depressions prior to the existence of the federal reserve.

Just sayin'.

I swear that strain is running everything behind our backs.

That's what I'm saying Sea! The FR was created to prevent them from happening like back then but in the 30s, 60s, 80s, and present times...there's probably been more don't quote me on that, but sheesh! if it's not working wtf?

 

[Fools Gold]

kinda scary

all real wealth is being consolidated, this is one piece of the puzzle

Half the reason they got ride of the gold standard was countrys would take american dollars for payment from other countrys, Then come to us and demand gold for the papper they had, They would have drained fort knox if we didnt get rid of the gold standard.
Gold and silver have been the best investment you can make, And i always look at from the point of view that the price of gold and silver are not going up. The papper money you have is going down in value, so dont sit on papper.
As far as cash for gold being used to sieze gold is not true, all that gold goes to refiners who melt it down and reslae it back to the public, If anything the goverment releases gold and silver threw coins like american gold eagles. More people or opening there eyes to the value of gold, and im willing to bet that the amount of gold held by the public is increasing everyday, not going down.

This might sound weird but some people thrive during recessions, Id call it a redistribution of wealth. At the end of every recession there has been a massive push to Independence and self reliance, and ultimately entrepreneurs. If you look at when some of the largest corporations were started and formed most happened during or at the end of recessions and dips in our economy for a couple reasons, one our govt. hands out subsidy's and tax breaks and also because recession is like a forest fire to the free market. It really opens the playing field, and although we would like to think that there is one room full of rich guys smoking cohibas drinking black label scotch deciding it all its not, really its an ever turning evolving and morphing idea, that changes from generation to generation.

Let me lay something down we all think of George W. as the devil, as the literal definition for conservative evil, but to his family his own father and even Prescott george is a liberal dumbass, hes gunna be one of the biggest thorns in the conservative messege in the next couple months.....its true its true.

What worked today prolly wont work a year from now, same thing with your clothes, It might be a super flashy awesome neon green pink yellow shirt you loved in the 80's but today its some wierd ass thing you cant believe you even wore, now put it in the closet wait another 10 years and BOOOM every candy kid on the block wants that shirt.......same Idea with a free market economy it cant grow endlessly, at some point it has to reset.

Thomas Jefferson said that we should rewrite and ammend our constitution every 20 years and that we should have a revolution every 20 years......in hindsight thats exactly what we have......

In time if we dont blow ourselves up all these far right and far left crazy ideas will meld together just like they have every other time in our short history.

If our country is so messed up why even now do other countrys change over too systems just like ours?

Just my 2 cents.....
