*** March 2012 low content thread ***

Check out this unbelievably mean-spirited article on Mencken. It’s just interesting how they hit him in vulnerable spots.

Says it was written in 1987, but it’s a bit funny that someone’s going to publish his love letters (and at the same time sort of an asshole move.)

HOT: Gold Bar Discovered Filled with Tungsten

[…] After numerous reports of 400oz tungsten filled bars being discovered in Hong Kong, this is the first documented and verified report with photographic evidence that has been made public, states Silver Doctors. ABC Bullion is a major player in the gold bar business and thus this report should be taken seriously.

Here’s the reports from ABC: […]

Does anyone on this forum have a way to communicate to Tom Woods? I would love to see him demolish this portion of Bernanke’s lecture, piece-by-piece.

He gets messages at his website, but he’s pretty busy. Just a week or so ago he was actually asking if anyone else had time to debunk some stuff like this.

Just take a look at the first reply to this thread. Yeah…

Reads like sarcasm to me.

It’s not. He really believes that. I know it may seem like parody, but he truly does believe “more government = more freedom”. Just take a look at some of the other posts in there. He loves state-run healthcare. I’m pretty sure he’s not joking, either, when he says these things. I’m familiar enough with him to be quite sure of that.

He’s consistently like this…

In response to someone asking him, “OK then, how about you give almost all your money to a poor African family RIGHT NOW? They’re a lot worse off than you are and you could definitely survive with a lot less”, he says “I’d love to, but guess what; you’re using an example in a capitalistic setting. I would donate to the poor in Africa, if my: Health care, rent, car, gas, entertainment, food, laundry and every other luxury was free to me. So would I give what little money I make to the poor in Africa? You bet I would.”

Taking the moral high ground while saying “Well, if my entertainment was free, I’d donate!”…He’s the kind of guy who would say “But you’d leave people for dead!” without realizing that any resources he uses (time and money) for anything other than what is absolutely necessary to survive would mean “leaving people for dead”.

The above and the last post were just from today. Yes, these people do exist.
