Gold is just a stupid, shiny, yellow rock | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18887277 United States 01/28/2013 05:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Right... because when we strip those minerals they NEVER get sent back into the earth... they're all magicked into space! And the Earth loses it's precious yellow rocks forever... stuff doesn't get turned back into ground and anything else through natural life cycles. That's why we still have TONS of old Babylonian... oh wait... Please collect your brain from the coat check before typing... |

Did I say the gold went anywhere? No, I'm just saying now it has to get back in the ground, where if humans didn't change, they'd still be taking it right back out again, in time it'd look like that gold could never be a chicken fetus. Look, you just can't argue with my logic. That'd be like saying the sky is purple. |

Gold is just another mineral, doing it's job on planet earth to assist the plants and animals. You must realize that earth has an incinerator, and it is every little crystal's dream to become molten so that one day it can be pushed up to become land, where soil will be formed and hopefully one day the soil will become animated! So you see, when you strip gold from the earth (among other minerals) you're robbing those molecules of their dreams to one day be a baby bird. Quoting: Dr. Greenthumb For one it's a metal or more accurately a mineral. It is by no means a rock. Ban guns to "save the children" but killing them in the womb is totally cool......I see; it makes perfect sense now. |

PatrikC325 User ID: 1166101 United States 01/28/2013 05:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gold has a bright yellow color and luster traditionally considered attractive, which it maintains without oxidizing in air or water. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements solid under standard conditions. The metal therefore occurs often in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains in rocks, in veins and in alluvial deposits. Less commonly, it occurs in minerals as gold compounds, usually with tellurium. Gold resists attacks by individual acids, but it can be dissolved by the aqua regia (nitro-hydrochloric acid), so named because it dissolves gold. Gold also dissolves in alkaline solutions of cyanide, which have been used in mining. Gold dissolves in mercury, forming amalgam alloys. Gold is insoluble in nitric acid, which dissolves silver and base metals, a property that has long been used to confirm the presence of gold in items, giving rise to the term the acid test.

But no, I chose gold, because even though diamond is "worth more" we don't worship it as much. Now why would you want to worship gold? Sure, it's shiny, but so is morning dew, and last time I checked we were putting a lot more effort into gold mining than clean water distribution. I believe at the same time we we're trying to figure out how we could MAKE gold, we were also making water contaminated with toxic poison. Lovely. Now you see the point of this, and all my threads, are to get you to look at the human condition from god's pov. |

natruel User ID: 22948885 United States 01/28/2013 06:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | True. Remember, people aren't born idolizing and worshipping gold; they are conditioned by their relative society (do you think the African miners that dig gold value it in the same ways a westerner would?). With that said, the root of this affliction for gold can not be blamed solely on the individual, as they have no choice but to be exposed to shallow materialism. Gold is an ornament, but it is a perversion putting gold above life. That is the entire point. To perverse the created in stature to the creator. People will realize this when they can't eat it... |

What that electronics book didn't tell us is that gold is one of the best electric conductors because it does not corrode. I theorize they have either taken it off planet or are using it for deep underground bases where moisture is a problem. |

It is Hypnotic...A yellow metal that gets its value from your energy. A worthless symbol that depicts and promotes scarcity in a world of abundance. It has no value without your suffering if you are playing on the wrong side of its standard. |

Chris12138 User ID: 33218228 United States 02/08/2013 03:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Gold is not just a yellow rock. It is a fantastic non-corroding conductor, is used for medicinal purposes, dental purposes and it reflects electromagnetic radiation. It's also an ideal currency because it possesses all the monetary properties that the market demands: it is divisible, portable, recognizable and, most importantly, scarce - making it a stable store of value. I also fail to see what you getting at about gold being fucking baby birds or something.You wouldn't even be able to type out stupid drivel like that without the power of gold that is most likely sitting inside YOUR computing device. Please stop wasting organic matter by continuing to live so we can enjoy more baby birds! In short, get off the bong hippy. Last Edited by Gator! on 02/08/2013 03:25 PM |
