    I would have thought being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually thrown in an oven would be considered a bigger threat. I don't know who Doug Casey is, but he sounds like a complete idiot.

    Two reasons why YOU'RE a complete idiot:

    1. There is exactly ZERO realistic likelihood that anyone is in danger of 'being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually thrown in an oven' today.

    2. Someone can agree or disagree with Doug Casey but only a complete idiot would not know who he is.

    Trying your usual tactic of moving the goalposts after you are slapped silly? LOL Your complaint was that "There is exactly ZERO realistic likelihood that anyone is in danger of 'being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually thrown
    in an oven' today." That was because you can't read at a third grade level and didn't comprehend that the idiot's comment applied to "world history." Try harder.

    But yes, I do think genocide can happen to "average human beings," and I think the vast majority of Holocaust victims could be classified as "average human beings." Any average human being can be a target of genocide once they are deemed by aggressors
    to be associated with the targeted group du jour. Look what happened to millions of average African-Americans once their "racial group" was targeted for genocide by white America.

    Why don't I know who Doug Casey is? Why would I? I may have run across his name at some point but I don't make a point of paying attention to conspiracy theorists, doomsayers, and people who say stupid things like that. The "average person's" freedom
    will not be impacted in any way, shape of form by a central bank digital currency. What is Paul afraid of? That the government will find out he grossly overpaid for eggs at his local convenience store? I am sure they already know he's a fool.

    It's ironic that world's biggest quotation mark abuser didn't know enough to put "Doug Casey" in quotation marks to drastically narrow the results. I listened to about 30 seconds of an interview with him on youtube, and one of the first things he said is
    that the average person's standard of living has been declining since 1914. That's when I chuckled, shook my head, and shut the moron off.

    If you search hard enough and blab, you can find "evidence" ... but Doug
    Casey is a fan of Ayn Rand and we know what a crackpot she was.

    Read some of his books (and hers) and see if you can find something more
    to blab about.

    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I tried to read 'Atlas Shrugged' and couldn't get through the first chapter. Revoltingly wooden and unrealistic characters. Anyone below the heavenly social level of born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-her-mouth
    Dagny Taggart was portrayed as a lazy dolt in comparison to her insightful, incisive, get-the-job-done presence. Ayn Rand, quite clearly, had a worshipful attitude toward aristocracy and made it her business to be their mythologist.

    The only other book I recall that I couldn't read past the first chapter or two was 'Mein Kampf'. Hitler was a self-worshipful anus. His personality reminds me of someone here at RGP.

    That's exactly true. Why else change it to "climate change"? Why not leave it at "global warming"? Why change the definition of "inflation"? Because you guys are fucking scammers, that's why.
    No, it's not "exactly true." It is "exactly the opposite of true." What is "exactly true" is that there is irrefutable evidence that "there is warming going on." It's a measurable fact that has been peer reviewed and endorsed by every major scientific
    organization in the world.

    U.S GDP grew at a faster pace from 1920 - 1929 than at any time in its previous history. Are you familiar enough with world economic history to know what happened in 1929? I know Paul is.

    You say a lot of things that make it difficult to believe you have the college education you so often claim. Paul has only an 8th-grade education yet he displays are far greater familiarity with economic concepts and economic history than you do.

    Which has literally NOTHING to do with with this jackass predicting imminent economic collapse for the last 45 years, just to sell books to the terminally gullible.

    You say a lot of things that make it difficult to believe you have the college education you so often claim.

    You mean it makes it difficult for YOU to believe it, but only because you are as dumb as a post, as I have exposed time and time and time again. No intelligent person would find it difficult to believe I have a university education.

    Paul has only an 8th-grade education

    And it very much shows. But don't sell him short...unlike you, he at least managed to get his GED.

    yet he displays are far greater familiarity with economic concepts and economic history than you do.

    LOLOL... says the guy who tried convince everyone that 6.3% inflation is "hyperinflation." You are RGP's town clown. Neither of you know the very first thing about economics, as I have exposed time and time and time again.

    I already showed you the irrefutable proof in the form of his own words, and he even came along afterwards and doubled down on his hyperstupidity.

    You said 'Your boy is a moron. I also discovered that he has been predicting imminent economic collapse for at least 45 years, a period during which real GDP has almost quadrupled. lol You sure can pick 'em. '

    That comment displays a profound ignorance of rudimentary economic history. There is no bylaw at RGP which requires me to let that pass in silence. Rather than take it as a learning moment you, instead, indulge in a pants-shitting spastic attack in the
    middle of the newsgroup. Wouldn't it behoove your own online image to limit yourself to discussing topics with which you have at least a rudimentary familiarity?

    And if you have a psyche-destroying personal problem with the dictionary correct definitions of 'hyperinflation' that I provided you don't you think it would be more sensible to take that up with the dictionary publishers rather than me?

    I'm trying to help you. The sooner you realize it, the better.

    Objectivism
    1. reality exists independently of consciousness
    2. the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness 3. the only social system consistent with this morality is one that displays full respect for individual rights embodied in laissez-faire capitalism


    1. scientifically questionable
    2. & 3. mythology in service to aristocracy

    It's ironic that world's biggest quotation mark abuser didn't know enough to put "Doug Casey" in quotation marks to drastically narrow the results. I listened to about 30 seconds of an interview with him on youtube, and one of the first things he
    said is that the average person's standard of living has been declining since 1914. That's when I chuckled, shook my head, and shut the moron off.


    ~ If you search hard enough and blab, you can find "evidence" ... but Doug
    Casey is a fan of Ayn Rand and we know what a crackpot she was.

    Read some of his books (and hers) and see if you can find something more
    to blab about.


    I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I tried to read 'Atlas Shrugged' and couldn't get through the first chapter. Revoltingly wooden and unrealistic characters. Anyone below the heavenly social level of born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-her-
    mouth Dagny Taggart was portrayed as a lazy dolt in comparison to her insightful, incisive, get-the-job-done presence. Ayn Rand, quite clearly, had a worshipful attitude toward aristocracy and made it her business to be their mythologist.

    The only other book I recall that I couldn't read past the first chapter or two was 'Mein Kampf'. Hitler was a self-worshipful anus. His personality reminds me of someone here at RGP.

    Two reasons why YOU'RE a complete idiot:

    1. There is exactly ZERO realistic likelihood that anyone is in danger of 'being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually thrown in an oven' today.

    2. Someone can agree or disagree with Doug Casey but only a complete idiot would not know who he is.
    ~ What part of "perhaps in world history" did you not understand?


    What part of "average human being" did you not understand?

    And why are you so ignorant that you aren't familiar with the name Doug Casey?
    Trying your usual tactic of moving the goalposts after you are slapped silly? LOL Your complaint was that "There is exactly ZERO realistic likelihood that anyone is in danger of 'being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually
    thrown in an oven' today." That was because you can't read at a third grade level and didn't comprehend that the idiot's comment applied to "world history." Try harder.

    But yes, I do think genocide can happen to "average human beings," and I think the vast majority of Holocaust victims could be classified as "average human beings." Any average human being can be a target of genocide once they are deemed by aggressors
    to be associated with the targeted group du jour. Look what happened to millions of average African-Americans once their "racial group" was targeted for genocide by white America.

    Why don't I know who Doug Casey is? Why would I? I may have run across his name at some point but I don't make a point of paying attention to conspiracy theorists, doomsayers, and people who say stupid things like that. The "average person's" freedom
    will not be impacted in any way, shape of form by a central bank digital currency. What is Paul afraid of? That the government will find out he grossly overpaid for eggs at his local convenience store? I am sure they already know he's a fool.

    By claiming someone is "moving the goal posts", aren't all you really doing is trying to pigeonhole them into a singular tiny corner of an argument that matters not just for the sole purpose of massaging your ego rather than to discuss the greater truth?

    I am happy to discuss any "greater truth" you want, but I have no idea what you are talking about. You'll have to refresh my memory. This Doug Casey guy said that central bank currencies pose the greatest threat to freedom in *human history* and I used
    the Holocaust as but one extreme example to expose his absurdity of his hyperbole. Then my puppy riskytard came along and tried to counter that by saying nobody TODAY is at risk of genocide by Nazis, ignoring that the claim I was refuting was about "
    human history". That is what I called moving the goalposts. What the hell does that have to do with "massaging my ego?" You lost me.

    You mean like when Canada bankrupted anyone who supported a truck protest and put some of them in jail for merely protesting?

    Nobody that I am aware of was bankrupted or put in jail for "merely protesting". That is entirely legal and in fact constitutionally protected in Canada. The courts wouldn't put up with that for a nanosecond.


    Heck, I even remember your moron Trudeau threatening americans with civil forfeiture should we donate to the trucker protests. That's about as nazi as you can get...

    Civil forfeiture of what? The money they sent? Once the so-called protests were declared unlawful by the courts for blocking public roads and borders for an extended period of time, and an injunction against that conduct was issued by a superior court,
    of course the government would have the right to block funding of a continuing criminal contempt of court, especially when the violation was costing the Canadian economy billions of dollars in trade. Nobody has the right to fund criminal conduct. That's
    just common sense. It has absolutely nothing to do with "Naziism". That is just silly hyperbole on your part. No government in any free country would tolerate a blockage of the major trade routes and borders or an occupation of their capital city, and

    and seeing as how so many ukrainians are in Canada and Canada is supporting the nazi regime in Ukraine, I guess we can safely see who is the nazi in this >group. Fucking Canadians, there oughta be a law.

    The Ukrainian governments are "Nazis?" News to me. I think that is just more silly hyperbole on your part. Pretty much the entire free world denounces the invasion of Ukraine, and the NATO countries in particular are doing everything they think they
    reasonably can to push Russia back where they belong. You actually support what Putin is doing to Ukraine?? If so, you are very much in the fringe minority in the free world.

    I would have thought being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually thrown in an oven would be considered a bigger threat. I don't know who Doug Casey is, but he sounds like a complete idiot.

    You mean like when Canada bankrupted anyone who supported a truck protest and put some of them in jail for merely protesting?
    Nobody that I am aware of was bankrupted or put in jail for "merely protesting". That is entirely legal and in fact constitutionally protected in Canada. The courts wouldn't put up with that for a nanosecond.
    Heck, I even remember your moron Trudeau threatening americans with civil forfeiture should we donate to the trucker protests. That's about as nazi as you can get...
    Civil forfeiture of what? The money they sent? Once the so-called protests were declared unlawful by the courts for blocking public roads and borders for an extended period of time, and an injunction against that conduct was issued by a superior court,
    of course the government would have the right to block funding of a continuing criminal contempt of court, especially when the violation was costing the Canadian economy billions of dollars in trade. Nobody has the right to fund criminal conduct. That's
    just common sense. It has absolutely nothing to do with "Naziism". That is just silly hyperbole on your part. No government in any free country would tolerate a blockage of the major trade routes and borders or an occupation of their capital city, and

    Wow look at all that Canadian coping going on with you trying to justify the crimes committed against those protesters. And, fuck you about Trudeau and civil asset forfeiture...Trudeau was even saying on TV he'd get American bank accounts seized for
    donating to truckers. Canada is a socialized mess ran by a dictator and it's a joke the way Canadians keep trying to cope telling themselves they have freedom....especially at the same time they are having to support migrants while also seeing their

    Umm. Quite a parallel. Thanks, glad to see somebody else make that note (as self-serving as it appears to be). We, too, are well off. (Because of life-long planning. Correct stock selections (medical stock in the ‘90’s), correct career moves (multi-
    state locations), correct professional moves) (And it didn’t hurt passing their IQ test and ending up in their, Management Career Progression Path Tracks. (Along with night school and college classes) AND able to put two kids through college. We were
    fortunate enough that my wife became a stay at home mom. (And making a few bucks with her art ‘hobby’).

    So sorry Risky couldn’t ‘find a partner.’

    I can't wait for the day that you are using dirty needles on the sidewalk. Asshole.

    I would have thought being captured by Nazis, put in a concentration camp, and eventually thrown in an oven would be considered a bigger threat. I don't know who Doug Casey is, but he sounds like a complete idiot.

    You mean like when Canada bankrupted anyone who supported a truck protest and put some of them in jail for merely protesting?
    Nobody that I am aware of was bankrupted or put in jail for "merely protesting". That is entirely legal and in fact constitutionally protected in Canada. The courts wouldn't put up with that for a nanosecond.
    Heck, I even remember your moron Trudeau threatening americans with civil forfeiture should we donate to the trucker protests. That's about as nazi as you can get...
    Civil forfeiture of what? The money they sent? Once the so-called protests were declared unlawful by the courts for blocking public roads and borders for an extended period of time, and an injunction against that conduct was issued by a
    superior court, of course the government would have the right to block funding of a continuing criminal contempt of court, especially when the violation was costing the Canadian economy billions of dollars in trade. Nobody has the right to fund criminal
    conduct. That's just common sense. It has absolutely nothing to do with "Naziism". That is just silly hyperbole on your part. No government in any free country would tolerate a blockage of the major trade routes and borders or an occupation of their
    capital city, and that is precisely what the judge who issued the injunction said. "Intolerable"
    and seeing as how so many ukrainians are in Canada and Canada is supporting the nazi regime in Ukraine, I guess we can safely see who is the nazi in this >group. Fucking Canadians, there oughta be a law.
    The Ukrainian governments are "Nazis?" News to me. I think that is just more silly hyperbole on your part. Pretty much the entire free world denounces the invasion of Ukraine, and the NATO countries in particular are doing everything they
    think they reasonably can to push Russia back where they belong. You actually support what Putin is doing to Ukraine?? If so, you are very much in the fringe minority in the free world.
    Wow look at all that Canadian coping going on with you trying to justify the crimes committed against those protesters. And, fuck you about Trudeau and civil asset forfeiture...Trudeau was even saying on TV he'd get American bank accounts
    seized for donating to truckers. Canada is a socialized mess ran by a dictator and it's a joke the way Canadians keep trying to cope telling themselves they have freedom....especially at the same time they are having to support migrants while also seeing
    their jobs get taken and their housing prices becoming outrageously unaffordable.
    ~ I don't know...it just doesn't feel like I am living in a gulag. I'm trying to imagine how life could be any better but I'm stumped.


    You could find a partner who's even wealthier to support you.
    ~ Nah, we already have way more money than we are ever going to spend. We have both been relatively high earners for over 30 years, I have been very successful in investing our money, we have no kids, and we live quite modestly. It seems like you have

    I get the feeling there are a few people on this newsgroup who have never had a successful relationship with a woman. It's not hard to figure out why based on their personalities.

    I wouldn’t limit that, ‘failure of a successful relationship,’ to just women. Failure of relationships would
    extend to nearly everything; including social intercourse here.

    This becomes particularly visible when they simply cannot admit failure of any kind. If they can’t address
    an error for a failure of any kind, they simply bury their heads (run and hide). This is noticeable in on-line
    poker games, where a person that loses a hand will just leave the game, as though in humiliation. Whereas,
    in a brick and mortar game, we usually say, “Good hand, well played.”

    Have you seen anybody here admit, “Oh, you’re right?”
