Re: Soldier Pawns Medal To Pay For Christmas

BREWTECH While I absolutely agree with what you are implying Mamboni (I really do), I can't help but come to the conclusion that what the soldier was doing and what Monsieur Dimon represents serve the exact same purpose, in the end.

For most honest working folks, it takes many days to earn $646.00 (about a week on avg?)

Take a star major league baseball pitcher with a $9 mil/yr contract. Somebody might correct my math for me, but I figured it takes me 4-5 days (when I'm working) to earn the money he gets paid every time he throws the ball to the plate in a game.

If you want to make a boatload of money these days, steer clear of honest, useful work. It just don't pay.

the Fukushima thread might be the most epic.

also K-os Mystery tour thread.

honorable mentions for Stacker Ken & Silver Art's threads. gold-silver-wise, the thread where Silver Art first made the call for $26 as the second-half-of-2011 low is also a classic ... seeing as how he called it to the penny ... so far.

I can't decide on one or two posts, or even a single thread. The amount of brain power on this forum is overwhelming. I can't think of a single member on this board that hasn't made at least one point that has led to epiphany for me (I guess that includes the trolls and shills... they may be jerks, but they ain't stupid).

Thanks to everyone, for having the courage to speak your minds here. The value is limitless in this day and age.

I nominate.............hummmmmmmmmm I , I , I......sorry guys but I just can't name it because I can only think of one person and I should not vote for MYSELF hahahahahahahaahahhahhah...................to me all the treads are good or I would not be here.......thanks to everyone for being here and making us what we are........we are a small group of out of the box thinkers who knows what is going on and are ready to act on it......may the coming year be one of joy and not sadness.

Love you all......from.........the attention whore......(aka Ponce) :)

I said POST, not THREAD you silly fucks.

One of the times awoke posted "tag" so he could read the thread when he got home from work and not be limited by the nanny filter.

I nominate one the many 'GoD' threads that have rules applied to them...it's damn funny when folks break GoD's thread rules. ;D

Since mamboni's was mentioned as a counterpoint, here's one from him that broke the bank.

If treasures are in a bubble like an engorged spleen, the latter develops pathologic internal resistance to flow (capital), as blood (money/credit) pools inside the spleen (treasuries) in lieu of circulating in the peripheral to supply oxygen to the tissues (small businesses, consumers). FED purchases of treasuries and interest rate targeting (Operation Twist) essentially shunt arterial blood into the spleen, further starving the tissues. The Wall Street banks are blood sucking leeches attached to the spleen. They have adapted themselves as pure parasites and require continuous blood from the spleen to survive. Splenic blood pressure must continually rise (declining interest rates) to feed the parasites. When the interest rate zero bound is reached the spleen has reached maximum blood volume and will either explode/hemorrhage (deflation) or collapse/contract (rising interest rates) and release it's blood into the circulation and cause malignant hypertension (hyperinflation).

See. That's what I'm TALKING ABOUT. Where the hell else are you going to hear analogies like that?? At work? Church? In line at the grocery store??

GoD picked my post as a nominee (and I appreciate it), but how can I compete with that?

This place is PRICELESS.

Damnit, I think I just about thanked everyone, too many good posts (I'm still searching), most of all thanks for the laughs GSUS!!!

It's going to take awhile til you get good responses Mishko, Brewtech happened to make a great post today, so it was an easy find, but there are many. For example some of Pat Colos (post# 5), such as A.Hitler, Stalin and others as being named man of the year in their respective time periods. Just goes to show you how MSM flip-flops to appeal to the sheep to gain the sheep's trust...and sadly still goes on today with great effect.

Off the top of my head I'd have to say that midnight rambler and mamboni have made some very profound posts this year.

From this thread:

So frankly, 'officers of the law' need to reflect upon why folks no longer respect them.

When confronted with fair questions and attempts to debate their position they become angry, violent and oppressive. In the same breath, they claim to be oppressed victims of an unfair uncaring society. They then proceed to demand that property and rights be taken from their chosen scapegoat and transferred to them. Their basic premise is that inequality in outcome, in property, in personal wealth, is proof of an unfair society which favors some over the rest. They completely discount individual abilities, desires, ambitions, and constants like luck and misfortune. Theirs are the minds of children living in a virtual playground world of the mind, insisting that all have a toy and a spot in the sandbox; and like children, lacking restraint, long term thinking, and ability to empathize with those around them, they become violent and tempermental when their desires are not satisfied immediately.

And finally, this gem from mamboni:

Real women know that their true power is in the home, in child bearing, child rearing and in the bedroom. The earth mother is the nucleus of the family. The father and children orbit the mother. The family is the building block of great civilizations. Women exhort their men to be ambitious, for the security of their children and perpetuation of the family. Women allow men to prance on the public stage as it suits their purposes. Adulation does not feed a woman's heart; love does.

I nominate any of the above as post of the year.

Oh I know.

We've got Patcolo, Nuero, Large Sarge, Magnes, Nocturna, etc etc etc. Other than me calling people a cunt, we've got some brilliant posts so let's see the best of 2011.

That would be the Sabbath, which is from Sunset Friday to Sunset Saturday.

We are so fortunate to have a forum like GSUS. All of us are so much wiser, well informed and better prepared for the difficult days ahead becuase of it. When I cannot participate either for lack of access or the site being down(rarely) I feel a cavernous void, as a fish out of water. I cannot imagine how someone could waste their leisure time in front of the Talmudvision-run idiot box in lieu of being here. Hats off to everyone here: GSUS is great because of all the contributors here. Let's keep it going and try to make it a little better every day.

I nominate this post.

Why you ask?

Now you know.

I tried searching for the Mamboni post when he took off the gloves and lashed out at Book. It was all sorts of wrong but absolutely hilarious.

I did find Book's counter post, also epic on the funny scale.

The Doc's pic of books bug out bag was great, also the vids he made in response to ponce's blow up of 'his very important threads being ignored' was also hilarious as well.

Goes to show laughter is the best medicine.

I had a long engaging post in this thread but it disappeared....

thanks to everyone one here for their post .

I've got an indoor firing range. I was sitting in my easy chair finishing my fifth beer when I saw a mouse sitting by the leg of the couch. I had an old Remington .22 pump loaded with L.R. cartridges. I jacked one in and shot him. thought I'd take a photo to commemorate the event. I've got good carpet and it doesn't show the bullet holes.

Though I can't find the original to verify it was 2011... & the pic w/ it was priceless!!
