[QUOTE="dancqeen95, post: 3242764, member: 140832"] Ok well this has happened before. We English wouldn't let you Americans use gold and silver so you used Mexican silver, and it was divided up into pieces of 8 hence the name, and yeah I was thinking about being the guy on the island..but I do understand your point, I just don't agree with it. We are currently in a debt/currency crisis. If you look at Greece the banks are asset stripping the country to pay off the debt and as they carry on with austerity measures the people suffer. Yet the debt belongs to the banks and what they used to say until quite recently was the banks didn't want to take a "haircut". i.e. lose money If you look at the housing crisis in the US. The people who took out the bad loans are blamed and yet the banks knew what they were getting into. They deliberately lent money to people who they must of known at some time wouldn't be able to pay, and yet they get bailed out and the people get blamed , what the banks were doing was taking a risk, if I did that by becoming a day trader and lost my money, no one would bail me out so why should we the people bail these guys out, and then on top of it give them huge bonuses for bad business practices that lose money.?
