These guys are the Ron Paul supporters, they really don't trust either party at this point, I don't blame them. They think the federal government has gotten to big, which it has, they want to end the Fed, which they should. Personally I think their will be 2nd American Revolution coming within the next 10 years. Jesse Ventura really needs to run for President.

The problem is recession and depressions. Why do we choose to live with a system that essentially creates them, why do we make ourselves suffer from time to time, maybe we were tricked into adopting this current system... Allen, this is the next great depression, we are living in it. September '07 is when it started. There is no recovery, we are being lied to. Buy silver now. You all should really look into what I am saying, I have no reason to lie.

we do need a new stadium so I'm happy about that, too bad I live in the north side of the city, it will be a longer drive now.

I'm thinking a new 3rd party will emerge, they know they can't trust either democrats or republicans. Maybe an Internet candidate.

Yes, but where did the first Canadian Dollar come from? I know what you are saying, but that is not how money is created, that is how capitalism or the free trade market works, but not how money is created. I think I have firm grasp on the subject none of these mean the poorer are richer now then they were 100 years ago. I get it, technology has evolved, we don't live the same lifestyles as 100 years ago, that still doesn't mean the poor are any richer now. A documentary on the banking system in Canada and how money is created.

Nothing, it didn't exist, this is how new money comes into existence. Thats great, but all money in existence is created out of debt. In order for Canada to have money, it loaned it from the Bank of Canada. The Bank of Canada made the money it loaned Canada out of thin air. It then charges interest on the money it loaned out, the problem is, if the Bank only loaned out $10 and with interest we have to pay back $11, where will the 1 dollar come from to pay the Bank of Canada back, no where, it doesn't exist. It's perpetual debt. Impossible to pay back the Bank of Canada without going into more debt. 1=1A 1=1(0) 1=0 A would have to equal 1 for the equation to work, not 0. Your not getting what I'm saying. Nobody would have any money unless some1 initially loaned the money to bring it into existence. Define richer.

The money that is in your hand was loaned by someone initially in order for it to be in existence, money is created out of debt. You yourself may not have personally took out the loan to create that money but someone else did.

I'm panthiest I do not believe god created the universe, I believe god is the universe, we are all god.

What countries don't consider gold money. I know when you buy gold or silver here, there is no tax because they are considered money. How so. Personally, I think paper money is far more flawed. So central banks can't just hit the print button if they want to introduce new money into the system. When they do this, the value of the currency goes down, so all the people who have savings in that currency are then essentially robbed of their wealth. Kind of like what is happening world wide, more so in the States. Our dollar is expected to surpass the American dollar soon, the American dollar will continue to fall, it's like the print button got jammed in the on position and they can't turn it off. Agreed That is a scary thing considering the Federal Reserve in the States is a private corporation. Not only do they control the wealth of the nation, since the Dollar is the world reserve currency they control the wealth of a good chunk of the world. I'm gonna say it again, the Fed is a PRIVATE CORPORATION. Anybody else see that as a problem? "Federal reserve policy will continue at an expanding rate, with massive credit expansion, which will make the dollar crisis worse." - Ron Paul, April 26th, 2002. "During the next decade, the American people will become poorer and less free, while they become more dependant on the government for economic security" - Ron Paul, April 26th, 2002.

Truthfully, I agree with you. I think gold and silver are both useless, I don't know why the world values those metals, but we do. I am actually buying silver right now. I don't even think we should continue with capitalism or free trade or have an economy for that matter, we should all just work together, but those ideas are too extreme for some people, that much change would frighten them. The only reason we need our currencies backed by something is so central banks can't just print the hell out of currencies and inflate them. Similar to what the Fed is doing in the states. That's the reason I'm buying silver, the US dollar will continue to fall. Commodities will go up.

Only because we are forced to. If you had a choice to have money backed by gold or money backed by nothing, which would you choose.

Why do these guys still exist. There is nothing royal about the royal family.

Lesson on Money. Group A gave their gold to Guy to store for them. Guy then gave Group A certificates that they could redeem back to him for their gold. Guy realized that people would just trade the certificates and not the physical gold. Guy then had the idea of loaning the gold Group A gave to Guy to other people and charge interest on it. Guy wouldn't actually have to loan the physical gold, he just gave certificates out. Group A was concerned that Guy was loaning out their gold, but when they got their all their gold was still their. Instead of withdrawing their gold, they just made Guy pay them a small amount of interest. Thus the 1st bank was created. This worked good until their was a panic and everyone wanted their gold from Guy, but he gave out more certificates then he had gold. Instead of England banning this practice, they legalized it and regulated it. The system was good for funding and expanding infrastructure. This money which use to represent a commodity like gold or silver, now represents nothing, the only thing that give currency value now is the residual trust that this paper is valuable. The market didn't decide currency should be backed by nothing, bankers and governments that supported them did. Now Central banks can determine the purchasing power of our money simply by controlling the supply. "People would rather have cigarettes then pieces of paper as money" - Ron Paul Paper can't be money. Money needs to be backed by something people want.

Answer: The total debt is larger then the total savings. Banks lend out at a ratio of usually 9:1(varies bank to bank). For every $100 they receive, they lend out $900. They lend us money that they create out of thin air. They then charge interest on it. We then labor and pay them back with our hard earned money. This is how new money is created. Money is created out of debt. You could call it fraudulent, I do. Who cares where they print the dollars, that's irrelevant, all that matters is who controls the dollar. Central banks. I wish you guys would open your eyes, look at what is really happening in the States, not what the main stream media or Obama says is happening. They are headed into depression courtesy of the Federal Reserve.

I know how I'm planning for the upcoming inflation, I'm buying silver now.

GDP is 1.3 Trillion collars, man that is a lot of collars, I wouldn't even know what to do with that many collars. All you need to know is that central banks can manipulate economies by controlling the amount of money in circulation and by setting interests rates. They by extension can control countries. Not very complex, pretty simple.

That's the problem, I can't tell you a time where we didn't live under the control of Oligarchs. As for better, Freedom. No more patent or copyright laws. No more war on drugs. No more debt slavery. Can't you guys see threw their poor disguise.

We'll see. I do not need him to save my ass. you mean agri-giants profit from hunger. Trillions have been pumped into the economy world wide, it's only temporarily prosperous. We live in a time where corporate/political/banking oligarchs control the world.

end the war on drugs. Why do people care if he does cocaine, let him live his life.

I've said this a few times already, we are living The Greatest Depression right now. engineered... Obama is nothing but a puppet in this puppet show we call politics. It seems to keep most of us entertained. Kinda distracts us from the real problems though. The military industrial complex profits from wars.

Wouldn't be an expansion team. And if anyone was to buy and bring a team to Winipeg it would be David Thomson who is 24th richest man in the world and is part owner of the MTS center. What make you say a team would fail here. Minnesota is on their second team and they are doing well. This isn't 1996 anymore, its 2010, Winnipeg doesn't have the same economy as back then. I'm not saying we are getting a team anytime soon, but we will get a team before Hamilton.

They won't put a team in Southern Ontario for a while, Winnipeg is ahead of Southern Ontario. Hamilton wouldn't be new fans, it would just be stealing fans from other teams. That is why they don't want a team their. Why do you think Phoenix isn't in Hamilton right now. The NHL want to expand into NEW MARKETS such as Winnipeg, they want new revenue. Your right, it's all about money.

It doesn't matter who is president, nothing will change. Both democrats and republicans work for the same team, the rich and powerful.

has nothing to do with the NHL, I'm not a fan of capitalism, socialism or even money.

The NHL doesn't want another team in Southern Ontario. There are many teams already in that region. Putting a Team their would just draw fans away from the other teams like Buffalo. Winnipeg on the other hand is an untapped market. These are new fans. Not many people drive out to Edmonton or Minnesota to watch hockey games. Source CBC
