Constitutionality of Delegating Authority to Independent Agencies (or: Calling BS on Zaku)

[Imran Siddiqui]

they are a certificate of value

Indicating that they are the value of.... a dollar!

[KrazyHorse]

They are promising, you ****ing moron, that when you go to the bank with a wad of notes that those notes are backed by the faith of the US gov to be worth their noted amount

WHAT IS THE US GOVERNMENT PROMISING THE BANK TO GIVE THEM FOR THOSE NOTES?

Notes are not worth anything in they're physical form, they are a certificate of value, a slip saying how much you get for it.

A slip saying how much of WHAT I get for them, ****?

[Kontiki]

Notes are not worth anything in they're physical form, they are a certificate of value, a slip saying how much you get for it.

How much of what?

[KrazyHorse]

I would love to see zaku go into the federal reserve with a wad of bills and ask for his money.

[KrazyHorse]

Here's a thousand dollars, you bastards. Now WHERE'S MY MONEY?

[KrazyHorse]

Maybe he thinks there's some sort of supersecret real currency that the Fed keeps behind closed doors.

[Felch]

How much of what?

Packs of smokes. You know a carton can keep your bunghole penis free for up to a whole week.

Maybe he thinks there's some sort of supersecret real currency that the Fed keeps behind closed doors.

[Theben]

theben, I don't think you understand the problem: zaku doesn't think that a dollar is worth a dollar except based on faith in the US gov't. I think that "A is A" is pretty much a true statement.

Well then that's even dumber. If the govt collapsed it'd still be worth a dollar... just that a dollar would be worth crap.

[KrazyHorse]

That is my point, and is what he doesn't understand, apparently.

[KrazyHorse]

I can't even imagine what it must be like to be wrong ALL THE TIME.

[Arrian]

the value of anything is equal to the amount 2 or more humans agree it's worth.

People who believe that gold, silver, or any other metallic form of currency is somehow OBJECTIVELY worth something amuse the heck out of me.

Do go on, zaku!

[Theben]

That is my point, and is what he doesn't understand, apparently.

I knew you knew that, and I knew you'd respond you knew, but I typed it anyway so that Zaku would know, which you probably know.

[KrazyHorse]

I wish I could claim that I was trying to draw him into saying more ridiculous crap but I literally was trying to explain it as clearly as I could. Unfortunately, when you run into somebody who says something like what I've now got in my sig it becomes sort of difficult.

[Theben]

Isn't there some fizzic stuff that says 'A=A, except when...?" Maybe that's whut he wuz arguing.
