Not sure how to proceed with this one. The only time I've ever heard 'boy' used as a racist quip is when it's used in the singular, and if it's used as an appellation rather than a noun. "She was hot, boy." "Our boys on the work site were wondering about the conduit..." "I'm too old for this. Go ask the boy in the shop." Others can comment about their home states. In Canada, I guarantee you that none of the above would be intended as or interpreted as racial epithets. "Where do you think she got these, boy?", where "boy" is singular, deliberately appended as an appellation, and spoken by a white male to a black male, could possibly be intended as a slur, but even this is extremely unlikely. Perhaps the rules are different for the US. Mid: now that we know, avoid references to "boys" in future if verrip is included. verrip: Mid isn't a racist. I'd stake a million dollars on it. The fact that you didn't give him the slightest benefit of the doubt is on your own conscience. For now, I think it's best if everyone just dropped the issue and got back to discussing current affairs. ETA: Name edit. Writing too fast. - Virgil (Mod)

Virgil, I think it was verrip calling Mid a racist.
Yup, I've seen the term used in a derogatory manner in regards to race too many times but I don't see being used that way in Mid's statement.

well obviously I have to defer to virgil's opinion since he knows all of you way better than I do. but as you can see, people have very different ideas about what is a ' racist' comment..if there is any doubt as to whether something can be taken wrong, please don't say it..

Verrip1, if what you took I said to be offensive then I'm sorry and apologize. I have been referring for a long time to all involved in rat pack as you boys. My reference to boys if derogatory was meant more in a childish way of how they act at times and by not saying guys or men.
I've never heard that being used as a racist term, but if you say it is then I'll respect that and try to remember that it offends you. Also if you feel disrepected by that comment, it was farthest thing from my mind was something as a racially based attack. This is a thread about silver and gold, not about ones race (which shouldn't even matter). If I use that term in habit, please send me a friendly IM and I'll change it right away. This is the very first I've ever heard this being used in a racist way, so forgive me if I tend to use that, you should have pointed this out long ago if you found this offense.
I think this issue is solved for now, and no harm intended Verrip1. Can't say we see eye to eye at all, but tis nothing to do with your race nor did I even know that in the first place.
Now back to the topic at hand. SILVER IS UP!!!!!!!!!!

Mid,
let it go, if anyone on this board is offended by your comment, then they are the ones with the problem.
As for silver and gold, it is great that I am on the right side of this investment, but it does sadden me to know it really means the financial destruction of America. Love Hate relationship I guess.
The Boys that own metal should not feel good about what is happening to America and the world.

Quote: I see that racists run in packs.
For the record Verrip whoever you are, I am no racist as well. But you certainly have a problem with other creeds.
As to the issue of Gold and Silver it is going to revalue itself, just like the fiat ridden debt note is. I am waiting for conformation as to some very heavy stuff that is going to light things up like you have no idea.
Till tomarrow, all have a nice eve.

Oh dear, Gold and Silver are plunging into the abyss of fiat ridden debt note expansion and hyper inflationary outlook coming to head. NEW UPDATE: $1404.50/$33.78 So any of the rat pack, would you like to comment on how Decoy and Myself have been consistently right, and have continued to be right?? This train is leaving the station, you might be able to catch the next one but it will cost you more since you didn't pre-book your trip with the rest of us.

Gold and Silver both moving upwards overnight. Prices will continue to climb and the situation around the world continues with the dollar inflation and reserve currency of the world losing it's reserve status.
The bailouts and printing of dollars is more to blame for the chaos that is happening. Best explanation I can give is take a hornets nest, the middle east with various dictators, and people very unhappy. Now take inflation making staples they rely on daily costing too much too afford, and causing hunger, or financial problems in their life. The dollar is like the baseball bat that hit the hornets nest, now it's pissed off. It wasn't the initial problem but it was the source of the tipping point we are now seeing.

The dollar is fine an dandy with gold and silver...but when the emphasis turns to wheat, cotton and grains.....sorry we only accept..........................dollars Sorry, try as you might and always do to pump the market, the dollar is a done deal. It's been exposed, and other than tiny words coming from FTI and friends, you have no evidence, graphs, charts or articles supporting your outlook. The dollar is at a very tight spot holding 77.20 as we speak. Not looking good. It's going to be trading down much more in the future.

Your right Mid there are tiny words, coming from the death to America camp. This loss of reserve currency issue is just the latest in a string of theories as to why the US is finished. He is an interesting thing to think about. Since the Sterling has been replaced as the reserver currency, the FTSE has outperformed the S&P 500, and had Europe not used all of the money that the USA sent it after WW2 to turn into a bunch of socialists, they would have been in way better shape than they are now.. What the Dollar’s Reserve Currency Status Means for Your Investments moneywatch.bnet.com/investing/blog/wise-investing/what-the-dollars-reserve-currency-status-means-for-your-investments/2065/ Mid the US Dollar(62%) and the Euro (27%) Make up 90% of the worlds reserve currencies. 38% of new Euro bond issues have been in USD(Some of us know who are buying thoses )!!!! Oh ya, and your wondering why we haven't cured AIDS yet?? It was first discovered in 1981. If you look at Small pox for example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox It only took 12,000 yrs to cure small pox. But we should have a cure for AIDS and every other disease by now, and since we don't, a cabal that is destroying our way of life and giving Bill Gates AIDS MEDS!! to spread their control around the world, not only exists, but only people as smart as you can see it. Some people work hard everyday to cure these issues, some people work even harder to keep you free, so that you can sit around and complain that things aren't prefect, and since they aren't we are controlled.

Ahambuger, I'm going to ask you nicely to first off don't ever refer to me or us as death to America camp. That is by far insulting, and funny coming from a Canadian which doesn't from obvious conversations we've had know about my USA history. Apparently in your world someone that forecasts the hurricane coming enjoys and cheers on the destruction in it's path. Shoot the messenger, not point the finger at the PLANNED demise of the west that is happening. Oh yes, this is no mistake, and your lack of understanding that fact seeing how you drill it on here with backed up sources daily makes you look all the more the fool and more likened to someone that just can't pass 5th grade, and keeps flunking. Second, disagree if you must, but the insults stop here. I'm getting tired of you nasty BS you come bring to my threads. Knock it off!! Third, we are not talking about aids here, so if you would like to start a thread about that, then do so, but this is about Gold and Silver, so let's keep it that way. Thank you for your cooperation.

FTI, and yet another threat Mid. Why Verrips threat I am still waiting for the Moderators to address. Why are these people allowed to spout around with threats? Bodily harm threats now by both FTI and Verrip.
See folks, these are ones that simply do not want the TRUTH discussed much less exposed.
SILVER TO THE MOON ALICE AND GOLD RIGHT NEXT TO IT. When the fiat debt ridden note STOMPED OUT, then you will see a correction.

I really hope you realize how that sounds. Sorry about the facts mid!
When I talk about the DoA crowd I was referring to the people trying to sell the story of the end of the Dollar. That is the Chinese Commies, Russian Commies, and the Iranian Commies. You know, all the places that are erupting because they want our way of life, even though the leaders say that don't.
I find it interesting that you link yourself into this group, and refer to it as your USA.
I was just trying to help educate you on the situation. However, since I'm Canadian I see that I can't.

What does that have to do with the fact that Russia, China, and Iran are the countries really trying to sell the death of America story? Or the fact that China has increased US debt by 30% this year; and mostly likely more than that through brokerages in the UK? Or the fact those Euro bonds that have been sold latley are 38% USD denominated, and have been bought buy the Chinese and Japanese?
I know you like the outdoors, but lets keep the thread on topic here, okay?

1433.20 Gold and 34.69 Silver!! Inflation is pushing the price of metals up, and upwards pressure in the stock market as bailout/printing press money finds a home, and gives the illusion of prosperity as Rome burns. I call it the financial Sacking of Rome.

guest10, are you familiar with Duff from the MSN MT that used to be with us? The article above you dropped off has much of what Duff covered. Why they went as far as to make his posts on all of this disappear and he had to fight to get it back!
Silver has left stage 2 as I said yesterday. We are in stage 3 now.

It looks as if the silver manipulation is starting to end and is coming out of it's shell working it's way to the inflation adjusted high of the 1980's and beyond at this point.
Hi Ho Silver and Away!!!!!
